Do you have long hair? I'm white and have the same problem. I'm not sure what it is and why, but I'm always the "randomly selected" person to extra search. Now they don't even have me go through, they just direct me off to the side.
I'm trying to figure out if there's some other aspect I'm missing. I was thinking it was a long hair/goatee combo, but I shaved recently and had the same problem so that isn't it.
Does this mean that a PAL DVD will play fine on an NTSC TV? The reason I'm wondering is because the mother of a friend of mine wants a certain banned movie that has to be purchased from Europe, so the only option is to get a PAL disc.
My suggestion is to recognise the coming storm, and begin offering video games in your stores. You could keep them topical (only carry sports titles, Tony Hawk Underground and that sort of thing), and as if your sales of outdoor equipment continue to wane, you'll be diversified.
Yeah, but I was trying to give him something to look forward to after Spiderman so that he won't kill himself on July 3rd. HP:PoA will probably have already been out by then, and HP:GoF is far enough away that he'll have another year and a half of life .

The "tabbacco and tabacco accessory" stores that I have heard advertised have cases and cases of bongs, tshirts with big marijuana leaves on the front, skateboards, and semipronographic bumperstickers as the majority of their stock. I wasn't really talking about a classy tobacconist.
I think you'll want to wait for Harry Potter: The Goblet of Fire as well. I can't say about The Order of the Pheonix, though, since I'm still in the middle of it.

I was thinking the other day; I'm not sure I've ever bought *anything* on the basis of an advert.
It's impossible to know if you have. Adverts can influence you in indirect ways, such as a friend seeing one and trying a product and then recommending it to you. An advertisement can also bring a familiarity of a product to you, so that when you are in a grocery store and you are looking at many similar products, you would grab one that was advertised in your past (although you are not thinking of the advertisement, just that the name rings a bell).
I don't understand why people are so admant about not having advertising "effecting them," as if it indicated some weakness of mind. I freely admit that there have been times I'm watching TV and an ad for some fast food place somes on and I'll think "that looks good, and I haven't been there in a while, I think I'll have that tonight." Food is probably the number one advertising that influences my decisions directly. I also will look at coupon I get in the mail to see if there are deals on things I need anyway. I feel it's financially irresponsible to not do that.

Broadcasters wouldn't want to do this because the ads ont he billboards would compete with the ads they play on their stations. The station doesn't own the billboard, Mobiltrak (or some advertising agency) does.
If the advertising agency charges per impression, then advertisers also would not want to hack the system in this way. They are purchasing for a specific demographic and will have to pay for impressions outside of that demographic. Why not just get a standard still billboard in that case? Why advertise your "tabacco and tabacco accessories" to people listening to Rush Limbaugh when you can just pay for those listening to New Rock.

You were talking about how you were going to create a master pogram with exploitable backdoors and security holes. I'm guessing you mean Micrsoft Windows.
Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit. As we were talking I mentioned that I had recently installed Windows on my PC, I told him how happy I was with this operating system and showed him the Windows CD. Too my astonishment and distress he threw it into my micro-wave oven and turned it on. I was upset because the CD had become precious to me, but he said: 'Do not worry, it is unharmed.' After a few minutes he took the CD out, gave it to me and said: 'Take a close look at it.' To my surprise the CD was quite cold and it seemed to have become thicker and heavier than before. At first I could not see anything, but on the inner edge of the central hole I saw an inscription, in lines finer than anything I have ever seen before. The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth:
'I cannot read the fiery letters,' I said. 'No,' he said, 'but I can. The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in common English this is what it says:'
One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them,
One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
Urg. So it's battery powered? That would suck. I would rather have it draw power from the bike and get the extra info.
Otehrwise, bluetooth could be used to transmit RPM data. Mods to the bike would be needed in that case. I guess the good thing about this is that you can buy the helmet regardless of what bike you have.
Personally, I think seeing "ZZ" at the end instead of ":wq!" would be more ambigous. I wouldn't immediatly think of vi if saw two capital Zs but I do think of vi when I see ":wq!"
I'm paying 1.5% of assessed value. The assessment is a government assessment and is usually about 70% of the commercial assessment (which is what you can get loans on and what the house generally sells for, minus maybe 5% depending on motivation).
Of course I find it odd when fully detached houses in e.g. south central los angeles are described as "slums".
Location location location. Fully detached housing is not that rare in the states since there is a lot more land. Because of this, your neighbours make your value. If each house on your block has horribly cared for lawns, broken down cars, and people wandering the streets at all hours(*), you're in the slums.
*: this bit is important, because the fact is that many Americans will attack each other with little cause. When you have people walking around your neighbourhood, it becomes a dangerous situation
What I'm looking for in MP3 playing is an in-dash unit (DIN5) that can read DVD-R filesystems and play the mp3s from there, basically giving days worth of music on a disc. For portable players, theres the Sony MPD-AP20U to do this, but what is a car player than can do this? I haven't been able to find one.
There is a difference between declaring and not paying your taxes and not declaring you taxes. The latter is tax evasion and is a criminal act. The former isn't criminal, although I wouldn't advise it. It fucks your credit like you wouldn't believe and the government has ways of forcing payment (e.g. through wage garnishing).
Although in most cases, if you owe the government money and can't pay it, they'll work something pretty reasonable out for you paying it back if you call them and say "hey, I want to pay this, what do I need to do".
I agree that it isn't ideal, but I just don't feel tax money should be spent on this. I'm often a welfare apologist but I still think this is a little out there.
Noise is not just a nuisance, it's a health issue. And victims are often least able to afford quieter surrounds.
A WHO report estimated that 40 percent of EU residents -- 150 million people -- are exposed to road traffic noise exceeding 55 decibels and that over 30 percent suffer noise levels at night that disturb sleep.
I understand that these people can't afford sound proofing, but are earplugs really that far out of reach for them? If my sleep was disturbed by cars outside, I would buy some.
