Fantastic article, and much appreciated. I learned a few things here.

I sometimes wonder if the executive team for HTC, like HP, just decided somewhere that there isn’t a viable way for the company to succeed - so they purposefully drop grenades down the hull and loot the ship before it sinks. Cuz’ this here, this is some sad juju.

There are enthusiasts who can afford this camera. It’s a limited market for sure, but that’s who Leica markets to and it works for them. I’m in no position to buy one, but can appreciate that SOMEONE is building a heavy, solid, built-like-a-tank digital camera. Give me a heavily built object any day over plastic. Cell…

True that.

Wasn’t it Sam Kinison who said “You need a license to drive a car, but any butt reaming idiot can have a kid.” I’ve heard many a statistic about population growth, but having traveled to other parts of the world recently am convinced that having a child should no longer be a basic human right.

Time for a really stupid question: An electron can be entangled with another electron. Can one of the electrons in the entangled pair be placed in this weird superposition? If so, what does the paired non-superposition electron do? Would witnessing the non-superposition electron make the superposition electron unable…

That’s blaming the leech for sucking the host dry. Leeches do what leeches do, but the host was dumb enough to walk through the pond.

Let’s change that scenario a little. The same guy is opening fire on you and your family. Duck, because that’s all you can do. That, or just die. There are different scenarios in every situation but the one CCW carriers are trained and carrying for aren’t the one’s you’ve proposed. Your scenario is from Point Break,…

A noble attempt to capitalize on the media and make guns less menacing for a profit in the vein of rubber bullets, wax bullets, bean bags rounds and a myriad other options. However, menacing and death is the whole point of a gun. Trying to sugar coat the purpose of a deadly weapon with a little proto printed ball gag…

Theodore Calvin! The good old days, when a man could jam a 45 down the back of his drawers, sponge off of rich philanthropists and nail women seeking professional Private Investigative services. And name anyone, anything you damned well pleased with little or no gun outrage. Or, even Dweezil.

Can we talk about abortion instead? It was so much less derisive.

Actually asking here: If I do use 7tb of data on my phone (just using my phone) in a month on their unlimited plan, is it ok? I’m not saying I can, just wondering if they really mean this...

This seems badly handled, from a business perspective. If there is some small percentage of users who are taxing the system beyond it’s means, go get them. What benefit is there from publicizing it?

The drinking rule is, as a lot of things California carry related, fuzzy. Licenses in the state literally say “Not valid if under the influence of drugs or alcohol”. The rest is left up to speculation. I stopped speculating and just don’t drink at all anymore if I’m carrying. Not even a drop. Recently we were with a…

I don’t, the state of California does. It isn’t smart, but may laws aren’t. Carry a gun and down a vodka here, you’re license is done.

I should have commented, in California this is often a thing. Want a CCW? You have to register exactly what guns you can carry and there is a limit. Those serial #’s are recorded and if you’re popped with a different gun, look the f’ out. If you’re caught drinking here with a CCW, you’re also f’ed. I don’t LIKE the…

It sounds like you have been properly trained, have the right mindset for carry and ownershp and would be willing to go through a fair and democratic vetting process to obtain a permit. I’m honestly sorry you can’t. It’s also a shame because if you did carry, the government would know exactly who you are, what guns…

Good, it’s a war that isn’t being waged properly. Any US citizen who wishes to be a gun owner should be licensed properly without issue, properly trained, and allowed to carry in the nation. Anyone who is unqualified should not. Criminals should be prosecuted. Banning things doesn’t work - it makes them more…

Oh Adobe... When they switched to the software rental business, we started looking for alternatives. Turns out there are some! I won’t lie, it’s necessary to start up CS6 still... but less and less each week. And now, I suppose I’ll just have to call it “Photo Editing”.

Not the same price range for sure, but If HTC hadn’t screwed the pooch with the M9+ by limiting it’s markets, that’d be my beloved go to. I’ve fondled the S6 and Edge, but it still feels too past Samsung to me. Better by far, but still Samsung. On other fronts, I still can’t press the microphone on my headset cord and…
