not to mention that herbal cigarettes (at least Extacy brand, which is made with catnip and wild lettuce, among other things of the legal herbal nature ) make people think you're smoking something else--they smell like marijuana, and are a pain to explain when smoking in public.
Sorry if I was unclear, I didn't want to confuse non-New Yorkers with subway/bus line names. My friend took the JB62 (schedule available here) from Jones Beach to Freeport, then the LIRR train from Freeport to Penn Station, then went from Penn to Grand Central to get the MetroNorth to New Rochelle. So yes, she did start outside of the city entirely (Jones Beach being in Long Island and technically not within the bounds of NYC). My point was that, since all of this is operated by the MTA, it would be nice if she could have used a metrocard for everything.
I'd love to even see all of New York's transit integrated. Example: Last night a friend had to get a bus (which accepts the MTA metrocard) to a train (Long Island Rail Road, part of MTA but no metrocard) to a subway (6 line, definitely takes MTA Metrocard) to another train (Metro North, have to buy a ticket). I think we need to get all of our transit taken care of before branching out into other fields.
i'm a mac user and happy to report that there is not a trace of celine to be found anywhere near me and I"m currently listening to Dead Kennedys' "MTV (get off the air)"
While I personally spend more time on the web (combo of having more work-related things to do online and not having to worry about tying up my phone line since I got DSL), I think some people spend less time online because some dotcoms that they actually used have since died. I used both kozmo and urbanfetch (still get a little nostalgic whenever i see one of their former deliverymen riding their bike around with their company messenger bags). believe it or not, some people actually did use petopia and the like. maybe their spending those seven minutes actually (gasp!) going to a store in person.
The labs where I went (NYU) were Windows machine, and there are "internet-only" iMacs in the lounges. My intro to programming class was taught in C and we were told explicitly to use Borland C++, but were also given telnet accounts on a Unix machine.
sorry, somewhat OT:
As per the child actors(in the US at least):
this is why we have so many movies with 28-year olds parading around as 15 year olds: child labor laws restrict the number of hours that minors can work, which pisses off the studios, so they hire people who are over 18 to play teenagers. minors are also required to have some sort of supervsion (and often tutors, which cuts into filming time. i think schooling age varies form state to state, but in most places you must be in school or tutoring of some sort up to age 16). there are very few emancipated child actors because in becoming independent they and their parents lose some rights. this is also why so many parts for extremely young characters (any body remember Full House?) have to be cast with twins.
my understanding of the matter is that the "artist" owns the rights to the song itself (i.e. the lyrics and notes and arrangement of them) but the record company owns the rights to the
recording itself. that is, the copy that is on the cd. they are suing over the use of that particular recording because, in most cases, the files traded were ripped from CD recordings. if, however, it is a recorded live bootleg or something along those lines, the record company (to my knowledge) has no control over it.

Well, there is no necessary connection between sci-fi/fantasy and tech geekdom, but there tends to be a big overlap.
true. I also know many people who are big SW fans but don't know anything about technology other than what their work requires them to be able to do.

yeah you're right. Sarah Flannery actually cracked it herself. link here.
