+100 internets to you, my good friend.

Wow, just checked on Steam and BO2 is *still* $60 a year later. Crap.

People like me do. And for the last couple of years, we actually don't buy these AAA FPS games any more. The last one I bought was Spec Ops: The Line and I really enjoyed because it actually had an interesting single player campaign. Before that it was Black Ops 1 (I might get BO2 now that the price is lower).

You don't. You just make sure that when you come out of the water you pull the charging handle back a little bit to clear any water out of the barrel and chamber. It will fire just fine after that.

Netflix and Google All Access Music both have the right idea and they each get about $10 of my money every month. Steam does too (well, they get my money when they have a good sale a few times a year). If you make access to the content (music, movies, games) "easier than free", then you get my business. If you put…

That's what LastPass is for. Every site of the hundred-plus sites that I log into has a 12-20 character completely random password generated via LastPass. I have no idea what my Amazon or Netflix passwords are. I do know that the 25+ character master passphrase for LastPass is easy for me to remember and extremely…

My experience with the commissary system was the exact opposite. We shopped there one time, said "it's cheaper and easier to just go to the HEB" and never went back. I also didn't like the fact that you have to let the baggers take the bags to the car and also tip them. If I can shoot, move, and communicate from…

What sucks is that the never had the Garlic Bread flavor anywhere near me. I liked the Sriracha (I put it on everything anyway), and was surprised at how much I liked the Chicken and Waffles flavor, but I never got to try the Garlic Bread. It does seem like the "safe" (read "bland") choice, though.

All 6 of the volunteer firefighters are missing and presumed dead at this time. They were trying to evacuate the area and got as many people away from the plant as possible A lot more people would have died if they weren't out there doing their jobs. Making fun of the first responders who evacuated the school,…

I haven't used shampoo or conditioner in 3 years. I keep my hair short but during the times when I decide to grow it out longer it is fluffy and soft.

Depends on the situation. Where I work, no one who uses that bathroom would be inconvenienced if someone uses the handicap stall, so I don't mind using it. In a public bathroom I'll usually go to the first one that looks clean and leave the handicap stall available. If I have to use that one in public, I don't feel…

Wait, there are still states that put the sticker on the plate itself and not on the inside of the windshield next to the inspection sticker?

I'm in the same boat. I just learned that there is a new beta for Swiftkey Flow available for download. I'm going to try Swype 1.4 Beta and see if I like it.

Yes, when you factor in the high infant mortality rate. Life Expectancy is an average, you know. It's not like old Grok had a Life Clock crystal in his hand and just keeled over at 30 (a la Logans Run). Plenty of paleolithic people lived to their 40's and 50's and 60's.

The grocery store chain in my city (HEB) is experimenting with a hybrid single line express lane in a few stores and it seems to work very well so far. They replaced their self-serve machines with 4 express cashiers fed by a single line and this area takes up the same amount of space but is much faster.

Hear, hear!! The Wool/Shift books are wonderful, and a breath of fresh air from the overblown, paid-by-the-word monstrosities that the major publishers have been putting out lately.

I experienced this same effect a few years ago when HD TV was brand new. They were playing the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie on Blu-Ray on a 60" TV at Best Buy. It was actually too high definition to the point where it looked like actors in bad makeup jumping around a plywood set of a ship, and not like…

Please let this be good....I can't wait.....

Someone needs to tell them to stop hiring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter in the same movies, too.

Hear, hear. I am a Texan and consider myself moderately left on social issues and moderately right on fiscal issues (so I guess I'm a crazy hippy socialist by current GOP standards). I'm so sick of the GWB/Perry era in Texas politics. Where's Ann Richards when you need her?
