Correction: "last I checked, I see stories in my Giz Ad List." Gawker is ridiculous

If you view a car as an appliance, which is why people buy stuff like Civics, the answer is "who cares"

Please don't judge american car makers by the impala. Yes, it's an epic turd, but that's like eating a McDonalds cheeseburger and declaring that all cheeseburgers on earth suck

I would really like to know what the threshold is for the throttling. As I've already seen pointed out, the 2 gigs a month plan was supposed to satisfy 97% of users. If they are going to throttle the top 5%, you can reason that throttling could happen at 2 gigs a month or less. So what exactly am I paying the…

"Think of wage inequality as the reason why similarly trained people in the same industry can be paid vastly different sums."

i really don't think the surround sound is going to do much like that

The flip side of this is that because content is "not on a disc or in a glossy magazine," means the logistics of sharing and selling these products go straight out the door. Companies need to be realistic with the costs they put on things.

that was my exact thought. i was recently in the hospital visiting a family member, and i saw a free-floating wall toilet like this in a bathroom there - with a bucket type thing underneath to support it. whether it was a precautionary measure, or they learned the hard way, obvious design flaw.

i can't believe no one suggested sleeping in the basement. it's always a good bit cooler in a basement.

i just use my ipad for this purpose - there are plenty of apps that will do this via wifi, and they work well. you're not going to be gaming on the thing, but for basic use, it's fine. it's not like a USB monitor is going to be good for gaming, etc anyway.

I lost over 200 lbs between 2004 and 2006, and you're absolutely right, being in shape absolutely makes summer much more bearable. But being in southwest virginia, you probably don't realize the impact it has on winter. When I was at my lowest weight, I FROZE the entire winter. With minimal body fat on my body,…

i did exactly what you are mentioning yesterday already- i went from the 2 dvd's plus streaming plan to 3 dvd's no streaming. My bill is only going up a dollar, which is well worth it to me. I'm actually happy they gave me the choice. Of the 110 or so movies on my queue right now, a whopping 15 are available via…

I guess I worded my original comment strangely. Read it as "a CFL in winter throws as much light as a lightning bug", not "a CFL throws as much light as a lightning bug in winter."

screw light bulbs (pun semi-intended), I'm still pissed I can't buy straight gasoline anywhere within 50 miles of my house due to similar bs legislation. This sort of shit needs to end, now.

i'll never give more than 2 weeks notice again for two reasons.

worked fine on RCN last evening, although i was surprised to not find a weekly comics torrent posted, and i had to go to demonoid for it

ms sql 2000 is kind of a dealbreaker too. i'd really want to see at least 2005 there

Can anyone here recommend a quality .NET host in the same price range as godaddy?

now how about dropping the price of some of the accessories? i've been eyeing up the keyboard since day one, but $80 for just the keyboard? really? and for ps3, there's not even a bundle price with the game to save a few dollars like wii or xbox. which of course screws me, because despite having a wii, i bought…

oddly enough, in the last 2-3 months, Marvel has introduced the concept of a ".1" comic, which is designed to recap the current storylines and be a jumping on point for new readers.
