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

Yes, it is true that the interface for Handbrake can be complex, but once you get it all worked out it works like a charm. I set mine up to rip for Apple TV2 in the presets since that and my iPad are the main devices I watch things on.

That's why I love kindle library books too! I used to love just a couple blocks away so it was no problem but now I live a mile away and walking there seems like such trouble.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I set mine up to rip for Apple TV2 in the presets since that and my iPad are the main devices I watch things on.

I might end up with a couple of questions for you because that is really clearly what I use to watch as well. Except that my trial run seems to be totally fine. Thanks!

That's why I love kindle library books too!

Between that and my ability to read the same book in a ton of locations and have it synch? It's really nice. I can read multiple books in multiple places.

Forget rocket cars, this is one of the futures I wanted growing up.

If there was a transporter, I'd be happy.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'm giving up. Google Sites hates me. I can't get it to recognize an html file, and I'm tired of creating folders and uploading, then moving.

I'm doing limited amounts of screencapping again. Does anyone know of any good free hosting that doesn't suck?

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

I am finding SlideIt incredibly counterintuitive. I don't know what rules Swype follows in order to decide when a space is warranted, but the current SlideIt settings keep putting them in URLs. I'm also going to have to look up how to not capitalise the first letter of a sentence or a field on an ad hoc basis, as well as how to capitalise the second as well as the first.

Never mind the algorithm for decoding my trace coming up dry from time to time. What's that about? Swype almost never doesn't get my word, even if it's the tenth suggestion. It has never offered me nothing.

Grrrr.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, Swype is better. I picked up SlideIt when it was free, but Swype is definitely better. However, I still have the thing where it's all in Spanish and I don't know why. I mean, I reset the actual language bit that had gotten set, so it's stopped suggesting Spanish words, but it still wants me to push Sin and wants to know if I want to agregar my new word into the diccionario.

And I still couldn't do without my physical keyboard.

And your phone's actual language is English? Well, I'm sure you'd have noticed if it weren't.

I'm irritated that Android seems to think my language and my location are related. There are plenty of countries that don't have their own language designation--and I think I should have the freedom to act all UK English wherever I am, without it affecting my shopping preferences in any way.

At least with Swype the dictionary and the keyboard can be separated. but I have no idea how to help you out, Liese.

I'm doing decently well without a physical keyboard on the Nexus, considering I don't have Swype yet. But I am going to re-jigger that. And tappy keyboards are just not a viable option for me at this form factor.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I'm geek enough I feel like I should be able to work it out, but no luck. It happened during an update, I think. I mean, it's not really a problem, in that, I can read enough Spanish to navigate out of it, but it's still odd.

Hey, do any of you have the Verizon iPhone plan? Now that I've left my company, am thinking of switching to Verizon specifically due to much better coverage at my residence (I will be working out of my home office now) but I don't know about going back to CDMA. I'd love to hear firsthand reports.
