@Carrick1973: Everything Jibbly said is true but there are other ways in. A long track record with a respected competitor looks good to them. Or you could go to work for someone that Google will eventually buy. (if you figure out who that is, let me know) But the reality is that they contract out most their jobs at…

Doesn't this only prove that more women use Foursquare than guys? I mean, hell, the gay bar by my office has 67% more girls and I don't think that's accurate. Or possible.

@Cow: Oh snap! That's triple hilarious now. Fuckin' Winona Ryders, how do they work?

@Cow: See. This is what she's missing out on with no internets.

I used to crush on her but now I'll forever think she's just another version of my step-mother.

@HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: Those are actual facts. I've had a five minute call drop four times while I traveled half a mile in SF. The person on the other end had to stand in the one room of his house that gets coverage at all the whole time. It's not completely AT&T's fault. It's more the fault of people…

I've got one of those. Interesting to know that it is possible to kill one. I've been trying my damnedest for 130,000 miles.

@chetstovepiper: Actually incorporating crime statistics could be useful in many ways. Alerting the driver to or avoiding areas where a lot of tickets are written. Finding hookers in a new town. Lots of stuff.

It's a though one for me. I pride myself on giving people meaningful gifts that shows that I have thoughtfully found something that they really like but either wouldn't buy for themselves or didn't know they wanted.

I used to do this every six months or so with Comcast. Then they clued in that there was no competition in my neighborhood. Now they flat out tell me "No".

There is no such thing as an undefeatable security measure. There are security measures that make beating them unprofitable. In a long term sense, I doubt that one of those will be found for money.

I hope that family had a jug band and it was called The Unruly Haircut Kids.

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down.

But will it fast forward and rewind video with out a three second lag between you pushing a button and it actually doing something? Cause that would be super.

George Foreman grill makes the best bacon. It is the only reason I have one at all.

In reference to that picture, I'm going to say the same thing that I say to every single person who borrows our office DSLR: Oh, my fucking god put on the lens cap!

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.4: Actually I didn't catch that but I did think that there should be a pedobear on that computer instead of jaguar.

@phlavor: I think it's worth adding that in lieu of seeing the TV myself before buying it, I did a LOT of research. First I went to Pricegrabber and did a search of the most popular sets in my price range with the specs I wanted (screen size, brightness, contrast) and then I went to AV forums and started reading…

I was pretty apprehensive about buying something I'm going to spend so much time looking at online but I had a set budget and knew what I wanted would occasionally dip down into it's range online. Another important consideration is the local 9.5% sales tax.

Random as hell, but all the numbers line up to that CarFax report being my sister in law's old Honda. Weird.
