Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Basically, I would get the Google Voice number, and give that to clients, but I would also need to send the new number out to friends and family?

Yes.

If people called my regular cell number instead of the GV number, I wouldn't be able to utilize the GV features? Am I reading the info right?

For voicemail and its associated features, the answer is maybe. Depends on your cell carrier. Some allow you to divert your voicemail to another service (i.e. GV). For other features, the answer is yes, they'd need to call the GV #.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Why do I always read the comments on things like that?

54% of PC users are more likely to read the comments and regret it. (83% of Mac users prefer hummus.)

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

Mmmmm, hummus.

Hey. New board.

I did just have some hummus. I also want to build my own computer for my next computer. And run Mac OS X on it (Hackintosh ahoy!). And Linux. And Windows. Where Do I Belong?????

"Oh, you wanna play?"
"You are not seriously trying to backhack me!"
"Have fun getting out of the wormhole."

So much fun!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Pretty keyboard: [link]

It looks like a mirror.

It's currently available only in a Japanese variant and only works with Windows computer, but will be released with an English, German, French and Italian layout later this summer. A Mac-compatible version will be available as well.

The price for a Cool Leaf keyboard that looks like it's from the future? About $318 (¥26,000). Vanity has its price doesn't it? It'll be on sale in Japan on May 13.
