Forget pennies and other lightweight stuff. The best solution: 1) Carefully steam the postage-paid envelope open at the seams. 2) Find a suitable-sized brick or brick fragment. 3) Wrap the envelope around the brick, in such a way that the postage-paid note and the address are on the same face. 4) Glue the envelope back together. 5) Mail it. 6) ??? 7) Less profit!
It's great for you that you like your Clie, but I don't own one and am not about to run out and spend, what, over $200, or heck, even $100 to be able to purchase a book.
Palm Zire 21: $99 new. The front-lit black-and-white screen is much easier to read than an LCD or CRT monitor, so I've got no trouble reading ebooks on it. Between Project Gutenberg and the Baen Free Library, I figure I've more than made back the purchase price in savings on paper books.
If you've got a large pickup truck or a full-sized van, you're probably best off renting a trailer from UHaul. That way, you know your stuff will be handled properly, and it'll arrive when you do.
Yes, it does. Like Morrowind, you'll probably be toggling between first-person for precision work (picking up coins, shooting things with missile weapons) and third-person for everything else (melee combat, walking around).
Personally, I'm waiting until it reaches the $20 price point for the game + all expansions. This has its advantages:
* Bugfixes. By then, they should have finally gotten most of the bugs out of the game. * Modding. Based on my experiance with Morrowind, the modding community should have quite a variety of mods out for the game, everything from user-interface essentials that the developers forgot (readable road signs, labeled potion bottles) to things that make the world really seem alive (non-hostile wildlife, children in the towns) * Speed. By then, I'll have a much faster computer than the game requires. Morrowind looks much better at 2048x1536 with 8xAA/16xAF.
You should have watched the high-def feed, then. The 2004 NBC coverage on HDTV was the best I've ever seen: they'd pick three events each day, and cover each for four hours, then repeat the broadcasts twelve hours later. No bias towards coverage of American athletes, and no "human interest" crap.
Color profiles for LCDs are very hard to set up. The response curve for an LCD is decidedly non-linear, and it can't be described by a CRT's black point/white point/gamma curve parameters. Plug the display into another computer to make sure it isn't the video card, replace the cable to make sure that's not going bad, and if neither fixes it, replace the screen.
I'm waiting to see which one makes the best cheap server. Last generation, the Xbox won by a mile, but this time, it's not clear, and it's uncertain that any of them will be better than a similarly-priced PC off ebay.
No, because the Red Cross doesn't depend on trademark law. Use of the Red Cross symbol is covered by the Geneva Conventions, and by various national laws enacted to enforce the treaties.
What is your position on openness regarding allowing "socially undesirable" people to edit Wikipedia? Are people such as convicted criminals, neo-nazis, or pedophiles welcome on Wikipedia?
4) Cellphones operate in bursts. They do a burst when they have something to transmit, then fall silent. Saves on batteries. That's not going to cut it for heating, you need continous output. They took care of this one. The setup is two cell phones talking to each other, with a radio playing in the background. Acoustic feedback guarentees that you'll get the maximum output from the phones.
Depends on the car. I've had the engine stall while driving down the road in an older car, and it kept rolling along at about 25 mph until I stood on the brakes hard enough.
Almost all fluoride that's produced is merely a biproduct of other chemical reactions. If city governments didn't buy this stuff from chemical plants to put in drinking water, they'd have to dispose of it like any other toxic waste.
Concentrated nitric acid is also toxic waste. Dilute nitric acid makes a pretty decent plant fertilizer.
I don't know any of the details, but when I was a kid, I had a number of "sealing" treatments to my molars that were meant to provide 10-15 years of cavity protection.
First-person shooting is a lot more fun than pressing a button, though.
The Germans had this trick: 1) Round up a bunch of Jews at gunpoint. 2) Force them to dig a large hole in the ground. 3) Line them up in front of the hole. 4) Open fire with the machine guns you've been carrying around. 5) Shovel dirt back over the self-interring corpses.

Face the sunrise. North is on your left.
I think it's rather funnier as-is.

Then why the hell are you censoring yourself?
Can you believe some of these guys would even scoff at using XCode
Anyone using Xcode is a masochist. It's faster and easier to develop Mac programs using vi, gcc, and makefiles.
So now it's no longer "Claria is Gator is Spyware", but "Windows is Claria is Gator is Spyware"?

Atari goes belly-up on a regular basis. How's this supposed to be news?
In the end, Leia runs off with the Wookiee.
Real Life is completely compatible with Linux alread.

Any atheists in your troop? I bet not -- the Boy Scouts don't allow them.
Forget PCI-X and PCIe. 100Gbit Ethernet is faster than your computer's memory bus.
