A while back I thought about moving all of my personal correspondence to my personal mail server. However, as Gmail and Google had yet to demonstrate a complete disregard for privacy, I decided to stick with them as the services are very convenient.
I guess it's time to go through with my initial plans.
I use Google for quite a few things but, I will be avoiding all Google products going forward. You've lost a patron today, Google, and I trust I'm not the only one.
If I'm paying for a 15 mb connection, I should be able to use 15 mb of bandwidth 24/7 if I want to. If the ISP is going to limit bandwidth usage to a certain amount or throttle the connection during peak hours, the customer should be made aware of this before the purchase.
I played sports during high school but, during the off season, I was part of a regular PE class. The majority of the students would run the mandated 3 laps or some such and then either sit around talking the rest of class or ditch and go smoke weed.
Regular PE classes at my school were a waste of not just the student's time but, the school's resources. Had they taken the money wasted on herding kids around a track for a few hours and spent it on healthy replacements for greasy pizza, nacho cheese fries, and coca-cola, maybe I wouldn't have had to lose 40 pounds in the last 12 months.
Looking back, it's a microcosm of the United States' disease care system...
Eat high fat/high glycemic index/generally unhealthy foods during lunch and then work as much as you can off during PE an hour or so later because, if you don't, you'll get fat.
Versus...
Eat high fat/high glycemic index/generally unhealthy foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and then refill your prescription for your cholesterol/diabetes/high blood pressure because, if you don't take it, you'll die early.
But, I digress. I agree that the resources used for "physical education" in public schools would be much better suited elsewhere. As a musician, I would definitely support directing the funds to a music program. Look on the bright side: all the kids that ditched PE to get stoned would... probably still do it... but, I bet you they'd come back to listen to/play music.:P
So they hooked a machine to a solar power source whose varied power output results in slightly different products... I guess the little kids in africa and china making overpriced furnishings with imperfections, err, personality... can now be replaced.
What is up with google's contextual ads? This was the first one of the three I saw when I opened this. The creationists must really be getting desperate.

I can say that having a MPG display does make a large difference in the way I drive. While my car isn't a gas guzzler on the scale of an Excursion or other SUVs, it's no ULEV. When you start pushing it on the freeway, trying to zip around, the significant drop in MPG on the display is easily enough to make me cringe. Particularly with $3.79/gallon gasoline.
I've found that if I use cruise control and just drive a little less aggressively I can nearly double my MPG in my car. Cruise control, coasting, watching traffic up ahead and thinking ahead about it, and just doing the speed limit increase my mileage a lot. Considering I'm driving around with a 4.2 liter V8, getting 27-30 MPG is pretty good.
Sometimes though, I have to throw caution to the wind and enjoy the speed and acceleration of my car, even if my MPG is in the single digits when I do.

It has taught me the value of patience.
With the advent of Bluetooth headsets, this could be quite easy to get away with.
Just act like you're talking, hold it up in front of you momentarily, as if you were checking the number/caller id, and take a picture.
Convention/Expo wise, I think televising the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo would get the most viewers. :)

Perhaps something a little less wasteful would be mixing whatever chemical/compound is signaling this behavior into the soil.
Just take the money from the Spanish Inquisition, nobody expects that.
Add some tits and a bunch of chauvinistic cliches and I think you've crammed the whole genre into one game. Tits indeed.

Yes, and don't forget about all the heat stroke deaths in Europe not too long ago.

- An employee leaves his computer on overnight to get an important job done...
- ...only to find it shutted down at the morning, along with a message left on the table:
- "The computer had been left on, so I thought it was best to turn it off. Yours, janitor"
- KHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!

"you insensitive clod" would have fit nicely in there.
