I would consider moving away from wherever company that will be releasing/distributing DNF is located. Because we just know, that just when they are about to release it, a meteor or aliens or Godzilla will attack that area and destroy everything in vicinity, preventing it from being released.

We are not located at the center of the universe. Which means that if universe is expanding with at least speed of light, we would not be able to see at least the half of the universe that is expanding to the other side from the center. Now, how does it approach 250+ times bigger? More beer and some additional funding will surely find an answer.

This was a great tool for calling businesses while driving, Google would even text the matching result if I wanted a record on my phone. I think I would even be willing to pay a small monthly/per-use fee for this service, as long as it's under $2/call current AT&T directory assistance rip-off.
