Yea I think that's why immortality will never work. Time speeds up dramatically the old you get and it's harder and harder to recall things from the past. I suppose there would be some kind of short term memory thing but unless he has some kind of super brain, he's going to start forgetting things and mixing things…

Right? It wasn't big news for some reason and didn't even show up on Bernard Cornwell's website. Very excited about it though.

Most news sites wait to get their content influenced by corporate overlords until after they get big (and build trust). They're just getting a head start and not waiting to build trust in an audience. Why bother?

Geez what happened in Mexico?

So basically what you're saying it's it's John Winchester's fault.

Yes! When BSG ended and Stargate went away...and suddenly we started seeing focus on wrestling! On the SciFi channel! Go back to your roots. And we'll stop thinking of you as the cheesy channel.

Why are the richest, most privileged, and powerful people in this country the ones who are so sure they are being oppressed and the most vocal about it?

Unfortunately, journalists have to get paid and, especially on the web, page views matter. Being sensational over mundane gets you more page views and gets you more money. It's frustrating but necessary, much like the ads we view.

Or or....someone could get on with Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Chronicles about Arthur. It's literally exactly what studios want and is so popular now. I know they're doing his Saxon Series but all of his books are just a gold mine for television. Of course, Sharpe's already been done and basically launched Sean Bean's…

She never said that. She loves things that explode in her mouth.

I miss KFC actually. Unfortunately since I was diagnosed with celiacs disease I can't even really enter a KFC. I can make my own breading though and do my best apoximation of it though. Not quite the same though.

It's a problem with the generation of free that Google has gotten us all used to. We are used to getting everything for free and tolerating ads. What that means though is that we are the product, not the customer, and advertisers are the customers buying us. There is nothing inherently wrong with that as long as we…

Each to his own. It's not a fanboy thing. The Mac trackpad is one of the best in the industry. It has a real border that works very well. But if it's not for you that's fine; not everyone likes everything. You don't have to say it's awful and that anyone who likes it is a fanboy.

What analogy? And yes, I'm actively rooting against humanity. In reality.

I agree with most of your points except your final one. CurrenC requires new hardware. NFC requires new hardware that retailers are required to get anyway and as we've seen, most already have.

CurrentC will be so difficult no one will use it unless retailers pay them to, which will wipe out the savings from not paying CC fees. Also the retailers who support it is just over 110,000. That's under half of the current supporters of Apple Pay and probably way less than Google Wallet (although that number will…

Apple Pay is supposed to cut down on fraud, which is why the banks and the credit card companies are footing the bill with Apple, not the merchants. If fraud really drops, there is no reason those fees should ever get passed on to the merchant or the customer.

If I have to accept that (as a man AND a victim of sexual abuse) I just lose all faith in humanity. I want to change things. If that means collapsing the American economy, then so be it.

You sound like you agree with the author though that Apple Pay is better. I used Apple Pay a few times since it came out. You tap your phone (no turning it on), it asks for your fingerprint and then...done. That's it.

I don't know. Maybe it will go to live on a farm. At any rate, the actual dog won't die. Being upset about the fictional dog dying is just as bad as being upset about a fictional dog's name.
