FBI terrorism experts cleared them and the airline still banned them from flying.
"AirTran requested that the irate father be escorted from their booking podiums by security."
In other words, AirTran didn't want to deal with an irate passenger (even though they caused the anger). When dealing with authorities or companies (or both in this case), rule number 1 is "keep your cool". Angry people get terrible service.
OT: that's one of the worst things I've noticed about recent OSS spellcheckers. Common words used in English that are borrowed from French or German are excluded from the English spelling dictionaries. Adding all the words from all dictionaries isn't a good solution because if I accidentally mistype "is" as "ist" I want that to be highlighted.
didn't you get the memo? Barack H. Obama is the new messiah. HE has brought forth HOPE. HE will pay for our cars and houses. HE will create 3 million new jobs. And HE has totally ripped abs.
I used to think this was a joke, but a journalist on NPR recently stated: "[description of economic woes...] Is there any light at the end of this darkening tunnel? Where is what the Greeks called the deus ex machina -- the god who descends at the critical moment to sweep all our troubles away?
That could be President-elect Barack Obama [...]"
Fact: all "first posts" were done by Clippy. MS decided he needed to automatically do that. Over the years he's grown unstable.
Since clippy only communicates via offering help, he necessarily offered help to himself while posting, setting off infinite recursion, and creation of thousands of personalities? I think you've mistaken him for twitter.
In System Shock 1, the "reload" feature was built in to the game too: a bio reconstruction chamber that you needed to activate on each floor, after which you could die infinitely in suicidal attacks. In System Shock 2, there was a nanite (money) charge for the restorations, so save points were used more.
The one made for C64 & IBM PC back around late 1980's. You could play as any character in the game, and attempt to become Shogun by attacking, befriending (bowing like a crazy man, but not too much or others will lose respect for you), and trading items for respect/honor. The graphics stank, but the game could easily have a transition to 3D without any harm. Becoming Shogun as a peasant was super tough, and possible only via the trading items route.
There were first-person versions of PacMan before Wolfenstein 3D. I remember playing them on my IBM 8088. They didn't have the same lasting appeal beyond "hey neat, I'm in the maze!"
Beyond the car-chargers, a lot of cell phones are USB powered. A laptop battery can charge a cell phone quite a few times as long as there's no actual computing being done.
Not only that, we also pay for receiving spam texts unless we contest them (then contest them again because they don't do the "paperwork" right the first time... on purpose).
If bicycling is going to work for more people, drivers need to learn traffic laws and pay attention.

Turning without signaling, riding three-abreast at 20mph on a road with a 45mph speed limit (which means people really drive 50-55), wearing dark clothing late at night, not stopping at stop signs, running red lights... cyclists usually suck.
FYI, no one in a car passes anything at 30mph. If the speed limit is 30mph, and there's a 20-25mph cyclist in front, the driver will speed to 35-40 to pass (assuming they weren't already driving 5-10 mph over the speed limit as is customary).
No squid ending? Where'd you learn that? The squid was needed to unite earth against an imaginary foe; I can't see another plausible ending except maybe a UFO.

I know a few medical doctors, including one who went through Computer Science undergraduate with me. They like their Microsoft products.

NPR says he's a god now, not just Limbaugh.

Jobs hears people cry out for a netbook-class machine
And we get a 7-9" touch screen iMac netbook that looks like an oversized ipod touch. I welcome this without meme.
I would've thought "would of" would be a misspelling of would've.
Mixing light colors gives me headaches, literally.

Fujitsu's had a mini-notebook with a tablet twist-touchscreen for more than a year now.
When I was a kid, we were assigned ~400 hours of homework a year. From what I hear, it's more now.

Aluminum (powder) + Thoroughly Rusty Shanty Town = Thermite. A little heat, and you'll suddenly get a lot of heat.
I succumbed to google; can't spoil a movie/book I already (think) know the plot of. Seems the director doesn't understand the ending.

Their trademark is filed under "Goods and Services: laptop computers". That doesn't leave much room.
Not "Goods and Services: netbook computers"? Then it's not the same area...
