With a son, you only have to worry about one dick. With a daughter, you have to worry about all the dicks.

In many rural areas, water is provided by privately-owned co-ops

The electric service in rural areas is mainly from co-ops, the water is from your own hole and your own pump.

Why do so many Hollywood celebs and pro sports athletes have relationship problems?

My guess is they fail and cheat not much more often then the average relationship, you just hear about them more often. Your neighbor getting a divorce is not worthy of the national news.

Without a destination address, you can't search for a specific distance, what is not true about that?

I agree that any search can only give results IF people provide that information. That was what I thought I was saying.

Add search terms by town/city. That should be close enough to using miles for most people.

xbox town1|town2|town3|town4

or just the area names themselves if you are not looking for a specific item

town1|town2|town3

I use this search method all of the time. Including an RSS link.

The only way you would ever be able to search my miles is if sellers had to put their entire address in their ad. That's not a good idea at all.

If I get caught taking an audio CD from WalMart without paying, I MIGHT get a $50-200 fine. If I download those same 12 songs that were on the CD without paying and get caught, I may get charged $1000-15000 per song, that is about $100000-150000 total. How is the damages from one about 50000X more than the other? I "took" the SAME thing.

I love them.
- Hours and hours of cool information.
- Wildly different topics and "storylines" throughout the book. If you have no interest in a specific section, you can skip to the next section.
- You don't have to read it in an order
- Small and easy to carry around.

No really, a World Almanac!

I watch most of my TV shows through Comcast on Demand. They seem to have about 1/2 the commercials compared to the broadcast version. I can still skip through them but I'm sure they can prevent me from doing that in the future. Similar to what I've seen on Hulu, a 30 second commercial here and there

Facebook has very little to lose and much to gain from getting into various hardware. This phone sales when compared to quantity sold of other models could be a bust but the real goal is not total sales. The more devices on the street that have Facebook integration, the harder or less likely people will be to switch to a competing social network. Think of all of the media boxes and internet connected televisions, blue ray players etc that have things like embedded like Netflix and Facebook. All of the companies with a Facebook presence, the +1 links etc.. IMO, this is why Netflix kept the the Netflix name on the streaming service and renamed the mail order spinoff. Facebook is turning into something similar to what AOL was, a semi walled interconnected community with some central control. They are building it in the other direction though, from open to closed.

I pay very little to no attention to a posts current mod status. I read through the sub threads that catch my eye and give a reply when I have something to add. I don't care if I'm replying to a +5 or a 0. I normally browse at 0 and I rarely see an obviously non troll post rated at 0 so I assume there is even less at -1. Temporary moderators are not picked because of their opinions so if groupthink or common trends are modded down, it truly is what a majority of people on /. would agree with. Not that I think people should moderate with opinion and I try not to but it does happen and different people view different comments differently. That's why I don't pay much very little attention to a comments current mod. As long as moderation system gets rid of the obvious trolls and spammers which it does, I'm perfectly happy with it. I do my part as well and post without the Karma bonus and let the system take my post where ever it needs to go.
