Right on, thanks for the info... one day, not having a cable box will still allow you legit access to specific content.

MCE setup? Windows Media Center? Or? I'm interested in cable box alternatives that would get me HBO Go. Thanks.

You're right, the HBO GO app is a good thing, but rock.bigman's point is that you still need a cable box to get HBO GO. That undermines the "Xbox 360 Is Now Officially A Cable Box Killer" point trying to be made by this post.

How has NASA failed entirely in its responsibility to the nation?

If I can't have access to all my Groupon and Amazon Local coupon email, I may, in fact, die.

90% of all NASA employees are managers? That is not the case where I work. Where I work it's more like:

A lot of people who support SpaceX and private space exploration companies seem to miss the critical difference between a SpaceX and NASA: responsibility to the nation. SpaceX and others do not have a responsibility to the American people. They can close up shop anytime they want to. That means, your space program…

The Catholic Church asked the same thing of Galilio in the early 1600's.

The Chinese have consistently hacked NASA servers and spied on NASA employees over the last fifteen years. The U.S. has been aware of this and the advancements the Chinese have made in their space exploration initiative, knowing full well the Chinese want to get to the moon as soon as possible. The U.S. response: cut…

I agree. I will say that I appreciate the fact they warn you that Push isn't included before you buy. Not all app devs do that.

He had the guy doing push-ups and hitting the pads before playing WoW.

Lot's of positive comments regarding NASA's funding. That's good to see. Don't forget to let your representatives know and, if you're old enough, vote accordingly.

No worries! I hope your buddy is doing well, post-NASA contract. He was probably a part of the old regime whrn subcons were treated rather poorly. That kind of dynamic still exists here, but it is less severe. My current supervisor is a former subcon and has nightmare stories about what she had to endure. So good on…

No Ken Block?! No Gymkhana?!

Freelancing doesn't happen at the NASA location I call home. The IT folks are a mix of employees and subcontractors from Lockheed Martin or other companies. I've worked for NASA for ten years and have never heard of anyone doing freelance work for any task, including watering the plants in the buildings.

Flat iron steaks can be great. All you need to do is go to Trader Joe's and look for their marinated flat iron steak. They use, I believe, a chipotle base. At any rate, it's killer! It's marbled just enough to be flavorful and tender. Just come up with your seasoning and you have a great red meat option.

Haha, "human burritos."

Hide your food in the trees to thwart bears? Now you can hide yourself in trees! And your food! One in the same... anyway.

Haha! It does look like they used pickles!

Good info!
