    - my first appartment in the North End had a bathroom that may have been that small. - Mel - gay for pixie Jan 28, 10:08 3

Drop Haiti's debt petition; -- (link) - Loyola Jan 28, 09:51 21
- How about the usa's debt. -- nm - lileve Jan 28, 10:07 5
  - The US is one of the richest countries in the world. Haiti is one of the poorest. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 10:12 2
    - and 50% of the debt is to the Federal Reserve. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 10:14 1
      - And Haiti has a relatively small debt becase it's a big risk to lend money too. The US debt is comparatively risk free, and therefore huge -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 10:16
  - How about stop spending money on bombs for half a day. -- nm - Loyola Jan 28, 10:11 1
    - because that will be the half day the terrorists attack -- nm - dogbert Jan 28, 10:15
- alot of countries have already done so -- nm - Beaker Jan 28, 09:55
- Just curious...were there any petitions for other coutries to drop some of the US Debt when Katrina hit? - Jim Jan 28, 09:54 12
  - I would hope not, since this is a first world country and Haiti is a third world country crippled by debt. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 09:56 9
    - That also had 15% of ots economy wiped out by four hurricanes in 2008 -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 09:59 8
      - and whose capital was just completely destroyed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 10:00
      - So 3 of the 20 fruit stands got blown away? - Will Hunting Jan 28, 10:00 6

        I've heard it informally referred to as fourth world. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 10:01 4
        
        well, it's an LDC (Least Developed Country), the only one in the Americas. -- (link) - loosilu Jan 28, 10:02
        
        why doesn't anyone talk about us!!! -- nm - second world countries Jan 28, 10:02 2
        
        no one *ever* talks about China. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 10:03
        
        technically, you don't exist anymore :) -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 10:02

The Droid phones at Sprint are HTC Hero, Samsung Moment, and (I think) HTC Touch Pro 2. - JaxSean Jan 28, 09:50 17

  - Looks like the Sprint Hero model, mostly. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 28, 09:57
  - Eris and the Hero are the same phone really -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 28, 09:54
- (Or am I mixing up "Droid" and "Android"?) -- nm - JaxSean Jan 28, 09:51 10
  - Droid is the OS, Android is a particular phone. People confuse them all the time. -- nm - mara Jan 28, 09:52 9
    - switch that. Android is the OS, Droid is the phone -- nm - decline Jan 28, 09:53 7
      - And Droid is going by Milestone in a lot of other places. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 09:58
      - sure, for motorola phones, but for HTC phones, Droid is the OS (short for Android) -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 28, 09:58
      - Why, so it is. See??? -- nm - mara Jan 28, 09:55 4
        
        And what *don't* you like about your phone? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 28, 10:01 3
        
        I'm not typing as fast on the virtual keyboard as I would on the Droid, but I wanted the thinner, lighter phone so I'm happy with the trade-off. -- nm - mara Jan 28, 10:05 1
        
        Thanks -- nm - JaxSean Jan 28, 10:11
        
        Nothing, really, but it's my first real cell phone so I'm easily impressed. -- nm - mara Jan 28, 10:03
    - We meant it to be confusing, boss lady! -- nm - Google Jan 28, 09:53
- I have a touch pro 2, but not through Sprint. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 28, 09:51

- nasty nasty - OAE Jan 28, 10:17

- Tommy Thompson? Really? Why would you name your child that? I never understand that stuff. -- nm - Jim Jan 28, 09:49
Raygun: I also listen to full albums. It's why I'm just fine to have a CD player in my car and no real need for an IPod or anything. - Jim Jan 28, 09:44 3
- I never *wanted* a CD player, but I'm so enjoying the 6-disc changer in the Xterra :) - MojaveMeg Jan 28, 09:53
- This is why I love my commute. 1 hour = 1 CD (usually). -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 28, 09:48 1
  - Mine's like 20-25 minutes. So I can start it on the way to work and finish it on the way home. - Jim Jan 28, 09:50

    - the dog-faced boy. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 09:54
  - He was great as Large Marge. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 28, 09:51

- really? i'm surprised, when i was unemployed my house was super-clean (which it never normally is.) - Andie Jan 28, 09:44 7
  - puttering doesn't make me like cleaning any more than I did before. I mostly do other stuff. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 09:47 6
    - heh, oh, i don't like it either. - Andie Jan 28, 09:59 1
      - I'm an *excellent* avoider. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 10:07
    - also, it doesn't help that I had to bring in a few boxes of stuff from my office. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 09:49 3
      - Oh yes! I hate that - things that are so *right* in an office just have no place in the house. - MojaveMeg Jan 28, 09:51 2
        
        yes, tons. Plus I have to decide whether to get rid of all my award plaques. You know, all the plaques I was collecting while performing poorly. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 09:52
