Actually, they are a law firm that purchased the rights to the films from a porn company, and then "gifted" the copyright to a random guy that the owner of the law firm knew; their business model was to sue those who were sharing the film illegally. But giving the film away for free get the downloaders off the hook, IANAL.

I had a lot of fun going to the drive-in theater (2 screens, double headers on both) in Abilene, Texas, when I went to college there. That was in the 2002-2006 year range, I'm 29 now; hardly close to pushing up daisies. There's also a multi-screen complex about 30 minutes south of Dallas that I went to some years ago; I want to take my kids, maybe make it a group thing, when the kids get a little older.

Drive-ins are fun experiences, and I think some places let you pay "per car", it can be cheaper for larger groups. You can bring a pick-nick basket of food and save a ton of money.

Yep, I saw that after I posted.

Very informative, nice post. A couple of comments.

First, there are three nonoverlapping channels for 802.11b/g. So there's 11 channels, but transmitting on channel 1 means that you are putting noise on channels 1-5; transmitting on channel 6 means that you are putting noise on 1-10; and transmitting on channel 11 puts noise on 7-11. If you transmit on channel 3, that means you are disrupting 1-8, so it's best to simply use 1, 6, and 11.

5Ghz doesn't have as much of a saturation problem because of the smaller distance that a usable signal travels. Sure, 24Ghz would be even better, but then I wouldn't be able to use the signal on my driveway or probably even my bedroom. I can see 24Ghz being good for apartment use, or college dorms, although dorms should have their own wifi.

10 PRINT Does that MAN have ANY IDEA how many batteries I will have to TURN AROUND?? That will take HOURS!

I'd say he's perfect for the role of the 13th Doctor...the final Doctor.

This is great advice. A two-week after-hours contract with the admin for after he leaves is a great investment.

Committee name includes family, women, and children. Perhaps if their families included men the children wouldn't need the government to protect them.

Shouldn't that say:

10 GOTO 10

Without the semicolon?

Bull. It's no different than the government forging your signature. They aren't compelling speech, they are forging a document.

Wikipedia states that in 2011 we spent $49.5 billion on foreign aid, out of a budget of 3540 billion (3.54 trillion). That means that foreign aid is ~1.4% of the budget. But that aid makes us look a lot better on the international stage, at least to those who pay attention. 134 million for child survival, 1.89 billion for food, 29 million to fight AIDS. Are you saying that the post office delivering mail to your doro is more important to you than feeding children who would otherwise starve?

Perhaps you could try writing a letter to someone, and maybe get one in return? People love physical mail, and have for a thousand years; that's why the postal service is basically the only government service in the Constitution.

Because the money we give Egypt isn't enough to save the postal service.

Because we are essentially leasing desert training grounds from Egypt--training grounds that saved American lives in both Iraq wars, and probably in 'actions' that we've never heard of. And having those unexploded munitions lying in their desert, instead of ours, means that it's not our children (or other citizens) who get blown up by them.

And besides, 30 million Americans is less than 10% of the population. The price difference means that it costs the same to deliver to those 30 million Americans with door service, as it does 47 million Americans with curbside service. Why should my tax dollars support special treatment for 10% of Americans?

Apparently, trusting your money to someone whose username begins with "pirate" is a good way to get your savings keelhauled.

Yarr!

I'm sure that the designer of the Hindenberg said the same thing!
