...another dumb thing: my phone's e-mail address is a user-contemptuous mishmash of 48 alphanumeric characters. I figured I'd cure this by spending $129 more to buy the Data Connectivity Kit and do e-mail off-line, through my laptop. But when I tried to set the thing up, there was nothing in the documents explaining how. Worse, when I called Motorola's toll-free help line, I was assured by two separate reps that the phone could be used only for faxing; e-mail and Web browsing could not be done via a laptop-phone connection...
...piano work creating a haunting backdrop to Zelle's growling, husky vocals. True, the band could have done with more stage presence. The usual stage trick of the guitarist and bassist facing off didn't work when the guitarist's back was to the audience and the band's mishmash of outfits suggested a lack of polish.

So-called formal systems were devised (the prime example being Russell and Whitehead's Principia Mathematica) in which theorems, following strict rules of inference, sprout from axioms like limbs from a tree. This process of theorem sprouting had to start somewhere, and that is where the axioms came in: they...
...crowd up and clapping, though not necessarily quite on beat. String Cheese combines everything from bluegrass to salsa rhythms in their music. Originally from Colorado, the band has matured and added variation to their music over the years. While they haven't quite found their own sound yet, their mishmash of other people's genres is fairly enjoyable. Although talented, their drummer tended to undertake a little too much in some of their songs and ended up sounding convoluted and confused...
