I don't know, both the topic subtitle and original post say "received", not "shipped." Looks like sometime in the next few days depending on location and weekend deliveries.

I'm pretty sure they do use that phrase in the advertisement somewhere. Now I'm left trying to figure out why I know this crap when I watch less than 3 hours of TV a week.

HD Wraparounds, the sharpest looking glasses around. And by the way, Firefox crashed at their site when I was double checking. Thanks a lot. ;-)

WhiteBat used to run the photobucket page but had to stop for some reason in mid March. Then Mali kind of took over with the Photobucket Help Thread. Haven't seen Mali in a few weeks though and the help thread has fallen off the front page so fewer people think to add links to the new photos.

Yay! We're doomed.

Looks like Perspective Distortion.

Ha! I've been known to use both, but mostly use "grey". Mali seems to suggest that is the British (Oxford) spelling?

Is it bad that I don't know which is which?

Ah, something along these lines then? Although you'd probably want the paint covering everything except the letters so you don't get light spillage between the keypad and case.

I'm also curious how this would work. I'm no expert, but based on these two images (Board & Keymat) I would guess the button cross section would look something like this: So, if I'm right, where do the LEDs/lightpipes go and, if I'm wrong, how is the keypad set up and does that aid or hinder...

Ha! Mine's made in Mexico (also a Dell).

This looks far more interesting to me than the two pages after it. ;-) How'd that work out for you Pickle? Easy to set up, transfer any files, etc., etc.?

Hmm, stalk much? ;)

Was looking through old videos for the "killing is not nice, but it works" quote and may have found at least one source of this particular confusion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD6gytB1iw8#t=1m36s We'll have to get ED to tell us which is the right spelling, but I believe four Ls is the...

Maybe there is a translational difference, but I could have sworn the quote was "No disassemble" as is "No disassemble Stephanie, no disassemble Number Five"

My Quantum Mechanics book in college had a cat sitting up on the front cover and a dead cat on the back cover. We used to come in put our books on the table either normally or upside down depending on our mood and whether it was a "alive cat" day or "dead cat" day. Homework due dates were...

12 fl oz = 355mL here in the US. I seem to remember picking up a 333mL can of diet sprite in Germany some 8-9 years ago. I actually still have it in a box at my parent's house. How weird is that?.

Thanks for the detailed heads up on the OS ED. Sets the expectations pretty well.

Yes, I already noted it was pedantic and didn't add much to the discussion. Most dictionaries include non-standard words and definitions so I'm less than surprised. However, all dictionaries I've seen say an acronym is a abbreviation that makes a word whereas an initialism is simply an...

"Acronym Pronunciation" If you ask me, if it's an acronym, you say it as a word not letters. An acronym is by definition an abbreviation composed of the first letter(s) of words in a phrase that form a pronounceable word. An abbreviation using the first letters in words in a phrase which does...
