Hmm... perhaps you could just put your laptop in an envelope. I wonder if that would work.

I see your point and raise you a generalization; The US is getting to the point where one should just ask "do any of the amendments apply now?".

They can scoop some out of the bowl when I'm done having my Morning Glory, if they're that bothered about how much I had to drink last night.

They can also just ask me. The answer is "If you haven't brought me some black coffee and dry toast in 5 minutes, I'm barfing on your shoes."

Someone please mod the above AC up for me.

How can you quit a game you weren't playing to begin with. And I'm sorry but Bot players are the lowest life forms in the game. It's cheating and they need to get over themselves if they think it's anything but that.

You can draw that distinction, if you like; but the word "issue" in this sense dates from the 14th century legal term "issue", and was used in this way long before you were born. See here for a discussion of different uses of the word: The Issue with Issues

I used to ride a lot in Houston (Clear Lake area). Although people sounding their horns occasionally was a problem, I never had anything thrown at me or any deliberate attempt at an assault. We used to do three 30 mile rides during week days, and a longer ride on Saturdays.

However, I left Houston in 2002. Perhaps it got worse. (At the best of times, Houston resembles a fire ants nest that has been kicked over, with angry fire ants running around all over the place).

People like to pick on easy targets - and you on a bike are an easy target to anyone in a car (he can drive away)

If electric cars don't need gears, why would electric bikes? Electric motors have very high low-end torque and quite high max rpm, so they don't need gears.
      As for wear on the front fork, guess what happens when someone brakes hard? An even higher effort on the front fork than what an electric motor in traction mode might put, as there is some weight transfer to front wheel when braking.

Vaporware?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Vimeo is fine on my desktop and main laptop but it's pretty awful for netbooks and smart phones. Between those sorts of devices and the shear amount of old hardware out there, I would guess the needs of the many would be for something that's not as processor intensive.

That's why PC gaming has always sold less than consoles and consists mainly of old titles being resold and browser based games.

Perhaps you need to listen to you own quote about the needs of the many.

It's not a flaw but the built-in back door promised by MS to the gov't.

Forza is to Gran Turismo as Road and Track is to Top Gear.

Forza is about cars. Gran Turismo is about driving. Until i see crazy shit like the Model T, crazy 60's racers, and the DeLorean in Forza, no sale. Gran Turismo is a love letter to the car. Forza's a book report.

Please allow me to quote Howard Wolowitz from the Big Bang Theory:
"But a better way to look at this is that I'm getting sex and you're not, and that's delightful!"

chinese, in china, are not big spitters or litterers, compared to other places like india for example, and besides, it creates jobs. what chinese men love to do however is an explosive cleansing of the nasal cavity that must be seen to be believed!
