"The Texas legislature adjourned in June, and it will not reconvene until 2015." Buwah?!

Caterpillar has one too. http://www.caterpillar.com/cda/layout?m=389975&x=7&ids=3367101

How does one go about convincing a municipality to do this though? We've seen stories here about some high speed networks being built, but what is that first step that convinces a city council to say "Yup, we need that"?

I'm not an engineer, nor do I play one on TV, so I'm curious - how does an ultra sonic senor have a blind spot?

That's a good question. I upgraded by Galaxy Nexus to one of the CM9 nightlies. The video recorder uses a different codec than what it had used. Of course, you don't realize this until you send your mother a video of the baby doing something cute and she suddenly can't play it in Windows Media Player.

This isn't always an option. For example, this school in Chicago bans packed lunches because kids could bring something healthy. Who's to say more principals won't latch on to this line of thinking? http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/education/ct-met-school-lunch-restrictions-041120110410,0,4567867.story

Maybe it was unintentional? Stuxnet wasn't supposed to be released, maybe a code change was made and deployed in Israel and it escaped at that point.

I disagree. Snapfish has a horrible track record for me. Most recently, my wife recently had 150 pictures printed via Snapfish. When we received them, 47 of the pictures had visible blockiness and pixelization that are not present in the digital files. Sending the same pictures to WalMart for printing got us nice crisp images.

Really? What if my representatives are behaving exactly like I want them to behave? That gets me 3 out of 535 votes in the House and Senate. Why am I responsible for the other 532 representatives that I can't influence one way or the other with my single vote?

What happens when you aren't under a service contract any more? I never turn my old phone over to the carrier when I upgrade. The previous one makes a good toy for the little kids in the family. It has no cell service. I do still connect it to the family wireless.

Perhaps you should move from the 'early years' of Steam and actually try it again then. Hmm?

Using this logic, Google should be given an account to every forum, every blog, every tube site, every system with a login so that users can see if they are talked about some where on the internet. Sounds like a stupid idea. Why should they be able to log into Facebook when they can't log into that small little web forum?

Search warrants aren't required any more. All the cops have to do is claim you were destroying evidence: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/05/16/supreme-court-upholds-warrantless-search-of-apartment-based-on-marijuana-smell/ 8-1 Supreme Court ruling. That should take 50-75 years to overturn, if we are lucky.

I feel even more vindicated. Every time I forget my card, they ask for the phone number I used to get it. After trying the two numbers I've had for years and neither works the cashier gets frustrated and asks the next customer in line if I can borrow their card.

It had been 24 hours. They dropped it to 15 minutes.
