Looking at the Seattle map one interesting thing stands out for me. The rentals in the zip code of Seattle University seems completely different then everywhere else. What is interesting that ' pseudo intellectual' movies that you would think would be more popular, Milk, Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, are relatively low in this area of learning, while mindless movies, Role Models, House Bunny, where the most popular.

Same at my work, except the exciting foreign places are places like Edmonton Alberta in the winter. And normally the 'perk' is having to leave town for an undetermined amount of time with a couple hours notice.

The thing that always gets me in trouble is getting a town car from the airport. I only do it when I know its cheaper than a taxi, but the accountants are always creating a fuss about it. Even when I submit a bill for both, and and the towncar is cheaper than the taxi back to the airport.

Same here, my five-eights, in truth end up being five-twelves, plus two-fours.

I even got called back in four hours into my holiday for a meeting yesterday afternoon.

I've always thought of Border Security as people who couldn't make it as Cops. In Canada there is a bit of a fuss because they want to arm themselves. Which simply scares me.

Not the op, but the number I have is: Natural Density in California is 60 trees per acre, but it currently is at 273 per acre. From "Green House Gas Emissions From Four California Wildfires: Opportunities To Prevent and Reverse Environmental and Climate Impacts" (PDF)

I have a HP Elitebook that is roughly in the same class as the Thinkpad only without the second monitor. After I installed Windows XP 64, and replaced the graphics card drivers with the CUDA drivers I get a whopping 32 minutes battery life.

On my Blackberry I can almost write an entire email without looking. I normally glance about once every sentence or two. That said when I get distracted or drunk this gets extremely screwed up. About once a week I write a message where somewhere in the middle I end up with every character being shifted one key to the left or right. Only once have I managed to send one of these messages though.

I had a iPhone for a few weeks and personally couldn't get over the lack of physical buttons. But thats just me.

Also because of their size people have a tendency to transport them in a bag that is less supported. Most people carry their Laptop in a proper bag or a Targus backpack, where as its not uncommon to see someone carrying their netbook in their purse or messenger bag.

I agree. I have season tickets to the local 2nd div (USL D1),4th div (USL PDL) and 5th div(PCSL) soccer teams, as as my local 3rd div hockey team (ECHL). I also try to go to all my old University's Soccer games (I still live in the same city). Although because of the other games I was only able to catch a single match. I also have traveled to four games out of country this year, and am going to seattle next weekend for the MLS final. I still play league soccer and the odd fill in game playing hockey. I have a sailboat and go out about twice a week, and try to hit up the gym three days a week. So yeah I might watch a dozen games a week on tv, but I think its fair to say I'm not too lazy.

Nothing better than everclear and espresso.

For me I will never give up cable until I can get sports with the ease and quality that I can on my TV. Sports really need to be watched live, and unless streaming makes leaps and bounds the internet is not going to catch up with HD TV anytime soon. I always find that on the internet the term HD is used very loosely. HD movies on Youtube don't compare to cable, neither does a single TV show downloaded with bittorrent that is labelled "HD". I have seen some "HD web streams" and they are ... if your lucky ...the same quality as digital cable.

Don't get me wrong, I hate my cable provider with a passion, but I can't give them up.

And still it was the primitive Russian Army that won the war. Technology is great, but in no way a recipe for success. Same still holds true today.

On June 20, 1942 a submarine also attacked a Lighthouse in Vancouver Island in British Columbia. It is the only attack on Canadian soil since the war of 1812, and I believe the only one since. While the attack was pretty useless it did cause all the lighthouses off the coast to be turned off. This was to prevent submarines from using them, but also created a nightmare for mariners. http://www.pinetreeline.org/rds/detail/rds99-34.html

If that were to happen I'm sure you could just use the logo to print you own, no?

Marshall, Texas is part of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The district has been criticized for a perceived bias towards plaintiffs in patent infringement lawsuits, including patent trolls and other holders of dubious patents.
