Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I have a Samsung laser and I'm quite happy with it except that it's a little picky about paper. It doesn't want to feed some thicker papers without a lot of persuasion. I got it for about $50 on one of the online sales, so I'm not complaining.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't find a google gchat client for Android. I mean, one by google. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, why doesn't the Tab dictionary have android in it? It's missing some weird stuff. Why have Julio and not Julie?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...a google gchat client for Android. I mean, one by google.

Has anyone here rented a cellphone or bought a disposal cell phone for use abroad? If so, what company did you use and would you recommend them?

I use Verizon Wireless, and I have read some crazy things about roaming charges with Verizon if you take your phone abroad, so I am wary about doing that.
