...which they aren't, as far as we can tell, because this post doesn't actually imply that they'll be bought out by a private equity firm. Hell, maybe the "private firm" mentioned in the post is Dell.

I get what he was getting at. He thought this meant Dell was selling out to a private equity firm. Doesn't make him any less wrong.

They didn't say they were being bought by a private equity firm. Dell might just be buying back all their stock and keeping things in-house. Private equity would be a step back, because they'd just be stripping the company for parts. That's something you do on the way out, not when you're on the way up.

If they're doing it so they can tell short-term investors (who demand ever-accelerating profits) to fuck the fuck off so they can focus on building better products, then no. Quite the opposite, actually, and I hope that's why they're doing it (that is, if they are).

As such, drivers looking to refuel have to do so in the early morning hours when temperatures are slightly less sweltering.

Yeah, King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime was still really good, even if it wasn't up to the snuff of Angel Dust.

I'm guessing that was a joke about Linux users in re: proper computers. :)

I wholeheartedly recommend they stick with Nick Foles-InALosingEffort, who's done nothing but put up numbers since college. Well, that and lose.

Bobby Bottleservice would make for a better coach than whoever the Eagles get. (Although he was better in just audio form on Comedy Bang Bang.)

No, but this device would make a lot more sense if it could. Device manufacturers will have to settle on a standard before Apple will build inductive charging into an iPhone, though.

Small, no. Hick, not really. You want real hicks, head to the northwest corner or east of the river.

Sorry, RCA, I'm not allowing you to sell this until you change the "Soundmat (tm) (r) (sm) (c)" to an inductive charger and use Bluetooth for audio. If that could access the alarm clock function on a smartphone, even better.

I just assume that this is why "make a bowl out of it" projects are disqualified from hacker challenges... because there are no greater engineers in history than potheads.

A Bluetooth receiver for my old alarm clock/iPod dock means that:

Not quite turned down, but I didn't follow up on an offer once I realized it was such a bad deal. They offered me the same barely-sustainable wage I'm already making, only I'd be taking the train instead of driving (so the cost of commuting would be a wash). Oh, and they wouldn't pay me until the end of a one-month…

Precisely. I'd expect this kind of backwards thinking out of the Naugatuck Valley towns (about as close as you'll get to Connectitucky without traveling to the far east hinterlands) but Southington's got some distance from that region.

Southington? If they're "outside" of Newtown, then Putnam County is juuuuust outside of Manhattan. (This probably doesn't make sense to people outside of the area, so we'll just say that to Connecticut residents, 30 miles is, like, for-fucking-ever away. We're the land of steady habits, inferiority complexes and an…

Oof, an MK802 Android stick? They've moved on to much better specs now. The Rockchip RK3066 seems to be the new standard processor (dual-core, running at 1.6Ghz), while the newer stick computers have 8GB of storage, Bluetooth and a full gig of RAM. The only advantage the original-recipe MK802 has over the newer ones…

Or a wrestler needs to incorporate one of these into a spot. It'd probably be someone in TNA, though, because WWE doesn't seem to do that kind of wackiness during matches any more. TNA at least gave us Scott Steiner on a pogo stick, and even though we had Dusty Rhodes flipping out on commentary about how one wrestler…
