Thanks for the link ^_^ My service is crap for large downloads via Google Play right now but for some reason, file lockers are working just fine. I guess I can't complain too much though, the service issues are getting me 75% discounts until they're resolved.

I truly love the TV cartoons in GTA V. While I was wearing certain clothing for ten days on a 'Strangers and Freaks' mission for Michael, I just sat him down in front of the TV and actually watched some of the programming. It was hilarious ^_^

I'd take the profit and buy another ticket for either game 1 or 2 with the proceeds.

Don't forget Michigan, we don't have required vehicle inspections either ^_^

Evernote requires that you use SMS based two-factor to authenticate yourself before allowing you to choose Google Authenticator. After you receive the code by email, enter it, and then the next code by SMS, and enter that one, you are allowed to choose to use an authentication program on iOS, Android, or BBOS.

Back when the Shock played in Detroit (technically Auburn Hills), I got tickets in the fourth row for $15 on a few occasions and I knew people who got floor seats for $50. It's pretty bad how cheap WNBA tickets are.

Well, dentists do recommend that you brush after every meal but, most understand that doing so after a mid-day meal is impractical. So, most that I've talked to say that doing so upon waking and before bed is alright.

It sounds like you're at the part where you have to go to the dealership during the day. There should be a yellow cylinder outside the front door. That's where you go to start the mission. I remember that there's no call or anything to set that one up so it can get a little confusing figuring out what to do to…

For your second bullet, I always thought that the 'explanation' was that computers are too predictable and humans can trick them by doing unpredictable things (I know that one's bad, a sapient AI would be able to pull off unpredictability better than a human anyway). Also, concerning your last statement about the…

True, however, most game system abbreviations (when a significant part of the name is the same as previous iterations) try to maintain internal consistency. Dropping the 'b' from this one loses this. Although, we'll probably have to just wait and see which abbreviation (or none at all) wins out as most commonly used…

Yes, when you want someone to know what you're talking about. The original Xbox, with its four character name, didn't get abbreviated anywhere that I saw. The Xbox 360 generally gets abbreviated as XB360. Following that pattern, given the fact that the new Microsoft console is named the Xbox One (stylized in that…

In fact, I do the same thing in the other direction for outbound calls from my cell phone. No one sees my actual cell number anymore, just my Google Voice number.

The funniest thing about that 40 week straight Worst of the Worst champion Buttfumble, is that this week it went up against Rex Ryan's choice to play Sanchez in the third preseason game, Sanchez's injury, and Ryan's subsequent press conference meltdown all in one. The Buttfumble still won with 85% of the vote. Not…

You can still kill the shutter sound but it's just not legal. I know that on certain Android devices it's just an audio file in the system partition. Delete it and no more sound.

I have to say though, this particular divided Congress seems to be worse than most at actually getting anything done. I wonder how close we'll come to a government shutdown this year ^_^

To expand on dbx6's comment, the sensor [of an ionization type smoke detector] contains a tiny amount of radioactive material (usually Am-241), which ionizes air in two chambers. One chamber is a sealed reference chamber and the other is open to the outside. The detector compares the ionization of the air in both…

The EC rating is generally used for those 'edutainment' games for young children. For example Dora the Explorer: Journey to the Purple Planet. I found that one after a quick Google search for 'games rated EC'. Also, Wikipedia has a nice list of AO rated games ^_^

Miles? You mean 24140.16 blocks right ^_^

Hmm...ok then. I may just have to drag the laptop along for the trip or do something dumb like use Team Viewer to play from my computer...or just wait until I get back....

The Surface Pro (and any other x86 Win8 tablets) will run Steam. I don't know if they will run Steam well but since they are just Windows 8 computers in a tablet form-factor it'll at least install.
