I worked for a lab that occasionally did work for them. I have no impression of them at all other than they were a client with a weird name. They sent samples, we analyzed said samples, sent them results, they paid, rinse, repeat. If they wanted interpretation, that'd be handled by the forensics division but I doubt they ever did.

Range. Range. Range. Ability to recharge quickly at many locations. Range. Make it look cool. Range.

There. Paypal me a bunch of money, Nissan. Did they really not know this?

William Atherton better have his home insurance paid up.

I don't get a discount for short statements or a fee for long ones so we're right back to me not giving half a shit about the number of line items on my statement.

And I'm old fashioned because I still get most of my bills snail-mailed to me.

Oh, now I get it! How do I transfer my 401k? :)

Who gives half a shit how many line items are on their debit/credit statement? This has all the logic of putting money on a gift card.

I guess it could be used like an allowance for kids but it'd make more sense to give the kid a pre-paid Visa/Mastercard and drop a fixed amount on it every month. That way they can use it anywhere instead of just at the one or two places where some proprietary currency is accepted.

The whole thing smacks of Itchy and Scratchy Bucks.

The IPv4 crisis was around when I got into IT back in the early 90s. So thats...over 20 years? That can't be right because, counting forward from...D'oh!

Get off my lawn!

Do people still think cell phones cause gas pumps to explode? Some of my early cell phones had warnings about that in their manuals.

My Sony CM Z100 is still one of my favorites. Everyone else was lugging around those flip-bricks with extended NiCd packs that barely lasted 8 hours on standby. My little phone slipped in a pocket and ran 24 hours on a charge.

Two buttons?!? You spoiled brat. My first gaming console had one button. And I was glad to have it!

Damnit. Okay, my card number is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX exp XX/XX ccv XXX

Is that why that creepy van's been parked at the end of my driveway for a week?

Not. Looks like things haven't changed in generations.

My grandpa moved from the east coast to the west coast back in the 50s because of non-poaching agreements in the aircraft industry.

I plug my laptop into the TV and play stuff from my storage array.

If I wanted some sort of dedicated device, I'd put XBMC on a Raspberry Pi, point it at my array, and control it with my phone, tablet, or laptop.

I have a controller that stops functioning when the weather gets down into the 20s. A 60 watt incandescent on a thermostatic outlet is perfect. For my use, it's a 90% efficient heat source.
