I'm familiar with those services. Are you familiar with Dish's SlingTV which I referenced? It is a streaming service that does limit time shifting and is probably the closest equivalent to what DirecTV is trying here.

I'd presume he is asking if he can time shift it like some of the content from SlingTV.

I had this discussion with a friend who works with NASA. Space is a presidential legacy issue. When you get into your last couple of years of your second term as president then you can stop campaigning and think about how you will be remembered by history.

We've lately had problems with our USPS delivery person not vistiing our neighborhood if he is running behind. Things get marked as delivered on tracking software and then don't show up until the next day's run.

I had my first kidney stone after doing a regularly biweekly several hours Judo session in college. It certainly worked to knock one of them loose, but I'm not sold on exercise as a preventative measure.

Having worked in a lab with some light sensitivity requirements, this is the easiest solution. Occasionally you will run into a stubborn LED that needs two strips of electrical tape to go dark.

Fall is coming up, you can hide your charging cables in your new iJacket for the low, low price of $999. Also, nothing will keep your iJacket that trademark Apple white like iBleach. Pickup a bottle or two with your purchase only $30 a quart.

Most people have their phone within GPS resolution 24/7 anyways.

It seems pretty unlikely that worldwide this year has been significantly more dangerous than the previous two years combined. Sounds like marketing fluff to me.

It makes the other drivers nervous when I do that on my commute, especially if it is a hardback.

Odds are you will hand your child at 16 a item that they are 4 times as likely to kill someone else with than a firearm. You'll pretend it is fine because it is a necessity of our society, but really it is a social status, convenience, and pleasure thing. Really, it would really be far safer to delay until they were more mature and weren't dealing with the early adulthood hormonal changes, further if we could find a better way it would be even better if we kept everyone from doing it period. You'll also pretend it is fine because you've trained your kid, you've had professionals train your kid, and frankly your kid is just a little better than everyone else. You'll be a little apprehensive of the danger and for a while you will worry every time they are out with it. You're nerves will calm some as they get experience, but you will still warn them until you die to be safe when using it. Don't worry though, we don't have to call it a weapon despite how very likely it is to kill someone, we can call it a vehicle. Also don't worry about your convictions on lethal weapons because it is inconceivable that anyone who would hand their children any other potentially dangerous thing would go through any sort of similar process: tablesaws, lawnmowers, firearms, clorox, etc.

I'd agree, being a grammar-nazi about clip is pretty useless, but being precise with automatic versus semi-automatic is important. Semi-automatic includes a huge swath of hunting rifles and shotguns that look like hunting rifles that a whole lot of gun-control voters aren't really that enthusiastic about controlling.

All respect to Alton Brown, but my BBQ claws for shredding pulled pork are 10 times more efficient than either eating or serving forks. Although I will not deny pretending to be Wolverine for my children.

There are two conflicting use cases for addresses given a physically large urban location: consumer and delivery. I've found several cases where I've been dumped at an inaccessible delivery address by GPS while looking for the public entrance of something.

Live training is (theoretically) more expensive than sim training. Just saying dump simulators because they aren't true to life means you will probably have more realistic training time but a whole lot less training overall. The people in charge of training should be trained to understand the limitations of all the training measures available and plan training accordingly to provide the largest benefit possible...again theoretically.
