Anyone know if it is at least 8 bit now?

I was expecting something along the lines of "A Rorschach Cheat Sheet: Literary Allusions in Watchmen" (or something). Interesting nonetheless. Do optometrists get upset with the c…

I was actually immediately reminded of the Onion article : http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28694

It's actually hard to avoid them no matter what you buy.

I have to agree with the "equally shitty to use" statement. One of the other problems is that it is hard to get the features you want in a phone that you want. It's along the lines…

If no one worked for/hired them, it would raise the cost. Of course, you would have to tell them why you made the decision you did. I think a lot of assholes don't know that they a…

In theory it does. And for simple things, it works great. I often find (and like the author, I assume this is because of my poor CSS skills) that I end up putting a div in a div in…

Not really connected to programming, but: I used to always grab 3 quarters, 2 dimes, a nickel and 4 pennies. That and the M&M thing...
