If you read the grandparent post, he said "THIS gun," implying it's on the gun itself. The other two warnings appear on the product themselves, too. My brand new gun came with a safety manual, and I'm sure it has that warning.

Funny, none of my firearms actually say don't point at face. In fact, the most I can think of in the way of instructions is rifles with a safety that switches to FIRE. Doesn't make the gun fire, though.

As a Pennsylvania native, I can assure you that beans are not optional. Somebody fed you sloppy joes without a bun.

Your citation's case name is not underlined or in italics, sir. -1 point.

GTFO link now! really? When I was a kid, you knew you shouldn't fuck around with the BB gun, but you REALLY didn't fuck around with the .22LR. The BB blinds you at maybe 50 yards, the 22 kills you at a mile.

He means Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works.

Well, being a cat, he never does it when I want him to. However, not wanting to disappoint, here's a video of him feeding himself.

You certainly made the "short list" of features that led to me giving up my Linux install and my wonderfully uber-compatible XBMC installation. In fact, you were the most important factor leading to the change. The fact that XBMC and MythTV work together as well as the Bundys when it comes to broadcast televison, well, now that I think of it, that's the only other reason. Rest assured, you were the reason for the switch.

Now, Microsoft made $50 on the transition; I'm a student. And Windows Media Center is pretty damn good, once sufficiently beaten into submission. I have it now as compatible with videos as XBMC, with metadata collection and display almost as good. However, you guys were nice enough to build an add-in to WMC, cool. $8 a month is pretty awesome for HD movies to just be THERE. Schweet.

However, that just ain't the case. Even though I'm a lucky bastard and can pull down about 3MB/s (and yes, I mean a little over two 1.44MB floppy disks, or maybe 0.0001 Libraries of Congress), "HD Video" just won't play. I don't use quotes for effect, I use them because that's what you call it, I can't get your player to cough up any information about what the hell resolution, frame rate, color profile, or codec. It skips and sputters, surely because Silverlight 4 isn't hardware-accelerated - but Silverlight 5 just isn't there either.

Now, I can: 1. Minimize WMC. 2. Start Firefox. 3. Go to your website. 4. Log in (WMC is logged in separately). 5. Go to My Account. 6. Click Video Steaming Settings (or whatever the hell it is) 7. Change the rate to 1GB/hr. and 8. Click Next. This gives me a 404 error, but it's been changed. 9. Return to WMC, completely stop the movie, and restart. Then we have video. I can't change that shit in the WMC client. That's cool, but it's not HD. Can I get a discount?

Now, I'd be cool with the fact that my HTPC (which is otherwise quite capable of 1080p, thankyouverymuch) isn't getting HD content, because I could at least have that thing playing and use another device, like my iPhone. Now, I was paying for the ability to stream HD to one device, and I wasn't getting that. I can't give you numbers for sure because your client is so locked down. However, I'm pretty sure that the SD-only stream my HTPC receives plus the mobile video on my iPhone still isn't the resolution I was paying for, but that's now blocked.

Can I have my money (and time) back?

(P.S. Dear Slashdot: You owe me karma back from the Google+ post. How the HELL did that end up there?)

ah balls wrong story. lol

Well that's because most people think men's rights are nuts.

I have a B.S. in social work, and let me tell you what, any time I came to the front of my classroom - where I was usually the only guy, at the least in a very, very small minority - I was looked at like a crazy man for mentioning men's rights.

And when I didn't watch a foreign exchange student on the edge of tears as she was swabbed down for explosive residue.

lol whut? on the edge of tears from having a swab run on your palms? must be her first trip outside the family home.

We need to know this. If that's the case, the two can become symbionts, and I don't have to hire someone when I go on vacation. Parrot orders the dog around, so he's getting fed and watered, and the dog can let itself out. Exercise? We just repeat eclectus's parrot's method, 40 times daily.

This is especially important for animals like cats. For example, I could tell my cat I wanted to roughly play by turning by body sideways, puffing my body, and slowly progressing toward him. Oddly enough, this is the same language they use with each other and what he used with me. Its funny as hell for a human to do, but it communicates everything to a cat.

Ha! Me too! Unfortunately, I have nothing on my cat's version of it, which is to pop like a piece of popcorn in the air to about chest level and let out this horrendous "barking" sound that he could only have learned because he was the "tester cat" for dogs at the pound for a while. It's downright demonic, but he sure didn't learn that from me, and he's sure trying to communicate (chase me, or get the laser, or wtf have I been ignored all day?)

So basically, what you're telling me is that if my neighbor is blasting music at my property day in and day out, it's not cool to go ask the DJ to play a different song if the neighbor neither notices nor seemingly cares?
