Where do you get that he wasn't beat up? EVERYONE is saying he was... Witnesses, the police report, etc. etc.... Basically I haven't heard anyone say that it has been shown Zimmerman was not beaten up. By all accounts Trayvon was straddling his chest and punching and bashing Zimmerman's head into the concrete and…

Just think, back in the day the next issue of popular science would have an article on how to build one yourself.... I miss those days.

Um yeah.... but no... It's bad enough opening a bottle of wine you've driven from your house to a friend's for a get together, but I can't even imagine how crappy it would make the wine taste jostling around under a bike. There is a reason the GOOD wine refrigerators use thermoelectric cooling, it's because…

Eh, he won't get work and it's a tragedy... Mainly because that isn't what people are looking for anymore in radio voices... I know tons of ex-radio jocks and voice-over workers that can't get work to save their life, all because they have this similar voice, or the deep voice from the movie ads where "In a world" is…

@CaseyG: I always had a problem with the story the Night Before Christmas.... Here's a guy with "rosy" cheeks (obviously been drinking), overweight, looks like a bum with soot all over him, and smoking, and the guy lets him in the house because he says he has something special for his kids... Talk about bad parenting.

@Ninety-9: Some cultures don't even believe in pictures... Some cultures believe when you take a picture you take a bit of their soul and refuse to allow anyone to take their pictures. Should an American company disrespect those cultural norms for their own profit? While I agree to American sensibilities it seems…

@tomsomething: Toothpick with superglue fixes that. Coat the toothpick with superglue, slide it in the hole in the wood, then break it off and then let it set up. Carpenters have been using that trick for years.

@Yerzriknot: Actually Hitler had a tremendously good impact. When he was declared man of the year he had turned around a failing country from the brink of bankruptcy into a world superpower with a huge economy. Of course then he got all hooked on drugs, got into some strange religious beliefs, and went a bit…

This is why owning a house is nice. No one can swipe your internet (if you have large enough lots), and with most of the cables buried and rarely screwed with your internet connection stays good. I don't remember the last time I ever lost my internet, well I do but they had it fixed in an hour because it affected…

@Pablo Honey: No Insteon and HAL are budget automation products. Control4 is not. Unless you happen to make a 6 figure salary, then yeah it's budget.

@FriarNurgle: It's not really "slightly pricey" if you can do it yourself. Check out Smarthome.com sometime as they have alot of good DIY kits. Insteon being the best I've seen for the price and it is wireless, and can do everything Jason's does. And if you really want to get into it you can spend ~$300 for the HAL…

@shenanigans: God yes, and the knuckle tattoos.... The only thing I can think of when I see people with knuckle tattoos is Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter.

@lllbarllllcodelll: Get the family plan. WE have 3 360s in our house and a family plan which lets us set up up to four devices. It's only $100/year which is half the price of setting up all 4 devices on gold.

@tomcat1483: I think every so many years mothers around the world would disagree with you.

Yup, deffinatly the most boring day.. Has to be as when you google that date the only thing that comes up (at least for the 17 pages or results I looked through) is "Computer determines April 11,1954 is the most boring day ever"..... Man what a boring day that must have been.

@waclark57: What, and risk getting hit by a huge lawsuit from the teachers' union?

MOst all of the stuff he complains about, other than pay is pretty much identical to anywhere one has to work in corporate america. Work on vacations? Check. Come in on days off? Check. Work long hours? Check. Over exuberant management? Check.

@RainyDayInterns: Nah, you want to save time and keep it juicy fry the turkey. 2 hours from start to finish (including heating the oil) and the bird comes out prefect everytime. For those worried about burning down the house just get an electric turkey fryer. They are only about $100, you can use them indoors, and…

I was really looking forward to this box. Then I read all of the reviews, saw how they gutted the UI (which is fantastic on Windows), and removed support for Hulu and Netflix from it. Think I'll stick to my HTPC running the .9 version of Boxee where I can still use netflix, and hulu and all of my local file are…

@JakeMG: Littering and....littering and...: They have not prevented a single terrorist attack since 9/11. Every attempted terrorist attack:
