Wouldn't Troll and be Offtopic by definition? I think that's also true of flamebait to a large degree. I wouldn't be so quick to say that modding those posts as such is inaccurate.
My Dell has a CDRW drive, but I don't really see myself ever using it on battery. Not to mention your point of time consideration, battery usage is also a factor.
That's what I was thinking too. My Dell Inspiron has a 15" screen. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but the weight/size make it more of an all-in-one computer (think imac) than a laptop/portable.
Read Ender's comment . The guy deserves a little slack I think. Also, just to appease my own nitpicking side, you missed many...fans have brought classic...;)
Gotta love knee-jerk reactions, as they seem to be the majority of/. posts. I'm the first to admit that the usual grammar/spelling/punctuation corrections serve only as personal attacks distracting from the issue at hand, but if you had taken the time to actually think about the post, you would realize that this one is completely relevant and called-for. One has to call into question the thinking processes of someone who would completely miss the irony of the original post. Here's a hint: read, think, understand, then post.
Don't where you're getting your numbers from (oh wait, maybe you didn't really have any numbers to go on anyways...), but you might want to reverify them. As of Census 2000, Philadelphia had about 1.5 mil and Detroit had just below a million. Houston I'll give to you at 4.6 mil, but I think that was a lucky guess. Being a Phoenix resident, I know that Phoenix alone has around 1.2 mil, the entire metro area is well over 2 mil. We also have a disproportionately (at least to me) number of very large (20+ theaters) cineplexes, which probably is to compensate for abnormally small cultural demographic I guess. Try being less defensive when you don't really know what you're talking about.
Speaking of the BSA: Did anyone else notice the graphic on the BSA's website of a copyright symbol superimposed over the earth? Maybe I'm just paranoid....
For all its good intentions (I hope...), this sort of database would have likely stopped none of the tragedies of Sept. 11th. This sort of system would be helpful only in the most ideal of worlds, which we all know ours is not. Abuses of this information would be inevitable. And I don't want to even think of the security nightmares resulting from an information cache of this extent being under the direction of our federal beauracracy.
