Commented on Android Calling Card: slash your long-distance bills without having to dial a zillion numbers
#16, Bugs, Yes, for mobile, if we go over the allotment we choose/pay-for, we get billed regardless of the direction. Our phones are often locked to work with that carrier only, but most carriers will unlock it if you ask...
Commented on Android Calling Card: slash your long-distance bills without having to dial a zillion numbers
#11, Bugs: In the US, telephony is pretty different than most places. On land lines, we pay a flat rate for local calls. N bucks gets you unlimited calls to anyone in the local calling area, which is usually the...
Commented on Android Calling Card: slash your long-distance bills without having to dial a zillion numbers
Allow me to *shamelessly* plug my own app, which aims to nix the overage charges so many of us are sucker-punched with, just for exceeding one's paid minutes. "TimeCop" watches your trend of calls to make predictions, and if you...

Commented on Web site to tilt-shift your photos
#11, "fake" in that it looks like someone took an image where everything was in focus, then drew a line across it where things are not in focus. In tilt-shift, everything that is parallel to the film plane is in...

Commented on The Logitech Mice That Weren't
#17, Google "Gorilla Arm". About ten years ago, I bought a box full of the PS/2, wide-teardrop-shaped body, three-equisized-button Logitech MouseMan mice. I'm down to only 4 in reserve, but damn, I love these mice. I'm a Unix/Linux user (since...

Commented on Against Ben Stein's wishes, lizards rapidly evolve after introduction to island
What's with all the creationist ma-roons here today? You're woefully misinformed if you think: - "Darwinism" is the same as evolution. - that evolution takes any position on abiogenesis. - that "species" is anything but a mental box we put...

@Arkizzle: Lol. Sorry I probably shouldn't have opened that Pandora's Box, although I doubt I'm the only one thinking that. I guess we can try and close the lid and hope nothing comes out through the crack... Anyway, I think the discussion's moved on, and most of the "regulars" are kinda fading into the background. One opinion I have is that by banning Takuan, the Boingers are laying their community down on the ground, putting a pistol to its head, and pulling the trigger. All that will remain will be the twitching of a slowly cooling corpse. Well, that's melodramatic,...

buddy66 commented on Untitled 1
"Banish plump Jack and banish all the world." I've enjoyed y'all's company the past couple of years and have had a thousand laughs. BB was a bright spot in a dark time and I am properly grateful. I rarely added to this thread, although I engaged in some spirited exchanges elsewhere, and I always checked it out as a sort of bulletin board. I will continue to check in and lurk about on occasion but have decided to otherwise end my participation in BB's community. This business with Takuan is too much for me... It's time to transfer out of...

Damn Buddy, sad to see you go. You added a fine, true tone to the noise. Hope you'll drop back when it suits. You'll be missed....
ridl commented on Untitled 1
you know there's something about it all that no one talks about, or at least I haven't spent that much time mulling over, and that is that even if we fail even if the species dies and the planet is set back hundreds of millions of generations and all the languages are lost we can't fail we can't be lost and it's just not true because our timeline is one of infinite and somewhere we make it somewhere some iteration of me and you and everyone every decision I make somewhere I make the decision that I would make if...
