It really depends on the situation. If they suspect you of wrongdoing
, they will take you to the station to verify your identity. If they ask you for it during a traffic stop or similar, they won't do anything else (they already have your drivers license).
So you are partly right, it can be more bothersome if you do not have your license on you, but in the end it doesn't really matter.
Concerning German police being more civil: After Hitler with Gestapo and SS the government has really tried to make a point of police being civil servant. So they get trained a certain way and it's also why the uniform is grass green and khaki. Although I do think at least the color of the uniform is being made the same in all countries of the EU, a dark blue.
Correct, you are required to own one, but there is no law that requires you to keep it on you at all times. Although most Germans do not know this either.
You can roll both into one. There is really only one motivation for people : procreation. The only motivation to acquire either power or money or any action really boils down to impress the opposite sex and to ensure the continuation of your genetic linage.
I see this happen all the time on students computers at the local university. Data gets shared between the students and the IT lab PCs with a USB drive and over time they acquire quite a neat collection of different malware that just keeps growing. It's so common that I am surprised to find a windows installation that is clean.
I get your point, but really, does anyone care about the achievement system? Although I do seem to be the only one who doesn't care about little pretty pictures which have no effect on gameplay.
I know what you are getting at, but actually it is not a bad idea. I have found myself wishing I could send and receive spoken text message using an IM app. The reason is simple, I have contacts overseas that are too expensive to call using a mobile and even though I have an unlimited data plan, the mobile network in the country side is usually too slow to make stable skype voice calls. I have looked for an android app that would do voice2text, but there seems to be none (yet).
alos, I hate typing on touch screens, and voice input would be a possible alternative. I am guessing though that phones today are still too limited in cpu and storage to make such a feature possible. My HTC Magic feels incredibly slow as it is.
I don't miss any specific so much as the experience. A a kid I always had a much stronger emotional experience when playing games as I do nowdays. My first game on my first PC: Lemmings was great. I don't think I did anything productive for a few days. Duke Nukem, Commander Keen and Monkey Island followed. All the great adventure and RPG games: anything Lucas Arts, Lands of Lore (Westwood), Ultima, Call of the Cthulhu. I always loved great story telling. VF III in the arcades was some of the funest gaming times I had.
I bought all of those games for the PC. Great times, staying up late at night as a kid, playing in a darkened room all night. Syndicate Wars was great, the successor not so much if i remember. Z finally brought some great jump'n'run from the Amiga the PC. I was always jealous in the regard. Loved the humor in Theme Hospital. There is so much that can go wrong in a neglected hospital.
At least on Android 1.6 on my HTC Magic what sucks the most battery is scrolling! Yes, the normal finger swipe you do in about every application of the phone. Try installing a task viewer and watch the cpu cycles jump up to 80% for the simple act of moving around the screen. Either it's just my phone or there is something highly un-optimized in Android.
Is it just me or has Obama done a full 180 turn around on what you expected his policies to be since he came into office. So far I have yet to see a strong indication that he does things differently. So much for "change".
I do know what's best for me, yet honestly I was too lazy to reg with a throwaway, just with my spam account at my domain. I am still not all that concerned though.
You must be referring to terminator seeds. This technology is actually on hold and not being used, which is a bad thing IMHO. This could have effectively prevented cross-pollination with regular plants. They way things are now, it is entirely possibly that all plant life will be GMO contaminated at some point.
So you are fine doing the "art" of programming and not get payed accordingly and just doing it for the fun of it, not being able to afford to raise a family? If so, more power to you!
Is there really a market for this? This seems like overengineering. I like to still be able to use the phone when I surf the web. In fact I can do so right now. The solution? Two SIM cards tied to the same account. As an added bonus I get to surf with my phone as well. This is a much cheaper and flexible solution, not even tethering is needed. Is this not commonly possible with other carriers?
True to that. That is why Chrome is my browser of choice on my Atom based netbook. It is much faster than FF (sorry Moz) and I have about 20% additional screen real-estate to display the actual webpage. And on a 10" screen you need to squeeze all you can get out of both.
It wasn't an easy decision however, considering Chrome is closed source and privacy concerns related to anything Google.

Disabling Norton 360 is usually my first step to troubleshoot a system.

...if Win8 won't have a build-in app store ;)
I am expecting this to happen at the latest with 10.8

It would have been interesting if the jailbreaking webpage would fix the exploit after rooting it.
I am also a huge Fripp fan and would enjoy reading a more detailed account. Do you have any sources?

Just register your BattleNet account with a fake "real" name. I bet you could even change your name in the profile.

Doom used DLLs? Was there even ever a Windows port?
Dunno about Win and Linux, but you can run General Midi .mid files fine with Quicktime. Must be using a software synth. Doesn't sound too bad.
That is unfortunate. My carrier charges me an activation fee for the second card and nothing beyond that.

I always do wonder how Opera makes money. They offer their web browsers for free now. How does Opera generate revenue?
