    I see things like this often in my state. For example: http://www.mlive.com/news/saginaw/index.ssf/2014/02/14-year-old_lil_carl_howard_se.html
    It's still pretty controversial as to whether or not that should stick in this link, but what kind of society do we live in now that a pocketknife can get you brought up on felonies and 14 year olds are charged as adults?

    I live in a very rural area myself. Small town. In high school one of my history teachers was once attempting to open a package that had the plastic seal on it. After a second of struggling he looks out to the class, says 'does anyone have a pocketknife?' 'right here!' the teacher grabs the knife, opens it, uses it, closes it, and hands it back. 'Thanks!', pauses for a minute, then says to the class, 'I guess it's a good thing that no one had a pocketknife, right?'

    @scottalanmiller Sean sent me a note, and it was appreciated. Not really much after that.

    Yeah, he sent me a note too.

    Would they look a little and feel a lot different on a touchscreen device? Yes. But for initial stages that would be awesome.

    What benefit do you see to Android on a non-handheld device? It's a handheld focused OS. It's purpose is mobility. Putting it on a desktop just seems like a horrible desktop experience. What's the draw?

    I tried other things with high hopes but returned to the iPhone.

    I, too, am anxiously awaiting the return to iPhone. June is coming soon...
    I like Android, don't get me wrong. But I liked my iPhone better.

    Very interesting write-up. Being truly and brutally honest with ourselves is just about one of the hardest things to do in life.

    You would have thought. Mobile and RT could easily have been one and the same. They are for iOS and Android!

    I was reading about the large amount of turnover lately in the desktop area in MS and these things be split was one of them. I hope this means we'll see them get on a better path.

    Her Japanese is teeeeeeeeeeeerrible. Nothing like what an actual speaker would sound like.
    I'm usually able to pick out various languages based on the sounds of the words, but when someone is speaking random gibberish, it's not near as discernible, so I'd say this isn't exactly accurate.

    First time I took it I was ESFP. Second time it was ENFP.

    ENFP. Extraversion - 77%, Intuition - 14%, Feeling - 72%, Prospecting - 24%.

    Not sure what changed but I actually feel that round two was a little more accurate although at only 14% for N it could probably swing either way...

    @ajstringham All they do is charge you $.01 and then refund it, just to make sure you card is valid. You can cancel auto-renew within minutes of signing up and you will still get a free trial for 30 days

    I had done the trial. I cancelled before the 30 days was up.

    Then I learned that here in Our country we still using Odd English words.

    and back on topic....I've reported to ICS, should I wait to hear from someone or see if I can get in touch with someone locally to him? or should I e-terrorize him?

    Don't terrorize him, that turns the tables and potentially makes you the bad guy... especially if you got the wrong person or something or couldn't prove the original crime. That takes on risk that you want nothing to do with.

    I would leave this to the authorities, there is little positive that you can do other than turning him over and maybe gathering more data to help the authorities. Whatever you do, remain passive in your efforts.

    I really enjoyed the Battlestar. Galactica, so recently I spent two weeks the entire original series.... Wow was Galactica 1980 was just awful.

    LOL, yeah it was. I loved that show as a kid. @dominica and I watched all of the old ones maybe five or six years ago straight through. Classic, but awful.
