They make nice looking luggage dollys for people like paralegals and others who need to constantly transport large amounts of paperwork. They are expensive (but are generally leather and have laptop padding) so you often see people just using the fairly inexpensive ballistic nylon hand luggage (the kind with the extendable handle and two wheels). I'd say one of those two options is your best bet. The professions that need to cart about the same amount of stuff from place to place (usually to court) has already solved this problem.
Hunh? Yast uses the standard config files and rc files for control. If you hand edit any configuration files, Yast will either read it and reflect your changes in the interface, or (for instance, with Apache), skip it saying "you've modified this file, so I'm leaving it alone".
SUSE uses standard configuration files, Yast edits them, and leaves your changes alone. What are you complaining about?
It does have incorrect (or at least poorly updated) information. Water Island is not listed as one of the distinct units of the US Virgin Islands, something that officially occurred at the beginning of the year.
It's surprising how hard it is to get them to update that thing.
Somebody else pointed out that Houston is incorrect by just about any rationale for the size of the bars. I have no idea what this graph is supposed to represent, however I maintain that it is a bad graph - especially since it's not labeled.
I "fixed" the map a bit by coloring just four of the county result bars with the (rough) proportional amount of Republican votes.
Note that I do *not* think this is a good way to view the info. You'll see that I tinted the top of the bars. If I did this for all blue counties, everything would appear red. This is a very very misleading map any way you draw it. Hopefully, this is a bit less misleading than the original:
As far as I can tell, this is utterly misleading. Unless I'm wrong, what this does is take the county, draw a bar with the height of the population, and then color it with the majority of votes - discarding any other votes.
That is to say, a high population area may have 48% Republican votes and 49% Democratic votes but the entire tall bar is colored blue.
Oh, gimmie a break - if so, then you know that they had a whole bunch of accounts that were deleted because they let their passwords get compromised. This is the second set of signups, and for those who waited to make sure that they had fixed the problem, we all have numbers at least above 10k.
Besides, it's clear you don't have a three digit UID. Bagdad Bob says so.
Well, as a comparison, I ran SUSE with KDE on a Pentium II 300Mhz with 64MB of RAM for quite awhile (my old laptop). It felt fine. I'd imagine that, this being a custom distro(?), it would have less loaded and thus be slimmer memory-wise.
You're slightly off because you are discussing a show intended for children.
That said, cultural taste is split by geography and generation. Disco was all the rage in the 70s, but it's relatively unpopular now. Same goes for just about every form of music. That doesn't mean that they aren't good, just that they are tied to a culture that you happen to not be part of, or your tastes have moved.
Same thing happens when you move geographically. In California, people look at you funny when you ask what kind of barbeque a restaurant has... there's only one kind. But having moved here from the deep south, I now appreciate a good salad place (yay, Plutos).
Asking why more people don't play these games is like asking why the hit movie "Oceans 11" with the rat pack isn't still doing well in theaters. It was popular and did well at the box office... it hasn't gotten "worse" over time. Yet a remake of it with modern actors vaulted it back to a popular movie. The same goes for old games. The good ones still have people who play them; the good movies still have people who watch them. But for popular consumption, it has to be new - a "remake" of Mazewars called Doom 3 is doing well. The classics still get played, but the new ones always seem to much more popular - because they are the temporal culture you happen to be living in.
Whle I would seriously take this with a grain of salt considering the source, a bit of research on this would be fairly easy. Pending the verification of the source, the government takes prayer seriously:
IRS Prohibits Churches from Praying for the Re-Election of President George Bush
WASHINGTON, October 28, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Internal Revenue Service says churches praying for God to grant President Bush four more years as President, during their church services, is a violation of the federal tax code. The IRS issued their ruling in response to a formal request from the Christian Defense Coalition seeking clarification on this issue.
The Christian Defense Coalition is being represented on this issue by the American Center for Law and Justice.
Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, commented on the ruling saying, "This decision by the IRS is a tragic crushing of the First Amendment and religious freedom. The federal government is now telling churches how they must pray and conduct their services. This is clearly censorship. Churches should be allowed to pray according to the teachings of Scripture and the dictates of their conscience without government intimidation or harassment. Regardless if that prayer is offered for President Bush, Senator Kerry or any other candidate."
IIRC, there was a minor fracas recently (in the last twelve years or so) when the secret service visited a woman who was using witchcraft to wish the President dead. I'm really quite fuzzy on the details; it may well have been early in Clinton's terms.
Considering I was living in South Florida at the time, it may have been a Santeria practitioner. Judges and local officials occasionally wake up to find chicken feet and blood on their doorstep, and the news periodically trots out a story about it.
No, I never called them immoral. I said that "their fundimental philosophies are incompatible with what I consider moral".
And yes, as a voter, you *should* make a judgment on such things in order to decide who to choose. I never said anything about a bullet, I'm just talking ballot.
I consider littering immoral, although usually minor. I hardly advocate, in your words, putting "a bullet through their heads". I'll also tolerate those who believe or say that littering isn't immoral. It doesn't mean I think it is right.
That's exactly why I don't like the Democrats. I consider them to be racist, religiously intolerant, dismissive of other ideas and as a whole, arrogant. They tend toward legislation of mandatory morals. I dislike that intently.
There are people who do the same in the Republican party, like the jackasses who want to say that two women or two men can't be defined as a family. But that's a superficial aspect of of the party, and that's exactly what I would like removed. The intolerance of the Democrats is fundimental to the party's core concepts.
Some people regard the Republicans as being more salvagable than the Democrats. That is to say: with a libertarian bent, the Republicans need to lose the neo-cons and the uber-religious right and they become much more in line with what we're looking for. The Democrats have their loony contingent as well, but their fundimental philosophies are incompatible with what I consider moral.
Of course, like the grandparent poster, I'm in a state that has totally committed to a candidate (California, in my case, so it's Kerry), so I'm likely voting for Badnarik.
Samus was a woman the entire game. She just wore a powersuit until after the game was finished, at which point she got out and wore a bikini (depending on how quickly you finished the rather long game[1]). She's actually considered to be one of the first strong action women in video games, often compared to Ripley from Alien.
[1] Long is both subjective and locked to the era in which the game came out. Don't bother arguing on this one; you think it was short, fine.
Documented technical failures are scientific successes. Of course, I have no idea how well Biosphere 2 was run as a scientific experiment, but the fact that it failed could have provided loads of scientific information.

As opposed to those of us who don't misrepresent a game for some deep exploration of societal values, and recognize that it's just a bloody form of PLAY and nothing more.
It is a matter of positioning. If I sit down with a light work, say, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I expect some light fun. If I sit down with Critique of Pure Reason, expecting light fun would cause me to think Kant was a terrible author.
In the same sense, games are judged by what they attempt to be. ATITD positions itself as a deep freeform role play game rather than a level climber like UO or EQ.... or a Football game. I'm not looking for depth of role play in Human Occupied Landfill or Super Mario Bros. 3, but there are other niches to fill, other audiences to address.
The few works that transition from one to the other switch audiences. Many people liked the early comedy of MASH, while others liked the later war drama of MASH. It did well throughout the run, but it certainly changed audience when it changed focus.
