It is planned obsolescence for pure greed, plan and simple. Specifically with the always-on internet connection.

Actually at some point the GAMES for the console with self-destruct, especially if the 'online all the time" method goes through on the newest console systems.

That is how I do it as well, though I do the hacked BBQ sauce (brown sugar, pineapple juice, can of Rotel diced tomatoes and chili and can of tomato paste) The pineapple juice gives it a sweetness to balance the hot peppers and really breaks down the meat.

And I thought *I* had it bad with Matthew Stafford as my QB, with Ryan Fitzpatrick as my backup! Somehow Eli managed to shit the bed almost every week.

We don't have a dishwasher as its not allowed in our apartment, so we just buy paper plates, bowls and plastic ware. Works great for pretty much anything we wish to eat. That way, we've only got a knife and perhaps a pot or pan to clean. MUCH less arguing amongst the family now that we've done that.

Plex wants me to install Bonjour x64. What the hell is that and why should I install it?

As someone who started on a Commodore 64, you never forget your first OS.

But RGIII was going to return the everlasting gobstopper!

Well, I haven't seen anything that works as well as Microsoft Publisher for free, and yes I've tried Scribus. I also happen to think that Excel is much better than the freebie suites, though for basic things you can get away with LibreOffice.

My only concern would be a bounty program sort of thing where "under the table" perhaps a coach might have some financial incentive for someone to run the punter down early in the game since there is much more chance for contact with a punter than an actual place kicker. If the kicker gets hurt in the 1st quarter, you…

As someone that currently has a stent in after they went into my kidney to blast a 2 CM kidney stone, I'd much rather make Mac and Cheese your way.

Yes, because your kids will never have a cell phone and 2 minutes alone in a bathroom to text a naughty picture to someone else. Get real! It doesn't matter how active you are with your children, they are going to do something you don't approve of. And yes, it can take less than 2 minutes to take a nude photo of…

I know in our office, all we'd have to do is undo the bolt on our 60 year old paper cutter and use the lever/blade combination to hack that shit out of that bear. I swear the over/under on fingers missing is at least 5.

Or I could just wait an hour until AAA comes and takes off the tire and puts on the donut one so I can head down to the tire repair shop (or home if its after hours.) That is why I PAY for AAA (70 bucks a year), for towing and emergency services!

definitely woot.com, and specifically deals at woot.com

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Hmmm, and I more like the trendy, disposable boyfriend of Drew Barrymore, or the incredibly witty and timeless gadabout John Hodgman?

Actually I am all for change ... if I am the one choosing to change. When its thrust upon me "FOR MY OWN GOOD because you are a water buffalo for wanting to do it the old inefficient way" .. I might as well just buy Apple products.

Those of us with gas stoves can certain cook eggs.

Whoops, math was off a bit .. 66 per day, or just over 8 per hour.

You wouldn't need 1 million assembly workers. If Apple sold 100 million iPads and 100 million iPhones this year, that would mean 200 products were made per worker. If we went by that math, you could reduce the workers to 10,000 and have each worker assemble 20,000 per year, so for a 300 day work year, they'd make 54 a…
