WTF theater do you go to? I buy my ticket on Fandango, no waiting. I don't even know what to say about the "3 hours in 100+ degrees heat", I've never experienced anything remotely close to that. The theaters which I frequent have staff that clear the theater of debris and spills in between shows. And the sound in the theater is probably the best sound that I hear anywhere.

Seriously, you need to find a better theater. Or open one yourself, it sounds like you've found a market for a decent theater.

Therein lies the problem. I don't want to watch a fucking lecture. I don't want to slow down to the speed at which someone speaks. I can read much faster then someone can speak. I would greatly prefer to just read the material instead of watching a video. My mind will wander if I have to watch a lecture, since it is not being supplied information quickly enough. An occasional video that demonstrates something specific is fine, but not a lecture.

I can swim with my phone, but you have a point about battery life. My phone battery only lasts a few days.

Sounds like Blizzard is taking over golf.

You can really see that "joyous upturn of hope" at the end of the Lord of the Rings; After Frodo destroys the One Ring, he returns to the Shire and everything is just peachy-keen and happy! Classic Tolkien!

Well, that bricklayer might also be a member of the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers. Perhaps you should ask your boss what he would think about you organizing the developers.

Interesting idea. Instead of paying "market price" for what you want, you could pay the "iron price" instead.

My Galaxy SIII is sitting on my desk at the office right now. I forgot it when I left early for the Elder Scrolls Online beta stress test that started at 3pm my local time. I cincerely hope that the alarm clock does not go off before I get in tomorrow.
