The story in "linear" mode boils down to extremely basic, but you get to see Natalie and Teddy's motivations as they unfold. Watching it linear essentially does the hard part for your brain, which allows you to watch the movie. It puts the cause before the effect. I like it, and have made several friends who didn't like Memento sit down and watch it linear, and it usually results in them understanding it a bit better.

Mountain Dew is a Pepsico product. Thanks for supporting Pepsico!

Point to the line in your post where tattoos are either explicitly or implicitly implied as one of the innumerable protections you list.

Not to mention that Futurama has distinct passage of time (in show years, they are currently in the year 3010) while the Simpsons has no linear timeline. Bart is still 10, Lisa is still 8, Maggie is still a baby.

Or Los Estados Unidos for The United States? Or more egregiously, estadounidense/norteamericano for American?

Pound-mass is a unit of mass. lb is a unit of weight that is equivalent to the lbm on Earth.

1 lbm = 1 lb on Earth at sea level. In either event, I agree with the GP that the GGP is being pedantic.

I have an unlocked NAM Motorola Milestone, which is essentially the Droid but works on AT&T 3G. It is entirely unbranded except for the firmware version which has the word "Telus" (The Canadian carrier the phone was originally made for), but I haven't updated mine to Android 2.1 yet so maybe that goes away.

Additionally, since AT&T doesn't know I have it, I only pay $15/mo for unlimited data access versus the $30/mo they want. As long as this continues, I see this as my unsubsidized out of contract price.

The fakes are not worthless, they could technically be considered "art", which is the point of claiming that they have value as a collectible. They may not have value to you or me, but then again I don't have any particular urge to hang the Mona Lisa in my living room, either.

Not the same thing. Maybe if someone says they're heading down to the pub for a pintaa, which would be a phrase that would definitely strike me as odd.

I get a clothing allowance annually to buy "uniforms" (golf polos with the company logo) for work. Add those polo shirts to the countless t-shirts, jackets and pullovers we get throughout the year, and it starts to clutter the closet.

I recently purchased a brand new motorcycle in California, and was not given any sort of temporary tag. All I got from the stealer was the slip of paper that says tags had been applied for, but nothing to mount on the motorcycle. I received my plates in the mail 30 days later. Never got pulled over, though...
