Burning Questions Du Jour

[tamaranth]

1. has nobody ever developed a mobile phone that incorporates a personal alarm?
1a. Why?

2. Does anyone have a copy of Stellar Alchemy, by Michel Casse? I was proofing the e-book today and it's gloriously poetic (at least, the first 250 words of each chapter are gloriously poetic) perhaps because translated from the French. Atoms in stars speak to atoms in eyes using the language of light. (Beats Jean-Paul Sartre hands down.)

3. Is there actually any culture on Fuerteventura? My guidebook is curiously evasive on the subject. (Not that I care, as 29^o, sunny, beaches, books ...)

4. Why does ozymandias_cat keep shutting himself in the bathroom? Is it an emo thing?

5. Just how many different types of mini-USB are there? (I count at least 3: MP3 player, camera, phone).
5a. Why?

I only know of two mini-USB connectors - but there's also micro-USB.

I suspect you'll see more and more micro-USB around the place, as it's now the charging standard for smartphones and PDAs. It's also rated for far more connect/disconnects.

Did the Internet Explorer thing work?

ha, did not split hair make technical distinction between mini and micro ...

The IE thing worked brilliantly, and my tendons thank you!

5. My work phone and my mobile each have a different mini-USB.
5a. They can make money selling cables!

Just because Oz is a big cat it doesn't mean that he doesn't have feelings. Or maybe it's a grooming thing.
