FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

The US really should do away with pennies like many other countries have done. Same for $1 paper notes. I'd be totally fine with the smallest paper note being $5, and $1 and 50¢ coins being widely circulated instead. Heck, a $2 coin would make sense too.

Agree totally.

Posting from Wii is hard. The look on my fiancee's face upon seeing Teh Box on our 32-inch TV was priceless.

I really need to get to the VZW store and take a look at the new smartphones. I want a Windows smartphone with a touch screen and a real keyboard, none of that virtual keyboard crap :-:

I love my HTC Touch Pro 2 (Mine's on Sprint but it's also available on Verizon). I'm running Windows Mobile 6.5 with a cooked ROM that adds a whole bunch of special goodies (stealth teathering, etc.)

They had them running at CLT yesterday morning but I skipped through and used the regular metal detector instead. No one wanted to see me without clothes. :-:

A guy two people ahead of me got sent through the machine 3 times. The second time they sent him back in he turned to the female TSA agent and said "What the heck, lady, are you guys just getting off looking at my massive dong or something?" They didn't find it nearly as funny as he and everyone else standing there in the line did.

There's a very good reason I keep my laptop screen dimmed when at a client and looking at the Box. I probably should invest in one of those 3M laptop privacy filters mostly for this thread.

I used to say that about virtual keyboards although I'm sold on them now. Just takes a little time to retrain the fingers.

As for Windows, why not wait until later this year when the Windows 7 smart phones launch? It's looking like it will be a much better phone OS than the current Windows Mobile.

Go with Android. I like webos a lot, but the pre is dated now...Windows MObile has been dated since 5 years ago :D

You've discovered the hole in the time/space continuum.

Did I ever tell you the story of the friend's bachelor party, the strip bar on Bourbon St., and the drugged-out hooker/stripper with the pile of change telling me it would spend just like real money?

The story sounds vaguely familiar, in the way stories that you heard after way too much wine in La Carafe do... :-:

Kinda how the Trader Joe's in Union Square seems to only carry the non-deodorizing version of the Tom's of Maine deodorant

:D

'Afternoon Box from ROC. Getting ready to head back to EWR, 3 hour layover in the P-club, and then out to PIT. Hope everyone's having a happy hump day (other than the recently fluffed plants).

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 2:35 am.
