Another thoughtful, insightful analysis. Joan demonstrates the we have not lost the quality and depth many of us thought was lost forever with the passing of Kael and Ebert.

THIS is the real answer: this problem is strictly caused by airlines reducing seat distance (“seat pitch”) to cram in one or two more rows. Quit excusing the airlines by being misdirected into ridiculous discussions of whether the recliner is impolite/at fault/mean etc. and stick to the point: airlines should provide…

In some states you can end up on SOR for urinating in public (technically, indecent acts/indecent exposure).

As someone who worked in consumer billing for a large corporation I would never permit any automatic charges against any credit card or bank account. While the consumer will get their money back in case of errors, the key word here is “eventually”. Doubled charges, mis-charges, difficulty and delays in canceling…

You can download setup files (they’re called .debs) and install them. The problem with non-package manager installs on linux *and* windows is that it’s easy to to be missing additional libraries or be on the wrong version, resulting in weird errors (“dll hell” anyone?).

Rhythmbox works well for managing music on ipods/iphones, but you definitely need access to an itunes on a vm if you need the whole apple life.

Thanks - I’m not much of a gamer, so I’m not up on the current state of affairs with Steam.

This is exactly what I’ve done. After I got a W7 running in VirtualBox correctly, I snapshotted it. I can dump the image if anything ever goes wrong and start afresh with the original image.
