  1. BlackBerry Storm. It is quad band.
  2. So, I call VZW to make sure my phone is going to work in Europe (the sales person told me she wasn't sure how to set it up). The guy tells me I have to call before I leave to have them update my account to be global, and then call when I get back so it will work in the US again. I asked WTF? Your adverts say I can go from sydney to tokyo to chicago and won't notice. He says that this is how it works, have to call. My old BB 8830 World didn't require this. Anyone work for VZW that can tell me if this guy is a moron?
  3. They are flour beetles. My wife had this bag of all bran flour we used once, they had taken over the box. All flour comes with beetle larva in it, just we cook it out. If you don't use the flour for a long time, and keep it in a warm place, the beetles will hatch. They are about 2mm long and are dark brown/black in color as adults. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flour_beetle We are putting down that home defense stuff, but mostly he said just clean up their food source.
  4. Yes, people put their own headphones in and complain about crackling and Apple has to have their techs look at it. That costs apple money. Thus, must be impedance matched.
  5. I had these little bugs in my kitchen. They started getting worse and worse, so I called Orkin to come tell me what they are. Keith showed up and identified them, said there was no treatment necessary and left without selling me anything. The guy that set the appointment was pushy but this guy was awesome and honest. Call him if you need pest control. 614.846.4729
  6. By controlling the hardware they have been able to keep their stuff functioning at a very high level for a very long time. MS tries to run on anything, and they don't do a very good job at it. Tight controls mean the products work very well.
  7. I have one. It takes some getting used to as far as typing goes. Also, the OS is very very slow. I hope they have a new release of SW soon.
  8. Yeah, I question the logic of the first glass. "95% eh, well pour me a glass and lets get it on"
  9. 219-253-2323, cracked my friend up when they called me at lunch.
  10. Good for you man. BTW, if someone hands you your wallet with all the money in it. You give them all the money. It is such a pain to get credit cards and DL replaced. Cash is easy.
  11. Because he's ChairForce, and he's got missles and bombs and shit. fixed it. Submarines, because there are a hell of a lot more planes at the bottom of the ocean than there are submarines in the sky.
  12. I built, i now have EXACTLY the house I wanted. Prior to this I bought (two) and always thought people skimped on things they shouldn't have. On this house I put all my budget into square-footage and garage. I bought the minimums on fixtures, and will upgrade as I can afford it.
  13. They kept calling me, until I selected to talk to them. "Please extend the warranty on my vehicle." "Sure, what year is it?" "1970 VW Beetle, man am I glad you guys called" "Sir, you don't have a vehicle that is newer than that?" "Nope, but you called me so you gotta honor your statement" "um. CLICK" "Hello? Hello?" I guess they don't want my business.
  14. That's what you get for voting, puts you on the registry.
  15. I spent a fair amount of time traveling around giving classes. Now I set the strategy. So, I guess I am in charge of some kind of hype.
  16. I am the Director of World Wide Technical Enablement for a Silicon Valley tech company called Blue Coat Systems, INC. Basically, I ensure our technical stakeholders understand our technologies and I implement strategy to get them back on course should they fall off of it.
  17. I am working in Auckland (I wish I did all this travel for vacation) so I don't have the chance to drive anywhere.
  18. When my dog was a puppy we left him "out" one day while we ran to the store. He had to pee. We came home and he had jumped into the bathtub and peed and jumped out.
  19. Akula

    Reverse Auction

    http://www.mycapturesystem.com/revaucnow-a um, huh? Scam?
  20. Anyone have some "must do" places for this list? Seems like I am never on the ground anymore. Anyway, I am going to paris for 3 days, Munich for 2 and Auckland for a week (that will wrap up march for me).
  21. I saw one of these types of stem cell regenerations on "the miracle" or whatever that show was called. good stuff.
  22. I figure you owe me $450.
  23. Gahanna Animal Hospital, they will behonest and charge you what it is worth. TPLO is like a bone graft reconstruction thing. Takes a very specialized surgeon to do it and costs around $2000.
  24. nylon strap thing, that is a lateral suture. should be around $700. Gahanna Animal Hospital.
  25. If there are any good restaurants, they are in Atlantis. BTW, it is a very interesting hotel, but it is a hotel. Go to the straw market, or get crazy and get lost (plan on being mugged if you do this). The cruise will have stuff you can do.
