Where are these drive-ins? I know the one out in Granbury is looking for votes from the Project: Drive-in site: http://projectdrivein.com/vote_39
It's a great drive-in, but it's suffering from the exact problem described here. The projector is a bit outdated. I'd love to see it with a new projector and a new FM stereo transmitter.
Hmmm... What do you suppose someone thinks of a "lifehacker", someone who visits and applies the advice given at the immensely popular website http://www.lifehacker.com?
I think the word "hacker" means different things in different contexts, and just because one definition is used less doesn't mean it no longer exists, or that it holds up progress.
I'm not sure that President Bush has much to do with that. I think it's more a matter of two political parties that will do almost anything to ensure that a third party can not succeed and make the two big parties less relevant.
I'm not a Linux nerd. I've messed around with Red Hat a long time ago, and Ubuntu recently, but I do not follow Linux trends at all.
That said, all of the guys at work that try to talk me into using Linux are using Ubuntu and recommend Ubuntu. I've not heard anyone else anywhere claim that Ubuntu isn't the most popular flavor of Linux right now.
Not so much for outside the ship, but inside the ship or station, I would think a small, telescoping rod would be incredibly helpful for short people to avoid such situations. Add a hook to one end to double the usefulness.
That's not necessarily true. It's quite possible that San Francisco had other factors that contributed to pathogenic growth in reusable bags, and that those factors are missing in other cities. You do know that there's a reason why some of the best sourdough bread in the world comes from San Francisco and other coastal towns?
Does it take 20-60 mins for the cops to arrive if you call them?
I've lived in half a dozen US cities over the last couple of decades, and in every one of them it would take 20-60 minutes for the cops to arrive*. Can you tell me which large city has so many cops that they can respond quicker than that?
*Of course calls are prioritized. I'm sure they respond quicker if you say you just shot someone.
I have a Kindle and a Nook. The Kindle often has typos and formatting errors. Combine that with some of this evil Amazon stuff and it's obvious why my Nook is used daily and my Kindle gathers dust.
This was a triumph. You could at least have used the first post to point out that this is the artist who wrote and performed "Still Alive" from the video game Portal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI Not sure how this wasn't in TFS.
http://www.onlive.com/ It's still up and running and seems to be doing a brisk business... I've never used it, though. But I'm going to check it out right now!
If you get to know about a crime and do not report it, you automatically become an accomplice. He basically forced them to report him.
An accomplice is present at the crime. You'd become an accessory.
Actually, in most cases, you would be neither. In the USA, there is generally no legal obligation to report a crime. There are mandatory reporting requirements for some crimes by people in certain positions. For instance, teachers, doctors, and nurses are all required to report incidents of suspected child abuse.
Actually, in the United States, it's a felony to fail to report the commission of another felony. It's called misprision, and it can be taken very seriously.
Perhaps you don't understand the headline because you don't understand the topic being discussed. Netflix has given data centers tool to fail (and recover effeciently). If Nike had made some shoes that made it easier to recover from tripping, then "Nike gives Olympian shoes to trip." would be like the title of this story and you would understand how appropriate it really is. If it helps you, take some of the irony out of the titles by adding the word 'gracefully' or 'efficiently' to the end of each.
Hmmm... Well, you might have a point with Louisiana by itself, but Texas pays more to the Federal government than it receives, and we're talking about much greater numbers than most states, so I'm not sure I understand your point.
I don't see how it does anything to indicate someone's guilt or innocence. Can it detect trends and probabilities that should be investigated? Sure, but so does a 24-hour tip-line where anyone can call and report suspicious activity.
This is just a tool that can be used and abused by law enforcement, just like their guns, their search warrants and their overall authority. Society has to give them a certain level of trust to fulfill the duties that we expect of them. Sure, sometimes we get burned. There are bad apples everywhere. But reining in the authority that law enforcement is entrusted with is OUR JOB, not theirs. We, as voters and taxpayers, are responsible for electing representatives who will determine the level of authority that law enforcement gets to use to enforce the law.

Here's a 4 minute video on the topic:

I find it interesting that this cycle is a bit longer than normal this time.
I just want to point out that TSA is only a small part of DHS. Janet Napolitano is in charge of TSA.

Don't worry, I'm sure their will be another opportunity to kick they're butt.
I just did it and my wall posts were included in the downloaded archive. Strange that it works for some, but not for others.

And they just announced that they're shipping in May!

Once you have that type of precision, I would imagine "learning" what a fist is wouldn't be quite as difficult...

It's not common, but it sounds to me like it's MUCH more common than you believe.

I was just skimming comments before posting the exact reference. Good flick. I like movies that give you something to ponder like that...

The mandatory reporting that you mention actually applies to professions where confidentiality is otherwise required.

You're implying that the US is effectively using national defense assets against Mexican cartels right now, and that's far from true.
