@geolemon: I love every word you wrote, but I assure you Mont Blanc pens are always awesome to write with. They use a peculiar lacquer on the barrel that your hand can truly appreciate.

I made the semi-mistake of buying a $700 Mont Blanc pen. There's actually a big concern here:

Fact: if you read the whole plan, you'll come away with the idea that this is designed to ELIMINATE anonymity by bringing to everyone's awareness that they could be held accountable for any 'logged-in' action anywhere.

At age 23, no matter what a person has been through, they haven't even seen the start of life.

@mchtchariand: so lock up your mailbox if it's an external type. don't let your holiday credit card checks get stolen; 19th century technology is the most susceptible to social engineering. we had someone attempt on $10,500 in checks from my discover card. they got $2500 worth... before they were arrested and…

you forgot "mailbox diving."

@Wittyname: My kids are littler than that, hence the concern about chipping them soon.

@Coreboy: They show it. But you could have figured out that you have to carry to the next decimal place higher.

@Lacara: You counted incorrectly and didn't carry.

It works by respecting the polynomial nature of base-10 numbers. It's identical to Pascal's Triangle when interpreted as a guide for the Binomial Theorem.

Seriously I'm of the mind that it doesn't matter how they look. It matters how they sound and how they fit.

Resistivity is futile

This is kind of a silly statement. We all knew by about three years ago this is the direction we're going in; their comment is therefore completely unhinged and without credence.

Agreed this really is an a*holish move on their part. They made a big hoopla about this product and only supported it for a couple weeks as a stopgap between Winmo6.5 and Ph7?

I bet that army guy suddenly regrets not going to college.

@Timmy: I thought you were serious for a minute <3

Except for the big-ass *poof* you'll hear when it's launched... It may not sound like a cartridge-fired hook (more gunlike) but it will still emit a loud, omnidirectional point sound, easily found by sentries...
