I've driven in NYC, Boston, Chicago, SF, LA during the freeway shootings (which my observations suggested were largely justified), and San Diego.

I live in Las Vegas with bad drivers from all of the above in no predictable pattern.

The night I learned to drive, my father took me down the aptly named "Blood Alley" in San Jose.

There's only one place I'm afraid to drive: a Roman Catholic parking lot after Mass . . .

*shudder*

Many years ago, long before 9/11 and the TSA, I was flying with my mac powerbook 180. I had difficulty with a security official whose instructions were to make every computer show a c: prompt . . .

No. 80% may use non-apple, but programs try to be about *interesting* people, who are more inclined to iPhones . . . :)

It was a Votrax, wasn't it?

I recall the 2d West Coast Computer Faire, at which I was impressed by the unit. It connected to a parallel port. They had it announcing, "My name is Vo-trax. I can say eneeeething."

Vile hereteic!

For thy sin of requesting ye olde blob, thou art excommunicated from the High Church of Emacs.

There is NEVER an excuse for not handing over all your work, err, releasing the source.

(2 minutes now is too fast? Where's the "it's *ME*, damnit key? [hawk, who has a 4 digit uid as it took him a while to get over the cookies thing)

And now 4 minutes is too soon???

No, you need to plagiarize two separate sources to be research . . .

Since that, though, Texas seceded, and then became conquered territory . . .

>I am curious, how do you think the police should be able to look for people drink driving?

Speaking as an attorney, but not giving legal advice . . .

Most DUI arrests come form being pulled over from something else. Folks aren't generally weaving from lane to lane till about .20 . . .

But inebriated folks do other things that get them pulled over--speeding, lane changes, cutting folks off, and so forth . . .

Funny, I had the same reaction when I read it. He seemed like a salesman for Google or something.

Dear Prince Bernard, If you're talking about my bank account, you're barking up the wrong tree :)

Fair use cases are very fact specific. If you start monkeying with the facts, Judge Chin might not feel the same way about it.

I don't know but please hire me as your lawyer when you do.
