palo alto

A rich Northern California town about 40 miles south of San Francisco. People cannot stress enough how rediculiouslly rich the residents of Palo Alto are. A one room shack cost more then a 10 room mansion in Connecticut. It's known as the Greenwich of the west coast. Palo Alto is made up of two sections, the north end and the south end. The north end is the older part, full of old large mansions, Downtown, and Stanford University. The south end is new and more hip, full of large, four story, city like town houses and a starbucks or apple store on every block. There are two high schools, Gunn and Paly. Palo Alto is known for having two of the best public high schools in the country, Gunn ranking 50th in the country. Kids that grow up in Palo Alto have larger trust funds then Paris Hilton and more then 3/4 either go to a UC school (UCLA, UC Berkeley) or Stanford. The other 50 kids either go out of state, go to Foothill Communty College, or live off their parents millions. Laguna Beach should have been filmed in Palo Alto, the kids are richer, the houses are larger, and the people are hotter. The Grateful Dead are from Palo Alto, and many famous artists, poets, and bands from the 60's and 70's got their start in Palo Alto, making Palo Alto the largest hippie town full of rich people in the world. Like greenwich in CT, there are other rich towns that boarder Palo Alto. Darien, Wilton, Westport, and Fairfield are the rich towns that boarder Greenwich, whereas, Atherton, Woodside, Menlo Park, and Los Altos are the super rediculiosly rich towns that boarder Palo Alto. A lot of famous internet people, sports people, and hollywood people live in Palo Alto, and even the cool homeless guy that hangs out by Piazza's has a laptop and rolex watch. Stanford Shopping Center is also the most damn expensive place to shop for designer clothes, and serves a good sandwhich from La Bagguet.

Greenwich girl: "Hey i'm from Greenwich CT, and I just bought a polo shirt and a lacoste skirt, where are you from?"

Palo Alto girl: "Im from Palo Alto, only the homeless people in my town wear polo."

Greenwhich girl: "I used to live in Palo Alto, then we sold are $2 million one room shack and bought a mansion in CT, funny huh!"

Palo Alto Guy: "I was thinking of driving down to LA to audition for that new Johnny Depp movie, but my Jag's in the shop I dont want to be seen driving around in my mom's porsch."

Palo Alto Guy #2: "How is Johnny doin these days."

Homeless person: "Please miss give me some spare change."

Palo Alto woman: "Im sorry all i have is a wallet full of $100's and seven visa black cards, will a $100 be alright?"

Homeless person: "I guess if thats the best you can do."

Sarah Palin

The vice presidential nominee who is basically a nazi, without the genocide. She has as much experience as a PTA member. Quite frankly she's a bit of a joke. Oh yeah and her daughter has had two kids and pretends the first one was hers, hows that for fucked up.

OMG!!! McCain is a hypocrite for nominating Sarah Palin.

palm coast

the absolute worst, but at the same time, best place you will ever go to. a town in florida consisting of nothing but woods and never-ending roads, a badass lacrosse team, and scene kids. there's absolutely nothing to do but fuck shit up at walmart at three in the morning, go to taco bell, and do drugs. no matter how much you say you hate it here, the second you leave, you'll find yourself wanting to come back more than ever.

Capital of Palestine

The capital of Palestine would be Jerusalem. A beautiful area that is probably the most contested city in the entire war. It is an area fought over by Muslims, Chrisitians and Jews. In Jerusalem (the capital of Palestine), their is one of the most holy sites known to Islam, the Dome of the Rock. Which is a mosque believed to have been the place where a prophet descended to heaven. It was built in 705 CE, making it one of the oldest sites in history.

Man 1: Did you ever visit Palestine? What's there?
Man 2: The most beautiful places ever. Including the city, Jerusalem.

Man 1: What's so great about it?
Man 2: There's history, great sites and great Palestinian food like shawarma, falafel and hummus!
Man 1: Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine, here I come!

Palm Treo PDA

The Palm Treo, created by Palm inc. is a Smart-Device, also know as a PDA that made it's debut in 2001. The PDA runs on cellular networks, instead of WiFi. The Treo had a dramatic upgrade in the form of the Treo 600 (Released in 2003), then with the Treo 650 (released in 2004). Since that time the Treo has been released several times in the form of, 700W, 700P, 700, 755, 680, 690 and 685. These devices have not changed much in the 5 years they have been out. Very minimal updates to the hardware, in the form of slightly more memory. And a slightly updated OS has been added. The update is not noticeable at all. The bugs are the same as they have been since 2003. Limited Bluetooth profiles; Hard-Resets; still an 8MB cache cap limit for the Blazer web browser; Backspace and other keypad buttons dieing prematurely; still no WiF, 1MP Camera; limited RAM; along with many more defects. Defects that most Palm loyalist have complained about since the 600, but Palm has made no effort in correcting. Palm has been criticized for basically "Milking" the Treo design, by getting customers to buy so-called updated Treo's at $500 and $600 a pop; just to release another so-called update a few months later. Example the Treo 600 came with a low-res (160x160) screen. Which was updated in the 650 to a (320x320). The next update in the form of the Treo 700w came with a (240x240) screen, then updated to (320x320) in the 700p. This was again done with the Treo 680 to the 755. The pathetic updates have caused the PalmOS to go from the 3rd most used PDA OS, just behind Blackberry and Symbian OS; to now being a Mobile OS that software developers have ceased making software for. Samsung, another wireless PDA vendor, stopped making Smart-Devices with PalmOS back in 2004. Palm's most recent Treo is the "Centro" aka 690. This PDA was first released for use on the Sprint EV-DO network. Shortly after this, Palm released the Centro 685 to run on EDGE networks. The 685 has exactly the same features as all other Treo's. The Centro is being marketed as a Budget PDA at a price under one hundred dollars with a contract. Seeing as the hardware is the same, this price cut is not as good as it seems. The Centro is yet another attempt at Milking the Treo lineup, in the hopes of allowing Palm inc. to survive a little bit longer. This practice has now allowed Windows Mobile to overtake the PalmOS, which Palm laughed at the idea back in 2004. The popularity of Windows Mobile is evident in the fact that companies like Motorola, HTC, Samsung, ect have created numerous PDA's running the Mobile OS; while at the same time Palm has continued to lose market share and has been forced to let go of employees. The moral of the rise and fall of the Palm Treo should set an example, that customers demand legitimate updates in the PDA's that they spend so much money on. Once a company like Palm cons their loyal customers into buying so-called updated PDA's, just to end up being disappointed; that those customers will look elsewhere for their high-tech devices. Palm is not expected by many wireless analyst to survive into the next decade. A fault that rest completely on the shoulders of Palm inc.

The Palm Treo PDA lost everything in a matter of years..... The Treo is now DOA....

palmatier

The act of a vehicle-less individual imposing themselves on people in order to gain free transportation to seemingly inconvenient locations.

She tried to pull a "palmatier" so she could visit with a friend, smoke and watch Japanese soap operas. When I said "no", she told me to shut up.

Palinophobia

The fear that Sarah Palin will become president in 2012. This fear started in the last election, and is suffered mostly by liberal Americans. However a number of conservatives also share this fear, insofar as they are deeply concerned that this is the best that the Republican party can do.

Jess curled into a fetal position while reading Kennedy's "Profiles in Courage"... hoping this would be the prescription to cure him from his growing state of Palinophobia.
