don't go to Dave and Busters unless you're ready to waste a lot of money.

For St. Patty's day check out Fado in Buckhead.

I work as a tutor in a college writing center. I've occasionally had students try to turn in papers and leave, asking us to edit it for them. We're not a paper editing service, and though I don't speak for my college, I think that would be dishonest. We sit down with them and help them realize what they're doing in their papers.

I'd say this borders on dishonesty.

Yeah, let them sit with their answers for a minute before moving on to the next question. It might seem odd but a lot of the time they add something.

No, that doesn't look like either of them.

I did my first trip with little more info than what I found on Ken Kifer's Bike Pages. For this summer I'm planning a 2,000 mile trip across much of the U.S. and I don't think much of the planning will be different.

As far as the Adventure Cycling maps, I'd say skip them. Find your own route (while checking safety and all) and find your own adventures.

Don't overpack, try to camp everywhere you can (should cut down costs), most rain gear... [more]

Maybe check traffic statistics with the state's DOT.

Did you try starting windows in Safe Mode and then running Ad Aware?

Try listening to Apples in Stereo and also Neutral Milk Hotel.

Head on over to the shop where you bought your bike and ask away. They'll be glad to help you get into cycling.

I love how people talk about things they don't know about as if they were the top expert on them.

You might want to try starting Windows in Safe Mode and then running both Spybot and Ad Aware.

Do you want to tour or just go on a few rides?

I actually bought one on ebay for my IBM ThinkPad A20m (it's a little old). The new one has been pretty good, not as good as the IBM battery when I got the laptop, but still better than the half hour or so I get out of my old battery. I use the old battery if I'm keeping the laptop plugged in and the new one when I'm travelling.

I'll second what bonehead said, and i'll point you towards this being discussed on the bicycling.com forum.
