I think that should solve the problem. As for the clip, definitely yarase. While Twittering would work, making a website or even programming would only lead to unusable results. No-one in their mind would do such a thing while walking around, at least not for a long time. One of the guys in the clip said he's making a website as a hobby - well, I'd really like to see that. Probably just wrote a blog entry somewhere. ;) If The Overthinker would register a Wordpress account with reading rights, then surely noone else could write with his user name as it’d be already taken, right?

It is not humanly possible to ride a bicycle and use a computer at the same time. If they were standing or even walking around a free wireless spot I could believe it, but this is too much. Programming has to be bullshit as well because the keyboard-size*battery-life/weight ratio just doesn't add up. Again, if they were sitting down at Starbucks or on a Shinkansen with some 15 inch "laptop" properly plugged, I could believe it. That said, I do sometimes use my Sharp NetWalker in trains to check some document out or in parks while waiting for someone. I would probably want to use it more if I had the DoCoMo bundle. Definitely yarase.

Uh huh. Suuuuure. Oh, wait, does Microsoft encourage bicycling? It would explain Vista, and Windows ME (and just about everything else, too) Programming while riding a bicycle? Uh huh. Suuuuure.

So I have an enemy here (or trying to be here). Thanks for keeping the board clean of his vitriol. I usually try to avoid being insulting (or at least excessively so - some comments are just dumb), but I guess some people just let it get personal.... Hmmm.

Restricting commenting to logged in user accounts would discourage newcomers from leaving comments, so I don't want to take that option. There's only one sad loser out there who hates your guts and tries to leave comments under your name. I usually delete his shit before it even goes public, but today I must have accidentally approved his comment because it wasn't quite moronic enough to set off red flags.
