I don't know about others but I have zero knowledge of the Italian language and would struggle to get out 20 euros. I don't know the Italian words for "checking" or "savings" or "deposit" or "withdrawal" etc or even finding the option to change languages.

I'm sure tightie whities have the same effect.

Just curious did they make 40,000 phone calls to get everyone there or was email used to draw interest to the event? Facebook? Evite?

It was smog that day according to him. I wasn't there or saw any pictures. He knows what smog looks like after living in NYC and been in several other major cites.

A study that stated kids who listen to loud music also smoke pot is flawed when pot is legal in the county.

You forgot the NIC card.

I had a family friend that went to China. You want government propaganda? The smog in the city was blamed on dust storms. Yes dust storms, not pollution.

Then you probably have a bad battery.

You do know that is an issue with almost every smartphone? If you heavily use it the battery will drain in 2 hours. I had the EVO with my last job and it would last all day with light use.

Sadly my work phone is the Gusto and even more sad is that was an upgrade from my previous AT&T phone. I switched to Verizon because AT&T has no signal in the buildings I work in (Verizon and Sprint repeaters). I was hoping my cheap ass company would at least get me a dumbphone with a QWERTY but no luck.

Halon is still around. The server room for the company I contract with, GE Energy has Halon. It's just office space converted so it's not a real data center. I first saw Halon at the Disney data center while taking a tour during college back in 1995ish.

Maybe they thought that was the "ancient Chinese secret" to doing laundry?

This is the part Warren Buffett leaves out when he talks about paying less taxes than his secretary. His only income is investment income and is taxed lower than income from employment. That is why the Google founders only get paid $1.

Kindle Fire: 9.7" LCD 32 GB.

Some sort of Nokia (that I still have) circa 1999 from A&T. I've resold most my other phones if still in working condition. I keep a spare on hand just in case, which came in handy a few months ago when my Droid X died.

Ok then how do you avoid the random "license" check?

Sounds like a sales pitch for Onstar if I've ever heard one.

Height/weight alone don't tell the story. I am 6'4" 230 lbs with a large gut. My best friend is 6'4" 240 and has a 6 pack. If you use the BMI index we're both obese. Even when I was 180 lbs and traveling for work it was an uncomfortable fit both shoulder wise and especially leg room. My legs don't fit sitting…

For those who know what Aldi is you BYOB so most bring their own or buy bags. It's not a regular grocery store as they don't carry everything but I get my milk, bread, some veggies from there. Milk goes in one bag, everything else in the 2nd bag.

I'm still sad that Atlanta lost Dagmar even though with her enhancements took away half the map.
