Pick up the phone. Ask them who they're calling from, have them spell your name specifically, state you "do not recall" such alleged debt. If you can, record the call. ("It's for my own records" if they ask.) Don't ever give them ANY information. If they insist on collection, ask them to send you a physical claim. If such arrives, find a defect and tell them about it when they call back. (unless, of course, they have an actually-toll-free number, which they have to pay for.)

Oh, and always, ALWAYS make them repeat themselves. Repeat yourself ad-naueum, as well.

Just don't make any false statements, or agree to the validity of any debt you are not willing to pay.

(Honestly, though, I'd expect a scam to drop at "I'm recording this call, and your name is?")

You seem to have confused "down" with "off."

Quickoffice was a document-editing program way back in the PalmOS days, and it was the only major player to make a WebOS version.

Quickoffice does not require Google Docs to work. Although it does have some features which are counter-intuitive and don't work depending on the view you're in.

> 3) Its battery life is pathetic, so it makes up for it with a mediocre ICE to charge with. Wake me when it has a range near 1000 miles, which is what a setup like this should be sporting.

This is a serial electric hybrid. You are evaluating a metric that only really matters for an all-electric car.

A Volt (or any other car with a gasoline engine) can make a journey of 1,000 miles significantly faster than any car tesla makes. They can also be rescued if energy runs out with a common plastic container, instead of a tow truck.

An electric car is an excellent choice if your daily commute and fiscal budget allow it. (I know people whose daily commute is well over 100 miles each way.). But they are simply not the same category as hybrid cars, be those hybrids serial or parallel.

(And, yes, I know that the Volt's engine and likely the ESR have a physical connection to the drivetrain that is used at certain highway speeds. That makes it a semi-paralel hybrid, not an electric car.)

I actually laughed out loud at that.

So you were doing "web development" on what? Lynx?... Mosaic?... Gopher perchance?

I think you're either replying to the wrong person, or you have severe reading comprehension issues.

Well I'm not paranoid. I give my trust to those who deserve it and Canonical definitely do not.

I trust them more than Canonical, that's for sure.

I mean, seriously, paralyzed people would probably be bad candidates for teaching anyone anyth...

OHHHHH. Those kinds of pupils!

I'm unfamiliar with the "Queen's duck" gambit and the Google search results are woefully unhelpful. Citation, perhaps?

Making a zip gun from plastic tubing is, however. And that's what a 3-d printed gun barrel is.

Stupid lack of sarcasm font. Of coursesolar output has an effect.

As in Fallen Angels, where anthropogenic global warming was the only thing preventing the onset of a new global Ice Age.

I was actually going to post something incredibly close to this. The causal link just isn't there, as far as I can tell. It could very well be that the glaciers melt/freeze due to slight shifts in the poles' positions and variations in the Sun's output.
