I'm not sure if you're talking about the 50gb discs, but I regularly buy even small amounts of 25GB discs for ~$1.25 ea (cheaper in bulk) Haven't had a coaster yet and they've worked just fine for presentations in theaters.

It's the interwebs. You don't need to cite references to incite people to action. (as long as that action is limited to clicking {like})

Time to buy some beachfront property?

Why post a valid (unpopular) opinion as AC? Put your purse down.

It was just Stargate Voyager. Stargate DS9 was fun while it lasted, but neither were as good as the original.

Who says that giant corporations aren't an enemy to the good of the nation? (aside from them)

Hmm. I was really drunk, but I'm still not sure how spell check ended up at that.

I'm really proud of him and I really hope that there is no ensuing lawsuit for violating some sort of propitiatory BS.

They also stopped redirecting from apple.com to apple.co.uk for UK IPs.

While I agree in theory with the findings in theory (though I haven't read TFA due to them putting two of the same obnoxious ad with sound on the same page so it plays with an echo) I think a sample size of two children is a bit small to declare any sort of scientific result.

I live in CA. It will go to Obama. I will once again vote for the leading 3rd party since that is the best way to make my vote count. Sadly, when people call me to ask me who I want to vote for, "neither" or any 3rd party answer is taken as "undecided".

I deleted it when they first gave it to me long ago. It was recently implemented again and set as the default. Now I can only hide it, not delete it (despite the box that pretends that it is an option).

Data caps depend on the carriers. AT&T/VZW have low caps. T-Mobile has 5GB then throttles. Sprint has no cap and roams to VZW for no charge.

With an android phone, you can cache several sections of map in advance and not have to worry about having cell service to get the maps for you. It is 100-150sq miles that you can cache if I recall properly.

Verizon does indeed have good coverage, but very restrictive data usage policies. For 3g (not 4g) I would suggest Sprint. Anyplace they have coverage (which is decent) you have unlimited data and no throttle. If you are in an area without Sprint coverage, you roam to Verizon, but there is an absurd amount of data roaming covered per month so you get the best of both services. If you go over the roaming data, they still won't charge you, just throttle and then stop roaming until the end of the month. I tried that with AT&T once and after 40 MB of allowable roaming data they threatened to cancel my service. Sprint gets a bad rap, but they were my first cell carrier, I have been on all four of the big ones in the US and am back on Sprint again.
