I have to correct you. I personally knew the man, as well as the other three passengers, and he certainly did not have epilepsy. We attended the same church for nearly 15 years and he was good friends with my father. The accelerator pedal was already questioned in the media when this accident occurred and the family has never issued a public statement on their view of the cause. The only people who spoke to reporters were eye witnesses.
That being said, I too believe this accelerator pedal situation is incredibly sensationalized but lets keep to the facts or we are just as much to blame as the media. According to witnesses, the car accelerated rapidly crashing through a fence, into a tree and came to rest upside down in about 4 ft of water on the edge of a pond.
I might be trolled for this, but he wasn't always a bumbling idiot. Not that I've voted for him or condone his choices but as a younger man, he wasn't what you would call stupid.
I did also considering a bone stock 200$ eeepc 900 series draws only 36 watts under full load. Hook that up to an external monitor and keyboard and you have something much more efficient for web browsing use. Toss in an external hard disk and you're all set to go.
I suggest a netbook. You are limited to a 12.1 inch screen, but even the cheapest Asus will run for 4-5 hours of moderate use. Several models have 8+ hour ratings.
I have an incredible phone, I can count the number of dropped calls I've had in the last year on one hand, I only pay $70 a month and I get every feature I could ever want, including a new phone every 10 months. I can call any cell phone for free, I can tether my laptop for free and I get to speak with a human when I call in.
I personally know about 10 people using the Hero with sprint and everyone loves it. After seeing mine, my sister, my father and two of my friends moved to sprint just for that phone.
If HTC's track record is any indication, this device will be amazing.
Are you aware that virtually all of the extending antennas on digital cellphones are fake? Ever since the analog to digital swap of several years ago, they were simply added because focus groups felt users would put more faith in a device that looked like it had an external antenna.
Most of them are simply plastic made to slide in and out of the phone.
With inductive charging standards on the way, these concerns about batteries will likely fade as whole surfaces of desks/tables can be made to charge just about any electronic device from mice/keyboards to cellphones and even laptops.
Also, I prefer email over mail anyways. Why pay for the stamp if you both have internet access anyways?
It really came in handy for me way back in the day when I was constantly using Dial up on the road. Toggling off loading images was a great feature and I could work on multiple pages at once while waiting for background pages to load.
As it went on though, It just ended up getting more and more bloated. Just tried out the newest version though and I have to say I am very impressed with the facelift but its just not fast enough to edge out chrome for the sites I browse. I might dump it on my laptop when the 10.50 version is available for linux though.
electricity from coal - 0.44 dollars/MWh (the vast majority of US power is produced with this method) refined coal - 29.81 dollars/MWh solar - 24.34 dollars/MWh wind - 23.37 dollars/MWh
Except the EEE's often had drives that were slower than most USB 2.0 Flash drives. I know, I have a 900 and the first thing I did was replace it with a higher performance drive.
Ah, the good ol' days. A friend and I finally decided to go out and buy legit copies so we wouldn't have to deal with FADE anymore. Three hours of trying everything imaginable to get the games to even run, we cracked them again and it worked instantly.
All I can say is that I tried codemasters. I really tried.
Ironically, I just recently bought OF2 Dragon Rising and have been very, very impressed so far.

"James Lovelock: Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change"
Thankfully, James Lovelock is not human and therefore smart enough to tell us how to fix our problems.

What went wrong? That's a great question.

Whats wrong with that?
Good luck getting it approved by Apple.
It appears to have been edited. Perhaps you missed the first version.
True, but "Balloon and Duct Tape Deliver Great Really High, Almost Space Photos" doesnt have the same ring.
Actually, thats a myth.

The "space pen" was developed independently from NASA and NASA did in fact use pencils on several early missions.
Regardless of regional colloquialisms, the entire summary is poorly written. Grammatically correct perhaps, but lacking in readability.

Its called Flashing. I would link you to the wikipedia site about it, but their DNS is fubar.
And he still rolls ones just like the rest of us.

True, they do have an advantage when it comes to power and reliability, regardless of their performance. I didn't mean to attack your point that way.

Some of these things are not like the other. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_subsidies
That pretty much covers all the bases doesn't it? You aren't in consulting are you?
Correct, that is why the article describes them as "sexual orientation". It never states anything about gender.
Sorry. I guess the mod's don't give a shit about your moaning about not giving a shit.

Even more scary is they all breathed air!
