"I'm turning a blind eye to how things are looking based on what I've seen of Bane and Catwoman" - READ:I saw Anne Hathaway in a leather suit and I approve.

The batmobile - no concern to you. Swinging through the city - no concern to you. Blowing stuff up - no concern to you. Batwing - OMG how is Gotham going to handle this?

"although not backwards" - doesn't that just kind of negate your whole comment?

That's what I thought too. How is Sam doing it without Stark's PIN?

Sam = asshole.

The NeoAir is on top of every guide/list and it's hard to ignore. I am curious about the Pacific Outdoors Peak Elite AC though. Same weight, $80. I don't know why the NeoAir is $60 more. Different R value perhaps?

What a punk. The kid that is.

While I am sure plenty of people cut cable because they really are fed up with all the fees or lack of quality programming (in their opinions), I laugh at how many falsely cite those reasons when, in reality, they are too poor or cheap to pay for it. Just think about the hippies you come across that proudly proclaim…

I don't understand your rant. The subject of the Slate article is about restaurant website design. Are you seriously upset that the poolside menu offers (expensive) wine and bar food? I seriously am confused here. Do you have a rant about Prius drivers, Obama, and I don't know, the New York Times paywall as well? How…

I can't imagine how much business is lost from restaurants because of bad websites, particularly mobile ones. If I am in the car (as a passenger) and am trying to look up the hours, menu, or dress code for a restaurant because we are about to pass through the town it's in, it shouldn't be that difficult. I shouldn't…

The days where unions were needed to protect against dangerous working conditions (ie steel mills, mines, etc) are over. I am sure in some cases, yes, greedy mine owners are forcing long hours with inadequate ventilation or safety. I am guessing that's a possibility. But I really don't believe that the average worker…

To be fair anyone could have done this? WTF? Do you think random neighborhood hoodlums even know what a fiber optic line is or where to find one? You think some random kid ripped out his cable then a few hours later, Verizon strikers happened to be standing at that exact spot?

That's cute when companies are taking advantage of their employees or abusing them but how are you defending vandalism and theft by making such blanket statements?

If that's your understand then sorry, you were mistaken. Pay it forward can mean anything like buying someone a cup of coffee or donating a used suit to the community center so someone less fortunate can have a better chance at an interview.

So in the meantime, we should let them riot while we have a round-table discussion about what's troubling them?

What exactly did government do to these rioters? Do you mean when they shot the POS drug dealer who shot a cop?

nomskull - There are differences between this proposed free tablet and mobile phones. First, there are not many free phones worth using/obtaining. Only grandmas and people afraid of technology are using the free flip phones. Let's take a modern Android. Retail is $400-600. The price you pay at the signing of the…

Great idea. Let's help the scum. I thought this might come from Kat Hannaford but not you Chan.

Or smart enough.

Just curious how they measure distance for shots in the field like this. Is there some sort of laser targeter device that can shoot an invisible laser that far? I know they sell laser measures at Home Depot but that's to measure 10 foot wide rooms, not over a mile away.
