Depends on which state. Google for your state's website; should find some bicycling information there.

I know that I've lost the battle on this one, but if it is "more like an online journal" then why on earth do you use that other, really ugly word?
I have had an online journal for going on eight years now, and the thought that people call their personal essays and ideas "blogging" makes my skin crawl.
Like I said, I know I've lost this battle. The general population doesn't know the difference between a blog (which I consider to be more of the linky variety) and an online journal (which I consider to be more personal), and with the way that this stuff is reported by the "real"media, never will.
An upside-down colander? Man, that's just cruel. Not only does he have to clean out the inside of his microwave like he normally would, but he has to clean out the colander too.
I put the mouse on the other side of the computer. Thus, the first finger of my left hand "right" clicks the mouse (see, if it were a two-button mouse, it would have left and right sides)...
Oh, nevermind. I can't expect the entire world to change for 15% of the population. Stupid lefties.
Except when Mail.app crashed every two to three minutes because your Junk Mail filter file is corrupt and Apple doesn't recognize this as a legitimate problem despite the numerous bug reports sent by customers.
So I end up having to make my own Junk Mail rules and hope that not too many good messages sneak by.

If you don't have security settings on IE set properly, it might not question the install.
That is, you wouldn't HAVE to get the message for it to have installed.
Isn't the hard drive in the iPod mini a Compact Flash minidrive?
A 4GB CF minidrive is NOT under $249. Drop that on an iPod, gut it, and you've got the ability to store hundreds upon hundreds of pictures (even at higher megapixels, even in RAW format) for about half the price.
Why aren't more photographers gutting these things?
This is exactly why people correct other people's English mistakes. If you aren't using it correctly when you are in casual conversation (or casual correspondence, as the case may be), you might not use it correctly when it actually matters.
Sure, he understands what you mean if you write "i m interested in your job," but if you don't have the patience or care to make even that one sentence cover letter correct, why on earth would an employer want to take a chance on you?
I'm done apologizing for wanting people to speak and spell and use English correctly. For most of you, this is your native language! Why is it shameful to want to speak it correctly?
(I probably made some grammar errors in there. I'm SURE I did, and I'm sure someone will pounce on them. I proofread this, and I have spellcheck running, and I have a pretty decent working knowledge of grammar in English, so, you know, I'm trying.)
I work at an ISP and we get the occasional call from someone saying that their email "isn't working." Usually this means that they have a giant email clogging it, or that somehow they changed their settings to NOT download messages from the server and something hiccups so it tries to download all three thousand since they had the account.
We do offer webmail services, but that's often far over the head of most people to even consider. They call us first.
The problem is not a lack of highly educated workers,' said Scott Kirwin, founder of the Information Technology Professionals Association of America.

Carly didn't even say the quote that everyone is somehow attributing to her.
(Not that that makes the quote or idea behind it any better, but c'mon. If she didn't say it, we can't all attack her.)
Change your password more often. I believe fingers learn the password you use if you use it often enough - just like you can type email address you use very often more quickly than those you don't.
What part of having an iPod means you'll have to deal with DRM? Because you can rip your own cds and transfer them to your iPod, even using AAC, without DRM.
iTunes does not equal iTMS.

What's the difference? Are you joking?
An abortion affects, for better or worse, three people. The mother, the father, and the baby that could have been. Except the baby didn't ever make it to consciousness. So it affects two people.
A man hitting or raping his wife affects her and it affects their children who grow up learning that such things are acceptable and okay. This in turn affects their spouses when they grow up who can bear the brunt of this particular form of education.

It's NOT just irresponsibility. Have you looked at the state of birth control lately? Do you know any woman who has found a birth control option (hormonal or otherwise) that is to her complete satisfaction? I sure as hell don't.
And you can't tell me that the MAJORITY of the people who want to make abortion illegal aren't the same people who want to have abstinence the only sex education offered to teenagers. Look at what our president is doing to slash funding for non-abstinence sex ed.
The second you introduce restrictions on who can and cannot have abortions, it becomes a class issue. Rich girls will be able to get abortions (whether medically necessary or not, don't they all have a doctor relative who will cover it up?) and poor girls won't. Look at before Roe v. Wade when it was poor girls who couldn't afford babies anyway either giving birth to unwanted children (aren't there enough children in the world?) or suffering at the hands of an illegal abortionist. Then look at the rich girls who went in for a D&C and came out magically not pregnant.
I agree that the idea of it is pretty abhorrent, and that the procedure itself isn't all sunshine and roses. But the idea that making it restricted or illegal could stop a person who really needed its availability makes me sick.
It would be like saying that we should ban alcohol because of drunk drivers who kill people. (No, abortions aren't pleasant the way that alcoholic beverages can be pleasant, but their effects can be, that is, no baby.)

Oh, and don't forget the commercials about how moms have to keep their men in line. And how moms have to keep their house clean. Or find something good to cook. Or how funny it is that men can't handle their own children when moms go shopping, because, you see, women LOVE to shop.

And why would the first person pronoun be "I" and not "me"?
(Just informing, not trying to be a jerk.)
I'm honestly not trying to be a jerk here, but you mean that you are "wary" of working with a girlfriend. Weary is a synonym for tired.

What an ugly word, though.

Which is why I said I could believe it, not that I knew it. I didn't know, obviously.
Why would you go from AAC to MP3? Of course that's going to degrade the quality.
Oh, don't have an iPod to play your AACs? Do you have a CD player? Because you can burn them.
(Anybody burned them and then ripped them to mp3 from the CD? I can imagine that would be less lossy than straight transcoding.)
I put the mouse on the other side of the computer. Thus, the first finger of my left hand "right" clicks the mouse (see, if it were a two-button mouse, it would have left and right sides)...

Wait, which is it?
Mac users are too stupid to use Windows, or Mac users are smarter than you because they can use the Ctrl-Click instead of a second mouse button?
(Not saying you said the first one, but you know, it's an argument out there.)
Oh, and right clicking is the only clicking for those of us who are left-handed. How about "opposite-click"?

Nothing like adding to the perception that Americans don't know how to make proper nouns plural, either.
Angelfire.com used to be a free hosting place for lusers who didn't have their own domain names.
Anglefire.com, a pretty common mis-typing of Angelfire, was a hardcore porn site.
Imagine my amusement when I realized how easily people thought I was hosting porn.
