Take a look at my middle reference. They seem to be Faraday waves.

I got a paper mail Nielsen thing once. It was a weeklong diary of what things we were watching. Mailed it back and got a couple bucks in the mail for my trouble. Cartoon Network should thank me for that one.

few years back. they paid for our cable bill. it’s just a little box. there’s not much to it. Just watch tv like you usually would.

A friend of mine had a friend who lived in a Nielsen family. They had these creepy little boxes attached to all their (bigass glass tube) TVs. It was weird.

I got five bucks in the mail for getting one. Filled out a small survey thing, it wasn’t the same as having a Nielsen box in my house as they were just collecting demographic information. Seeing as I’m a college student changing residences every 9-12 months, I had no qualms about that and received another $5 after…

You can do this now with Windows 8, and I'd assume it will be even easier with Windows 10.

I actually kinda like it. I hate bright background images like the default blue ones that have been plaguing us for years. The first thing I do is switch to a solid black background. This one I might let sit for a while.

That is an awfully strong reaction to what is essentially the removable packaging of a popular product. I think it’s safe to say that if they did anything other than a solid black background SOMEONE would needlessly gripe about it. Then again, if they didn’t do anything they’d be criticized for not caring.

no animation - would have been great to actually mention that in the post instead of making sure he fit every little jab he could think of into the write-up

I remember when apps were called programs.

That sounds like a whole lot of effort for an image that everyone is going to look and once, and then change immediately.

CoD also has the swastika in it. So yeah, maybe the two largest WW2 shooters both have it.

Speaking as a (big) Jew, I’m more offended by people trying to rewrite history than I am by swastikas. In fact, games like Wolfenstein: The New Order are way more resonant for me because they use actual Nazi imagery.

I don’t know if that’s really true. It’s plastered through Wolfenstein. It may also differ by region. The Nazi flag isn’t just an offensive symbol of hatred in Germany, the way the Confederate flag is here — it’s actually banned by the government. So you can’t sell a game there if it has a Nazi flag in it. Hell, you…

I don’t know what games you’re playing but most WW2 games I’ve played in the past 15 or so years have most certainly featured swastikas.

Yeah but everyone and their mother will see an ICBM soar into the atmosphere on radar, and the potential for mistaken intentions would be rather high. With a nuke on a stealth-ish aircraft, no one would be the wiser, and perhaps no one would even know a low yield detonation occurred unless we say it did (only under…

To put that capability in theater. Near-immediate, pinpoint strike capability to strike at specific hardened targets, or to reach nuclear aggressors in, say, the volatile Middle East or southwestern Asia theater.

you mean we DON’t have this capability now to use the f35 with nukes ?

If you upgrade during the free year, you get it permanently for free. If you don’t get it during the free year, you’ll have to pay for it.

You hear about the bias because it's real. Gawker Media is an instrument of far-left ideology, and is unapologetic for it.
