Since when is a credit card necessary to travel? I have paid by cash or check every time I have booked a flight other than online, as recently as this year. I of course take your statements to mean you make the stupid travel==flight connection. Busses and trains still exist, afaik.
What we need is government conversion. I guarantee that if speed limits, mile markers, taxes (gas, property, everything), etc were calculated in metric, and government forms had to be filled out in metric, we would be 90% switched in a few years, and completely switched in a single generation.
47(?) states have adopted the UCC, mostly in near complete form. If yours happens to be one of the ones that hasn't, or they left out that chapter, write a nastygram to your local state representative.

Wrong Item? Your own damn fault.
Didn't do what the ads claimed it would do? Their fault. The UCC says they have to give you a refund. No 'restocking fee' allowed. Not only that, but if you have to buy the correct item somewhere else they owe you the difference in cost (see "Cover").
Excellent. I love that counter-argument. People with the 'unfamiliar quirks' argument about Linux seem to ignore the fact that Windows has just as many quirks, but most people have spent years getting used to those quirks.
you could disambiguate "official" by defining it to include any documents defining any practices that the religion in question plans to (or already does) use and argue 'freedom of religion' as their defense/justification.
Except that in the door analogy when you knock on the door a note slides out that says 'come in'. Turning the handle on a normal door is not a request, there is no communication involved. I *ASK* your AP whether or not I can have access. It *ANSWERS* yes. This is not an abstract concept (you might argue that turning the handle is 'asking' the door for entry, a horrible analogy), it is an actual series of communications involving a request and acknowledgement giving permission to access as well as the information required to extend access (to the internet).
Battle for Wesnoth is hardly a ripoff, no more so than Ogre Tactics was a ripoff of Might and Magic.
BZFlag predates almost every modern 3D FPS, and by far any FPS with as many gameplay variants as it has.
Maybe you could call Neverball a super monkey ball ripoff, but I dont think so.
Crossfire is an improvement, not a ripoff, and its an improvement of ANOTHER open source game.
As to "any FPS"... which FPS might that be? I cannot recall EVER playing a good FPS on a handheld console. Now that PDAs, and embedded linux devices in general, are getting hardware 3D accelerators you will start to see good ones, but they already exist for the linux platform, making a device that can run the games that already have years of development behind them makes a lot more sense than making devs write new games.
rewritability. flash based devices just dont cut it for some situations. this probably ISNT one of those situations, flash is great for storing the binaries for a game, but i was just making a point.
The number of innovative open source games out there is astounding. I'll put the Debian 'Games/' package section up against any handheld out there (sure, the GB beats it for quantity, but quality?).
therein lies the problem. i dont have a compiler handy, so all these numbers are made up (and obviously not correct or even scaled properly, but should at least be in the right order)... imagine second 100000 is 23:59:59 2006-12-31, 100001 is 00:00:00 2007-01-01, and so on. Then second 104729 would be 11:32:17 2007-02-14. but if a leap second is inserted at the end of 2006 then second 100001 will be 24:59:60 2006-12-31 and second 104729 will be 11:32:16 2007-02-14, and so on. this means an extra special case in the time functions, and a displayed time off by one second for people running old versions of the time libraries.
heh, stop conversing when you call people:) my mother called me last night. the call lasted about 90 seconds, during which she learned i was fine, i learned she got a new job, and i said hi to my younger sister who still lives with her.
Interesting. My phone has T9 entry but I never figured it out. Thanks for the clear instructions, this should make what little typing I do on the keypad a little less frustrating.

because games that require thinking are not very popular. 'strategy' games like starcraft prevail, where the player with the fastest reflexes and best memory (these two units beat a rush of that unit) wins over someone able to actually come up with strategies while playing.
I doubt it. A) OSes... My OS uses a nice list of time zones and DST dates and such. I just edit the file and modify the dates and bam, done. B) BIOS... no way. if your BIOS does DST changes then it is broken.
his cycle was just slightly longer than yours. i did this in college. with proper planning and a few hours of adjustment each week you can hit M/W/F classes on a 30 or 36 hour cycle, and you wouldnt believe how refreshing 12 hours of sleep every "night" can be.
After years of seeing this term in various places this is the first time I have ever seen it used in a context so I could figure out what it meant. Never worth googling, but worth posting about now:)
You obviously did not read the article, or even the summary, or you would have noticed that 7K500 is the model of hard drive. It is most likely 7200 RPM, not 7500 as you ignorantly replied against.
I consider myself a fan of Google, using their labs applications every day for work and play... and I never heard of Picasa. Of course, Google was happy to educate me, but this has come as a bit of a surprise to me.
The original game was called Battlefield. The settings were 1942 and Vietnam (and, through mods, Desert Combat). This game is called Battlefield 2. The setting is contemporary, thus no subtitle, although I expect we will see BF2:WWII and BF2:Vietnam eventually.

More like 80% slower. That means 1/5th the speed. 100% slower would mean it had zero speed.
These are the same people who dont understand the difference in 200% and +200%, and that "50% faster" is the same as "150% as fast"

you can already buy 5GB drives inside CF cards, its just a matter of time before someone manages to squeeze a single 1GB platter inside a SD card.
