agreed. I had that same thought just this past weekend driving 300 miles at the speed limit (when I also wished their was a black box like this that would ensure I don't speed - in addition to cruise control). I kept looking at the speedometer on my Saturn and wondered why in blazes it went up to 130 MPH. If the car is even capable of that, when would I ever drive that fast???
...or you just use your cell phone with E911 for emergency calls. I have Packet8. I know I have to pay extra for 911 service, I know the local police/fire number, I'm fine with that. 911 is not magical anyway; I've called 911 dozens of times in different places I've lived. It sucks. Rude people, bad wait times, don't respond.
I would say that the majority of Dell customers don't even know what kind of computer they have besides being "A Dell", (if they even know that) let alone a model or processor (what's that???). I doubt that Dell would really care that the small percentage of people who build their own computers anyway don't want an intel chip.
Personally, I have used AMDs for years (K6-2 400, a couple Athlons, and some earlier ones) even when other people said they were crap. Never had a problem with a processor. I remember being an OEM and Intel shut down their support board because people were having so many problems with their chipsets, and they didn't want it posted publicly.
Just don't forget a business loan. There will be interest, but also a 3-5 year payback period. Then of course, there is always the possibility that it won't actually be that big, and he will scale back his design.
However, if he is planning on putting one in Baltimore (until last month, I used to live 45 from there) then you have to understand his market. Towson University, University of Maryland Baltimore City, tourists, conventions, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
If he plans it well, he will have no problem making enough money. I'm sure that he does not just intend to throw hundreds of thousands of dollars down the drain.
Uhhh... considering that this here is the USofA and the normal price for an hour is $3-$6, I doubt anyone would compare that with Korea. That is of course someone plans on flying there to save a couple of bucks on playtime.
After all it varies from 50 pence to 1 pound just to surf the internet in London at a lot of cafes. You can't really compare the two countries.
I am imagining all sorts of horrible things that could happen from taking the breath test. I can see the headlines now... "70 year old man crashes... authorities say he passed out taking a rolling breath test", "Asthma sufferer has episode trying to start car", OR "Woman is killed in bad neighborhood... waiting for car to start".
But I'm sure they've thought about that. I mean, of course they did. Right?

I have. It's as redneck as people think it is.... no offense. :|
When you can't find it on Google: altavista

That was my 2 cents.

I agree.., I must say that the weather would not be very interesting if it were not always higher or lower than the average temp, rainfall, etc.
