I haven't set foot in a movie theater in 15 years. They want to do it their way, then they obviously don't want my money.

The local theater closed here about a year ago. Guess there wasn't enough folks like you to keep it afloat.

Damn, Lucas is going to see this and rip off the new battlestar galactica series and spin the fighter to the proper angle since it's space combat and they didn't need to actually use gravity.

I for one will not buy the newest episode fixing that - and Han solo shot first.

We keep hearing this is going to be the vehicle that's going to take us to Mars. Excuse me? Exactly how is a vehicle that can only carry 6 people carry supplies for even one person for nearly a year?

Multiple launches to first put supplies for the trip in orbit, with the last launch bringing the crew up on one of these. Assemble the Mars-bound bits in orbit, then send them on their way. I read something about this the other day, but don't remember where.

Actually it'd have to go through the Tropicana, and/or swerve around several blocks because the side of the airport that faces the strip is the runways. Getting the monorail out there would be a clusterfuck to say the least.

The part of Trop that passes north of the airport is mostly empty near the street, with the few businesses in there set well back. They could bring the monorail down to ground level (or even dig a trench for it) to keep from obstructing air traffic. Instead of bringing it down alongside Paradise Road, they could avoid that disruption by turning south sooner and going through the economy-parking lot and by Terminal 2 (which AFAICT is no longer in use) to bring it to Terminal 1. There should already be something in place to move people between Terminals 1 & 3, but if they want to extend the monorail out to Terminal 3 (I've only flown through it once), that'd be a bonus.

ownCloud's worked pretty well for me the past few months, but v7.0.3 caused all sorts of breakage on Android when accessing WebDAV shares. Switching photo uploads from FolderSync to the ownCloud Android client fixed that, but Keepass2Android still won't open my password archive directly. I can get to it over WebDAV with ES File Explorer and open it read-only in Keepass2Android, but that's a kludge I didn't need with the previous version. I'd downgrade, but the previous version is only available as source and the downloaded .deb for the previous version is gone from /var/cache/apt/archives. Hopefully they'll undo this breakage in 7.0.4.

Not to mention it being legal to rip cds you own for your own personal use.

Not to mention that iTunes itself provides this feature. "Rip. Mix. Burn," anyone? This whole story sounds like ambulance-chaser bullshit.

The writers of the constitution had just come out of an oppressive government and won their rights by fighting back against the oppressive government and decided to make sure that if there was a time wen the tree of liberty had to be watered - the citizens would be armed and step up and form militias to fight back.

The whole point of America is and was Freedom. It's a responsibility that all americans must stand up for. Be it an outside force, an oppressive government, or your home being invaded, it's up to you to stand up and fight.

We've collectively been slapped down by many oppressive laws - the right to keep up in technology (I don't mean computers here), the right to be not spied on or searched illegally, and the right to be free.

Here's a basic litmus test. Will you agree to be searched before boarding a flight, or will you tell the person that you're an American, and you refuse to have your basic civil rights violated? It's ok to answer honestly, I just would like to know since I'd like a tax on folks like you, to fund people like me since we need more ammunition since you aren't stepping up to be ready to fight for your freedom.

Think about how much you spend per year. Think about the percent you pay in credit card fees. Take that amount and multiply it over 50 years and just think what you could do with that amount if it had gained interest before you retired.

And all it would take is a bit of time on your part to use cash and monitor your bank account.

I fully agree with you.

Mozilla turf crashed with their idiotic ideas after they decided to go with quick builds and a deaf ear.

I'm still running on 5.0 and wish that I could go back to the days of an easy browser that could block all of the cross connecting crap and ads and just give me a basic browser with one that does not continually run into websites that tells me to upgrade.

I find it surprising that people think credit cards don't hurt you.

I'll dumb it down for everyone.

When you go to the grocery store and shop, and then ring out - the credit card company makes money off of your purchase.

If you use cash, they make you pay the same price since the credit card companies hate the minimum purchase amount signs to use credit cards.

The credit card companies owners are the top 1% - they make craploads of money since most people don't understand that if they used cash instead of credit cards - they could save money since everywhere they shopped wouldn't have to pay for credit card fees.

lastly, that bit they give you for "cash back" is just an incentive to keep paying the higher premiums so the one percenters can keep having fat pay checks.

THEY WANT A CREDIT CARD LIFESTYLE - that will keep prices higher than they should be, and keep using you as the bottom feeder to promote it.

Make threats to intimidate and milk them for money (extortion) and not actually go to court. I know the lawyers have a legal term for this kind of bad faith, but I've no idea what it is right now.

IANAL, but I think the word you're looking for here is "barratry."

The determining factor in drunk driving ,thc, and cell phone use should be impaired driving

Video the vehicle, pull them over, and charge them with stiff fines for impaired driving. I don't understand why we need tests to measure anything about it.

We're in the 21st century and we have extremely cheap vid cams. It's a no brainer that when you show somebody doing something stupid while driving that a jury of their peers would be happy to slap them for it.

Yeah, I've waited for you - so here's the link about dain bramage and alcohol.

http://www.hamsnetwork.org/bra...

There's a reason who pot smokers are generally portrayed as missing a few brain cells.

With that said - I have absolutely no problem with people smoking weed. THC helps people with cancer, pain mediation, and folks with vision.

But they absolutely should be treated the same as drunk drivers if they are impaired and driving.

and the link is......

Bullshit.

Alcohol affects people in different ways, Just like THC does.

After some beers - I drive differently from when I'm sober. When I'm sober, I'm a lead foot tailgating cursing driver that wants to kill the person in the left lane refusing to obey the overtake law. If I've had a few beers, then I make damn sure to be in the right lane- under speed limit, and take back roads to avoid excessive fines in case I lose the drive lottery and get pulled over.

One thing I am happy to avoid? Brain damage from THC

I think that THC use and Texting while driving should have the exact same penalties as someone who has .08 BAC.
