I was just laid up with a 24 hour bug and watched the first half a season of Firefly just to have something familiar yet entertaining to distract me from the nausea. Faint praise, perhaps, but I laughed out loud, cared about the characters, and was left wanting more.

I’m totally with you. 250 isn’t like the outer reaches of the bell curve (although I am 6’6”.) I would think a little over engineering to 300 would not be overly difficult and be safer for a larger (pun!) portion of the population.

Yep. It was like a Robert Altman film in that way. Except in space. With a killer xenomporph.

The symptoms Kelley displayed at the plutonium-processing facility, character- ized by collapse and mental incapacita- tion, were the first stage of his clinical course (what is now know as the most severe form of acute radiation syn- drome). The second stage began when he arrived in the emergency room of the Los…

So if there isn’t a line then it mows my neighbor’s yard? What about the boulevard on the other side of my sidewalk which is the part the city gets all uptight about if I don’t mow it?

Ball's in your court, Lego.

Ahem...The Galaxy Song.

I watched the same way. 720p most likely but the artifacts, especially in the dark scenes (90% of the show) were very distracting and made it look SD. I'm hoping it will get better as they work on it. Cutting DirecTV at the end of May.

Agreed. That is by far the most impressive athletic move by Kobe I’ve ever seen. Control of a sociopath.

Which is now...

Well, GoT debuts this weekend but they won't show the final episode until the end of June. So they'll get $30 from me at least. But I can see myself not canceling just out of sheer inertia. $15 isn't a big deal financially speaking . My DirectTv bill is another matter.

I don’t have HBO Go so I can’t make a comparison. I do know that GoT will be there, some very good movies are there. If there are differences they are small.

Signed up for HBO Now. It's like Netflix but movies I kinda want to watch.

If you know of an easy drop-in-your-home-network IP camera that works as well as DropCam et al without all the server side subscription nonsense and is $99 or less, I’d like to hear about it. Closest I’ve found is a $49 IP camera that by all accounts require some significant hacking to get to work.

Make it $99 and I'll buy

Point is physical stores are not dead weight. (See Wal-Mart, Target, etc) Poor execution for sure, but physical locations are still important and really the only value Sears has left. And, you are incorrect; they were able to diversify because of their strength in retail. Discover would not be a thing unless it was…

Will you be my friend?

The stores weren’t “deadweight” and they could’ve persued a multi-channel approach like they (and all other retailers) are trying to accomplish today. And their management had been spot on many times before (Credit services, Discover, unified service channels). But you’re right in that they missed an opportunity of a…

Go during a volksmarch. You get up close and personal!
