Online poker sites take a rake just like a normal casino. Why would an online casino jeopardize their entire business by rigging games when they get paid whether you win or lose?

If they ever get caught they lose all their credibility and likely their future profit, just like what happened to UltimateBet and Absolute Poker.

Windows Vista was around 50 million lines of code. Squeezing twice that into a car seems improbable.

Unless you have something like an Lexmark Z1300 which contains a chip on the ink cartidge that tracks the ink level, you can refill it all you want but it won't recognize the ink unless you figure out some way to reset the chip.

I got the printer for around $25 bucks so I certainly got what I paid for, I think I'll be going with a Canon next time.

It also depends where you live. 120k in Montana will get you a lot further than 120k in New York.

That's exactly what they did.

The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe is an excellent book about the early days of the Mercury program. The first astronauts were test pilots but they felt the Mercury program made them glorified monkeys sitting in a can. The flight of the rocket was computer controlled and they were only along for the ride, test pilots were on the bleeding edge of flight where they had control.

When Chuck Yeager was trying to beat the previous speed record of Mach 2 he managed to get to Mach 2.44 then lost aerodynamic control at 80,000ft, the airplane tumbled down 51,000ft in 51 seconds before he was able to regain control. He managed to land the plane safely.

If you want to lose an hour or two have a look at TV Tropes.

I agree, the things we can do with China's money are amazing!

I can't use a laptop keyboard to near my regular level of productivity. I only have to use a laptop for work from time to time and whenever I do I always plug in a regular sized keyboard if one is available.

The laptop keys don't have the same feel, some are in strange places, no regular number pad. Less lack of division between the keys, regular keyboards have that nice gap between the tops of the keys.
Making the Esc and Del keys bigger is a good idea in my view but it still isn't going to get me to use a laptop keyboard unless I'm forced to.

My work has standardized on IE 6 as well due to the mountains of IE6 specific code in their web applications.

I'd like to know if has anyone tried migrating slowly installing Firefox with IETab and using Firefox for normal browsing and IE for the internal apps only?

If so do you have any advice?

How about running Firefox with the IE Tab addon and IE6 installed? I haven't tested it but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

We're probably screwed in the appeals but there is a fairly simple solution for new arrests which I think is already in place in some jurisdictions.

Get a court order to make them take a blood BAC test when they get to the station.
