And this is where it breaks down... the now artificial denomination of "region".

So what you're saying is that the modern day Tennessee is... what... EXACTLY like Michigan from a hundred years ago?!?

One could say that about any industry really. The point is no longer to produce a product for hundreds of years, the point is now to make a product where people will buy your stock now, or where the company gets sold and you make millions. Nobody with a C at the beginning of their title is thinking long term any…

+1 for reading. It's probably why the Koreans build better cars than we do these days anyway.

For what it's worth... I'd watch a reality TV show of that Leaf-Owens kid growing up, going to school, being forced to mow the lawn, trying to decide what version of milk to buy in the store, whatever.

Yes, this. Plus a million-man-march. The fact that it was essentially a non-issue is an excellent indicator of where we are today.

Just make a new post and link it to the original. Otherwise, break it down by era... since that would seem to be the defining factor in how society accepted them, and essentially the point of the article.

Plastic is a horrible conductor, it's why it's used as covering for electrical wires and whatnot. So anything covered by plastic won't transfer heat very well, thus it won't cool very well either. It's why the "pros" use stones.

I'll see if I can get some pictures when I get home tonight... but mine is almost exactly like this, with a Lack shelf supported by an additional 4 legs on top. The weight from the TV goes onto the corners of the Expedit instead of the middle. The TV and speaker stands are on the top of the Lack, the AV equipment…

Yes and no.

Not that it's a great ideal to compare ones self to... but this is exactly how Honda got into the SUV market. Rebadge somebody else's vehicle, see if the market's profitable, then redesign it yourself.

I'll be honest, I have no idea with video. I thought iTunes un-DRMed their music downloads years ago. If that's still the case then I'd imagine that any ChromeCast enabled app that can find the file itself will work.

Are they files that are stored locally on your phone? If so, then just open them up in Chrome.

I probably won't pay for the PayPerView, but I'd gladly chip in a few bucks to take a couple swings at Zimmerman with a baseball bat/golf club/pipe wrench/whatever came next in line in the Airplane movie.

I found a few on Ebay for under ten bucks. That even beats most of the universal remotes.

iTunes files stored locally do fine. Just use the TabCast function and point Chrome to the local file and it'll play.

I don't actually know, but I thought the same thing. I'm half tempted to put in a wifi router that ISN'T connected to the internet to stream some movies that are stored locally.

I think I'm with everybody else. I bought my TV from Circuit City... and even it has a pair of HDMI ports in the back.

Tell you what, since apparently ANYTHING can be used against you, just put your name down on the piece of paper and see what that gets you. In fact, since that gives away quite a bit as well, don't even put that, just send in a blank piece of paper.

Some of them do have the "games" like the caber toss, sheaf toss, even a blessing of the haggis if you're so inclined to call that a sport. But the "games" are often more about community and heritage than what either the movie or your picture give it credit for.
