Mate, you just need a 5 bucks adapter, and an app from the store (IIRC it's called Nexus Media Importer), and you can watch all the movies you want from a USB dongle. No root needed. Sooner or later they will learn that you can't charge 100 bucks for more RAM, meanwhile let's just do it the smart way.
I don't understand how it is possible that the driver had to pay less thank 1k. In Italy we have penal sanctions that are too low, for this kind of crime, but the civil penalties can run in the hundreds of thousands, in fact you MUST have insurance to drive to cover them just in case. Don't you have compulsory insurance in the USA?
Back in July 2001, the G8 in Genoa (which became infamous for the incidents between the police and the protesters) had an early controversy when SAMs (I think it was the Spada system with Aspide missiles) were placed at the airport to prevent against air attacks. Also, the port hosted a couple of destroyers with the very similar Albatross system (same munition) during the meeting. This was discussed in the local newspaper, with some people criticizing the deployment and others making fun of it. Two months later there was 9/11. I wonder if those people reconsidered; probably they pretended to forget.
I am pretty surprised that in America people still have that strange idea that the Scriptures are to be taken literally. I live in Italy, which is after all the cradle of Cristianity, and I went to a religious private school; Several of the teachers were religious men, having taken vows, etc. During the discussions about religion, never was I told that the Genesis is to be taken literally. In fact, I recall that I was told the contrary, that the stories in there are meant as metaphores. After all, Jesus used to express his ideas with moral tales, so why that specific part should be interpreted literally fails me.
You've got to be kidding... Format / DRM considerations apart, the current Kindle (as well as many other devices, but I speak of what I have) is at least on par with a paper book for clarity. Page turns are fast, it's easier to search, easier to use one-handed (on public transportation, for example, where I do most of my reading), easier to look for a word (English is not my mother language) and generally more practical than a book. The best endorsment is probably that since I have gotten it, my reading time has increased, and I have always read quite a lot. Ah, that was several months ago, so it's not the love of a new gadget... It's that good.
There is no doubt AT ALL that there was a raid on something, if only b/c of the fire, crashed helicopter, of which there is independent confirmation. For the rest, feel free to believe in conspiracies. I'd rather take Occam's Razor.
For reading fiction I will take an e-ink over an LCD every day, and the lack of color doesn't matter. The Kindle is not a tablet, but it's very good at what it does. Current LCD screens just don't cut it, if you read outdoors (as I often do).
Probably it really depends on where you live... Believe me, I NEED some damp in the winter, else with all the books I have the air becomes very dry when the wind from the south-west blows strong. And no, natural gas is NOT cheap here;) Genoa, Italy, BTW
Nah, when it's cold / rainy I just hang my clothes inside, close (but not too much) to the wall heater (don't know the word for that, sorry), and they dry up just fine.
If your gear isn't good enough, properly enchanted and gemmed, you don't bring supplies and you haven't bothered reading up ahead on bosses, you have no business raiding ICC, period. Gearing up is pretty easy nowadays, making gold is even easier, so there are no excuses: run heroics, prepare ahead, then step in and by all means most everybody will recognize your effort and help you; if you slack, by all means expect everybody to be shitty about it. Raiding should be for everybody, but ONLY if they are prepared to make an effort.
I believe you are right (just checked the "official" spelling), though in Italy we have always used Tienanmen. After all, it's just a translation of a word in another language with different characters... Mistakes do happen. Let's hope that it stays uncensored. Regards
My Toyota Yaris does (GPS-speed) about 3 km/h less than what the speedometer shows, which is actually quite good, as the typical error is about 10 km/h or so.
Never had any problem with "engine surges". I don't have cruise control nor an automatic stick, here in Italy cars typically have gear sticks.
A less-than-2-hour battery life is a huge problem for a machine touting itself as an ultra-portable. Everything else on these new models are pretty much spot-on. But a short battery life sort of defeats the purpose, methinks, unless their slogan is "Take it anywhere, just not too far from an outlet." Actually, on Xandros, I got about 2h 30' while watching a movie (with the loudspeaker on and monitor at 100%, reading the file from a USB disk) and about 4 hours or so using Open Office during a meeting. I still have to see what happens on Xp.

What DRM? This isn't the DRM you are looking for.

Ok, I know trhat Italians are lazy, criminal and stupid (or so the Italians on this thread keep telling us)
They are free to believe that. I, on the other hand, have a rather higher opinion of myself :D

It's rm -rf /bin/laden actually.

> In Japan it's actually unusually to have a dryer
Only in the USA folks spend $$$ for something that the sun gives you for free... And ruin their clothes in the process.

"are" -> "am"
Sorry about that
I, for one, are certainly not ashamed. But I admit I might be biased as well... As well as nearly everybody around :D
> the only italians that voted and will vote again for Berlusconi are:
you Sir, are dead wrong, I am afraid
"most Italians you know"
Have you ever heard of the Shy Tory Factor?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shy_Tory_Factor
Also, there is the fact that most people dissatisfied with something or someone DO express their opinion, while most people who ARE satisfied, DON'T
BTW I am one of those who vote Berlusconi.

that's because it's "tiEnanmen", not "tiAnanmen"

On difficult ground, press on.
On encircled ground, devise strategies.
On death ground, fight!
Not true!
Here in Soviet Russia,
drivers distract mobile phones!
There are no dangerous weapons, only dangerous men.
