Yeah the iSafe, but it would get jail-broken too quickly ...

Yes, this country has really become a nation of wusses. Why, back in my day, when your water bill called you an asshole you just took it like a man and paid on time without complaining.

You can see right through this one.

True, they are creating the technology... we think. But appropriating exact UIs, the exact images for their patent application... Seems a bit lazy for a 500M$ project. BTW those student projects were more about the UI than the tech. And a UI is more than an "idea". If you think UIs are not patentable you might check…

The new LED lights will improve the view of the entire game....

Many states still require pre-marriage blood tests for STDs but, interestingly, these tests typically do not detect the presence of HIV. The tests have nothing to do with detecting a genetic relationship between the marriage license applicants.

I have loads of empathy with most people and the situations they are in. However, if you take a job whose design by nature is to antagonize and thwart customers wishes, I have no empathy for them. Imagine if you were returning a product at a store. You go to the service counter and ask for a refund. By your terms…

Oh, my god! It's full of stars....

Yeah, I'm with you on your scenario. Been there too. However, in this case, they wouldn't cancel her account without sending it to a retention "specialist" whose only job is to get the customer to stay and that is how they are compensated. Therefore, in my mind, Comcast started it first by running her through hoops…

The only problem with that theory is that telemarketers routinely purchase phone lists from other telemarketers and the givers are always starred. NEVER give money over the phone, you're inviting yourself to be put on a list for every money hungry telemarketer on the planet. They'll pass your number along faster than…

You have to understand, the only vaginas with which these particular old, white gentlemen have ever had any experience were dry and unwilling.

Actually Concrete per yard can weigh anywhere from 2500 to over 3000 lbs. So 4 yards is like 10,000 to 12000 lbs (or more depending on the concrete)

These accidents are not the fault of the architect, but from a shitty general contractor.

Oh, I couldn't disagree more. Each has their place and I do love being able to carry a whole collection of books in a very compact package for my commutes, nothing beats the physicality - the texture, the heft, and even the smell if your books are leather-bound - of an actual book in one's hands. If you consider…

Same. The Cove just about did me in, too. Maybe I'm getting soft in middle age, but I am fucking delighted that I can walk down my street, end up at the beach and watch orcas and seals in the Sound.

Let's never underestimate animals, the bottomline is that Lolita is someone's property, bought and paid for, and locked up to amuse humans for a profit. The thing is that no one is bothered enough to try returning her to the wild. Researchers have found out that orcas live with their mother's pod for life and learn…

I'm in the same boat, and it's pretty frustrating.. we have Lennox's 'smart' touchscreen thermostat because it's the only one that will properly integrate with our HVAC system and allow the components to communicate with eachother, but it's really quite a dumb thermostat compared to something like the Nest with all…

me either but yea. I watched blackfish last year and while I was already morally opposed to zoo's that movie pushed my moral outrage over the edge. Now my family thinks I'm a weirdo because I won't go to any place that has captive animals unless they are preserves and allowed to roam free.

Solitary confinement for 34 years for any mammal is inhumane, especially one that is social like orcas. Unbelievable, and I'm not even that much of an animal rights campaigner but that's some serious fucked up shit right there. I don't think you have to even like animal rights activists to agree with them on this…
