Okay let's start with the good:

I'm aware of how long they stay in service. That's necessitated by the sheer cost of researching and producing them. That's my point: Why not create ships which can more easily have their electrical systems and technology ripped out and upgraded to keep them in service longer, for less money.

That's awesome. The CG in that movie was fantastic, but I love that movie because it not only looked good, but was written well. It is a gem among movies of our time, and is very high on my list of favorite movies.

This is true, however I still feel that the military SHOULD refresh their means of war, but I also feel that they NEED to do a better job of picking their contracts well, and forcing contractors to actually provide things worth the cost they're paying. Otherwise, you're right: We can't afford this.

People are knocking this guy for saying that 1/5 needs to be refreshed... but he's probably right.

He might be right though... You have no idea how OLD the shit the military uses on a regular basis is. Seriously. They use Ancient (Developed 30+ years ago) shit daily, and get charged out the ass ($250,000 for military radios anyone?) for these things by contractors. The best part? That's AFTER prices dropped due to…

Wi-fi tethering with Smartphones.

Dude, seriously? That movie is amazing! What did you work on?

Sorry Netflix, but if you think this is going to make me resubscribe the account I just canceled because of your price hikes, you're sorely mistaken.

Yeah, that option isn't as beneficial as it once was, however I have one about 10 minutes away, so I'm lucky in that respect.

Or people like me, who mostly just rent blu-rays, and see the streaming as a convenience (I'm a whore for surround sound and 1080p, and most streams are missing that), Are going to realize it would be cheaper to drop the streaming altogether. This will effectively lose them money (Since in my case they are trying to…

That's good to know, but like I said, I don't carry, and even if I do get a permit someday, I likely wouldn't carry it on my person.

Well no, I don't carry because I like to avoid violence. However, I was just stating a fact...

I don't carry, but I'd say the safer bet would probably be to give them your cash, and shoot them when they're running away...

Actually someone else gave me a Spotify Invite early. I just hope it will work when service in the US is enabled! XD

Actually, that means over the course of under a year, they've raised my prices by about $6. That's nearly a 33% increase of what I was paying only a year ago.

Answer: $27.98? Yeah, fuck you netflix. I'll probably drop your streaming entirely. That'd bring it down to a more reasonable $20. Assholes.

They didn't during the last increase, and they won't this time either. Trust me, I was one of the hundreds of blog posters the last time they raised the prices (6-8 Months ago IIRC), and they didn't budge.

Fantastic, they already raised my prices to $25.67 for 3 Blu-Rays and unlimited streaming last year...

But will it fit well in a "pocket"?
