That describes a fairly large percentage of toilets in Japan, I would love to have one in my house in the US for the water savings. These toilets also come (at a cost) with heated seats, and automated bowl cleaners installed. LLP

This seems to be exactly what the movie/music industry cannot grasp right now. The fact of the matter is that piracy in general operates on a cost:benefit ratio. For example, if a DVD is selling for US$20, then it is worth my time to try to find alternative methods of delivery to my entertainment system. OTOH, sell the same DVD for US$10, and it is not as profitable (time-wise) for me to find an alternative source. LLP

Actually, MSFT has already built it into Media Player 9 in the form of "License Management". It is sure to spread to the OS level in the Longhorn release.
That sucks...I have found tons of my gear in dumpsters (mostly in Tokyo though). It amazes me what people will throw away. Funny though, it's been harder to find decent stuff in the last 2 years; it must be a sign of the times. Randy
I've lived in southern MD for 2 years now and I couldn't agree more, Baltimore has a ton of stuff to do. Can't quite compete with DC, though (I'm cheap and basically everything downtown is free, except for food). As far as the beaches go, you're not missing much, the closest thing to a decent beach would be out in Ocean City. Even then, you might as well just make the trip down to Virginia Beach for the nicer beaches. Randy
So what you're saying is that it's safer for that same car to lose power brakes and steering at 70mph/a predetermined gas level than to send a warning signal and let the vehicle run out of gas on its own? Just checking...

Actually, I live in Waldorf now. You must be talking about the rink behind the Pizza Hut?
