Propaganda
You, sir, are not a true geek.
Taking plane?
He's leaving the laptop in case it gets stolen. We are the Irish Liverpool.
Andy Wheeler thinks you're into bondage.
Bang goes the carefully built up uber-geek image.
Marilee, my first reaction is that it's a review that might be telling us more about the reviewer.
Dave, yes, I thought that, too. After all, I didn't see that much bondage, and authors frequently write about things they don't practice. So assuming bondage is part of Charlie's life shows more about Andy's life.
Guthrie: I only had, er, (pauses to count) seven microprocessors on my person: two in each iPod, one in the high-end PDA, one in the smartphone, and one in the ebook reader. (Not sure if the bluetooth keyboard rated a full-blown CPU of its own.) Adding a laptop would have been spurious.
Probably two in the smartphone if you count the DSP for the signal processing.
