@mgrdcm: I'm in the same boat; two years into my 4 year ext warranty. My 720p plasma is starting to show signs of screen burn, but it's only an annoyance at this point. I'll wait till 1 month before it expires unless it gets really bad. My ext warranty was only $159 though.

Never, ever, ever "loan" someone money. Even if you don't expect to get it back, some small part of you will still expect repayment. Just like giving a birthday or christmas present, giving someone a monetary "gift", you won't expect it to be returned. If you expect any level of reciprocity, it's not truly a gift.

Wait a minute, I came up with a completely random mix of words to point out that if something is too new or doesn't exist, you can't really blame the search engine until enough searching for the phrase is done.

Up next, the newest sensation to be used in EVERY FRACKIN hit pop song....

OHH NO!!! Four Loko will kill y... Wait, what? $2.49 a can, that's not too bad.

@Tommy Five: Honestly, I can say that I have not been on her end of the line for the longest time. So, I don't live with that boiling hatred of telemarketers. I just find it funny, that after she gets her "prize" from a marketing promotion, she will continue to hate marketers with a passion.

I wouldn't have felt one ounce of pity for her if she had lost the opportunity. As much as we all hate commercialism (although evidentially not as much as her), promotions and prizes are meant to lure consumers towards a product. If she hates being advertised to, she could have easily turned down advertising money.

The fact that it is made up of so many repeating words or terms for molecules makes it "meh". Maybe the rules for the longest word should include some rules that base words can only be used so many times or they have to been publish x number of times. In all actuality, this word is gonna be in the vocabulary…

The way I prevent confusion where everyone else has the exact same thing, is to not have the exact same thing. Problem solved.

@Unicorn Man: Porting your number is no different than using the number that you can choose when starting GV. It just serves to never have to port it again if you switch carriers or companies.

@pbjelly: 1) depends how you place the actual call. With my Evo and Google Voice, everytime I dial a number it asks if I want to make the call with GV or without. If I choose without, my Sprint number shows on caller ID, if I choose with, my GV number shows.

Chances are if you manage your money to the point that you are get hit with overdraft fees, you will be over the limit on your credit cards and make late payments as well. I had my share of both and finally was able to manage things right. Although, I'm still paying down debts, I don't use credit cards and run all my…

THIS!!!! This is what America is about, what being American is about. Not all the bullshit from the past week. This... this makes my heart smile.

I love this. I was just thinking the other day while using the voice features on my Evo, that what we really need for true voice recognition is a device that captures your voice throughout the day and analyzes it for each person's tone, accent and everything else that makes speech unique. While reading a few pages…

@Orage42: Even with all the new advances in speech recognition, text to speech and now this, we are a long way from losing the need for human translation. Human spoken language is so full intricacies that the same sentence said in various ways will have very different meanings.

So the Conversation would go like this at a mexican resturant...

@Garowetz: Doh, now I lost.

Here's mine...

@lilyHaze: Thank you for rewording my statements. /s
