How about "No Tethering" for access to the internets from your PC?

That's the biggest reason for me not to like it... it doesn't support my mobile lifestyle on the lam!

Yes, but Will it Blend?

I submitted a story about using BoingBoing at the Denver Airport on Monday while I was at the Denver Airport(!).

It wasn't too hard to find out how if you looked around enough, but thanks to the hard work of someone against censorware, it was simple!

Of course, my story was rejected as usual.

Anyhow, I had found an enterprising person who created a set of proxies to help people get their BoingBoing on...
http://boingboing.hexten.net

I was even able to submit the story using this proxy!

I also noticed that you could read the RSS feed without pictures using a feedreader there.

DEN also blocks common mobile proxies like www.skweezer.net

Doesn't "perfidious" mean disloyal? Is the shape disloyal to the usually squared-off edges of the MacBook / PowerBook line or is it disloyal to your expectations?

Other than that, I agree...

Film, not file... ugh.

I always think of the file "Toast" that I saw in High School a long time ago when I hear about stories like this.

It was very effective.

That's funny... the first thing I thought of for this was to use it for mate preparation. I found a place that does nice stemless, sustainable harvest mate and the leaves are pretty big, but it still seems that the holes in this might be a touch too big for mate fines that creep through...

But there's always loose tea for it!

I'm glad AYB made it though. That's a true classic.

Don't forget to wind you own speaker wire from the CAT 5 cable you're keeping around the house. It'll only take you a zillion years!

I'm a switch hitter. I have to go back and forth. I still type QWERTY (I guess you could call that the Sholes layout) faster than Dvorak. But I did a double whammy:
I took an ergonomic keyboard and pasted the Dvorak letters over it so I could double my RSI / Carpal Tunnel relief.

I work in software, so here's the problem (aside from nobody can ever log into their web mail account because they can't friggin look at the keyboard and figure it out):
Acronyms and computer terms are NOT English words.

Words like "through", "though", "mother", "than" etc. are all very easy to type in Dvorak. Acronyms, company names like "Zyberteknica" are just as awkward to type on Dvorak as they are in QWERTY.

So, I bet an English major would have a great time with Dvorak, but IM'ing, writing whitepapers, PowerPoint etc. are all screwy.

Also: your typos are totally unrecognizable by QWERTY users. IM conversations become unintelligible because abbreviations like ZOMFG!!! Turn into :OMFG!!! which people think is a bizarre smiley.

Keyboard shortcuts are useless in Dvorak. Go back to your OS/2 days and remember Ctrl-Ins, Shift-Ins, Ctrl-Del etc. Those are much faster for copy / paste etc.

Overall, I like Dvorak, but keep up the QWERTY. What I've noticed is that a long day of typing is a long day of typing. Switching layouts, like changing shoes for tired feet, is helpful for wrist and forearm pain because you change up the muscle groups.

The biggest annoyance about switching is that Vista, XP, etc. all switch based per-app (unless you permanently change to Dvorak). So, you need to get used to some hotkeys and just hit them all the time. You will run into problems with VNC and Terminal Services connections. Be very careful about password policies that lock you out after too many attempts... often your keyboard layout is the culprit.

Before you decide to do anything, you should definitely call 1-800-MOPS-KEY for all your comparative mop shopping needs. Stephen Colbert was plugging them because they were sharing the atonement hotline number for the high holy days. But since we're out of the high holy days, I'm sure you can just get patched straight through to a mop expert! ;)

I still want an iLooj though...

Good luck. Maybe this is all because you posted those Roomba deals today and yours feel jealous that you're looking at newer, sexier models.

You can still buy these... I saw them in Orchard Supply Hardware in Berkeley. Awesome!

I saw it in San Francisco when it got rewritten. It's really a funny look at mega corporation's plans for Moab Utah!

Oh great... what's next? Caturday Night Fever?

I wonder what IT thinks about clicking on that domain name up there?

Heh...
