Yep, it really costs that much. Also, when Oracle bought sun, they scrapped the "free Solaris licensing" deal Sun had for educational institutions (universities, k-12) and also stopped providing security patches without a maintenance contract across the board.
Random vehicle searches already exist, primarily in the form of DUI checkpoints.. but after 9/11, I've seen them on main roads into/away from national parks, the hoover dam, and random other places.
Technically, sales taxes are supposed to be paid on all sales, first or subsequent. They're only generally enforced on things like used automobiles and other things that require licensing.
Sprint also now secretly caps the tethering data to 5GB, after which they start charging $0.05/kb. Sprint claims unlimited only applies to phones, not hotspot usage.
The picture in that article isn't the picture of the original comet-like bits from 1883 as no pictures seem to have been made of the event in 1883.
Also, another observation of the comments from below the actual article.. A "flock of birds" flying between the telescope and the sun would most likely be perfectly in focus, at least judging from various internet pictures of airplanes flying between sun and telescope and my own personal observations of seeing both a seagull and a satellite passing in front of the sun while looking through a Lunt solar scope. The edges of both the seagull and the satellite were razor sharp while I was focused on the sun.
If only we could start a contest where Millions of iPad and iPad2 owners play angry birds while crossing busy intersections.
Surviving player with the highest score (Angry brids score + number of feet walked) wins an iPad3.
I've purchased books for $0.99 just to check them out. In one case, the author's writing style was crap (imo.. who the heck writes fiction in present-tense?!?) so I won't buy any of his (much higher priced) sequels, but I'm not sweating the dollar it cost to find out I didn't like the author.. and the others I've purchased for.99 were good reads.
Oh sure, you say that know, but when the first vagina grenade goes off on a crowded plane, what will you say?
The problem here is body scanners wouldn't detect a vagina bomb in the first place. They only penetrate roughly 1/10th of an inch below the skin. Ironically, the explosives sniffers WOULD detect it but typically aren't being used in areas "protected by" body scanning devices.
U.S. law states that you may only legally enter an intersection if the way is clear for you to proceed through and exit the intersection. All those people that pull into the middle and wait to turn are actually breaking the law.
Chalk up one 40s player who is addicted to Rock Band (and rb2) drumming. I can't say I like most of the music included in Rock Band 2, though. Neither does my wife. I've noticed almost all of the "music" from the Harmonix bands is seriously bad quality music that I wouldn't be arsed to purchase as DLC. Visions being the most notable of the bunch, but the rest aren't much better from a music theory standpoint.
I can say for sure that if Harmonix releases the Beatles as a separate game (ala the AC/DC release) I won't be buying it. DLC albums for me 100%. I hate swapping disks on my PS3.:)
Here are my personal observations from spending 1 month in China back in 1997.
The thing I remember most from my trip to China is the bodycount. I've never seen so many corpses lying around on the streets anywhere as I did on an early morning busride from Qufu to Jinan. I saw the remains of over 30 (we stopped counting at 30.. there were more) fatal vehicle accidents which ranged from cars and trucks hitting each other, pedestrians, bicyclists, immovable objects, and a donkey in one case. It was explained to me that the drivers in that particular area (province?) feel they conserve gas by driving without their headlights on at night (which I observed). I also noted in this area there generally weren't street lights.
A train ride from Qufu to Xi'an was also noteworthy in that our train apparently struck someone. The train came to a stop with the body right outside the train car behind mine. I watched in amazement as about 6 Chinese officials (I'm calling them officials because they appeared to be wearing uniforms) got off the train and stood around the body kicking/prodding it. They eventually (after about 5 minutes) dragged it onto the middle of the set of train tracks alongside ours, got back on our train and we continued on our (less-merry) way.
A taxi ride to get to a train station in Tsingdao resulted in police action against our taxi driver. While enroute, our taxi driver was waved to the side of the road by what appeared to be a police or military officer. The officer-type walked over to our cab and started arguing with the taxi driver. The driver pointed back at us. The cop-type person reached up and pulled the taxi sign off our driver's roof and started walking away. Our driver got out and went walking after the officer, at which point the officer turned around, drew his firearm (some kind of short-stock ak47 looking machinegun thing) and pointed it at the driver. My friend and I exited the cab and went running for the train station which was in view down the street.
I admit that most of these impressions I was left with were formed through a haze of not being remotely able to speak/parse/understand the Chinese language, but I'm certainly of the impression that actions speak louder than words. I have a slew of pictures and other impressions, but these are definitely the strongest. Its been 9 years since then and I remember the whole of the trip as if it were yesterday. While you would be hard-pressed to convince me to return, I am glad I went.

What's wrong with that is the fact that in a dark movie theater the phone lights up like a friggin' flare. Cell phones in movie theaters present both noise and light pollution. Docs can have as much of a life as anyone else. Do stuff on your time off and work when you're supposed to be working, like everyone else.

I would pay to watch it.
It could be called Angry Frogger!

Actually, in most places in the U.S. if you own a bar and a fight occurs in the bar, the bar owner(s) can be (and usually are) fined.
And here I thought it was a Groucho Marx quote.
They got eaten by scientists after a period of torture.
This made me laugh right out loud. Bravo!

Do *you* know the actual physical volume of "60,000 metric tons" of nuclear waste, offhand?
Plutonium: 19816 kg/m^3 http://www.economicexpert.com/a/Plutonium.htm
Uranium: density = 19.05 grams per cubic centimetre = 19,050 kg/m^3 http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_Weight_of_1_cubic_meter_of_uranium
60000 tons / 19 tons per cubic meter = ~ 3158 cubic meters, or approximately 1 to 3 olympic swimming pools, depending on depth. http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2005/JeffreyGilbert.shtml
This nuclear waste stuff redefines the meaning of the term "heavy" in heavy waste.

Is there really a Novell service called Zengina?
I could be wrong, but isn't 0~9 + a~f base-16 aka hexadecimal?
