India is in 4th place? Ever been to India? A huge percentage of the population have never used anything as technologically advanced as a toilet. I mean not even an outhouse - they go right outside
I spent more on my TiVo than what a PS3 costs, so its not an issue of whether I can afford it. But, it does come down to value. How does the PS3 provide the additional value for what they're charging, since it's so much more than its competition? It flat-out has features that I don't want, so in effect, are worthless to me. So at this price point, I will not buy one. When the price comes down, I'll re-evaluate. I learned this fantastic skill over my lifetime, its called patience. If I wait for certain things, I get them at the exact terms that I want. In the meanwhile, I'll catch up on my reading or whatever HD glory my TiVo recorded for me.
By the New Year's issue of Internet Magazine, the '94 elections had already taken place. Gingrich was the 'speaker-elect'. My apologies for jumping the gun by 1 week.
unless I get hit by a bus on Ashland Avenue this morning
Dude, you're braver than me. I refuse to ride on Ashland, especially if the weather is bad. 4 lanes, its the fastest moving traffic north-south street on the northside. Elston or Milwaukee are fantastic streets for heading towards the loop, and Damen is a nice north-south.
Unless you're coming from the southside, in which case I don't know anything about that.
The numbers from a quick Google search say that the 2001 fatality rate per "Million Passenger Miles" was 0.59 for the Autobahn, vs. 0.81 in the United States.
Wrong. The President is allowed to send the National Guard on request of the Governor. He probably would have (since the Gov. asked), but the National Guard seemed to be busy that week.
Actually, the FCC forces your cable company to provide access for 3rd party devices to work on their networks, via the CableCard mandate. Unfortunately for you, the only (non-discontinued) CableCard ready DVR was just released by TiVo, and costs $799.
1500 lbs! With the 350! HA! The 350 alone almost weighs 600 lbs. The curb weight of the Fiero was a hair under 2600 lbs, and that was with the aluminum (?) block V6. The cast-iron 350 surely would have added to that, not to mention throwing off the weight distribution, mid-engine or not.
I suppose that if the Viper is the benchmark for the pinnacle of handling prowess, there are many, many cars that out-handle it.
Actually, this happened to me once, as well. I was running late one morning(as usual), and this particular check had to go out immediately. In my rush, I didn't sign the check. Writing checks isn't exactly second nature to me, since 95% of my bills are paid electronically.
Several weeks later, I was looking at my online check scans, and realized this one hadn't been signed. The processing center stamped "Verify check with maker" in the signature area, or something like that, but I never heard from my bank.
It wasn't a big deal, since the check was for a minimal amount, and I really wanted it to be cashed, but its still a little worrisome.
Looks like Sony picked another bunch of great titles to launch a new format. Such launch titles for SACD included: The Bangles - Greatest Hits, Keb 'Mo - The Door, The Sopranos Soundtrack, Toto IV, and Train - Drops of Jupiter.
They sure know how to pick 'em!
The only even money bet in craps is the Odds bet. But, in order to make an Odds bet, you have to first make a Pass or Don't Pass bet, which has odds against you of about 1.3%. So, to make the even money bet you have to make a negative expectation bet. You can even out the negative expectation by playing a high Odds table. A couple of casinos offer a 100x Odds game, which lowers the house advantage to about 0.2%.

You might want to look at who was Speaker of the House in 1994. His name was Gingrich.
Solid engineering seemed to save this one. From University of Illinois professor Nathan Newmark, nonetheless.

D'oh. My apologies. Eagerness to reply to first post caught up with me.

Homer: Sure, I've had it up to here with these damn rickets.
It's a wash.
Can I buy a MS brand PC?

Not only was the timeslot changing, but during the 7:00 Sunday timeslot, it kept getting bumped by football.
Take a gander at your QWERTY keyboard, and you'll notice that the 'D' is next to the 'F' key. My conclusion:Typing error.
Some of us enjoy the action of both watching paint dry and watching the grass grow.
No, but adding a second passenger doesn't double the weight of the car. A 170 pound passenger is about 5% of the weight of a 3500 pound car.
Come on, that's a load of creamery butter.
So what? Waiting in the security line is a sunk cost. You have to do it when taking the slow jet, too.
This is simply not true. First off, my dad had Beta porn. Second, VHS tapes had longer record times and the recorders were cheaper.
