I followed this recipe and the soup ended up being sweet? Is it because I used sweet onions?

Re: This is what happens when you don’t want to tip on your cruise

Pardon if I'm repeating, but as many experienced cruisers will tell you, prepaid gratuities are shared. There are staff behind the scenes who get a share. Also staff you don't see regularly such as buffet staff. By tipping cash those people don't get a share.

Even basic home computers are behind routers and firewalls nowadays. Why would Jeep design a system that sits on the internet unprotected? At least they could use a VPN or something to connect back to a central site.

They should be forced to give users an option to turn off the internet connection.

Research has already shown that its not operating a handheld device that cuases the problem, its the actual conversation that is the distration. So the handheld ban will not do anything except allow government to push the problem away as being solved.

The second problem is many hand-free devices do not allow you to "dial" after the fact and navigate a menu tree, for example.

Re: Liberty: use your BlackBerry with a large display and keyboard - Page 3

Its an interesting product, but if you need to plug it in to a laptop to use it, why wouldn't you just run Outlook on your laptop? If you don't have wifi, you can use the backberry as a modem. If it requires you install something to the host via USB, it probably won't work in hotels and such where they have guest PCs, becuase those would be locked down against software being installed.

Way to misread the survey and fall on the anti-MS bandwagon.

What you didn't mention is that 40% are considering upgraing to Windows 7. That's as opposed to the 14% that adopted XP in its first year.
