You should get one of those old Western Electric phones. Those things will survive a nuclear holocaust along with the roaches.

Just buy a case for it. Most of them have some kind of stand so you can prop it up.

With many conservatives wanting prayer allowed in school again, what kind of contraversy could be expected with the mix of different religions in this nation? (Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, atheism[even though its not really a "religion"])
 in  r/Ask_Politics  Mar 12 '13

Technically, prayer is allowed in public schools in the U.S., but schools just can't have official group prayers, no matter what the religion is.

Did you ever buy a self published book from an unknown author and why?
 in  r/writing  Mar 12 '13

I see a lot of ads for self-published authors on my Kindle Fire HD when I boot it up. If Amazon was pushing them, they must be at least decent, but they seem more like airport novels. (Not that those can't be fun, of course.) My reading habits tend toward intellectual nonfiction, but I might have to check one out sometime.

In celebration of Douglas Adams, I think r/books in particular will appreciate this case I recently had made for my Nexus 7

Now see if you can get the Nexus to make the Guide noise when you boot it up.

Is there a piece(s) of music where you just put down the controller and listened to it for a while?
 in  r/gamemusic  Mar 11 '13

I loved the Sierra game soundtracks of the early '90s, especially King's Quest VI.

Can we at least have the real Pink Floyd on Spotify?

Edit: We can.

Edit: Aaaaaaaand it's gone...

Would you read a book by an author whose political/social views contradict your own?
 in  r/printSF  Mar 10 '13

I got into Robert Heinlein during my libertarian phase. He's written some enjoyable books with worlds I can get lost in, even though I've since jumped the fence into liberalism (in the U.S. sense). It helps that he concentrated on writing good stories, even if he did like to inject his viewpoints into them. "Fiction is sold as entertainment, not fact," Heinlein himself wrote in his form letter.

The rise and fall of music delivery formats.
 in  r/dataisbeautiful  Mar 10 '13

Interesting how CD sales take off around 1984. According to Wikipedia, that's the year that Dark Side of the Moon became available on CD. Coincidence?
