    There should be

    But a Razr still isn't water proof or one-handed. I am just constantly dissappointed by the phones available. NOTHING grabs me. Am I the only one that DOESN'T want a feature heavy music/camera/web/messaging/digital assistant/oh_yeah_and_a_kinda_ok_phone combo?

    Back in the late 90s I doodled a design for a spring loaded, deco, cell phone. Concept was retro futuristic looks in rounded aircraft aluminum, one handed operation and truly water proof, drop proof when closed. I wanted the aluminum shell to actually gain character rather than just break-...

    How 'vintage' is your name?

    Honorable ruler, 70s- 91, 80s- 89... Looks like my parents were a bit ahead of the bell curve, but not much. Hmm...changed the spelling and it JUMPED up the charts, though. In the top 100 since 1950, climbed as high as 14 in the 70s with the FRENCH spelling.

    Big Business sinks lower and lower

    Sorry, Senator. My point was more specific than that. An inusrance company PAYS an annuity out until death, so there is a profit motive for the annuitant to expire early. Exactly the same as the death bond. A comany has a profi motive for their retired employees to expire early limiting...

    US Wings garment quality

    A note on ordering from U.S. Wings. There sizes aren't consistent across different jacket styles and the chart on their web site is misleading. I called them and they knew their stock very well and pointed me toward the right jacket.

    Big Business sinks lower and lower

    I don't see the issue. Disaster bonds, the entire insurance business, death pools- all the same. Guess what, people die. It's not magical or mysterious, it's mundane. Not trolling, I just don't see the issue. There is nothing unethical or illegal. Consumers and investors are making...

    I laughed. And probably for the wrong reason. But look at your avatar and read that again! ;) "Daddy, when's Uncle Luci-fop going to visit again? He promised me a cravat..." Not meaning to cross any lines, all in good fun!

    Getting fired 101

    In an attempt to bring this thread back to the specific, rather than the general 'state of the youth' rant, let me say Ms. Trunk really stuck in my craw. I found myself complaining to my wife about her. From volleyball coach to marketing director of a software firm during the great boom of...

    Well, I am not a purist. I have been happy with Bill's khakis for the 90% replicas, and for $80US, i was pleased with my Indy goat skin. Although, I will be treating it to darken and gloss it up a bit. Yes, you will get what you pay for, but it all depends on what your 'tolerances' are...
