As opposed to $150 for a 10 minutes flight over the Hoover's Dam? You have the option not to do it.
>400 Euros for a Venetian mask and don't even get me started on the Murrano glass.
Hand made stuff, man. Not made in China.
I visited Venice in the off-season, lots of good places to eat for cheap, cheap hotel and few tourists around. Your choice to go when everyone else goes. have you tried Yellowstone in August?
It's funny:) But to make sure that someone doesn't take you too seriously: internet in Italy is NOT translated in Italian (other than italian websites);-)
This is actually good news for all, bad news for some hotels, for which I'm glad. I don't know about Venice but last year I was in Rome (and I've had similar experiences in other cities since I spend 2 months in Italy every year) and staying at a Marriott they charged 17 euros a day for internet access. That was on top of the 400 euros a day for the suite (200 euros for the cheapest room). Hopefully this will discourage hotel chains from charging an unreasonable amount for accessing the net. Funny enough, B&B can be very nice, have much cheaper rates and usually offer free wi-fi. Other than that it is important because in the States similar proposal have been struck down once again because "it would not be fair in the interest of providers"... Ah. the good old U.S. of A.... always put the interest of corporations before those of the citizens (I live in the U.S.)
No kidding.
It's funny how Americans feel "protected" for having gun. While the price to pay, statistically, is 3 children shot dead in a household each day.
It might not be faster than XP but it certainly feels faster. After my motherboard got fried I installed a new one and decided to go with a clean install of Windows 7, which I'm using right this moment and it feels very fast and stable. As a matter of fact I have not felt this good on Windows ever since I beta tested Win2000 and even the betas of that one were pretty stable to the point that I ended up replacing my 98 with 2000 entirely.
I agree that memory is cheap and you can even get it at McDonald's blah blah blha... fact remains that some people use laptops (gasp!) that do not allow for memory upgrade (mine for example is maxed out at 2GB, which is not a lot, you'll admit if you're running a browser that needs 1GB plus other tasks).
C'Mon guys, that is not flamebait. Some people should not be allowed to moderate as they use it as a personal weapon.
I haven't tried FF3.5 but I run 3.0 and until 3.0 came out all previous versions of FF sucked a lot more than IE regarding memory use. I thought it was just my computer then I started researching the issue and turned out that waste of memory resources was a common thing in FF2.x That didn't stop people from flaming me and saying that it was my fault for not knowing how to use FF. Well, guess what, you click on the icon and you start the program. If one has to start editing config files to make the software work than it's game over.
Why is the above modded a Troll? iPhone OS2 does not support Copy & paste so this is a legitimate questions. His intent might be to flame a bit, but the question remains legitimate. Let's not just mod people down just because we don't agree or because we're fanboys of this or that brand.
And you think that's a lot? My neighbor sold his house for $22 million. $78 million is nothing considering that the money comes from a country not a single individual, especially when the military spends trillion of dollars. I have an idea: we are in a financial crisis, why don't we cut the Pentagon budget completely and use the money to save us and the planet? Which includes space exploration... military money is the worst spent money in the world (short of going to a Celine Dion concert (according to Beyond the Wild Green Yonder)).;-)
Since we were genetically engineered by an extraterrestrial civilization they designed fingerprints in our DNA so that they could catalog us for later use.
... if we read this article appeared today: Video game sales hit three-year low in US
"US video game sales took a 23 per cent tumble in May compared to the previous year, dropping below the $1bn sales mark for the first time since August 2007."
I was in Japan last year and read in my guidebook that trains are considered officially late if they are 3 minutes off the schedule. Well, in this small town our train broke and arrived with one hour delay. During that time the 3 different people, including the station director came and apologized. They clearly didn't know what to do with this delay, like they had never seen one before. Having grown up in Italy I was highly amused, rather than annoyed:)
Whenever I get moderator status (once a week or so) I make it a point to read toward the end of the posts in order to give a chance to someone who writes an insightful or funny post to get brownie points.
For once Italy is ahead. I live in both countries and in Italy 24Mbps is common. The lowest speed available in many places is 7Mbps, good luck to me getting that in my home in the US.

Finally! ;-)
Hahahaha. Wish I could mode you "funny"
sorry, that=then

Exactly! These people haven't learned anything from watching Star Trek: Voyager ? ;-)

That's easy: they just need to put some fermented dog poo under your nose while you don't expect it and watch your reaction :)

That's not trolling, that's a proper intelligent reply to the usual " we have a financial crisis we should stop breathing to save air"
That's what you get for clicking on ads. If I see something interesting I type the name of the company myself.
You are not afraid of alien invasions? You gotta be crazy.
Maybe this virus was sent by aliens. HA! What do you think of that huh?
