The button on my seat that allows me to recline the seat entitles me to the area behind my seat, not you. If you were entitled to it either there wouldn't be recliners on seats or you would have a button on your seat that prevented me from reclining.

given the continuing fervor over this show and the fact that, let's face it, Jewel and others on the show haven't had particularly sterling careers since (not the kind that gets their new endeavors new and recurring comic-con panels at least), I'm shocked they aren't able to attend every one of these panels around the…

Just to be a devil's advocate, as someone else had said, what if it literally HAS cost so much more to keep the addiction rate stable, and if drug war spending were to go down, who's to say the addiction rate wouldn't suddenly ramp upwards?

Not that I could dissuade conspiracy theorists or anything, but

Most likely the audio you're listening to was mixed without your specific sound system in mind, specifically you're probably trying to listen to a ripped 5.1 mix from a blu-ray or DVD into an XVID through two shitty computer speakers, and from levels too quiet to begin with (in your dorm room with your roommate…

See above, but basically while I love my current 17" MBP I find Retina to be overkill, especially since the top MBP only goes to 15" at the moment, and I really do not like how much harder it is to upgrade ram and SDD in the new MBP's. I feel like I can get away with my current MBP for another two years of working on…

I am massively unhappy with the current latest-gen macbook pro, in that while retina is fun, it's overkill, especially since at the moment there are no 17-inch MBP options (though I assume they'll bring it back eventually). But I do not like not being able to upgrade the ram and hard drive on the new ones.

Signs point to a reveal at e3 next year which could mean a release as early as holidays 2013 or as late as 2014. As I said I wanted more of a media center and didn't like the concept of paying for online services (and I already had an Xbox, which I use to mostly play mass effect), so the new PS3 super slim was a good…

Yeah it sounds like I'll use an external to ferry around, and I never really thought about using dropbox for preferences. It won't be easy because I would also want to sync my applications folders (or at least the ones for Adobe, Cinema 4D, and Final Cut Pro), or at least their plugins and preference folders. It does…

headphones, game controllers, amazon giftcards, smartphone docks (for your car or bike), printer ink, basically accessories you know are handy and doesn't matter too much if you have more than one of them?

I bought the PS3 super slim two weeks ago because we recently cut cable and wanted a way to watch Amazon Prime shows in HD on the TV (the PC client doesn't do HD for some reason). I already had an XBox and didn't want to pay for XBox Live Gold. Honestly I only buy like a game or two a year so I bought the PS3 more as…

They can also sync their photos from the camera/smartphone for an extra... 3gb of space I believe? After they sync they can delete the files but the space will remain there. I have 6.4 gigs because of that.

Do the classmates have to sync files back or are you using dropbox to only give them files?

Next year I'll probably build myself a hackintosh as my 17" macbook pro slowly ages itself out. What's the smoothest way to be able to use both systems concurrently (the hackintosh at home, the mbp while on the road) and have them synced up as much as possible when I get home?

So you're saying that items HAVE to be repaired, you're not allowed to replace them? What if the item is unrepairable or would cost the same to repair as to replace? What if the apartment DID come with an expensive stove to begin with? As I said people are reacting to your comment as they are because your concept…

It's an extreme case but your rule does not preclude it from happening. Many apartments come with a stove, and the landlord is responsible for maintaining the stove, including replacing it if it stopped working) so if the lease says "if your stove breaks you can repair or replace it yourself and deduct it from the…

because the courts and the lease are actually pretty good as far as protecting the tenant's rights are concerned, though you will need to take your landlord to court about it (but once you do the odds are stacked strongly against the landlord, especially in cases of withholding security deposits and evictions). the…

Please just tell me there is no relation to the separate facts that:

We agree on most things, so I'll just play devil's advocate and say that I didn't say they had a contractual duty to make you money, they had a contractual duty to make sure they're doing their best to return my investment. Yes, everything's a risk, but the contract goes "I am giving you money so you can make XX…

30 pin cables can be unofficial but they're still licensed. But I'd love your recommendation for a really good 3rd party magsafe adapter.
