Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

I'm not sure if I have your cell number, mine is in my profile.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There is an Apple Store on 14th st and 9th ave.

Letter from Apple Regarding iPhone 4

We have discovered the cause of this dramatic drop in bars, and it is both simple and surprising.

Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars. Users observing a drop of several bars when they grip their iPhone in a certain way are most likely in an area with very weak signal strength, but they don’t know it because we are erroneously displaying 4 or 5 bars. Their big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

So, basically, it's not that you're losing signal -- you never had any. Nice spin.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Anybody else ever have to send some crap back to Dish Network? They sent me a box to return their crap, and I thought it was just the DVR and the remotes, but they also want a "switch" which I can't even find, and the LBNF which I can't get off the receiver. Maybe I'm just not pulling hard enough? What's the deal? Surely I'm not the only one who's ever had trouble with this.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I didn't realize, the newer (dunno how new) version of Google Earth, has Mars and Moon views as well. Rather cool!

My old Logitech Harmony remote (670) is wearing out and due to be replaced. Amazon has a good deal on a refurbished 880 [link] - does anyone have this model & is there anything quirky I should know about it?

My 670 is dying too, but I'm holding out for one of these: [link]
