5. Find alternate routes on surface roads that avoid freeway congestion. I knew a secret route between West Hollywood and Downtown LA that took only 15 minutes, freeway drivers can't even get off at the downtown exits in 15 minutes.
What is it, what is it? I usually take San Vicente to Venice or La Cienega to 10. Is there a better way??

Oh, yes, I just love what L.A. is doing with smog lately. It's simply incredible. Words can't describe it. Far better than Houston or Mexico City could ever hope for.
I'm beginning to think Duke Nukem Forever was just one big joke from the start. There is no game development company 3D Realms. It's 2 guys with a website seeing how long they can fool the world into thinking they're actually working on a game, and how many vaporware awards they can win.
Aren't trucks and buses responsible for most of the particulate emissions (aka smog) in big cities even though they are fewer in numbers than cars? I don't really know if this is true, I just remember reading something like that.

Punctuation not including spaces, those are obviously pretty important for word searches. But sure a good spam filter would be a lot more complicated than simply removing the punctuation and searching for words.
I'm waiting for this one. Feasible compared to fusion and a nice alternative to earth pollution. Sim City 2000 anyone? And without the microwave-zapping incidents too.
Jerry: What do you mean he's bootlegging the movie? Kramer: Well, it's a perfectly legitimate business. Jerry: It's not legitimate. Kramer: It's a business.
Jerry: I don't care about Brody. I was up on 96th Street today, there was a kid couldn't have been more than ten years old. He was asking a street vendor if he had any other bootlegs as good as Death Blow. That's who I care about. The little kid who needs bootlegs, because his parent or guardian won't let him see the excessive violence and strong sexual content you and I take for granted.
George: I'm a bootlegger. Anna: You're a what? George: I'm bootleggin' a movie, baby! Anna: Isn't that illegal? George: I can do hard time for this one. And community service!
Frank: I'm sitting at home, reading a periodical, and this is the call I get? My son is a bootlegger? (He hits George in the head) George: Ow! Dad... Frank: Who put you up to this, was it her? Elaine: All right. Wait a minute. I think you've got it backwards. Frank: My George isn't clever enough to hatch a scheme like this. Elaine: You got that right. Frank: What the hell does that mean? Elaine: It means whatever the hell you want it to mean. Frank: You sayin' you want a piece of me? Elaine: I could drop you like a bag of dirt. Frank: You wanna piece of me? You got it!
Yeah I waste my time reading endless discussion forums and random websites. And reloading Slashdot over and over so I can get that FP.;-) I must be an internet and information addict; isn't step one admitting your addiction? I can quit any time I want, really!
Also let me add that China's buying of dollars pointed out in this post much in the form of purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds helps keep the massive U.S. budget deficit financed. So it would be wise for the Bush administration to solve that problem first before demanding that China revalue its currency and stop accumulating dollars. China is not the only country with economic policy problems. The dollar is falling which is not a bad thing in itself, but it will be A Bad Thing(tm) if it crashes; at least someone wants dollars.
It's true that China artificially manipulates its currency, but China revaluing or floating its currency could end up hurting the Chinese economy, and possibly the global economy indirectly, more than keeping the current fixed exchange rate. Chinese exports would become more expensive if the yuan appreciated, hurting Chinese businesses reliant on exports, which is to say a good deal of them and thus the general economy. Chinese industry would be further hurt by increased costs for imported raw materials.
Furthermore, as an article in the August 25, 2003 BusinessWeek points out:
The more fundamental risk is that breaking the yuan peg would shatter faith in China's currency stability, with big consequences for the mainland economy. Stanford University economist Ronald I. McKinnon argues China's dollar overhang is so huge that dollar-selling in China might feed on itself. Beijing might have to revalue upwards not just once, but several times--with dire results for exports and eventually domestic demand and prices. "Once people get the idea the yuan will always be higher next year, you get intense deflationary pressure," McKinnon says. "This is exactly what happened to Japan 10 or 15 years ago," when Tokyo strengthened the yen at U.S. urging.
Japan of course had more of a bubble when that happened, but deflation in the Japanese economy is still one of its biggest problems today. Instability in an economy as large as China's could easily spread, and at this time revaluation could simply exacerbate the labor problems in the Chinese economy by hurting Chinese industry, making the demand for and cost of labor in China even less than it is now. While it could help U.S. manufacturing in the short-term, it will come at consumers' expense, and in the long-term could in fact be detrimental; in any case the fundamental problem here is not China but those in the U.S. unwilling to accept the inevitability of globalization with cheaper overseas labor and the phasing out of manufacturing in the U.S. These are not things we should fear, as many modern-day Luddites would try to make people believe; they are beneficial to everyone in the long run, but that is a different discussion.

Uh, because they cost $100-200?! Nah, that couldn't be it...

R.a..n,d,o.,m p,u,,n,c.t,,u_a.t.1..0.n makes it nearly impossible to block spam messages by filtering keywords.
Can't the spam filters just remove it all? They don't really need the punctuation to check for Viagra advertisements anyway.

Reminds me of Seinfeld episode 137:
