    "Herzog Zwei"
    greatest sega game EVER.

    I don't think it's fine for them to do this to a group of 45 year old nudists from Indiana.
    I don't like it.
    I will have nothing to do with it. I will not fly.
    That probably will not make a difference but that and complaining on /. are my preferred outlets.

    I have never suggested that you can't put a value on life.
    Call me a bastard but I can value, in US Dollars, a life.
    yours, mine, my child's. They all have different values to me.
    I'll bet that they do to you too.

    did you really just counter "think of the children" with "there are kids starving in Africa"?
    wow.

    Well let me tell you, before you get the hell out of my yard, it was a blast.
    In less than 3 hours I could be a thousand miles away from my house. They would give us drinks, too.
    I'm not so old that I haven't always had to go through a metal detector.
    We were allowed to keep our shoes on, and bring as much shampoo as we wanted.
    Water too. Remember water?

    fuck airports.
    flying? I love flying.
    the airport is what ruined it.

    Are you ok with the Greeter at the entrance to Wall-Mart seeing your child naked?
    How about the taxi driver?
    Clearly, for this thing to work, they need to see your genitals.
    Why then don't they have a strip search?
    Quick, effective, cheap, and doesn't expose you to an x-ray. what could be better?

    no, it's not.
    It's like a superhero saving the day and then billing Lex Luthor, or whoever the bad guy is, for the time and materials it took to kick his ass.
    They don't want the victim to pay for this, they want the villain to pay for the wrong that the commited and the cost to set it right.

    My freshly replaced dual 1.8 gHz G5 had just such a connector.
    It was called ADC. My Cinema display had a single cable that went to the video card. That carried video, power, and USB.
    Loved it. It made finding video cards more of a pain in the ass, but as a life long Mac user I'm used to my ass hurting.
    Replaced it with a 27" iMac.
    Love it too.
