I'm a tax payer... I'd much rather see man back on the moon than to see the money spent how a good portion of it is being spent by government currently.
that 1% has already been set aside for overly expensive limos, $2000 hotel rooms for all of Congress, and studies in how to skirt around voters to get things done you want to get done without their consent...
I just got the Droid and it's sweet, but WebOS is very nice, and I think if it takes hold, it could gather quite the following itself. They aren't tied to one network so they will soon branch out. I think the form factor is one thing that needs to be thought out more for the Pre though. That tiny keyboard is hard to use for those with big manly fingers:o)
So it sounds to me like he should find a bank where he has an account? Doesn't sound too hard to me. Besides, cross-bank fees can cost you an arm and an arm.
I think what you mean to say is "apple releasing a version of osx for 30 bucks is metaphorically equivalent to being offered the engine from a 2010 infiniti M at $30(US), but it will only run if you purchase the rest of the infiniti M at sticker price + 20%."
there was some discussion about texting while driving last week as well. Seems a hot topic these days. Honestly, if people can't talk on the phone and drive, I don't see how they expect to read their phone and type on it while driving. Some people will try and defend their position that using their phones in the car is perfectly safe, but fact is it is not. I've seen people with maps or books or whatever spread out on their steering wheels, and they are no different. Taking glances every few seconds to try and make heads or tails of what they are reading, taking their hands off the wheel to move paper or buttons. I just don't get how so many people can just turn their brains off when it comes to cell phone usage. I mean, at least when you are drunk, your eyes are on the road for the most part. You don't react as quickly, but hey, if you are looking at your phone, you don't react at all. Cracking down on these people is a good thing, as it may lead others to start using their heads for a change and realize that typing "meet me @ the park, kthxbye" is not worth the danger it puts you and others into. If you have to text, pull over. Some pull over to use the phone at all, and they are not even diverting their eyes from the road, they are just diverting their minds from the task at hand. My comment before to someone saying "I only text while I drive sometimes" was "so you are only stupid on occasion" and although it was modded insightful, all the responses were mainly saying "everyone is stupid on occasion" but I think there is a difference between having a moment of stupidity that causes no harm, and having moments of stupidity that are potentially fatal to you and others.
now... if half of all Linux users that are going to want to play a game based on the new engine sent you a buck... I bet it wouldn't cover development costs for the engine. That's the sad reality.
There lies the dilemma... do you avoid the sequels or just the prequels? On one hand the sequels could rock, and the prequels... well, think Prawns bouncing around going "meesa peeeeple gonnna die?!"
Then on the other hand, the sequels could be total crap... it's a tough call.
Hopefully he had some special extensions to reach the ground when he has to stop as well. Publicity stunt aside, why doesn't he have a Honda 50 like all other kids his size? Come on!
I didn't think you could return a Mac without first signing a legal document binding you to not speak of the return to anyone for the rest of your life... guess we'll never know.:o)

did you say $4000 a month? where do I sign up?

You are thinking of Phil McCracken I believe. Or perhaps Harry Balzac?
What you do in cyberspace, stays in cyberspace! Unfortunately, cyberspace is a bit more accessible than Vegas.
Is Russia building an identical system on the other side of the world?
And the US Army will be there to enforce that rule with their lives by gosh!!!
...uh boppa ooh mow mow, boppa ooh mow mow, uh boppa ooh mow mow, boppa ooh mow mow...
I'm 100% sure a mouse+keyboard configuration would totally pwn the console style controller!
if you add the -h parameter to the call, it should format it properly for human readable I believe.
Someone warn President Carter!
Were their servers in the clouds or their heads?

Perhaps next time, he'll try to use his disarming charm on the teller. Tip your wait staff.
