Outside lane means the right, slow vehicle lane. Where the Semi's are supposed to be if they're not passing anyone. The law you're talking about only applies to the Inside left hand lane, otherwise known as the hammer lane. If you're just cruising there and you've got a faster vehicle coming up behind you, you have to move over or risk being pulled over.

The really screwed up thing about Georgia: If you're cruising 82 in a 70 in the left hand lane and you've got traffic behind you, you can be ticketed by anyone (municipal, county, or state) for speeding, And get a separate ticket for impeding traffic. If you're doing 80 or less (81 can also be dismissed as reasonable doubt in court without penalty to the officer or municipality/county due to the +/- 1mph error margin given to ALL speed detection devices), municipal and county enforcement can only get you for impeding traffic, though state still has the legal ability to issue both.

And nothing of value was lost... (I was almost going to say "except for maybe the Marvel movies", but then I realized: outside of their initial theater runs, I've not watched a damn one of them aside from filler noise at friends houses, and I have no desire to.)

Wasn't that the core plot to Fringe? That the entire series wouldn't have existed if a crackpot physicist didn't muck up the balance of things by stealing a different version of his kid from a universe where he didn't die, thus starting an interuniversal war?

On a different note: Is there any character that John Noble has played that wasn't some kind of Crackpot? If not, what does that say for the psyche of Mr. Noble himself?

I know this is an FP troll...but it may not be as off topic to the summary as people, even the troll him/her self, may think (regardless of the horrible grammar). The dipshit spouting this dream is advocating a type of Rockstar Teacher model. That's too much power for one person to have. "The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world." The critical point of having multiple teachers of multiple backgrounds educating children through their lives is so that the child is (theoretically) not exposed to a single point of view in their development. Having this singular person pushing a singular agenda over the minds of millions of children at a time is begging for Oceania to become a reality. In effect, the teacher on the thousands of big screens will be effectively telling millions of children: "Kneel my peasants. I am the King!"

For some reason I thought the Highlander was a body on frame. I stand corrected. Thanks!

It's like there's unbridled chaos and anarchy over there... Almost sounds like a warzone.

I very well could be a victim of Poe's Law and didn't realize it. Re-reading your post with the knowledge that you were being sarcastic...yeah. It's subtle. Very subtle if you're not paying attention (like I wasn't). Good play.

New MacBook??

Is... is that what you're talking about? $1300 for at best a 1.3 GHZ dual-core Intel M (I don't care about "turbo" freq)? Dell has a comparable one for $200 and that gets you a 2.5 GHz dual-core Celeron at worst. The Dell is what fills options 1,2, and 3 above. The Mac breaks 1 & 3. 4 & 5 can most likely be fixed for another $100-400 to pay someone to either rip out 8.1 or skin it to look like XP. You're right in that Apple is Targeting the basic need user. But they're not targeting the basic need user with a limited budget ( the kind of Customer jbolden is talking about above), they're targeting people with more money than sense and a distinct need for "New Shiny"...as they've always done.

And to your last point... Do you really honestly believe that OSX is even CLOSE to XP's interface? The Closest Windows UI that anyone says OSX replicates best is Windows 7, and even then...there's no Start Menu. I've worked with computer illiterate people that had to migrate from XP for one reason or another. The Start Menu has always been critical to the flow they've been comfortable with for 20 years and you wouldn't believe how much teeth pulling was involved to get them to understand the concept of the Aero Taskbar. I mean seriously, have you ever worked with a Windows 9x+ box? Ever? The only MS created interface that even remotely looked or behaved like Mac OS and later OSX was Progman of 3.x fame.

The Tahoe/Yukon hybrid... now there's a definition for useless. Thing didn't get any better mileage than the models that just had AFM and it was unjustifiably more expensive for what you got out of it.

I dunno about this. My little S-10 Blazer was able to transport a queen futon without much trouble fitting, aside from having to have the window Hatch Open and bungies to secure/flag it so it was legal for transport. My crossover (Chevy Traverse) has just as much volume.....but (un)surprisingly they engineered the freakin thing into an egg-shape that wouldn't let the futon fit in at any angle. Also, having the hatch instead of a gate / window, I wouldn't have been able to let the thing hang out the back either. Piece of crap, I wish I never got the fucker.

Please tell me there's at least someone on this site that didn't take me overly serious? I know there's a lot of people here that have trouble with humor..but, I thought I was being rather blatant myself.
