Only because there aren't any windmills around...

Could he bring the shurikens on board if he were flying from a private airport?

I was there in '08 and '09, and Narita airport seemed much more lax than any of the 4 US airports I went through to get there and back (Cleveland, Newark, Minneapolis, and Salt Lake City). On the way back my last time visiting, I walked right through the metal detector with my belt on in Narita and was fine. When I walked through the metal detector in Minneapolis with the exact same stuff (everything out of my pockets, only my belt which I assumed was fine from before), the same belt set off the metal detector and I had to remove it.

On the whole, however, I was rather pleased with the speed and courtesy afforded to the customers on both sides of the Pacific, and am glad that I haven't been witness to any of these airport horror stories that have come about lately. I just try to be courteous and patient with the people running the airport, and they seem to extend the same back to me.

No, it doesn't. If I can buy a 100 pack of DVDRs and burn one for $0.50, they can buy 1 million DVDRs and burn one for $0.05. They've already paid for the license, so why won't they give you a frickin' disc?

Don't you know that the FBI has William Shatner as their lawyer? Those weren't omissions, they were just accurately quoting his speech!

It's the centripetal forces that are pulling the band towards the center, there is no force pushing the band outwards (the band really just wants to keep going in a straight line, but can't due to the force pulling it inwards). It is easier to illustrate with the weight being swung in a circle attached to the end of a string, where the string is providing the inward force.

I can tell you don't live west of the Mississippi River. There's a LOT of open country to cover out here. Most Interstate Highway speed limits are 80, which means you'll get passed a lot if you do 80. Does this somehow affect your manhood if you are getting passed on the highway? I usually enjoy laughing at the people spun off the side of the freeway during snowstorms that had passed me by a mile back.

Yes! I have seen options in my BIOS where there was a lengthy description about a function in the little column to the right of the settings, and it was CUT OFF at the most important part, because there was no more room. At the least, it could allow for scrolling the description, or even allow the use of a smaller font than 80x24 DOS layout on my 1920x1200 monitor.

That is ridiculous. That's about the fastest over the speed limit I go (maybe 28 in a 25 from a % view), and I drive 45 in 45, 65 on 65mph freeway. Pretty much as slow as you can go without being below the limit.

Being able to get a speeding ticket for that is not right. If you get a ticket for that, it had better be no point on your license and a total fine of ~$10.

Good lord, that's like installing Win7 and putting a Win3.1 frontend on there just so it doesn't look any different!

How will that prevent said head-smashing if you are far away and recording him without his knowledge?

allowing the school district to handle the half-grown hacker.

Oh, they still have plenty of time to overreact on him, just that the police won't be involved.

You are bidding on an xbox 360 box. This box does not contain an xbox 360. It will not play your xbox 360 games. It is a box that you may purchase if you wish to increase the resale value of your xbox 360 by including complete packaging...

Drive by?

Because, usually, the camera is on the opposite side of the phone from the screen. This is one of the few devices we'll have gotten over here that has both regular camera and front facing camera. I remember one old phone that had a camera that you could rotate back and forth (maybe some old samsung?), and then there was the unlocked GSM Touch Pro that had a front facing camera, but it's definitely not a COMMON feature over here yet.
