And in case you don't already know, when you fly you should go out of your way to wear natural fibers. Never wear artificial fibers. For women, wearing hose is especially bad. All too often, hose becomes permanently bonded to the flesh in even minor flash-overs, which would otherwise not necessarily be life threatening or even disfiguring. The result of wearing hose can be horribly disfiguring. Besides, most natural fibers have a natural resistance to burning, tend to burn less vigorously when they do burn, and frequently have less resistance to their removal than artificial fibers, such as poly-blends. Cotton is your friend.
Servicey! Also interesting, considering that most flight crew uniforms are pretty darn polyester.
Or Christian Slater? Trouble is no one would ask him these days. Also there was that little quip about how the new suit might not stand up to a big cat, and they're gonna need a new female lead... so they might throw her in on the periphery.
the name "Street View" implies pictures of what it would look like if you were walking down a street like a normal person, not walking up random people's driveways like a creep when their houses are clearly set back from the road. That is a problem even if the road is not marked private, but especially so when it is. Instead of casting them as greedy bastards, has no one considered that they might be trying to increase the publicity for what Google is doing with Street View? I don't know if that is what this couple is doing, but doesn't that possibility come up in almost every discussion of a seemingly frivolous lawsuit?
Street View and other GISes being widely available for anyone to search could have an effect on the housing market, but only as far as shady realtors/sellers/landlords who purposely leave out pictures of their properties no longer need bother trying to keep you from seeing it until they are twisting your arm and bending your ear.
I think anyone who might have had trouble with stalkers could reasonably claim mental anguish in this situation even if such "anguish" is irrational. I'm not saying that is the case with these people, but it is possible in general.
I understand that there is stress involved with having to keep up with a reader base that expects content 24 hours a day, but I agree with all of the people who suggest hiring more staff to meet the demand if you can afford it. But I still think bloggers should just be happy that they are getting paid for what they do at all. Most aspiring/freelance writers would happily take the "stress" written about in this article in exchange for earning MILLIONS (or even anything more than $20-30K/year) in exchange for what they do. Don't forget that if you are blogging full-time and performing no other job, you are not a doctor or a professor or a lawyer or an engineer, you are a writer. Let's look at the average salaries for journalists, shall we? I think the current system is as fair as it can be. Hm, Michael Arrington apparently reviewed the PayScale website. Maybe he should have actually used it.
You seem to be getting all of your ideas on relationships and society from television shows about fictional towns in California and/or books written before the 1960s. I'm sure there are women for whom net financial worth is a high value or the only value, but unless these women are also rich and powerful or on their way there and want someone with similar ideals to their own, they are basically legal prostitutes--not what I would consider a "good" woman. A relationship should not be reduced to an exchange of goods and services, nor does it need to be.
Actually since I got my (4G) iPod from Colorware, and they painted the clickwheel with the same paint as the rest of the case, it feels the same, but there is a slight gap between the wheel and the case to let you know which you are on. But the thing I think works best about the clickwheel is the clicking action itself. Think of the mouse (for lack of a better description) button on a laptop. Would you rather have it, or be forced to tap the touchpad to "click" on things? I like having a physical tactile response when pressing a button. It would be like trying to type on this. Highly unsatisfying, IMHO.
This might be good advice, but the problem is, how many 18 year old kids are going to know enough to take some of these measures, especially if they are being forced to go to a certain school by their family? Only older or more independent (not to mention independently wealthy) students would be able to do this. It really shouldn't be necessary.

Well, I guess flight attendants didn't get the memo!
