I'd say one of These actually if you want something that looks bad-ass. Maybe not as Air Force One, but as a shorter range transport perhaps a replacement for Marine One something that's faster and still has VTOL capability.
I originally played Half Life 1 about two years ago, i never actually finished it, i got to about the third xen level and after about 30 deaths i gave up. Now about 2 months ago i bought The Orange Box off of Steam, i beat HL2 and I'm on EP1 now, i really do think 2 is better. The pacing is better, and I've never really been a fan of the dungeon shooter style that 1 had some strong elements of, I've always liked large open environments where you can move around and choose the best approach on an enemy and 2 really uses that.
Well, i actually learned through school, i'm going to school for an A.A.S in Network Administration and one of the requirements was a fundamentals of programming class. I don't plan on becoming a programmer but its good to have a general skill set just in case you need to streamline something. I had experience with HTML from years before, and Bash scripting experience so the next logical step was python. I just use the IDLE interface and its quite simple and helpful, but for me at least the most help was in class with the theory behind it, the practice came quite easily.
Personally i learned to program in Python, it is like instant gratification. You can see and advance your work very quickly, and it lays a great foundation for the other top-level languages. It is today what BASIC was in the mid 80's.
Not a solution to defeat ISPs attempts to control, what's going through their network.
Do you understand that ISPs are not exactly charity organizations, don't you? I am paying for their service and I expect it to work as it was advertised in their offer.
Do you understand that they believe you owe them and that they're just being nice guys for "improving" your online experience. And in the process making it easier for grandparents to download pictures of their ugly grandchildren.
I get your point however a colostomy isn't actually the removal of the anus. I can't find what that procedure is called but the colostomy just changes the location for the function of the anus. No removal actually occurs from what I can tell.
Jeez, what's in your anus?

Astronaut1 - Maybe We could push it down a hill?
Astronaut1 - Nah, we'd never find a smooth enough surface.
Astronaut1 - Or, we could wait till winter when the lake freezes over.
Astronaut2 - We've got 2 weeks!
Astronaut1 - Alright we know we cant pull it, maybe... if we could.. push it up to 88Mph!
I can see a day where you pay for entry to a secure, transparent community to conduct hassle-free transactions, while still having a wild, wild west internet for other activities like/. Is it just me or does this remind anyone else of Firefly/Serenity? You Go To a monitered, military state like inner planet to find work, then you go to the outer planets/moons to fulfill the job and get paid, or possibly killed in the process.
I saw that URL and immediately my hopes skyrocketed, then when i saw that there isn't a site there they hit rock bottom again. Thanks for NOTHING!
/sarcasm, well the "Thanks for NOTHING" part at least.
By the time Skynet became self-aware it had spread into millions of computer servers across the planet. Ordinary computers in office buildings, dorm rooms; everywhere. It was software; in cyberspace. There was no system core; it could not be shutdown. The attack began at 6:18 PM, just as he said it would. Judgment Day, the day the human race was almost destroyed by the weapons they'd built to protect themselves. I should have realized it was never our destiny to stop Judgment Day, it was merely to survive it, together. The Terminator knew; he tried to tell us, but I didn't want to hear it. Maybe the future has been written. I don't know; all I know is what the Terminator taught me; never stop fighting. And I never will. The battle has just begun.

And in what way are they obligated to our money without having to provide the agreed-upon service?
This isn't supposed to be a tax.
I'm on your side, i was just trying to see it from the ISP's twisted perspective.

What Im talking about is in a corporate environment.
"Oh wait lemme just take it to the Apple Store and have them fix it."
Yeah, not gonna happen.
I can't imagine what it would be like having to fight that shiny white plastic in able to swap out parts... No Thanks.
1) Make A free Open Source and highly successful Linux Distro
2) Get It installed on Dell's machines
3) ?????
4) Profit

And the year the cubbies win the world series.
Henceforth proving that they are pretty secure.
They may not require a pulse, but they sure as hell require some kind of electrical signal in the operator.

Now it's mostly Canada, Damn Canucks!

You do realize this could very well start a war, right?
Not a flame war but a REAL WAR!
oh well we all know VI will win, cause we're just that awesome.

But if they fired all those people then who will put the corks in the black holes?

Any Similarities?
They mostly reenter orbit at night, mostly.

I Know I slaughtered it but i had to adapt it
You, Sir, have made my month with the Great White Telephone Remark, Thank You, I will treasure that phrase for the rest of my life.
