I'm kind of going on a tangent here, but can someone explain to me what people mean when they say, "I don't like vegetables." I'm not talking about "picky" people who refuse to eat vegetables. I'm talking about perfectly rational people who actually do force themselves to eat vegetables because they know they are…

Wow, thanks for the awesome reply.

Nah, I honestly don't think that's a legitimate fear for me. I've been using a crappy blackberry pearl for like 3 years now. Was using a dumbphone for like 4 years before that. I'm totally fine hanging on to things for a while

Gave it a half thought, but I'm a bit too anal for that kind of thing. I'd be too worried about warranties and such.

True, very true. Whenever I start fantasizing about a fancy high-end phone I start thinking, "Do I REALLY need that stuff?" I also wouldn't be constantly worrying about dropping my super expensive toy as much

I don't really care much about NFC, but I hear your points for future ROM support. At this point I'm weighing whether paying the extra couple hundred bucks is worth the (slightly?) faster/longer support likely with the GN over the SGS2

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.
