I know several ex-valley people who are quite fond of their Austin relocate.
I'm sure the fact that it's one of the best places for single young professionals in the country and is cheap as city life can get stateside doesn't hurt.
Takes all kinds. Besides, the weather isn't the big demerit. That would be the allergies.;)

A quick google found "M5ZXML" for a free issue. I used it and was informed it worked. YMMV.
I will say this, though. I've never truly understood the public function of the presidency. I've sometimes wondered why the nation so desperately needs a charismatic figure to line up behind, to the point where we elect criminals and people we don't entirely trust. But yesterday changed all of that. I saw the towers burning with my own eyes, and I was shaken up-- I didn't know if more was on the way, if I was safe where I was, what to do next. I wanted somebody to get on TV and say "this is a tragedy, but we've got things under control." Even though I've never liked Bush, I was glad that someone existed to fill that role.
Humans are pack animals. Family, clan, and so on up through country (It'd be nice if more people felt loyal to the species itself, being the next level past country/society, but that's another discussion completly. Humanity doesn't want peace, really.).
Anyways, as pack animals, there's an alpha. He leads the masses with charisma. The Executive branch acts as the voice of the country in times when it needs a focal point. This is flawed in ways, but cannot be helped. I believe the founding fathers expected the president to be largly the voice of America talking to other nations, like a head ambassador, but that's neither here nor there.
Anyways, Humans will always need an alpha. It's how we act as a swarm. We need someone to be the decision-maker. If you don't want to do this, well, that's probably because you want to be the alpha yourself;)

Last I knew, that was the exact ratio of activities that everyone else on the net was doing, too.
Some of the stinkyness of this movie can be blamed on the studio for not supplying a good mentor for the first time director.
That'd've been nice, but I believe that this film was done independantly, and New Line only picked it up in post-production for distribution rights, because they also have a major fantasy series coming out in a year. I was hoping to see a Lord of the Rings trailer at the beginning.
On another note, I must say that yes, the movie was pure Swiss, but I liked it anyways. It's something that I won't mind spend a rainy day watching a few years from now. I did, however, see it with a crew of about a hundred fellow geeks associated with Binghamton University's CoRE module (Computers, Robotics, and Engineering.) We rented out a midnight showing, all heckled the hell out of it, and had fun. However, I stil want to see it straight sometime.
