Pizza is so expensive in China, and there's basically just the big chains like Pizza Hut or Papa Johns (latter one wasn't too bad)

Anyway about my own best, in Denmark, and generally the places with italian owners are better, the balkanese or turkish owned places are also alright, gotta say that I prefer the thin crust, simple topping, soft edge style pizza over the cheesed-up american deep-pan.

Also I don't like that way many american places makes their pizzas with tomato and cheese and bake it in advance, so when the customer decides what to top it with, it's baked again with the selected topping. I guess they don't do so everywhere, but that's really a sure way to make pizza taste boring, never saw this way of making pizza before my first visit to the US.

All I can say is that there's got to be a reason why Pizza Hut tried and failed in Denmark, lots of good options, no need for a "standard" to keep quality up.

But what about your own picture? Are you showing the other party the palm of your hand?

Has Apple corrected one of its flaws by hiding a conference camera behind the screen of the newer generations of the iPhone or is an alternative approach still necessary?

Hey, you know my neighbours!

Despite guns not being legal here to others than police, athlete shooters and hunters, they still manage to shoot after eachothers in public.

Well, despite that I'm personally not very fond of guns, I can't let go of the thought that all the restriction of firearms does here, is to guarantee that only authorities and bad guys have guns.

While I trust the police and military here very much, I don't trust that bad guys will only shoot after bad guys or the police. I would like more liberal laws around defense weapons here, not even pepper spray is legal.

However, I would not mind if getting a permit would require some training and testing, and I would not mind to be registered so the police would know if and what weapon I have, they could also very well limit how powerful it would be allowed to be and how many guns I could have, but I would like it to be more liberal than it is.

This is exactly what I evaluate when choosing OS. One this is corporate class support, the other is what the OS itself supports.

I don't know if it has been fixed today, but when I last tried and tested OpenSolaris as a replacement for my Linux, I ended up ditching it because of lacking support for Bluetooth.

While this particular feature isn't vital to a server, other features may be. So my general advice to OP would be first to make clear what the requirements are, and put priority to the corporate support vs. license question. Since OpenSolaris and BSD are what's left to decide between, I would guess the license isn't that important.

So if OpenSolaris supports all the hardware and features needed for the task, I would go for that in a corporate environment, because of the posibility of corporate class support. If the company already have plenty of experienced un*x admins to provide a 24/7 3hr support on its own, I'd say go for FreeBSD, because development is more agile than OpenSolaris, new features and hardware are supported quicker on this platform, and given you have these skillfull admins already, the new stuff could be made to work easily.

Hmmm I wonder if the previous flights that NWA operated codesharing with KLM will then lose this benefit too when they're now Delta...

It's important to remember that not all equipment works with a 110-250V range, at least remember to check it.

As for the plug adapter, I have two, one of those terrible multi-plugs which slides and all, mostly because in some countries, you never know what plug your hotel has chosen to settle on. However for the american plug I found a brilliant kind of plug that allowes almost anything to be plugged into it, bought it for $4 in one of New York's chinatowns.

For charging my phone, i bought a cable that uses the USB to charge it, since i have one where you can enable USB power to stay on while the computer is off, besides, many phones charges from USB even without a special cable.

I usually don't bring more electronics than that, sometimes a camera, but I prefer to experience things rather than seeing them on an LCD.
Hotels most often include wifi in the room price, and internet stations in their lobbies, I see no reason to stalk an internet café, disgusting keyboards, and some are very noisy as many are about gaming these days.

How are the british rules about inspecting/confiscating electronics? Can they do like they can in US, i mean, confiscate with no reciepe nor time limit?
Not that i believe the OP would be much happier losing it on the way home.

it's such a hassle to convince security that it's alright for you to bring a bottle of liquids on board the plane, anal lube may be okay if put into a sealed clear plastic bag.

Anyway most (non-discount) airlines offer free drinks during intercontinental flights, including whisky.
I don't know if there's a legal drinking age in the air, but I've never heard them ask anyone for ID.

hmmm... not wearing a watch can be just as much a statement as wearing one.

But you're right, watches are much longer standing statements of style and status than any mobile phone, which will anyway be changed every 6-12 months.

I've not been wearing a watch for several years now, I do find it troublesome to pull out my phone for it and it certainly isn't something to attract ladies. However not wearing a watch may signal "I've got time for you", "I can manage my day unassistedly" or "I'm not handcuffed to time", and I always show up on time.
All I'm saying is that not wearing a watch can be just as strong a signal as wearing a Rolex or whatever, as long as you're not a slack regarding time.

However you do lose opportunity of looking busy and checking your watch if you're in a situation you'd rather escape from.

1200 in the US die every day from smoking related illnesses 135 of these are from passive smoke 115 fatal car accidents happen every day in the US (no mention of how many die in each)

People die from one or the other, but how much is a life worth?

Passive smoke and roadkill isn't that different really. Where the real hipocracy is, is when life-time smokers expect expensive treatment to keep them alive for another 5 years.

As a rake (and smoker) myself, i am already aware of the years (of boring life) I won't get, I need no treatment, i may live 5-10 years shorter, but i enjoyed every single day of what i had. As for the 135 passive smoke deaths, it could be avoided with considerate smokers, just as considerate drivers rarely kill anyone.

Liberty isn't just about money, guns and cars, it's just as much about what kind of life you wanna lead urself.

UAC is not a security barrier. It is trivial for programs to bypass, especially in win7. Its purpose is to make running as admin a bit more like running as a limited user and thereby push developers towards making their programs function well under limited user accounts (the long-term goal).

This page is a good starting point for UAC security, esp. under win7: http://www.pretentiousname.com/misc/win7_uac_whitelist2.html.
