journalists like Glenn Beck

I think Glenn Beck might disagree with that statement.

GLENN: Now remember, I'm not a journalist. They always make fun of me: Glenn Beck, he's a pseudojournalist. No, I'm not a journalist. I never claimed to be a journalist. I am an opinion person.

Maps are free? Where, pray tell, do you acquire these free maps?

at the Franklin County Engineers office. I also have had good luck finding Free maps at the first rest stop in a state after you cross the line.

The state of Ohio also prints a point of interest database.

I can't remember the exact text I saw on a dell, but here is a link that gives a little more information. http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/p/19245866/19385119.aspx

On the laptop I was trying to troubleshoot the universal power adapter would not charge the battery with the laptop off and would halt on boot with a message stating that the battery would not charge because the power supply could not be identified. After hitting F1 the computer would boot but the battery would not charge.

I am not sure he is confusing the cables, as I also believe that the monster cables look better. Can you provide a picture of a $10 cable that looks better than a $100 cable?

Since I have not switched my cheap HDMI cable with a Monster cable I can't comment on which produces better output from my TV.

use underscores instead of underlined spaces to create a blank

Is there any reason underlined spaces are preferable to underscores? The best reason I could find after a quick Google search is that an underline follows the bottom of the rest of the text while an underscore is merely somewhere at the bottom. To me it seems the width of the blank is more important than the vertical position of the line when considering page flow.

This comes from the same store but is mini displayport on one end and displayport on the other. http://estore.circuitassembly.com/products/Mini-Displayport-to-Displayport-Adapter-Cable.html

On the right side of the screen it lets you choose between US dollar, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, British Pound, and Euro.

Using their shipping calculator I see a shipping cost of $11.77 Canadian. I would not call the process a royal pain, but the hardest part was finding Canada in the long list of countries they ship to.

If you do not like there shipping prices just order more from them, since they are using priority mail flat rate for three of the options you can ship up to 70 pounds for the same price as long as it fits without modifying the box or envelope.
