What hardware do you use the most?

Bow to your Queen!

(note to Neckarb, that's how you do that)

Yep, that's valid.

I could, but I was thinking I could take the high ground like a true Englishmen should

Sometimes it's well deserved and trust me, Oldsmoboat can take it...

Probably my work laptop, but my home laptop gets used almost as much.

I wonder if some quality of the wood could be determined by that squeal? Perhaps even the kind of wood.

Definently, harder wood or softer woods make different kinds of noises (pine makes very little noise until it cracks).

It also depends on what kind of screw you are using (drilling screws make no squeking noises) and if you pre drilled the hole.

Cool, we don't have Droids over here they are called something else, look good to me though.

Droid is not a particular phone or even phones from a particular manufacturer, but a carrier's brand (Verizon).

When Danger made the HipTop, T-Mobile sold it as the "T-Mobile Sidekick." When Danger made the Hiptop 2, T-Mobile already had Sidekicks made from other manufacturers (Sharp, Motorola). Most recently Danger (now owned by MS) made the Kin One and Kin Two. Similarly, Motorola made the Droid (GSM version = Milestone) but HTC launched "Droid" branded phones too (HTC Droid Eris = CDMA version of HTC Hero). Motorola made the DroidX (Motoroi X) and the Droid 2 (GSM = Milestone 2). The main difference is that Verizon allowed them to maintain their manufacturer's identity with the carrier's branded line of phones. I'm sure Danger's fate influenced negotiations!

OH Ok, I thought it was the Motorola Droid....

OH Ok, I thought it was the Motorola Droid....

The people here are even more confused... they think that any Android phone is "a Droid." Oh, and I forgot the HTC Droid Incredible.

I hadn't noticed this was a neckarb thread. FYI for the Limies: A doorknob is a round more or less mushroom shaped protrusion that is mounted on a door that facilitates the opening of a door. With a doorknob in place one need not any longer pull at the door trim in attempt to open the door. Kind of like a handle specifically designed to open a door. Doorknobs are most commonly made of metal but sometimes made of glass, porcelain or even wood.

I have no idea why you are explaining this to us English people, as we know what doorknobs are, we have them... you know, on our doors.

Must be a new development then. Way back in the 90s when I visited your island many doors, particularly entry doors, sported a variety of pulls but lacked knobs.

You must have visited a very strange obscure part of England, we've had doorknobs since I was born, I'm 22.

I dunno, I think of Droid as a particular phone.
"Droid" is a brand, sure, but it's also a particular phone. You know, the Droid.
If you have a Droid X, Droid Eris, Droid Incredible, etc etc... you should say so.
See, if I have to say I have the Motorola Droid original, just to get across the exact phone I have, I'm going to be annoyed. Because if Droid is enough of a distinguisher for the layman, and people are looking for specifics, even saying Moto Droid wouldn't be enough, since Motorola has 3 Droid-brand phones at the moment (iirc).
"Which phone do you have?"
"The Droid."
"Ah, which one?"
"The Motorola Droid."
"So, which one?"
"uh... the Droid... original?..."
"Ah, I see. Cool."



Also, not all Verizon's Android phones are "Droid". One might say it's their top of the line Android line, but that wouldn't be true - I don't even think the upcoming LG dual-core LTE Android phone will have a Droid-whatever name, but they might surprise me.
Verizon hasn't been consistent with which phones do or do not receive the Droid moniker.

Well, they are in buildings older than your nation so i suppose we should really know what a doorknob is, shouldn't we?

However, we discovered that door handles are better, requires less effort on the mechanism and last far longer. One day we'll teach our colonies about them, this is not that day.
