Why people seem to forget that twitter is PUBLIC is crazy.

"There's no victory-condition for being human"

Bruce should license that to thinkgeek for a T-shirt. He could make MILLIONS!

Or...err....some money at least.

Same here on that "There isn't enough Bitcoin to go around".

I just don't get that people don'd understand that bitcoin is divisible to something like 7 decimal places (or is it 8?)

I don't have DSL, but there are still a lot of people who are REALLY far from the CO and still have 1.5Mb/s downstream (or are just paying the minimum price)

"Previously, the only way to run YouTube over a Roku box was to use the third-party, subscription based PlayOn service, which requires a connected PC or Mac running the PlayOn app. "

Incorrect.

Plex could run Youtube with a roku just fine and no subscription needed.

I don't think he'll have a problem getting a new job

Although it's going to take a couple of years, you can expect H.265 to help DSL big time. I've read and watched several industry talks on H.265 and by far the two biggest things that H.265 will help is mobile/low bandwidth content delivery (DSL users were specifically mentioned) and of course video conferencing.

Figure a DSL user has a downstream capacity of 1 to 1.5Mb/s of downstream capacity. H.265 will make decent 720p over those throughput capacities a reality.

I have to agree with this.

I have a Roku, and that in combination with a Plex media server even negates using Hulu plus in many circumstances. In fact, it's BETTER as the PLEX plugins for the major networks (it's a little bit of a chore to find some of them) stream them in HD without any commercials at all.

In my case (and many I'd guess) is that I live 40 miles from the major affiliates stations, so getting OTA signal is going to require a big honking antenna with a pre-amp.

Why do you think 80% would be turned in?

You forget, since Marbury vs Madison the constitution IS what the supreme court says it is.

thus if the supreme court says the 2nd amendment gives the right for everybody to have a gun THEN that is what it means (until they say otherwise).

the problem is, that ship sailed in the U.S. LONG ago.

Even if you made all guns illegal today there would still be hundreds of millions of guns around for decades and decades.

They are asking to grant "person" status. Not Human status.

You assume a government free of control by outside forces.....

You can't rationally argue a person out of a position that they didn't rationally get into.

I've learned this from being married. When somebody's ego is at risk being wrong it does not matter what they are arguing. They will more than likely NOT admit they are wrong.

It's better just to say "ok" and move on to something more important.

On my lunch bag when I put it in the fridge at work I put

"Strontium-90 - RADIOACTIVE" on one side

The other I put

"LIVE SPECIMEN - BIOHAZZARD"
