Look. We all have flat panel televisions now. Exactly how are we supposed to put these boxes on top of them?

You need to call these something else.

Under set box?
Accessory box?
Smart TV box?

Or start building a shelf on top of the TV.

If your phone is so big and cumbersome that you need a second phone that is easier to hold and easier to handle, then why wouldn't you just get a primary phone that fits those requirements in the first place?

I see these people with their ridiculous 5 inch Android phones. They have them set to dim and turn off the screen almost immediately, because the battery life is so shitty. When they aren't swiping around on them like a crazy person, they are looking for power outlets to keep the stupidly big things charged up.

Screw that. Get a phone with a normal size screen, a phone that fits in your pocket, a phone that has a battery that lasts for a whole day, a phone that doesn't need another phone as an accessory.

Some people were using them before they were released...

I was doing this on a Mac II in 1986.

A GED is legally equivalent to a high school diploma. He should sue for wrongful termination. Or just get a new job someplace that isn't run by dicks.

Did you get a refund from your English teacher? Because you really should.

Okay. In the stem or in the bite hole?

Since it is a church, I assume all of the books will be placed in the fiction section, right? If not, you're doing it wrong.

Where did you rent a Kia that it was snowing several months ago? Alaska?

Does the third party supplier add the extra L to Motorola? I would be suspicious... :-P

You only use two spaces if you're using a typewriter. On a computer, you should never put two spaces between sentences, unless you are using a mono-spaced font.

Newer models of the Apple AirPort Extreme have an option for a guest login, with reduced access, etc.

How many of those 25k affiliates "forgot" to include their affiliate income?

When you make over a certain amount from Amazon sales, they file a 1099 form with the IRS. It is not easy to get around paying the taxes on that income. If you are making a small enough amount to avoid the 1099 form, then you're likely not a threat anyway.

The average savings account is $20,000? I don't know anyone with more than $5000 in savings, and the average people in the US save per year is less than $500.

That said, these rental places should be avoided like the plague. At least use a low-interest credit card if you must buy on credit.

You're listing the specs for LaserDisc as if they were always the same. The 70's discs all had analog stereo audio (although many movies of the time were mono.) In the early 80's they added the digital audio tracks, but the analog FM tracks were also still present for backwards compatibility with older players that couldn't decode the digital PCM tracks. Most players capable of decoding the digital audio could output Dolby 2.0 Stereo and also had CD playback. In the 90's they added a 5.1 AC-3 track using one of the analog tracks, leaving a mono analog track for backwards compatibility. (By that point very few original analog players were still around.) You needed a player with the AC-3 RF output and a compatible receiver or decoder box to actually make use of the AC-3 track.

All LaserDiscs have a composite analog video signal encoded on them, however some were recorded frame by frame (CAV) and others in a stream (CLV). You could fit more content on the CLV discs, so it was more common, but it could not do trick-play like freeze and slo-mo, at least in the early players.

I still own all of my original LaserDisc equipment, covering all of these advances. Of course, the only thing I use it for is to watch old copies of un-ruined Star Wars movies and a couple of other titles that have never made it to DVD.
