Backgroud: I took a new job where they have two MAC OS X servers running their web page and mail service. This is in Cedar Rapids, IA - which (if you are in the US) you may have heard flooded this spring. So now our servers are at a new location and the person I took the job from is long gone...

How big should they be? It is a lot of green texture over a map maybe some sand texture. The wind data, geography stuff is already part of the program. Basically everything is there for new course except the arrangement of stuff.

I think shape shifting would get me screwed the most so I will go with that. Find a hot chick, bump into her boyfriend at the bar then go home and give her a quick lay. Hell it might even improve their relationship since "he" would be paying more attention to her.

I am playing this right now and it isn't the toughness of the battles but the problems with camera angles and unintuitive interface which just about ruin it for me. It is often hard or impossible on levels with doorways, or overhangs to see where things are, and the menu is just a pain the butt...

It is kind of amazing. Right now Interstate 80 is closed outside Iowa City which means one of the main trucking arteries for the US has a several hour detour. In CR we are supposed to use water for drinking only since the pumping capacity is only at 25% normal. So today I stink and my mouth...

So the *cheapest* plan would be the $40 for the phone but no data? Will they let you do that? I really don't care that much if I have data since I have wi-fi at most places and I don't need to browse when I don't. $40 isn't too bad for a 2 year plan (not great though) but $70 is too high -...

That sucks but it is a cool toy so you have to put up with odd restrictions. Heck I have no desire for a data plan (opposite of your problem) but they don't seem to care about me either. Hold out hope for Android. If several good phones come out using it perhaps something will come along...

What country are you planning on moving too which is going to tax you less (and provide better services?)

Wow. That is nitpicking to the highest degree. He taught kids at a college, but the college didn't officially list him as a "professor of law".... I saw all my teachers in college as "professors" regardless of what their official job title was. After reading through all three lists I...

Then why did the FDA recently recall 143 million pounds? Oh because someone did an undercover video of the practices. So the question is are you just ignorant or are you willfully lying.

Good point. Of course the understanding then is I drop the phone at 5PM even if I am in the middle of helping someone - after all I am not PAID and I am losing money. Or am I somehow supposed to be screwed out of time but the company can't be? And why exactly does the company have more rights...

Just looked at another story on CNN. Realistically until the world gets the will to remove the ruling junta the people of Myanmar will suffer and die. Unfortunately they don't have oil, and the military didn't tick off our current president's daddy so I don't see any great will on the part...

There are just tons of shortcomings with the Zune software and I would really like someone to put out alternatives as has happened with the iPod but I have never seen any. Why not? Is the market just so tiny that no one has bothered?

Yup. Why lower the price now? The holiday season is when it will actually sell systems so they will save it until then.

Sorry, perhaps "genital reduction with scalpel " would sound better? Which still misses the point. The point is that in the US it is considered perfectly acceptable to slice of portions of a newborn's body, but people are acting like drop a child into a sheet - which in no way...
