I can use some peace and quiet. Get away from the phones ringing, users nagging, and CAR DEALERS TALKING IN MY FACE ABOUT $399 A MONTH on the radio.

You'd be surprised how desperate drug users can be when they need a fix.

>>Why would people intentionally let their dog piss on your grass?

Because some people are selfish, just want to get their dog walk over with, and frankly don't give a shit.

Flies man, flies. And it smells like shit.

I keep the dogs of my lawn with a few liberally spread mothballs. Works like a charm, and they are dirt cheap.

And when I feel like being a prick about it, I'll put down chili powder just before dog walking time.

It's amazing what marinading for 24 hours will do to a meat.

Oh yeah.... I really love it when I go to a site and try to create a password with punctuation, and it gets kicked because the site doesn't support it.

Really????

I'm talking about some major sites... financial institutions too. Scary and unacceptable.

Reason # 1 to not use stock apple earbuds : They make it look like you have an Ipod in your pocket.
Reason # 2 to not use stock apple earbuds : They sound like complete crap.

Yeah yeah I know we're talking about mp3's and that the iPod audio out isn't the highest quality sound wise. But I swear by old school, black, Walkman style headphones, they look non iPod like, and sound great. A decent pair of Sony's set you back $45, and last forever.

(FWIW, the headphones that came with the first couple of original Walkmans sounded like crap too..... )

>>Darth Vader played by Danny de Vito

Which is one reason why Spaceballs was so darned funny. Rik Moranis as Darth Helmet... almost the exact opposite of a James Earl Jones voice and style wise.

I for one would like to know when i can 3d print a buggy whip.

I really would. Last night's episode. I just checked iTunes. It's not there.

Hello!!!! ?? HBO???? I'm willing to give you a couple of bucks... even to 'rent' a stream for a day. I'd very much like to watch your show, without subscribing to your channel.

Get it? I have money. I want to spend it, by giving it to you to watch your show. But you don't give me the option to do so. You lose. And because I can't do it now, and be able to talk to other viewers about the premere this week, I'm resentful and will be less likely to buy your DVD when it does come out next year. Why should i buy it then? Season 3 will be old news at that time....

I've observed that my Garmin GPS is never more than 2 or 3 MPH different than what my cars speedometer is measuring. Even when I'm jamming it at 85MPH.

Perfectly acceptable difference IMHO, given that the GPS is coallating the satelite signals on the fly.

Guy from the NYC area here.

There is no such hill on the NJ turnpike. You'd need something of a small mountain road/steep hill to accelerate a car an extra 30MPH.

The NJ turnpike is well designed with gradual inclines. No steep downhills. FWIW.

/. - everything has changed here. Even the MS bashers have no teeth any more.

I was hoping that someone would have hit my meatball out of the park, when I asked what was lacking in VB.

Sigh. Remember when you used to be able to have a good tech talk here?

Perl uses sub .

Using their new GUI of course.
