Do we have that in North America? Sure, It's called COLLEGE!
"God" is inclusive of the religions you mentioned. It doesn't even have to refer to a diety. For instance, the TV is my God, and the remote died for my sins.
If the pledge said, "One nation, under Jehova," that would only refer to Judeo-Christian beliefs.
One thing you might want to consider when running your Ethernet cable along with your phone (which in normally not in a conduit), is that local fire codes often require that any vertically-running cable be in a conduit or be fire retardant. You really can't get a 1000' spool of good fire retardant 5e cable for $60. Keep in mind that when wiring your house, the cable is probably going to be the least expensive component, but if you screw up and buy crappy cable (that burns like tissue paper or shatters when you try to crimp it), it can quickly become a serious headache and a serious expense.
I wired my (already constructed) house a few years ago with cheap cat5 ($50 a spool) and was later informed by an inspector that, if I ever wanted to sell the house, I'd have to replace or remove the cable that I used.
My suggestion to you is, because your house hasn't been dry walled yet (I assume), run at least one length of conduit to each room (If you want to have two cables going to each room, run one of them along the base of the wall) and use medium-quality cable. If you would rather not pay for conduit, use high-quality fire retardant cable, and talk to an electrician about your local rules and regs.
The HP49g is NOT a great piece of engineering. I've used a 48g for the past 5 years. When I heard of the new 49g I was one of the first to drop $200 to buy one. After only a week a was back to using my old 48g because I realized the 49 is just a colorful TI with an RPN OPTION! Did you notice that RPN is not the default mode, and the buttons are squishy, and the pixels on the screen are BROWN? HP's problem is that they didn't have faith in their (vastly superior) product. They noticed more people were buying TI so they tried to build a TI clone. But people don't want to pay $170 for a TI!
As for me -- I'm going to go out and buy a 48gx as quickly as possible.
My biggest fear is that someday people might be able to spread racy photos of motherboards around the world WITHOUT DETECTION! Will someone PLEASE think of the children.

That would make one kick-ass gravy boat!
Speaking for all Alaskans: we don't want your sweaty-ass here!

It's similar CampZone 2, but indoors...with beer.
"Libertarians shouldn't use the Internet until they're prepared to discuss how a Libertarian society would have ever created it."
I agree completely. Al Gore wouldn't even exist in a libertarian society.
Does 9 cents per KWH mean anything to you? I'll keep my 1.5 cent coal power thank-you-very-much.

Do what WSU does, sell cheap beer ($8/rack or so). People will be more interested in getting drunk than downloading porn/mp3s.
