Yeah, if their route from Seattle to Boston included a dip south to Nevada. Fortunately for them they crossed to the north of there, going through Idaho.
The same way the bicyclists have been doing it, on the back roads. It is possible, there's quite a network out there. There's even a hiking trail, but I believe that's south of where these guys went.

Some argue that this actually makes it faster and not slower to use.
Well, it might have made it faster, but few of use a mechanism that jams anymore. I tried to switch to Dvorak once, which was easy as far as my keyboard was concerned (Model M), but I never was much of a typist and I didn't feel like rebinding games, so I switched back.

No. This is the United States we're talking about. Even in the pre-U.S. North America we never burned anyone for witchcraft. He'll be hanged, once he confesses under a load of heavy rocks.
I've had trouble with some DVDs in my Linux box that obviously aren't running the protection software. Mainly Sony DVDs which now have some scheme of intentionally crippling the DVD in some way that regular players don't seem to notice, but Xine can't play it without skipping the first scene. DVD::Rip wouldn't rip it. Vobcopy and dvdbackup failed. I couldn't even copy it with dd. It was very frustrating. Mplayer was able to play the feature, but I couldn't get mencoder to read from it either. I was frustrated but a little impressed.
I think the better approach would be for Christians to stop doing those things first, and then, rather than condemning others for doing those things, try just simply loving others.
Wait, that sounds a little like removing the log from your own eye before removing the speck from your neighbor's eye or even being without sin before casting the first stone. What kind of lunatic came up with this stuff!?!;-)
Actually that British design sounds like a nice idea. I'm from the U.S. and spent three weeks in the old Soviet Union where as you put it, you're "shitting onto a shelf." Of course the Soviet toilet had this fire hose effect which cleaned off said shelf and flushed everything away. This was weird at first, but I got used to it. Then when I came home, I almost couldn't bring myself to go into that "pool" in the toilet at home.
Come to think of it though, that British design sounds like many (not all) public toilets I've seen here in the U.S. though. Particularly in schools.
I grew up in Dearborn so I took that to mean it had a "M" plate on it. In Michigan, cars that are owned by the Manufacturer are given a plate that has a M in a certain place. Dealer plates have a D on them and most city and state owned vehicles have X plates.
You should have studied dance. Then you could have at least counted to 8.;-)

Of course I don't think most Europeans speak English as their primary language. However, most Slashdot readers are at least familiar with English I would say. My original point had much more to do with the order of the items and not that Europeans use words like "the (xx) of" or call the first month of the common year "January" exactly. I just didn't feel like spelling it out in every language from Gaelic and English in the North-West to Serbo-Croatian, Romanche and Ukrainian in the South-East to Portuguese, Catalan and Spanish in the South-West to Lap, Finnish and Russian in the North-East, nor every language in between. There are way too many Eurpoean languages to give them each their due, and since we are in an English forum, I felt safe using it. Now I fear someone will accuse me of being a stupid ignorant geographically challenged American for forgetting some language that farther out than the ones I mentioned.;-)
Sorry, I didn't realize that I had to translate my posts into a score of languages or more to fully represent Europe. I guess I made the mistake of thinking most slashdot readers would be intelligent enough to understand that I meant in what ever language they speak, Eurpoeans might say the date before the month.
Actually I don't think I was mistaken, most are, just not you.
All these comments on the way most U.S. citizens format their dates! While other arrangements may or may not make more sense, particularly to those who already use them, no one seems to point out that we (in the U.S.) write our numbered date in the same order that we usually speak the dates. For instance, I was born on January 10th, 1972. So in the U.S. we'd write that 01/10/1972. Now maybe most people in Europe would say the 10th of January, 1972. I don't really know, but maybe they do. In which case they also write the numeric date in the same order they would say it. Unfortunately the two systems can get confusing during the first twelve days of the month, but otherwise there should be no confusion. Otherwise, a tad of contextuality is called for, and even then it's not usually a problem.
Besides the underwater exploring the other responder mentioned, there's always the 'oops, I dropped my watch in the pool' factor. 1 meter is pretty much the shallow end of many pools.

Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

*Christian here too*
I don't know about that. I suspect that there is data on some old tapes that we'd have a devil of a time trying to retrieve.

Not usually a problem when it's simply quoting lines from a movie. Check out Office Space sometime. It's funny.
You know, just sometimes, lookin' at her *shudder* Oh! Hey, I-I'm talkin' outa my ass.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Clearly you've never been to a sports bar. Six screen? Six different events? No problem.

Hence my use of the word "usually" rather than "always."
