    1) unlikely and pain in the ass to catch since lots of stuff sets off the detectors.
    2) define weapon? I bet I could kill a man with a pen if I wanted.
    3) how you plan on finding those?
    4) or maybe I am nervous because I hate having the TSA hassle me.

    The reality is terrorism is such an edge case we would do better by spending all this money on fixing our roads. We would save many times as many lives per million dollars spent.

    Just like people carrying drugs in their cars might suddenly get angry and combative with police about being pulled over "for no good reason".

    Who told you that nonsense?
    They don't. The people moving drugs use rental cars, since the car can get seized, and they tend to do the speed limit or right around it. If they get a ticket they are as nice as possible, no reason to want to attract attention. Your average methhead does not of course fit the description I gave, but that is because he is a moron meth user not someone moving large amount of drugs for profit.

    Or SO I HEARD.

    Poker is different. At a fair game the house only gets a fixed cut no matter who wins. You are paying the house to hold the game and the players are competing against each other not the house.

    As a sort of serious gamer I would have bought it but I need to build a new PC. I agree this is to reach the non-hardcore market.Hopefully it works in wine as well as Portal does.

    I take option 3, not working there.

    Python could be nice, if it ignored whitespace/indentation. Also if it had its own version of CPAN.

    Even my phone has 256MB of ram, and its replacement will have at least 1GB. Remind me again why this is a problem?

    What is up with embedded devices having less than 64MBs of ram?

    Hydro makes tons of power, and if we did not worry so much about the fish we could make a lot more. Solar energy will run out. That thing is burning up its supply of hydrogen and helium. We might only have millions of years left.

    You answered your own question already it looks like. All phones can currently be rooted. Replacing the kernel on some phones is not possible, but you can always make an kernel module so that you can chainload another kernel. Replacing the kernel is not needed to gain root, only for custom roms.

    No, they extended it to make it not interoperability with the real Java, with the intention of removing any sort of portability. They then had to settle with sun and using the patents they licensed as part of this settlement created C#.
