Do people really expect to be spending more than 2 hours at a time sitting in Starbucks' surfing the web that this is going to be an issue?
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

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

Some people do. But I'm not one of those people.

Had they had AT&T and free wireless yesterday, I'd have been there all day. Home internet is out right now and I had stuff to do. Ended up at the library instead.

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

I've known a number of people who've written their whole dissertations/books in coffee shops, or use them to be out of the house while freelancing. Of course, they're smart people who seek out the places with actual free wireless, but the time spent is totally plausible.

Hmmm. Daniel. Say I succeed in removing the HD without frying myself, then what happens?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am not those people, Jessica, but I do know them offboard.
I like my own stuff too much.

ita, do you mean you like your own servers (and chairs and surroundings) vs Starbucks?
because the first thought (and this could be thx to the 365 photos I vacationed in about 30 minutes ago in order to keep from jumping out a window... esp the shot w/Noah) was - yeah, we like ita's stuff too: photos, programming skils...

The status is NOT quo.
Just got an email from my dad and am seeking advice:
I still haven't used the BestBuy certificate that you and Drew gave me and am thinking of getting a new cell phone. I hate the one I have prinmarily becase I keep hitting a button on the side of it when I go to open it. That results in muted sounds and volume changes and drives me nuts. The other reason is that Virgin Mobile does not have as good reception as other companies - which I discovered in the mountains when I was out there. Virgin Mobile doesn't have any contracts, so I think I can switch to anything... suggestions? It doesn't have to be fancy since I rarely use the camera on the one I have and the only person who sends me a text message is sister Kathe. I think I am signed up for 600 minutes now, but I don't use all of them because minutes are free after 7:00... a Catch-22 situation since 300 minutes didn't give me any free minutes. So, if you have any thoughts, let me know.
Things to know: he is very serious about not wanting something fancy. An iPhone would horrify him. Also, like he says, he talks somewhere around 300 minutes a month, and he is a complete and utter cheapskate.
Suggestions?
