Why even bother blowing up the plane? With airports congested as they are with huge lines of passengers it makes more sense to wheel in a big piece of luggage packed with explosives and blow up a hundred people during a holiday crush. You wouldn't even have to go with it, you could leave it in line while you nicely ask the person behind you to "Please watch it while I go to the bathroom?" then dissapear. You could even trigger a jam in the lines by creating a security event somewhere else ahead of time.
I've actually survived eating food I've dropped while camping, not to mention on clean rugs. I'm more troubled by the leg and back pain I've suffered from being crammed into a tiny airplane seat for hours on end.
Speaking of the constant drive towards cheapo flights. I'd be willing to pay a some more for bigger seats and more legroom. I wish they could do that without having to charge through the roof 1st class prices. Maybe make some flights all first-class style seating and then charge only a small amount more? I don't need the other frills, just the space.
Law enforcement and prisons are big business now too. More laws, longer sentences, more staff and equipment=bigger budgets for agencies and profits for companies. They'll always fight to keep their cash cow growing.

I have a desk with a midtower pc enclosure built into it. I keep the door open when I have it on (for airflow, the back is open too) and close it when I'm done. Very clean looking. The enclosure also makes the pc almost silent.
What is an Assault and Battery?:
A battery is any physical contact with another person, to which that other person has not consented.
An assault is basically an attempt at a battery.
Proving You Were Assaulted:
Many times cases of assault turn on whether the threatened harm was "imminent," meaning how soon was the threatened thing supposed to happen. This is the difference between someone about to hit you now versus someone who says they will hit you tomorrow.
The fear of an assault must also be "reasonable." This means that if you were threatened with a water gun and you knew it was a water gun it is probably not "reasonable" for you to fear it.
Proving You Were Battered:
The battery must have been "intentional." This means that the person meant to throw something or meant to swing their arm.
The harm does not have to be intended for the victim. Merely doing an intentional act is enough to commit a battery.
If they are looking directly at the physical groove then I wonder where the hiss is coming from. Is it inherent in the grooves and does a needle create a natural dampening effect when played normally?
I agree they shouldn't spend millions on a mass digitization effort until they improve the audio quality.
I just get sick of the constant Middle East reporting (BBC is guilty of it too). I know it is improtant but they seem to spend 99% of their time on that one area of the world. There is news occuring elsewhere in the world, right?
That attack was clearly carried out by enemies of Oceania, specifically Emmanuel Goldstein and Eurasia! Please take comfort in the security measures now in place on Airstrip One.

Thanks for the link. Any idea what the average extra cost is vs economy? (roughly)

I see a booming market in counterfit license plates coming soon.
"while sitting at a desk"
Doesn't that defeat the whole point of being portable?
That is what your foot is for.

Rent "Pulp Fiction" and watch the kidnapping scene. That'll answer your question and some you didn't think to ask.
He bought a list of men who subscribed to "Macy's Balloon and Blimp Fetish" magazine.
As examples, the Soviet Union under Stalin had Lysenkoism and attacks on Soviet aircraft developers.

You didn't even tell us your captcha.
So no power efficiency modes (i.e hibernate) for you then?

This is really exciting tech. I'd love to have access to a library of this. It is the closest to a time machine I'll probably ever get.

"Mr. President, we must gain control of Africa's algae reserves before the Chinese do. We must not allow an algae gap!"
I hear they are also designing an army powered by blind ambition.
I wish there was a way to get it to work in Win XP. DOS Box maybe?
Windows=Kiddie Porn? Sounds like those ads that claim pot=terrorism. A bit of a stretch.
Plus gmail has mail content sensitive ads. So are they getting ads for credit card number websites and rootkits now?
