I own two newer GM vehicles, there is some truth to this.
You can easily add an after market stereo, although you will need an adapter. You can get one for about $30, although your door chime won't work (Which isn't necessarily a bad thing). An adapter that keeps the door chime working is about $80.
One nice thing about the newer GM radios though is that the radio stores the VIN in the radio. You can disconnect the power as many times as you want, and the radio will always work, as long as it is installed in the vehicle that it came out of. You don't have to worry about remembering a code like in most other car stereos.
If so few people are changing their own oil, why does WalMart have an entire isle of nothing but oil filters and oil? If they were selling that little of oil change supplies, they wouldn't have so much floor space dedicated to it.
I would argue that windows have become far less efficient at cooling car interiors than in the past.
Have you ever driven an older car that has wing windows? Or how about one that has vents that you can open, that let fresh air blow right on your lap/torso area.
My first car was a 57 Ford sedan that had both of those, and growing up in a desert area of Southern California, it did a good enough job of keeping me cool that I never wished for a car with air conditioning.
Modern cars are very noisy with their windows open, and don't provide a good stream of fresh air moving through the cabin without using the climate control system.
Another superior aspect of Ubuntu's software repository is its system-wide software update abilities. When I log into Ubuntu, it tells me that there are x number of updates available for the software on my computer. With just a few clicks, I can have all of my programs updated to the latest version. There is NOTHING like that built into Windows. Who knows how many of the programs on any given Windows machine are an old version.
The desert states are more in the South West (Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, parts of California). The part that you're thinking of is the Great Plains area, which is mostly flat prairie. It a lot of farming, but virtually no deserts. The Eastern half of Montana is usually considered part of the great plains, while the Western half is in the Rocky Mountains, and is very rugged terrain. Montana is actually Spanish for "Mountain".
The "conservative crap" that you're referring to is probably the Bible Belt, which includes the Southern part of the Great Plains, but also stretchs across most of the South East part of the United States.
From my own videos that I put up months ago for fun, I am still getting people messaging me asking me how they can set up their system like mine (which I put up to annoy my girlf) So what annoys your girlfriend more? Posting videos of your desktop to youtube, or referring to her as your 'girlf'?:)
Considering that section 3.d.iii of their MSDN code license (Covers the code samples on the MSDN site) specifically disallows you from using any of their code on non-windows platforms, I'd say their position on cross platform compatibility is crystal clear.
But try the local pawn shops and thrift stores. Most of the ones around here have at least one or two computers from that era sitting in there, that the owner would probably be willing to sell for $10 bucks or so. Maybe you'll get lucky, and find one with the sound card that you're wanting.
I know it's a long shot, but if you've been searching for 15 years, it might be worth it.
Never mind those of us that live in rural areas. Google maps is the only online mapping service that is even near close to being correct in our neighborhood, and up until a few months ago they were extremely inaccurate.
I seriously doubt they will be driving 30 minutes on an unpaved road to come photograph my home, and the handful of other homes where I live.
The US prices are generally listed without tax. However, our sales tax rates are generally far less than 22%. I think the highest sales tax rates are usually 8-9%, and there are still several states that have no sales tax at all.
Lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors.
Hitler agrees. Let's burn all the games we don't agree with.
On another note, doesn't that describe just about every kids show on TV now? What literary, artistic, political or scientific value does "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" or "The Doodlebops" have? No one is trying to ban those (Unfortunately).
I'd be tempted to pick one up for $300 to play with myself... Hey, you can play with yourself without a $300 laptop. Kids everywhere have been doing that for free, for thousands of years.
My daily commute takes me through about 20 miles of unpaved back roads in Montana. During the summer months, they're covered in a loose gravel/sand/dirt combination that makes the ABS a huge liability. During the winter, it covered in powdery snow that has the same effect.
I wound up taking my ABS fuse, blowing it, and putting it back in the fuse holder to disable the system, and to also keep the insurance company from asking questions about why I had disabled it, in case I'm in an accident.
An override switch from the factory would be a much better solution.
The constitution is for protecting the citizens, not every joe blow who crosses the border. Funny, I always thought the Declaration of Independence said "All men are created equal", not "All citizens of the US are created equal"...

Actually, I do get broadband out in podunk Montana. It costs me $100/month for a 1.5/Mbit down 192Kbit up connection, but I do get broadband.
No kidding. I'd be willing to bet that quite a few individual WalMarts sell more than 13,900 regular DVDs in a month.

See, you learn something new every day
Maybe you're thinking of the Montana Freemen?
Why don't you ask Randy Weaver how that worked out for his family? http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/cops _others/randy_weaver/1.html

So in other words he's a lawyer with dreams of becoming a politician?
Fixed that for you....
So in other words he's a typical slashdotter?

What you're missing is that the comparison I made to MA & Hitler was meant to be taken in humor. Hence the "/Godwined?" at the end of my comment :)

I'm guessing that if you have a realdoll, cheating isn't a big problem.
