Its 40MB for the free version, which I discovered when I started importing photos of all my old school reports. It notified me I will lose the ability to add or modify notes or notebooks. I'm hoping that's not the case and I can keep adding stuff, but without it synchronising online. - David Adam

i believe you can change the settings on the notebook to not sync'd, and you should be able to add local notes. same thing happened to me at first, and the popup warning message made it sound like i couldn't add anything more until my quota reset. - Trent Olson
"As leaders of the opposition parties, we are well aware that, given the Liberal minority government, you could be asked by the Prime Minister to dissolve the 38th Parliament at any time should the House of Commons fail to support some part of the government’s program. We respectfully point out that the opposition parties, who together constitute a majority in the House, have been in close consultation. We believe that, should a request for dissolution arise this should give you cause, as constitutional practice has determined, to consult the opposition leaders and consider all of your options before exercising your constitutional authority. Your attention to this matter is appreciated." -- signed Gilles Duceppe, Jack Layton and Stephen Harper - Chuck LeDuc Díaz

Here's what's changed in four years: the shoe's on the other foot now. - Chuck LeDuc Díaz

aww. i love people knowing my birthday. but then, i'm a self-absorbed drama queen so that just might explain it. maybe. :) happy (un)birthday! either way. - pea♥ fierce as a woozle
“You know what I've found can be the worst "supportive" thing to say when someone comes out? "I know." It's such a disorienting time and to finally come out to someone after having struggled through the realization (not everyone struggles) to have them be blase about it can really hurt the process.”
not always. it helps some folks know that it didnt really bother the person who says they knew. it should be trivial, lots more people will be happy when its trivial. - Amber aka SDA
Reminds me of a grandmother of a previous g/f... "I know, I know... Have some soup." - Mark VandenBerg
Amber: agreed. What I wish is that if people supposedly know, they would try to approach the person. Sometimes, you can save someone the agony and pain of wondering what they're gonna do and how they're gonna be received, if you tell them you think they're gay. But then again, I'm totally biased on this subject. LOL - g. warbucks
Rodfather, totally. One of my favorite game endings ever; I couldn't stop smiling. - Akiva Moskovitz
@Akiva I just played through it for the first time, too. I am a big fan of the song at the end; I love that the guy who did Code Monkey did the song. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
@Joe I don't think so - but you can buy the song on iTunes, download it for Rock Band gratis, and you can find a bunch of youtube recordings of it as well. - invariant
It's definitely one of my favorite Rock Band tracks. Free download along with Steven Colbert's 'Charlene' - Rodfather
I liked the song at the end...and cake of course. I hope they are working on a sequel. - Mark Krynsky
Mark, they are. They mention it in a very off-hand manner in one of the developer commentaries. - Akiva Moskovitz
ok, weird. i just played Portal for the first time tonite... - Trent Olson
I was even SO CLOSE to the Castro... spent the evening in the Haight. Considered meeting my bro in the Castro for a drink around 11pm but came home instead. Next time, you call me! Or else! 415-279-9245. Seriously. :-) - Lisa L. Seifert
Oh Lisa how sad! I was wondering if we should publiize more on FF but I wimped out - my bad - anna
*psst* Derrick? We should invite Chris W next time, too. I think he feels left out. <end whisper> - Lisa L. Seifert
You guys ALL need to attend the next SF Bacon & Beer Happy Hour!!!!! I'll keep you posted as to when it is. It's usually during the week, though. Be forewarned. - Lisa L. Seifert
I can't wait to meet Anika's darling kids in person. <giggle> - Derrick
hey, next time you're all in Winnipeg...*game on!!!* - Trent Olson
actually, i'd settle for Minneapolis (or, on a good day, St. Paul)...any friendfeeders in the twin cities? - Trent Olson
I grew up just south of the Twin Cities. In Red Wing. :-) I go home every once in a while. :-) - Lisa L. Seifert
And I LOVE Seattle, Rochelle!!! I'm planning a trip for a friend's wedding if they EVER SET THEIR DATE! :-| I'll totally visit you, Akiva and your brand new baby. But only if we can play games! I LOVE that you guys play games together. :-) - Lisa L. Seifert
if i had to pick one right now, it'd be the Mates of State record...nothing else has been stuck in my head like that one... - Trent Olson
I was right: it was pretty clearly too weird an hour. ;-) - Chris Baskind
I'd have to think longer than I have attention span for right now, but Portishead may well be my #1 album of '08 too. - Logical Extremes
Thao Nguyen and the Get Down Stay Down's album...hands down. - Mattie Kenny
I don't think I'm aware of any album released this year that I care about. I usually have an MP3 player connected to an FM transmitter in my car, and my motorcycle's radio died the day after I took it home. Of course, I was using a flash drive connected to the radio's MP3 player. The tunes I have are generally better than the tunes that are made these days. - MiɳiMagɘ (AlwaysMiniMage)
Hot Chip's 'Made in the Dark' for me. I just keep coming back to it. - Martin Bryant
MiniMage - That's a bit insulting and condescending, man. I don't listen to the radio but that doesn't mean I haven't found albums and artists I love and enjoy. I think your laziness in not trying to find music is the culprit, not a lack of good music being produced. - Mattie Kenny
There were TONS of great albums out this year. The new David Byrne & Brian Eno was fantastic. M83, Fleet Foxes, Vampire Weekend, Cut Copy, Silver Jews and The Hold Steady all had great ones too. Portishead also a great call, loved them at Coachella. - Kevin Cuneo
Kevin - I loved every single one of those albums...except Vampire Weekend. I hate Vampire Weekend. haha. - Mattie Kenny
I was more into new music last year than this year. The only one I even remember purchasing was Vampire Weekend. I need to some shoring up, for a bit. - Helen Sventitsky
Mattie, I'm not the only one in this world who feels that more dreck than treasures are produced today. It's no secret that a pretty face and uncovered body is often what's needed to be a hit. Perhaps its more like the record companies are too lazy to provide us with quality musicians. Should I have to listen for five hours just to find one song I like? I have to work rather hard to get the music I want to hear on the radio. - MiɳiMagɘ (AlwaysMiniMage)
"They salvaged books from raids on aristocrats' libraries during the French revolution and hid resistance material during the Nazi occupation. Paris's bouquinistes - the hundreds of booksellers whose open-air stalls along the river Seine carry Unesco world heritage status - have survived four centuries of censorship, floods and political upheaval. But now they are under threat from a new enemy: cheap, plastic Eiffel towers. Bouquinistes' sales have dived as their carefully collected stocks of rare and out-of-print books face competition from online dealers and a change in Parisians' reading and shopping habits. Many now sell tourist trinkets to stay afloat, cramming their stalls with souvenirs. But Paris city hall, alarmed that the garish knick-knacks are damaging Paris's "cultural landscape", has launched a battle to protect the literary soul of the banks of the Seine. Bouquinistes have been invited to crisis talks at the city hall in an attempt to promote more intellectual merchandise. But some warn th" - RAPatton

Trish, you do know that once he has one of these, he's going to ignore the house and everyone in it for three to four days straight. Probably won't shower, shave, or apply deodorant, either. :-) - Ladybug Heather
that, the harmony and my plasma are the top 3 tech purchases of the last 5 years. all three changed my life (not to sound dramatic but to express a significant change in the way i routinely do things). [my macbook comes in a tight 4th.] - Carlos Ayala
The Logitech universal remotes? We have an 880 and like it. The programming software is irritating and there are some really dumb quirks such as the difference between what soft buttons come up when selecting a new activity as opposed to selecting the device directly and the fact that I have to really finesse the remote into the cradle to get it to charge but, other than that, it's the best remote we've owned. - Akiva Moskovitz
Looks cool but you would have to pry my Tivo remote from my cold dead fingers. - Josh Haley
well, if it could feed four kids a well balanced meal three times a day, i'd get one - Trish Haley
Josh, you can control everything you own with almost any of the Harmony remotes. There's a huge database of built-in remote codes and functions plus you can teach it individual buttons with any existing remotes that you have. - Akiva Moskovitz
how many remotes do you have? well with this you will only need one. this is the only true universal remote. its smart enough to identify the hardware in your house by simply pointing another remote at it and it pulling its instruction set. depending on your setup you can even control your interior lights, fans, and garage door. its very powerful and worth every penny. i have the 880. heres a rundown: http://piurl.com/qFy - Carlos Ayala
josh - you wont need that tivo remote anymore. - Carlos Ayala
(*cuddles Harmony 550*) it's ok, little guy, you're all i need...don't be jealous of the 880 owners... - Trent Olson
the good and bad of ff: i get out of sprint so i can haz iphone, and now on to the next conquest... a harmony... keeping up with the ayalases is hard! - Trish Haley
The 880 looks like it would feel better in my hand, but still, at 250 it is just not gonna happen. - Josh Haley
OK, next question for you iPhone users: Get it online or at the Apple store or at an AT&T store? and why? - Josh Haley
You can get an 880 new for $175 at Amazon, I think. As for your other question, there's no benefit to any of it. I'd choose the Apple store over an AT&T store simply because the check-out process at the Apple store doesn't require standing in line. I'm too impatient for online ordering when it comes to stuff like this so I have to buy it in person so I can play with it immediately. - Akiva Moskovitz
ordered online and picked up at Apple store - easy - BEX
you don't know just how funny your saying "i can has bizkit" is to me at this point. perhaps one of the others ladies can explain it to you. Yolanda? - Monique

Seriously Momo, imo, that group embodies all that is wrong. But, I still luh you like a play cousin. - Anna Haro
lol. using my own lines against me! - Monique

so, "i can has bizkit" is making you laugh, but not in the way i intended. hrm, that kinda makes me feel like i'm being laughed *at*...boo - Trent Olson
I don't even know what song you guys are talking about, but I DID see Fred Durst playing a dumb cop in a movie the other day with the new guy that's on Law&Order. He had lost a lot of weight or something. - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
