@Manly McBeeferton: Well, our seasons are based on the tilt of the axis of rotation, and the location of the earth in its elliptical. But the spin itself isn't season-inducing, just enables us to define the degree of tilt from a reference in this case (I assume perpendicular to the earths orbit).

@phinn: To be fair, until the iphone could push/pull and sync with domino and exchange servers, it was about 5 years behind actual-factual smartphones. But it made plenty of promises that came several years, and several versions, later.

I prefer Ensign Darwin the Dolphin to Flipper...

@Captain K'nuckles: I'll tell you one way it happens:

@durian: Good I'll punch margarine in the face every time. The facetious point I was making was that she ate a lot of butter and it was her favorite snack. She's 103 and still healthy :)

@Iowa11: My great grandmother immigrated from Canada (I know, I knoww... America's hat - that's neither here nor there) and never drove a car in her life.

@Iowa11: Wow I just fell out of my chair laughing. And then I made myself stop because it's not nice to laugh. But then I started again because that was truly hilarious. I'm having a seizure in my desk chair because I can't decide whether to laugh or hold it in.

@irfan: I just threw up in my mouth.

@Iowa11: I just mentioned for the sake of irony. That she would still be active into her 100's. My great grandmother is now 103 and altho she doesn't ride bicycles, she's just fine chillin with the other oldies but goodies :)

@Iowa11: Not true, she frequently enjoyed riding her bicycle well into her 90's and 100's.

@irfan: Stop pretending that Digital Fortress wasn't your favorite book of all time. That could be the best 124 minutes of grown-up reading you've ever spent. Ever. Maybe it only took 24 minutes, I can't remember. All I know is there was a computer that had a virus, something caught on fire, and then somebody got…

@vinod1978: I should mention that I noticed QVC also comes in SD and HD. Second thought, maybe just 'forget' to mention that.. (does anyone still watch QVC?)

@vinod1978: That is craziness. I canceled cable and found that I still get basic because my apartment complex has it by default. I do get ABC and Fox in HD tho and I'm not sure why. But it's pretty sweet since I get to watch the World Cup games at their finest. The rest of basic is absolute garbage, although…

@JEmlayUSA: I'm sold. I don't have five rooms to feed. And I can't recommend that you add five pc's and a billion input devices. I'm on board with you, it would be a major pain and not worth any monetary return. The return of time in your life is a philosophical debate and a personal preference. I support your…

I wonder if advertisements will flash across the keys like a billboard every couple of minutes. I wouldn't even be mad about that.

@JEmlayUSA: Ouch... I can see how shows are missed if they are a few months old, or HBO exclusives (which you can still get elsewhere, but usually they stick around for a few weeks? I have the subscriptions set up online and then they update in Hulu Desktop and it's kept my poking around on the tv to just arrow key…

@vinod1978: It's doable. I just canceled cable two weeks ago to see what would happen. I have my tower hooked up via hdmi, and I watch when I want to watch without getting stuck on the couch staring at a mindless show that I've probably already seen three times. Also, I get to keep that $60 every month.

The only reason my friends and I use Skype is to "shoot the breeze." I think it's really fun, and the exact opposite of awkward. However, I like interacting with human beings for realz.

@That Guy: Check out my leprechaun flute that my grandfather gave me. It's been passed down for hundreds of years and is in no way just an average piece of Schedule 40 sprinkler pipe with some holes drilled into it. GIVE ME THE GOLD, I WANT THE GOLDD!

Looks like Silver Spur near Hawthorne up in Palos Verdes. It is a pretty badass view up there, I'd recommend it. Then go take some pictures of Donald Trumps Golf Course, because you definitely can't play on it unless you love spending $200 per round. After that, stop by the new hotel developments to the southeast…
