Meep.
(And hey, Yomiuri has offices in my building. But I'm thinking the chances are slim that they were sent a review model...)
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There are rumors that Apple is going to open a store exactly three blocks from my home.
Unfortunately, it's complete bullshit. Property developers spread these rumors to drum up publicity. It really isn't that great a retail location.

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

I was TV shopping last night at Best Buy, and it looks like I'll probably end up with a Samsung 32" LCD HDTV for about $800, unless I can get it cheaper through another source. It's not as big as I thought it'd be, but at least it'll fit on my current TV stand. I have to finish looking up the various models through my dad's Consumer Reports account, but the Samsung has the highest contrast ratio and all the various plug-in options that I want.

Makes me wonder...how seamlessly can LCDs do this effect? What's their mandatory margin?
I've worked with LCDs for commercial installation with margins down to about half an inch. For large video walls there are special projection style monitors that have about an 1/8th of an inch margin, though in the past few years huge flexible walls of LEDs have been the way to go, I've worked with a few of those than can cover the wall of a room. We had one of them in the Porsche room at the LA Auto Show this year.

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

That sounds purty.

Does anyone have good recommendations for my first digital camera? I'm looking for something I can point-and-shoot, with a decent zoom capability and longlasting battery life with ease of downloading, all for a reasonable (preferably under $200) price.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
I have had 3 Sony Cyber-shots that have met my point-and-shoot needs. I think they can be picked up for less than $200.

DH's Nikon Coolpix takes better pictures than my Sony Cybershot (better focus, much richer colors), but that may be because it's a newer camera and nothing to do with the model.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My iPod Touch says that there are no movies on it...but I just synced it, and my computer says the movie is there...
Anyone else have this issue?
ETA: There was an update, and it totally solved my issue.
