1) We've got some of the most gorgeous women on the planet.
2) 5th drunkest city in the USA
3) Live music capital of the USA (possibly the world)
4) South by Southwest Festival(s)
5) We have a homeless celebrity dragqueen who runs for mayor as often as possible.
And now we can add #6: Best gaming college in the nation.
You should probably add "Salmon of Doubt" as another small exception. It's a collection of stuff by Douglas Adams, some of it pulle from his computer posthumously. Definitely worth a read.
Speaking as a college student, I don't want electronic textbooks. I'd prefer paper-and-ink, despite the expense. Because of my already bad eyesight, I try to limit the amount of time to avoid eyestrain. A standard semester requires (based on personal experience) 4-5 hours of reading per class session. I find my eyes to be much less tired after 4-5 hours of reading paper-and-ink than after 4-5 hours of reading text from a screen.
My concern is with annotation. I underline and highlight sections of text and scribble notes in the margins of the pageswould be annotation. Is there a program that allows for similar use of an e-book?
The Department of Homeland Security has noted your concerns. Steps will be taken to ensure proper and supervised use of arms to prevents arms from being used by potential terrorists.
The military and espionage potential is huge. However I assume the forcefield could play havoc with radar, possibly sonar too. So how would one go about detecting invisible men/women? Infrared? Gaurd dogs?
Too much is made about child's rights and too little is spoken about dubious advertising for unhealthy food items. In Japan, there is a huge promotional campaign to get kids eat Whale Meat for lunch!
I doubt offering whale meat would go over well in the USA. The environmental and save-the-whales groups would have a hissy fit.
The actual translations comes closer to "who gaurds the gaurdians?" or "who watches the watchers?". The word in question is the basis for the English word "custodian", which originally meant a caretaker, an overseer, or a steward.
I work at an HEB in texas and peaches are not a restricted item. I can take a guess as to what happened. Each type of produce is identified by a four-digit UPC which the cashier (at least at my store) has to enter into the computer. I've entered incorrect before and once ended up selling an auto-detailing kit instead of tomatoes. I'd guess that the cashier in the story made a similar mistake and rung up some kind of restricted item accidentally.
Being a cashier myself, Hell is more like having to work on Christmas Eve and the Friday after Thanksgiving. Were Dante's Inferno to be updated, working those days would be at least a third level torment.
In terms of heat nothing beats Texas. Daily highs routinely reach into the 100s during the summer. In Dallas, the heat kills old people. Houston, being so close to the water, is damn near unbearable.
Texas has four season: summer, summer, still summer damn it, and Christmas.

This empowers geeks. It is a license to be snooty.
Since when have we needed a licence?
The Nelson Disclaimer seems appropriate at this moment.

I love this city.

Hilary Clinton and Jack Thompson will be along soon to sort this out for us.

Never record "Will and Grace" or your DV-R will get the wrong idea about you...

There's a Bush joke in there, I just can't find it.
That'd be a hell of a tactic. "Vote for us, or we'll force to you to stare at Ted Kennedy in skin-tight leotard!"
Col O'Neill: "Don't matter what kind of radation suit we have. If you'd been listening you'd know that Nintendos pass through everything."

What and risk loosing the ability to follow Slashdot arguements?
I doubt offering whale meat would go over well in the USA. The environmental and save-the-whales groups would have a hissy fit.
Still, whale burgers would be awesome.

Didn't you hear? We signed a treaty with the Ashen.
This is a bad thing why?

Agreed. I mean, they don't have a leg to stand on!
