Having done some Salmon fishing in Michigan, I have no clue what you're talking about. Lake Michigan Salmon is good stuff. The only nasty stuff I've seen is when you go river fishing trying to catch Spawning Salmon. The fish are going to die, and are certainly not very good tasting. Most people don't keep the ones they catch, and the ones that are "nice" are typically smoked to improve the flavor.

I think he's refering to the emergency city manager that Snyder put in to work out the financial crisis. Basically, the people in Detroit are pissed that after 5 decades of voting for democrats who ran their budget into the ground, the Governor decided that putting in a Democrat emergency manager wasn't the best idea. While I don't necessarily agree with everything Snyder has done, this certainly was not a bad thing. Change was necessary, and I don't think it would have happened any other way.

I don't have a problem with DRM, as long as I can use the content when I want, how I want, were I want, and with whom I want. I don't mind that the content is locked to me. It just needs to be treated like an asset, not a license. If I buy 1000 ultraviolet/Vudu/Flixter movies, and then I die, I want my wife or children to inherit my content. If I want to give a movie to my friend, I should be able to do that. I'd be willing to pay MORE for my content, if I had assurances that I could do more. For instance, I recently converted ~100 movies from disc to digitial using Vudu's service. They had a 50% off promotion, and I thought it was worth $1-$2.50 a disc to concert stuff. I get to keep my discs, and now I don't have to backup my data to hard disk like I had been doing. A single Bluray converted and compressed is typically still 10-15GB in size. To me, it's worth paying $1 to not have a 10-15GB file sitting on my servers hard disks. Sure, I have 4x2TB drives (6TB accessible) and can store a ton, but that storage is not free. Now I can access my movies on my phone, tablet, computer, HTPC, PS3, etc. I can also log in to my Vudu account at a friends house, and we can watch a movie in better than DVD quality. To me, that's worth paying a small fee. Having said that, I wouldn't buy a movie from Vudu. I want the physical disk. I want the backup in case Vudu (or UV) goes belly up. I don't want to be at the mercy of some company, with $1000's invested in content. There has to be ownership. There has to be an exit plan for the service provider. To me, UV solves some of those problems, but not all of the,.

So your argument is that you aren't going to buy a device to stream content to your TV because you don't want to jump through "hoops" to be a customer. So, which DVD did you buy that came with a free DVD player? How is buying a Roku different than buying a DVD player? If you'd rather that Netflix charged you an extra $5 a month and provided a player, than maybe you'll get somewhere. No place truly offers things for free.

Couldn't the same be said about you?

Nurese Who? I see another spin-off series in the making! Genius!

They don't do this with toll booths, I can't imagine they would do it with license plate recognition. If they want to grab you for speeding, they have a bagillion tools already at their disposal that they aren't using.

digital billboards that use prisms to target personal adds to each car. You were web searching for a new pair of shoes last night, so on your commute to work, you keep seeing Nike, Zappos, and ADIDAS everywhere. It'll happen. Just give it time.

This just in! California is requiring mandatory "Safety" locator for all bicycles used in the state. The locator will only be used for safety related tasks.

I know why they don't, but I wish they would auto update everyone on 6 to 7. Bugger.

I saw a Schwinn and a Ford Lobbyist kicking the crap out of each other. It was awesome!

For me, it's kind of the convenience factor. Maybe I want to ride a bike to work but take the subway home. Maybe I'm at work and a coworker wants to grab a taxi and go out to dinner/drinking later. Being able to just rent and drop off a bike has some serious appeal to me. If I lived in NYC, I would be all over that. It beats the hell out of the mass transit system, and has some real potential.

After hearing news stories about DNF for years and years, thinking it was dead, having it revitalized and release, and then seeing how much crap it actually was...I for one don't want to read another story about it. Seriously, get over it.

Accidental airplane? What happened? Airbus couldn't find a plane sized condom?

If we only had Jetpacks, than we could stop 9/11 attacks by sending rocket soldiers to intercept the planes! Also, if we gave the Jetpacks to everyone, if there was ever a school shooting in process, all of the kids could run outside and fly away.

In other words, I want a damn jetpack now!
