Android opinions humbly requested, folks.

That I haven't tried yet, though I should. I don't have a lot of room for troubleshooting, though, since the culprit iPod is a somewhat infrequent visitor to my network.

I've really only noticed the issue consistently on one computer (the other isn't on too often). The computer doesn't recover on it's own. I usually have to wait for the iPod to disconnect. Sometimes I even have to reset my DSL modem to get it up again.

This one's been perplexing me a for a while.

I just reports it the ways I hears it. But, yeah, I agree with you 100%.

Haha, I'll remember that next time to save my tongue the bruising.

Yeah, that one mystifies me. And it's really hard to argue against because it's an idiom, so there's no real logical reason for "all of a sudden" to be the "correct" way. I got into an argument about this with someone, and his stance was that language is always evolving, so it's fine if it's changed. That sounds fine…

Most of my pet peeves are grammar related, but I've learned to bite my tongue since correcting grammatical mistakes appear to be EVERYONE ELSE'S pet peeve.

According to Google's help page [www.google.com] turning on that function only works if you're sending a text to another Google Voice number. That is, if you have this option on, sending a text from your phone to another person's Google Voice number will result in the receiving party seeing your Google Voice number as…

I realize we're now at the voting phase, but my current card is pretty great: AmEx Accelerated Cash Rewards through BoA. I just get a flat 1.25% on every purchase, no minimums or limits. Only slightly above the standard 1% and obviously not as high as the 5% you can wrangle with some cards, but it's just easy.

@wjglenn: Yeah, it's not really borne of anything rational. The only thing I might end up using with Professional would be XP mode. I've gone back and forth so many times, but now I'm thinking I'll just stick with Home Premium on the new computer, as a couple of other people have advised.

Re: socializing after work, it's not that I'm anti-social; I just do not enjoy hanging out at a bar for hours on end drinking and talking to tipsy people. I have nothing against it; I just don't personally enjoy it. Seeing as how that is like 80% of coworker socializing (the other 20% being golf), I'm never really…

@TheFu: That actually would have been my first choice, but I believe that discount is no longer available (I think you can get it for around $70 or so?) Maybe it didn't sound that way in my initial question, but I was looking for a way to do this without "stealing" anyway. I'm not going to play the rationalizing…

@chiruanna: I guess it would depend on how much more capacity and how much slower the one hard drive is compared to the other.

@scoobertron: But then I'd be stuck using the old machine??

@e-gadgetjunkie: But swearing is how I get things done. Well, damn.

@bobby.tables: Yeah, I'm still heavily considering that option, but I've already used up a fair portion of what I call my "computer karma" on...other things. I just figured if there were an easy way to switch the OSes, I might as well do that and avoid at least some of the moral ambiguities.

@JordanAT: I actually went through a similar process to upgrade my old computer to Win7 Pro (the old computer was 32-bit Vista, and I switched to 64-bit Win7, so there was this whole ordeal to go through). There's actually a way to do the process without having to call. There's this special program that will "back up"…

I'm getting a new laptop with OEM Windows 7 Home Premium. My old laptop has Win7 Professional. This OS is not OEM. I purchased it during that student discount upgrade that offered the same price for Professional as Home Premium (I think it was like $30).

@drongch: Didn't realize there were replies until now. Whoops.
