True. I fly in/out of a smaller airport here in California. It literally takes 10 minutes or less from the curb to sitting in the terminal. They actually push the stairs up to the side of the plane which I like for some reason.
One caveat: I have learned to not check a bag and use a carry on only. Checked baggage can miss your flight and come on the next one if you get to the airport 15-20 minutes before a flight. I can stuff a week's clothing in mine, and for multiweek trips I make them put me up someplace that has a laundry room.
It helps to be a key design engineer because I can tell management they can bloody well send someone else if they try and force LAX on me. Every added security measure just makes it that much easier for me, actually, so you go Homeland Security! You go girl!
It depends. I attended a few technical seminars for work about 7 hours north of me. I drove because it was up a part of Pacific Coast Highway I have never seen, it was an overnight trip anyway, and I felt like it.
Telltale Games is holding the torch there pretty well. The Sam & Max series has been a lot of fun. All available on PC on Steam, but many are on the Wii, and a giant HDTV with a wireless pointer might just be adventure gaming Nirvana. They even have a some Wallace & Grommit games I have been wanting to try.
GOG has Syberia (personal favorite) and lots of other classics.
The indie scenes has some gems like Machinarium.
That being said, there should be a place in any true gamer's heart for both puzzling adventure and becoming screaming, bloody death from above.;-)
Politics as a concept is just whatever way a group of people figure out to run a society.
Ideology is when some people think they have all the answers in one tiny little playbook, and begin to live in their own reality bubbles.
Anyone who self labels "liberal" or "conservative" or "libertarian" or "whatever" is in a bubble. You have to be to think that one ideology's answers work everywhere under all conditions.
Those of you who are too young or too ignorant to remember those heady days before AJAX should keep your mouths shut.
Please... I first used this thing when some of my professors at the time were still calling it ARPANet. Had to go to the computer lab in college because even public dialup was still years away.

Another guy wanting to spend our tax money.
Where's the sport in that? Maybe it's a comparison operation. :-P
OK. You do that. Say hi to the missus.
it was the clearest indication yet that Apple is phasing out Mac OS X
Which is why half the announcement was the big, shiny new Mac OS X Lion. Derp.
argues PC Pro's Barry Collins
Who?
Not to mention informative. "Michigan mop job" is a new one to me.
Why grudgingly? It either is or it isn't. If you have to begrudge the truth, go find something else to do.
You're right. We're sorry. Here's some blankets as a peace offering.
My neighbors suck.
Your move. :-)
Er, because there is no organized group of crazy dumbasses specifically targeting schools for destruction?
If the miseryshits suddenly shifted their focus from planes to American schools, you'd see a massive, hysterical rise in security in the schools.

just what train did you find that only takes 2 days?
The secret Stonecutter train through the Earth's crust.

Buying SL for the sake of getting Lion is spending money for the sake of it.
Dude, it's 20 frackin dollars assuming he can't borrow the install discs. Just eat in a couple evenings.
And who knows what Apple will do with SL pricing once Lion is actually (puts on sunglasses) in the wild.
What the hell has happened to "Adventure" Games?

California has a fetid muddle of corrupt miseryshits. Any "Republican" or "Democrat" labels are just window dressing for the peanut gallery.
I voted for the guy, but genius? Not even remotely.
Then again I'm stingy with words like that.
Install Snow Leopard? Then download Lion? Isn't SL like $20 now? Or you can borrow the discs from someone.
I have heard elsewhere that there might be a burnable disc image, but no confirmation yet.
Could be a good way to do it. The App Store downloads the image, mounts it and installs. You can go in later and burn it to disc.
You're talking more about ideology there.
Politics as a concept is just whatever way a group of people figure out to run a society.
Ideology is when some people think they have all the answers in one tiny little playbook, and begin to live in their own reality bubbles.
Anyone who self labels "liberal" or "conservative" or "libertarian" or "whatever" is in a bubble. You have to be to think that one ideology's answers work everywhere under all conditions.
Politics == hate
Politics == religion.
What happened to that un uh um oo ee oo ah ah standardized naming system?
Did they finally realize it sucked the passion and romance right out of the periodic table?

And stay off my lawn.
Hey! I *am* the lawn.
Wait... what?
Ask a dozen people on the street about the "Sony rootkit" and most will probably think it's an MP3 player for plants.
You can't explain that!
One vote for... wait... this sort of seems like both.
