You can customize almost everything, so if you find something that annoying just change it. Use the Harmony app for PC. It takes a minute to get the hang of, but it’s well worth the effort. I have the Elite and it is easily the best remote I have ever used. As for the screen, I haven’t had a single problem with…

Stop watching, start reading. The movies are excellent, especially considering the accomplishments of having a set of actors growing up through the years.

The only reason I mentioned Bloomberg is that he has the money and organization to (possibly) pull off a 3rd party bid. I don’t agree with him most of the time, but I don’t think he’s quite as corrupt as Clinton or as egotistical as Trump, and there is chance that people are so disaffected with both to vote for him.

It's not a question of who you like right now. It's who you dislike the least

While I am not normally one to wish to “break” the 2 party system, the fact is that this may have been the best chance for an independent candidate to win. Had Bloomberg, for example, run, he would have had an excellent chance against what most consider to be 2 horrible candidates.

Why does the spinoff need to be low expenditure? It's not like it's a particularly risky bet, given the success of Game of Thrones.

Agreed. Dunk & Egg is entertaining, but I think most fans of the show will be very disappointed, as it has a very different atmosphere. I think if they go with this first it might kill chances for other spin-offs.

I’ll just donate one to the local library

I don’t understand why people would do this. If they were actually interested in the engineering they would dismantle it. Then, when complete, it could be (gasp) reassembled. If they don’t want it, they auction it off for a charity or organization. For instance, they could help fund an athlete trying to compete in the…

I’m kinda pissed. I preordered on Amazon February 10th, but I’m not getting delivery until the 1st. I get Sunday deliveries all the time.

It goes to state of mind. Also, that was only one line that you quoted, do you realize that this was a major leak?

“Didn’t they end up just discussing something that they decided not to do?”

It’s only reached a dead end if you think pure-breeding is an end in itself. My dog is 1/8 English bulldog, and I can tell you her genes are very diverse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It would seem to make a lot of sense to use timing lines like what you describe for a lot of reasons, but especially to reduce battery drain and data usage. Rather than have it being monitored in real-time, periodically checking might actually make it more accurate in a lot of situations, as every jig in data points…

Might not be a bad idea as a replacement for the volume buttons. Will add functionality for other things as well, as well as more fine adjustments. For example, in certain contexts it can be used to scrub video, or adjustments to photo effects. My question would be reliability, but Apple tends to be good on that front…

Uh, cash is backed by something. The US Dollar, in particular, is backed by a very big something: the United States Government.

Aside from all of the other nonsense here:

I have little doubt that the contract gave the right for Verizon to cancel the agreement, so I’m not sure what you’re getting at.

This is not really unreasonable. 100GB is not what people reasonably expected when they signed up for these plans, as the data speeds did not allow for this. These are obviously people who are using their wireless plans as a modem to connect other devices.

I have to quibble with your premise. The problem is that, for the most part, we have only seen the best of the best of the dark side. This is not a coincidence, as before now we have primarily focused on the Sith, which has the rule of two (however strectched it may be). That limits our experience as far as dark side…
