No, it's not a fort. But bonsi buddy, gator, nkvd hijacker, and coolwebsearch (etc, etc, etc) won't run on it, and that is why you give it to your parents.
Before you start calling people trolls, perhaps you should remember that we can't predict the weather more than 5 days in advance reliably, let alone have all the models line up and give the same results with the same inputs.
That said, you might want to check out Bill Bryson's "Short History of Nearly Everything". You'll agree with what he says, and he has a couple great chapters dedicated to explaining the "conveyor belt" as well as a bunch of other stuff related to climate change.
Some seats have an electrical plugs in them, even in coach. Depends on what carrier, etc, but usually front row or back row of a section has power running to it and hidden under the seat. Might be 12V dc, might be a 10 amp 110AC line.

Pretty simple to obtain actually, a couple states have them banned, most don't. Fill out a form or two, throw $300 to the feds for the tax stamp and you have yourself a silencer. And when you say "extremely" you're not talking about that much for handguns, about the cost of new handgun, plus a new barrel (less than $200 and that is a maybe). 2 grand easy - and that isn't too much money if you're a gun person. You're not going to silence anything that takes a.300 winchester magnum round, so big rifles aren't really an issue.
Okay, what do you call surreptitiously observing peoples activities, then? Video taping an unaware couple making out in a park isn't spying? Yes, it is a public place and therefore I could be being watched at any time. That does not mean it is acceptable to me to actually be watched all the time

Come now, these are the same motherfuckers who send seniors $5 checks which, when cashed, enroll them into some credit protection program / yellow pages listing service that costs $10 a month. Of course the "terms and conditions" were written on the inside of the envelops (i.e. on the envelope itself) and the AG has to step in to put a stop to it.
I had a credit card company who used to try to pull this sort of shit all the time - the due dates were set to sundays or holidays (changed every couple of months), the payment address changed every couple of months and, for some strange reason, it took about 13-15 days for them to "receive" payments (and usually another 2 days to "process". The checks weren't being sent to fucking Rwanda, but from Oregon to Utah / California / Nevada. Blind mail is faster. Mysterious fees would be added and re-added, apparantly with my consent. Membership points / air miles would vanish. Their collections people would be happy to call you repeatedly even though your bank told you they cashed your check 4-5 days ago. And it went on and on and on. Sure, it was fun to abuse the agents for a while, but it got old pretty fucking quick.
The damndest thing was the company was decent for a while, and all of a sudden they changed. I suppose one or two screwups on their part could be attributed to incompetence or a one time screwup, but there are limits.
I could walk away, and I did - but I'm sure many people couldn't. I know a home loan isn't the same as a credit card, but you presume that they aren't going to act like Guidos.
I think this is also less about the person's greed - It is assumed that you're going to have to borrow a significant amount of money (not many people buy a house outright), but I don't think it is reasonable to assume that a credit card company is going to be a bunch of vicious greedy assholes when you sign up. It's one of those unwritten rules. Rules that are eventually broken and result in "Pussification Legislation" being passed by the state's AG.
Anyways...

You should of have pressed harder. Settlements vary, but can go to single digits. Very rare, mind you.
I'd have to argue with the "which shows how much they are bathing in money." The settlement process is their attempt to get some, hell, any money.
They aren't going to ask (well, once, twice) for $80,000 if they know you can't get $80,000. Unreasonable demands will be answered with a "fuck you" (You can't get blood from a rock), reasonable ones might get them some money. Any money is better than no money, and the whole situation is closer to a Sicilian street market than anything else.
Well, it is made of pretty think sheet metal. Just curious, why is this a concern? Do you move your computer often? A Dual G5 isn't something you drag to lan parties - even if it has steal-me handles.
I don't want to sound too critical of the plot of HL1, but it's basically Doom, but you're a scientist, not a space marine. Oh, and the army is sent in to kill everyone associated with the project (you). That's about it though.
Great game and all, but there isn't that much that goes on in the first game. I heard the second has quite a bit more.
Haven't seen the purchase agreement for all cars, but generally they don't say that racing will void your warranty. And accelerating to the maximum speed, especially on cars with a rpm or speed limiter isn't abuse.
Ok, lets break it down. Electricity savings will be over the lifetime of the unit. Say 5 years. 55 pounds. A decent chunk of change by itself, probably enough to make up the difference (depending on how cheap crts you are comparing it against)
You also have to consider that of the extra 70 watts, 70% is most likely wasted as heat. I don't think that is unreasonable.
If you have 500 workstations, you're basically installing a 25 KW heater in your business. Since you like a nice and comfortable office, you are going to find a way to get rid of that added heat. You're probably going to run A/C, which pretty much guarantees that you're going to use at least the same amount of energy to cool the building.
If you're implementing on a large scale, LCDs begin to make quite a bit more sense, pretty mucht he only downside is their durability, although that shouldnt be an issue in the office.
Some pay less. $10 a day, etc. Plug mileage (although some don't pay parking, so you could actually be losing money)
Actually, Arizona is doing some interesting stuff, google for details, but it can be up to $300 a day for jurors on long cases (of which there are not many, so they have retroactive payments, etc.) They aren't representative of the other states through.
Well, if it were less of a financial burden, it would be less of an issue.
$70 a week or whatever is offered is a fucking disgrace. Plain and simple. If your employer doesn't cover you and you're on the jury for 3 months, it will bankrupt you, get your home and car re-possed and play hell with child care I know a bunch of companies who have recently switched from "paying your standard wage during jury duty" to "not firing your ass for not showing up because that would be against the law".
Remember, when you go in, you have no idea how long you will be there for.
Civic duty, fine, but my civic duty shouldn't involve my car being towed by repo men.

The cell carriers are going to allow the phone to hook directly up to a PC (fat chance; they can't bill for that),
Sure they can. $30+ for the cable and $20 for the software that is inexplicably sold seperately. Sprint does it this way at least.
Friends don't let friends buy HP [Cameras].
You don't really care for under $50 though.
Besides, most cell phone lenses are plastic - apparantly for durability.
