Before everyone starts to flame me, let me be more specific.
If there was a sub-500usd new mac (that is including monitor, mouse and keyboard), probably I could fork over the cash for one...
But lets be honest, if I can get an AMD system with a 15inch LCD screen, Sempron 2200 proc, and half a gig of ram for about 450usd, how am I gonna convince my wife that I should buy a 600usd mac mini, plus 250usd for the monitor, plus the keyboard and the silly one button mouse?
All resolutions regarding Israel were UN General Assembly resolutions, which have no teeth whatsoever. They're symbolic.
UN Security Council resolutions are the only kind that carry an enforcement power behind them. Security Council resolutions, according to the UN charter, carry the weight of enforcement action, including sanctions, blockades, military force, and occupation.
And the reason why there has never been a UN Security Council Resolution against Israel is because the USA vetos any such proposal.
I am sure that the former will take less than 10% of time and will probably cost less than 10% of the cost.
Nah, the movie studios will charge you the same for them, and wont allow you to record them into a physical medium... Have you compared prices of VHS tapes and DVDs lately? How do you compare that with the costs of production of both media?
Two ways to end the war: (1) Kill all terrorists. (2) Convert to Islam. Unfortunately, diplomacy is not a part of either
Do you realize that true Islam does not condone terrorism? The same way that true Christianity does not condone crusades (either those instigated by Pope Alexander II or those instigated by George W Bush.
Also, do you realize that a large percentage of terrorism attacks in Irak lately target Muslims, so converting to Islam wouldnt work?
Why aren't our ATMs as helpful as the ones in Canada and Europe, where they apparently remember what language you speak, and select that when you put your card in?
Youre not alone, I keep getting asked the same question every time I use the ATM, and Im in Mexico City

I run Linux myself, but certainly do I crave the Apple iLife experience...
No one here in my country (name withheld to avoid further spamming) pays for windows, thought... piracy runs rampant...
I have a fucking job, you moron.
Not on every country you can afford to buy computers every month...
Thank you for the only sensible response I have received so far...
Too late, i am already flamed and modded down...
My fault for getting a first post, i guess...

Any ideas?
If I could afford one...

Which is why injustices are allowed to prevail...
...and these are only 2 examples
Taiwan will never be recognized as an independent state, due to veto from China
Israels innumerable human rights abuses will never be punished, due to veto from the USA
I think I can sell you a cheap rolex made of .9999% pure gold bullion!
Strange, I always thought a mimic was a treasure chest that transforms into a monster.
Actually Octopus live longer if you place lots of simple plastic toys and tubing in its tank.
You dont get the "authentic reef aquarium" look, but you get hours of fun watching the octopus.
Yes I do understand that, but do you understand that web designers design pages to be read at 800x600 with 96dpi fonts?
So even if you get a cellphone/pda screen to display 800x600, most websites will still be unusable, due to the fonts being unreadably small.
The vast majority of websites use those, you know?
It surprises me that you lived to tell the tale!
According to Apple, the Ipod Shuffle plays the following formats:
MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Music Store, M4A, M4B, M4P), Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4) and WAV

I think the day is comming when the lcd's will be good enough that a phone will have a 3.5" screen and be 800 by 600.
Yeah maybe. But will you be able to read standard 96dpi fonts from that? Dont think so!
You are correct. The guitar parts played by Ralph Maccios character were played by Ry Cooder (RIP)
I am sure that the former will take less than 10% of time and will probably cost less than 10% of the cost.

For 7th level, its not too unbalanced.
However, if someone tried to get those scores for a first level character, I would ask them to reroll
Well, it seems that my players are very mature then, none of them have more than two scores above 16, they have well rounded characters overall...
Helps that all of us knew of (and hated) munchkin players and DMs
I just tell my d&d players to assign 80 points among their ability scores, with a maximum of 18 and a minimum of 6.
That way, the players can get the character they want, and I dont have to worry too much about unbalanced characters.
Well, I for one, welcome our obsessive-compulsive... er, wikipedians.
Wikipedia has flaws, but its a truly worthwhile proyect.
Well, Orbach in Law and Order was prone to quoting from famous films, too bad that the spanish translation here misses most of them...
