You forgot about tourism being the biggest industry.
Much of europe, and of course Spain, are linked with very good railway system. A link to North Africa will boost tourism to both the countries as one has to travel to Spain enroute to Africa.
Lets not forget other possible usage of the link, like transportation of goods, etc.
With this kind of solution to getting gals, one will forever be a typical geek and just having to self-help in the sexual satisfaction department for life./me ducks
Really really good turning radius and compact storage, for example, you can probably fit on in an elevator and take it all the way up to your 37th floor apartment.
It's been suggested that since women has a pair of gene X and men only a single X and a single Y. Damages done over the years to our genes via mutation and radiation exposure eventually takes a tool on male more than female since men don't have the luxury of duplicated the copies.
I consistently find more dust on my monitor screen, which acts like an electrostatic filter anyway.
It is really almost next to useless, and I can't take their commercial that quotes NY Times saying indoor air pollution is 5 times worse than outdoor air pollution, unless they are looking at CowboyNeal's basement.
There are no OS/2 specific viruses in circulation but OS/2 computers can still be affected:
* Macro viruses that infect Word, Excel and other Windows mode applications can spread as usual.
* Boot sector viruses can affect the master boot sector, the OS/2 boot sector and the Boot Manager.
* DOS executable file viruses can run on OS/2 systems and infect other DOS executables.
* Any type of file can be stored on an OS/2 server and could infect a vulnerable workstation.
So yes, there are hacks that will affect OS/2, though they might not target OS/2 exclusively.
I believe that in some countries banks actually install a camera in every ATM they own. They simply take a video or a snapshot of the person making transaction with the machine.
I think this is pretty good idea to record frauds, false claims, and extortions in front of the machine. Personally I don't have a privacy issue in this case.
I can see that sometimes the claims of damage in online crimes can be ridiculously high. However, if the claims of damage is reasonable, I don't see why the punishment should be any lesser than any other crime.
I think white-collar criminals are already getting far less punishments than they should. How could someone who screws up the millions of dollars from their employees be subjected to punishment comparable to shoplifters or burglars?
Another analogy of the statistic drawn from the article is winning a hand of Black Jack versus winning the slot machine.
While you almost have a 50% probability to win the next hand in the card game, your probablity of winning anything out of the slot machine is far slimmer. However, due to higher payback of the slot machine, the statistic of you winning at the end of the day is still ~90 cents on every dollar played, depending on how the game is set up.
Same can be extended to lottery, but the odds are much lower compared to casino games in general, other than Keno.
Exploring space and developing new ways of traveling through space is the only way we can ensure that the human race survives the coming centuries or millennia. Some day Earth is going to be devastated by a meteor. Some day our sun will run out of helium to burn and expand into a red giant, boiling away our oceans. If we have colonies in other solar systems, humanity will survive.
I am not so sure we will even survive that long considering the rate at which we are using the planet in such a non sustainable way. Most species would not survive more than a couple dozen million years. Modern human is a very young species, merely some 100 thousand years old (from the last mitochondrial eve). It remains to be seen if we can be mature enough to 'evolve' into a sustainable way of life.
I totally agree with the parent poster. I graduated from St. Cloud State about 2 years ago. The school had to introduced the plus and minus system just because pretty much everybody was getting an A in education.
Things were, however, very different in Computer Science department. In most classes, As usually only represent less than 15% of the students, Bs and Cs dominates, while Ds and Fs are not that rare either.
By the way, anybody looking to hire a software engineer?:)
I'm a little disappointed with this release... Many of us are breathlessly awaiting an Ericson / sony style crossover, in the hopes of picking up a very stylish, very functional treo mp3 equivalent.
9 US Dollars is a very steep price for people who earns, on average, less than $6000 a year.
Imagine having a salary of $24,000 a year and the price of a CD is $36!
The prices of CDs in many Asian countries are already way too high. When audio cassettes were still around, they were around $2-3 each while the CDs are $6-7, now the CDs shot up to $9 and the cassettes are all but history.
You are partly right, however, stations are able to sell their call sign to any region in the country. Hence there are some odd ball stations with the 'wrong' call signs with regard to their physical location.

Apple Stores aren't the only vendor selling Apple Hardware, go to your local CompUSAs or Microcenters, they carry alot of Apple hardwares.

Your 83 is respectable, my 65 just means that I have no life outside minesweeper.

You work for bestbuy, don't you?
I've been testing it on my PEG T615C Clie and it works great, SONY have this enhanced IR port built into the little devil.
help me find that yellow snow flake?
Well, taken from http://www.sophos.com/support/faqs/savos2.html:

Never read that slashdot thread "Advice You Would Give to Your 12 Year-Old Self?", you will learn about links such as that you should never visit.
Darn, made the same mistake yet again!
Sometiems I feel that the overstatement of damanges should be a crime in itself.
I can see that sometimes the claims of damage in online crimes can be ridiculously high. However, if the claims of damage is reasonable, I don't see why the punishment should be any lesser than any other crime.

You're obviously new here. There is a constant struggle for first post and RTFA, often the latter lost.

Haven't you heard about the sonyericsson brand?

For example, KISS FM 108 is in Boston.
the implications of this to long endurance sports, such as 24 hr LeMans car racing, ironman triathlon, long range cycling, and so on.
I think currently athletes drink some sort of soups or something to get their calories... just a semi wild guess.
