I think we'll need proof of its effectiveness. With TP you keep wiping until there's nothing visible left on the paper. With a bidet, you sort of have to have faith. Maybe you got it all and maybe you didn't. Maybe some of it is still there, crusted, and hanging to your butt for dear life. Maybe you only think…

Ha! I sense a new internet meme: "Notice: meant only for people in the 1st world".

I thought I set the parameters for my statement, when I said "the God I believe in." If God doesn't exist, then my point is moot. If He does, and if He's "the same one" I mentioned, then my point stands.

Delusions of persecution anyone?

I think we can blame Vista for this one. Businesses in particular were wary about upgrading to it, because of all of the horror stories, and because XP is a pretty stable OS. It didn't stop being stable because Win7 came out - so why fix what isn't broken?

I'm sure there must have been a technical issue. They probably tried to film it, but the catapult moved too fast, and all they could capture was the splash.

..or Craigslist...

You know what's especially cool about this particular story? The comments. I've been around a while and didn't know some of the stuff I've learned this morning about hangovers and the effects of alcohol and why you get dehydrated. Take a look at the explanation offered by @31ModelA .

I've lived in five different apartments/townhouses and each landlord for every one of those places had a clause in the rental agreement that stipulated a requirement for renters' insurance. But that was in Ontario Canada so maybe the requirement varies depending upon state or province.

Be sure to check for details with your workplace, or union association or membership with any clubs, etc. Often they will partner up with some insurance companies to give you a good deal. Plus, because of those partnerships, they're more likely to want to maintain good corporate relations, so you have a better hope…

+1 for the artistic license taken (semen) with the Gremlin backstory.

Mine too. I think the first time I saw her break loose in that song, my jaw dropped. She has such an amazing voice.

Hypster. They have a single of this out, called "The Neon Uprising". I believe it's on youtube as well.

The headline on this article is inflammatory because it's entirely accurate. While the suit won't likely affect anyone on this side of the pond, it's good to know which company to avoid in the future. Way to shoot yourself in the foot Motorola.

Just saw that. If you managed to get the original (as I did) you apparently have to uninstall it first. No word in the release about what has changed, or what was updated.

Damn. I could have used Siri about 10 years ago.

Does the solution have to be that black and white? Either full control or none? The government (and by extension, the people who elected it) wants FB to play nicely with their private information. No one wants FB or any other social network to not pursue profit. Just be careful with how they do it. Both of our…

The government stayed out of it from the beginning - and look what happened. FB proved it couldn't be trusted to put the privacy interests of its subscribers ahead of vendors need to market stuff to them. Even here in Canada, the government had to step in and take them to task.

I'd rather take a sort of passive-aggressive approach in the form of a reply:

I've never tried the desktop Opera browser before (though I'd heard about it), just the one on the iPad.
