Seriously - try living somewhere else. I work in Baltimore after living in Chicago for 20+ years and I would kill to have Chicago's level of inefficiency and ineptness compared to the crack-tards running this city.
The Conflict is not between big city/small town/rural areas but between us and the telco's. We've agreed to surcharges to provide us with fiber broadband and they have not come through. Universal access to broadband today is as important as universal telephone service was in the 30's, 40's and 50's.
Write your Congressman - demand accountability from the telcos.
Bankrate.com shows Pulaski Bank & Trust offering a 7.99% card.
Yes, I recognize Pulaski doesn't donate money to Linux, but if you carry a balance, save yourself the money and donate directly to the project you want to support.
If you don't carry a balance and never intend to, these rewards cards are probably just as good as any.
DNS BL? DNS blacklist. Same number of syllables. DNS makes sense since it is only three syllables instead of "do-main name ser-vice (or Sys-tem)" which is 5 syllables.
But BL for Blacklist? Nah.
Nonsense. You think the MAcs are made of magical material that doesn't break?
Newsflash, skippy - almost all the parts for both come from the same small pool of manufacturers, mostly in Taiwan. Apple actually makes almost nothing. They contract out. Saying the Acer will break and you can jump up and down on the MacBook just demonstrates your ignorance.
You're right that you can't put a pricetag on gullibility. Your own.
Let non-UKians pay for a TV license and get access to all the online services. £135.50/year to get access to all of BBC programming and that massive back catalog? I'd certainly consider it.
Blame the user and tell him he's lazy for not understanding crap that just gets in the way of getting work done.
It's easier and more efficient to ask "paper or plastic" than to follow that up with "paper made from wood pulp or grasses?" "recycled wood pulp or all-new?" "paper from hardwood or from softwood?" "Made from trees from the Northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere?" "Bleached or natural?" "Logo printed on or blank?"
Sure, some people will want all these decisions, but they shouldn't be a requirement of the OS. Solve the Gnome/KDE nonsense and you'll see Linux propagate much more than it already is.
Playing a game is not equal to "work". Really. Plus, if I understand it right, this is a program that helps cheat at the game. That's certainly not "work" as I understand it.
Hoorah, I'm 143rd level, I must be cool in the eyes of my peers. Nevermind I cheated like a demon to get here.
You don't have to play WoW. Really. You lived without it before and you'll live without it after. Politely tell Blizzard why you are leaving them, and then leave.
If you're not willing to do that, this obviously isn't THAT important to you.
Remember, AT&T isn't AT&T of old. I don't know for certain, but I'd guess a lot of the old AT&T intellectual property is shared by the RBOC descendents like USWest er, Qwest, PacBell -er AT&T, Nynex -er Verizon, Bell Atlantic -er Verizon, Bell South -er AT&T, Ameritech -er AT&T, and Southwestern Bell -er AT&T.
It's a numbers game. They lose $5 on you and dozens of others but they make $30,000 on some obscure domain that suddenly becomes important (like FireLouPinella.com will be by the end of the Cubs season).

California receives back $0.79 for every $1.00 it sends to Washington, making one of the ten biggest net contributors to the federal budget.

You should visit Moore's own site where he effectively refutes every claim made against F9/11.
How do we prevent the contamination of our precious bodily fluids?

15.4" Aspire notebook, WXGA, Centrino mobile 512Mb RAM, $399. You can't buy a Mac mini without kb, monitor, mouse for that much.
Macs are great, but they cost.
Because it sure sounds familiar...

Hmm. Maybe they ARE the AT&T of old.
The transistor. The silicon wafer. Internet porn.
So book resellers aren't a commodity business these days? It is to laugh.
GATTACA. Great movie.
21% gross margins? I know a lot of computer manufacturers that would kill for 21% margins. Dell runs about 18%.
Why is your fowl sic? Does your chicken have bird flue? Doesn't it get drafty?

Lots of good music, more major artists every day, and approx. 25 cents/song, variable rate mp3, no DRM.
I'm a little ga-ga over them at the moment.
