Most of the bulbs I've bought have had some sort of "instant on" advertising on them and have worked decently.

The exception is indoor VS outdoor. I tried to use the same bulbs in some exterior lights and when it's cool outside (50 F) these bulbs take close to 10-20 minutes to warm up. I ended up switching back to incandescents for these fixtures.

No, those of us who fly infrequently think the TSA is doing a shitty job, just like those of you who fly regularly.

My wife was in a security line for an hour and a half a couple weeks ago and was only half way through the line when she finally had to go find someone and basically cut in line or she'd have missed her flight.

It should not take 3 hours to get through security at MSP, but apparently 54% of Americans think that is acceptable.

Really? Rich people will be the ones that first buy expensive new cars? How shocking. Next you'll tell me that they were the first to purchase the Tesla S and the Chevy Volt.

Yes.

With more and more companies, municipalities and school districts moving to Google Apps, I'm shocked that the MS board hasn't handed Ballmer his gold watch and sent him packing.

Exactly. There is no such thing as "predictable, low-speed conditions" during rush hour or any other time. They'd have to have 100% of cars use this technology for that.

Plus who cares about low speed? Let me know when this thing can take over for me on my hour long 70 mph highway commute.

That was my first thought too. That's been part of Microsoft's (poor) business plan since Ballmer took over. Every new OS has to come in multiple versions.

I saw "Japanese Android Porn" and just assumed robot. Android the OS didn't even occur to me for a 10-15 seconds.

Why? This doesn't happen now, why would it in the future? Plus there are already laws to prevent people from doing this. Sure you can do it illegally, but I don't see why the number of people doing this would grow just because you move the home release date up a few months.

How about this? If you go to the theater and buy a ticket, you can send another $5-$10 and get a digital copy code that you can redeem when you get home.

So the film industry has realized that no one really wants 3D so they are desperate to try to find something to replace it with that they can use to justify inflated prices.

If you want a gimmick, how about quicker DVD/BluRay/Digital releases after the movie hits theaters. Or better still, how about direct to DVD/BluRay/Digital purchase option day of release. That way those of us who want to see the movie but hate having to see it in a theater filled with assholes can do so. You can still wait months to release it for rental at a cheaper price if you want. But I don't think there is as much overlap in each of those markets as the industry thinks there is.

How about his idea that businesses should be able to discriminate against people based on race?

Screw the flying car. Who really wants this? If it ever did go into mass production, it would be a disaster. How many times have you seen some moron on the side of the road because they've hit another car? Or simply run out of gas?

If you want to make a useful contribution to the auto industry related to making cars fly, then find a way to make then hover. Not 30 feet in the damn ait, just 1 or 2 feet. Enough to make tires, roads and bridges unnecessary.

Yes folks, I want hoverboard technology. Think of the money that could be saved if we didn't have to constantly repave roads or build bridges. All we'd need would be some markers/bouys to keep everyone in "lanes".

At least outside you have a chance of seeing one of these falling out of the sky at you. You really think being indoors will make you any safer?

Are you fucking kidding me?

What the fuck is wrong with this country? Are people this fucking uppity that they see a harmless words like birthday, dinosaur and Halloween and they can't deal with it?

What happens when they get on the internet and they see words like cunt and cocksucker and fucktard?
