I always wear gloves to drive. You get a better grip on the wheel and they keep your hands warm (particularly on cold mornings). I have never actually used the glove box to store gloves though, I always keep them in my jacket pockets since if it's cold inside the car, it's cold outside the car and I typically wear them until I'm inside.
I week or two ago I found this
Video from the Bell System's Pavilion at the Seattle World's Fair in 1962. It's fairly interesting and amusing. It shows such advances as touch-tone dialing, pagers, and autodialing.
Bah! I forgot to turn on HTML!

It began with Louis XVI, and Napoleon Although I'm sure the US spied on them they were by no means enemies. You certainly have a point with the other names listed. Louis XVI supported the US in its Revolutionary War by sending la Fayette and also declairing war against Great Britian, I believe that France's naval blockade secured surender at Yorktown. Napoleon did eye America for his growing empire, but ultimately sold France's territorial claims to the US. The US was also at war against the UK simultaneously with the French. Yes I know, there was a Quasi Naval War 1798-1801, but this would be an example of an enemy becoming a friend not the opposite. (Napoleon, although effectively the leader of France, did not crown himself Emporer yet)
Terrorism typically refers to the actions of groups or persons against the state or society and typically its aim is to frighten or punish people. Groups often resort to terrorism because their views are so unpopular that they see the best way for them to acheive their goals is to scare people into apathy and appeasment. It's nothing new, but I don't think that most people would include espionage or intelligence gathering for modern nations as part of their definition, for any country. Be it right or wrong is another issue, but the definitions is not.
Care to remember what speech is considered the start of Cold War and who gave it and where? Are you referring to Churchill's 'Iron Curtain' speech he made at a college in Missouri? He wasn't even PM at the time! I'm sure he wasn't the only person to see the polarization of the powers of the peace. Let's not forget all of the promises Stalin broke and got away with now that he was the only remaining origanal leader from 'the big three'. A speech condemning unilateral Soviet agression pales in compairison to the Berlin Blockade or the Invasion of Czechoslovakia as agressive action.
He tests everything that goes up in space on the shuttle or on the ISS for smelliness, from tennis shoes to teddy bears, and from refrigerators to socks or mascara.
Why exactly is NASA sending up mascara? And do our astronauts really need darker lashes up in space?
Coincidentaly, I believe there have been studies that have consistantly found women to be better smellers than men.
His letter is basically "What's your plan for moving out of your parents' place?"
And he also says: "Where did the money go? I can't really remember where it all went, but I guess "lot of partying" or "Girls, Drugs and Rock'n'Roll" would be a reasonably good explanation. Hey, I was 21 and that's what one is supposed to do at that age, right?"
I don't mean to poop on his party but if you have the money, saving and investing at a young age can get you a lot more money than if you wait to save until after you're 30 and you "want to have a car, a house and a family"
Bah, I just started 1.4 Sunday night! Luckily I didn't start compiling yet, It's a Pentium MMX 166 with 64 MB of RAM, so it would have taken a while to say the least.
I have been doing something similar since I was in elementary school.
I started with some 'security timers' that people use to turn on lamps at night while they are out of town, I just pluged in a lamp, a high-intensity light, a flashing string of Christmas lights, and a radio into the timers (maybe I had one or two in use with extention cords). I also had a few alarm clocks.
Now I just use my digital alarm clock, one light on a timer, and an Alarm Plugin on XMMS (which is set to slowely fade up the volume). Needless to say I'm not a morning person and I need all the help I can get getting out of bed. It works fairly well, it nearly always wakes me up.
I found this article on Freshmeat, Financial Software for Linux that links to some more financial projects availible. I've used GnuCash for a while now for my personal finances and it now has a bunch of business features. It's fairly agreeable and streightforward to use.
I'm amused and depressed by this post...we can sent hundreds of thousands of troops to liberate a country several times the size of Texas in a very short time
If you're talking about Iraq, it is only about 60% the size of Texas. If you're talking about Afganistan you're closer but it's still not as big as Texas is. So what country are you talking about?

Are you from Austria
Well, at least they're thinking in the right direction, wrong continent.
For a moment I thought this was about privacy issues with what is now "Firefox".

by autodialing I mean speed-dialing.

To any kid entering college now, take my advice - go to Washington University in Saint Louis.
It's a great choice for anyone who can, but it's also a very selective school. And deadline for regular admission was January 15th.
