This was actually an episode of Next Iron Chef several years back. The contestants had to make a first-class airline meal with the catch being that they had to over-flavor everything to make sure that it actually tasted good once they were up in the air. Very cool stuff.

MSRP on high-end non-smartphones was $350. Providers would give you a $150 subsidy, bringing the cost down to $200 on contract. New, high-end smartphones are still $200 on contract, but the MSRP is now $500+, $650 in the case of the iPhone, meaning that the providers are eating a $300-500 subsidy.

1: Pay off whatever balance is left on the phone and its yours

This was unfortunately inevitable once smartphones became the standard. They’re just way too expensive to subsidize. That said, this plan SUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKS. Even worse than the Verizon plan, which I complained about when announced a few weeks ago (and is actually not looking too bad now). At least with the Verizon…

Let’s look at this for what it is, somebody to pass the buck to. The reason coaches coach the way they do is because, if it fails, they can always fall back on, “Well, I was following the conventional wisdom and the players just didn’t execute.”

Voice and Text has never been included in the access fee before, I don’t see why it would be now. Voice and Text packages are typically $20-30 more than data only packages right now.

Look’s like we’ll be looking for a different provider when our contracts are up in a couple of years.

I kept the South Dakota plates on my car for eight years after getting it (despite never living in South Dakota while I had it) because my parents were technically the owners and we never bothered to transfer the title. I got pulled over maybe three or four times (never for more than 10 miles over) in those eight…

It would never work in the NFL because of the fair catch. Canadian football doesn’t have it.

I can’t do that either. I just sit cross-legged for those parts and then get back on my knees when we move on.

I’m about 5’10” and 240 and have been doing yoga for the last couple of months. It’s really not that crazy. Obviously, I can’t do headstands or handstands like some (though most beginners can’t anyways) but I can do every single pose to at least 90%.

I would say there’s two aspects of this. Contacting me (as the person in charge of the search committee) and asking questions about the position or getting a feel for the job is a good thing. Using that information to inform your cover letter and resume is a better thing. It shows me you’re motivated and gets your…

It does. We just watched in in our browser and ran an HDMI cable to the TV.

With these two in place, Fox has everything it needs to form a sort of Suicide Squad of race-baiting hot-takers.

I agree. I’m already paying $23/mo for HBO Now and Hulu (no cable). If this would let me cut out the latter bill, while also providing a cloud DVR service (especially helpful for those days when I still want to watch a show but don’t get home in time or when I inevitably fall more than five episodes behind on…

My high school Spanish is very rusty, but even I can recognize “esta es el blooper.”

I remember seeing a copy of Duke Nukem 64 for $69.99 in the case at a local department store for like three years, well into the Gamecube era. And that was in 2002 or 2003, so it’d be more like $90 in today’s dollars.

I wonder if that would be his response to an employer asking him to work for free.

Let me start by saying that I don’t think FIFA should be seeding the top-seeded teams. There are far better ways to get teams into certain sites without putting them into a specific bracket. I also think there’s a very good chance that FIFA did set this tournament up so that the US and Canada would stay in longer (you…

Well, the quarterfinals are when the group winners will first be able to face each other. I mean, just last year #3 Argentina and #5 Belgium both won their groups and played in the quarterfinals. And #4 Colombia drew Brazil, who pretty much everybody agrees was not the #11 team in the world.
