It doesn't have to be Bluetooth. My Nokia 6225 has infra-red and came with the Nokia PC connection software. That allows you to do the same things, although not as simple or convenient as Bluetooth.
I forgot to add, the sad thing about it is, in their web site FAQ , Orange(Australia) claim that you can't add your own custom ringtones to your phone, which is blatantly false, because you can do it with the software they supply WITH THE PHONE!
I have to agree with you. I have lots of ringtones on my Nokia 6225 and haven't paid a cent for them. The phone came with software that can convert any MIDI file into a ringtone (which is still actually a MIDI file, but more restricted) and I can transfer it to the phone using the infra-red link.
This list is not very accurate. I was able to browse lots of these sites while I was in China two years ago.
I think some of them get banned only when they contain China related news the Government doesn't want you to see.
I used to watch BBC World a lot from my Hotel room when I was there for two months (not much else on in English) I noticed it disappeared for a while when there was a news item about protests in Hong Kong, but it wasn't consistent.
In Australia (NSW at least) there is a permit system for disabled spaces. If you have a disability, you apply to the Roads & Traffic Authority for a disabled parling permit, which has to be displayed in the windscreen when parked in a disabled space and proves entitlement.
That overcomes the problem to a large degree. I have known two people who successfully obtained one despite appearing to be able to walk normally. One (now deceased) had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and the other is my elderly grandfather who has emphysema and drives a manual transmission car, but can't walk more than a few metres.
If people give him a hard time (despite his obvious age) he can just point them to the permit.
What's wrong is, that the centre of rotation and the centre of mass are not the same, which means that at speed the whole thing shakes itself to bits from the vibration.
This is why roller bearings rather than ball bearings are used for high speed applications. Rollers can be made perfectly cylindrical, but to grind a perfect sphere you need a zero-G environment.
The balls in the ball bearings are therefore not perfectly spherical and there is a shift in the centre of mass that causes vibration. Roller bearings avoid this problem.
I know someone who had a son after a vasectomy also.
Recently when I signed up for mine I was strongly warned that I had to continue other methods of contraception until I had a letter, signed by my urologist, that I was now sterile, following 8 weeks of frequent sex to "clear the plumbing" and a sperm count found to be zero.
I had to sign a form to indicate that I understood this.
Apparently a lot of post vasectomy babies result from the "She'll be right!" approach.
Actually I think just about all unwanted babies are concieved that way...
Fact is, you won't get those pants for less than US$8.
I got such a pair, with free hemming (by hand, not with a machine), in a department store in Shanghai.
They were crap quality though - they fell apart within a year, but I've seen similar quality sold here in Oz (made in China too) for over US$20 and no free hemming either.
The other problem with pants sold in China is you don't usually get a separate change pocket - they use notes down to such small denominations that people don't carry much change. So when I brought them back to Australia where we have $1 and $2 coins, the pockets wore through.
Since you are in.au, try 1234 I don't think it's quite the same thing, nor is it free but functionally it is similar. (it uses a voice mail type system rather than SMS) You'll never get Google having access to all the Yellow Pages info for free when Telstra is making money out of it.
If you used one of those really cheap digital cameras or a webcam, you could now do it without so much weight penalty. I have one that weighs very little and takes 1280x960 pictures.
In Shanghai, when I was there during the SARS crisis, there were some rather extreme penalties for this and I never saw it happen. After the restrictions were lifted, it was like people were hawking and spitting everywhere they went.
It's a culture thing. Chinese people are apparently disgusted at the thought of blowing your nose in a hanky and putting it in your pocket.
Then there were the babies with the bare ass pants and no nappy (don't wanna know where that ends up!)

Of course not. You'd burn yourself. Wait until it cools down, silly!
That will be my retirement party fireworks.

He could have said, "But officer, I thought my car had a metric speedo"
Happens here in Oz ometimes with people buying old cars with MPH speedos, then going 60 because the sign says 60.

They turn black at the first sign of copyrighted material, thus preventing you from seeing anything you haven't paid for.

Well there you go.
I was wondering how they managed to retain enough pressure to stop it from vapourising.
They're as permanent as it gets.

Creationists have no problem with developing resistance to things within a species. Call them when your coca plant becomes a rose.

All those stupid people who browse as root and have Java enabled in their browser would be vulnerable to this.

Bacteria becoming resistant to a chemical is no problem for creationists - they are still bacteria. Call us when you see some evolve into elephants.
