It may be different in New York, but I know that in my state (VA) confiscating IDs is illegal. Obviously there's little you can do if they take a fake ID (call the cops? good luck) but they're SUPPOSED to just say "I can't accept this" and give you back the ID.
Zelda is amazing. Easily the best of the series to date.
Excite Truck is the best driving game I've ever played. (Best here meaning most fun, NOT realistic).
Paper Mario is said to be great, although I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet.
Also, I find it hard to take you seriously when you conclude that all titles are/will be disappointments and you haven't played Zelda. How could you not get that when you bought the console? The reviews were too high?
How is it redundant? the "for one" it just a description of "one" (an appositive phrase). Typing "for one" is essentially letting the reader know that at least ONE person ("I") believes the following. Assuming the rest of your hypothetical statement was "believe...".
Actually reminds me of a Mark Twain quote. I can't be bothered to look it up and see if that's true or not though. (And the English badly part was going the other way).
They wouldn't necessarily lose 30% of their ad revenue. You give Google a set amount of money/day and they display ads until that money runs out (each click costing $X). If you don't cout the 30% fraudulent clicks you'd probably get at least some more real clicks each day as your ads would still be showing up (instead of already taken down due to click fraud).
A NYT reviewer said it was his favorite out of all six... and he WANTED to say it was bad. He thought the first two prequels didn't come close to the original trilogoy and was fully expecting RotS to be the same. But it ended up being his favorite and I am now looking forward to it.
Why is it a big deal? Wouldn't it look a little silly for a Hobbit to go toe-to-toe with a human? I think this is a good idea, though if I were the developers I'd try to have a couple more classes per race.
How are they "not getting it"? It doesn't look like they're actually excluding other articles, they're just putting MSNBC first. If I was in their position I'd do the same thing. If Google was in their position THEY would do the same thing.
It is ridiculous to ask any company to be completely unbiased. They're trying to turn a profit, and putting MSNBC at the top of the list helps.
BTW, it would be a different story (and more typical Microsoft behavior) if they ONLY showed MSNBC articles sometimes. As long as they show the articles from competitors they're being quite fair.
Says who? I installed the Toolbar so I could seach with google just by clicking at the top of my screen. Pop-up blocking was just a nice bonus I didn't even know I was going to get.
Only if the game lasted a few hours. You don't start to dream right when you fall asleep; it's something like increments of 90 minutes after you fall asleep. For instance, fall asleep at 12:00 and you'd dream at 1:30, 3:00, 4:30, etc.
Motorola T721. I've got one, like it, and most people who are looking for a PHONE will too because:
1) It's got a built in ringtone that sounds like a phone (not a musical piece, it's "ring-ring... ring-ring..."), One of my friends recently got a new (Nokia) phone and it DOESN'T HAVE A BASIC RING! I couldn't stand it if my phone played a song instead of just ringing.
2) No camera.
3) Good battery life. I usually charge it up 1 or 2 times a week (but one of those charges is usually before the weekend so I know it'll be on the whole time).
4) Light, small, looks good. (Basic... understated simple design, I like it).

IDIOTIC.
Anyone who's going to be shredding documents wouldn't use unshreddable paper.

Annoying? Possibly.
To a certain extent. But don't forget the authors WROTE the damn thing. At a very basic level all the mistakes are theirs.

That's essentially what one of my (former hippie) teachers said, quote:
"When I watched 2001 in the theater you could see the smoke billowing up in front of the screen."
I assume he didn't mean cigarettes.

The name for a new Google IM service would have to be Gchat (continues the theme of Gmail).
I don't know for sure, but I'd be willing to bet there aren't enough blacks in the NHL to fill a full roster.
I call BS. Whenever I steal a car I ALWAYS try the handle first. All good thieves do.
Didn't Cheney get a pacemaker already? He's already part machine.

Wouldn't "known as" be more appropriate? At least I hope so, otherwise his parents gave him a very unhappy childhood.

Why?
(I mean, what do you need cash for there?)
Fair enough. Care to tell me where I went wrong?
I imagine the MLA would add a new format to its list in order to accomodate this.
"However, for the dwindling read population such as you and me, it is a neat thing."
Bingo (I think. It would be funny if I messed that up).
And in reply to a post a couple posts above mine:
The ability to read and think critically and the ability to use proper grammar don't necessarily coexist.

Controlling cars with your mind and moving a ball are hardly comparable. This isn't even "mind control" it's just seeing who can relax more.
Actually it's over 40k after all your other expenses are added up. (30k maybe for tuition alone, but then you add room and board to get to 40k).
