Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

And of course I was feeling all of this pressure since they had run out last time.

Yup. There's only so many DC numbers, and it's one of the iconic area codes. Good for the job search since it doesn't force a choice between MD and VA. Even if I end up moving completely out of the area, it seems less regional than a 301 or 703 phone number.

I've had good success with Samsung Lasers. I still have a very old ML-1710 that's a tank and all I had to do to install it in Windows 7 was plug in the USB cable.

I also have a Samsung multifunction duplex network printer that I'm not as happy with because the automatic document feeder for the scanner/fax is finicky. Like it as a printer though, especially for the duplexing.

I have a Samsung laser and I'm quite happy with it except that it's a little picky about paper. It doesn't want to feed some thicker papers without a lot of persuasion. I got it for about $50 on one of the online sales, so I'm not complaining.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't find a google gchat client for Android. I mean, one by google. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, why doesn't the Tab dictionary have android in it? It's missing some weird stuff. Why have Julio and not Julie?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...a google gchat client for Android. I mean, one by google.

It's called Talk.

Has anyone here rented a cellphone or bought a disposal cell phone for use abroad? If so, what company did you use and would you recommend them?

Where abroad?
