why is this chick considered to be attractive?
if anything she's just a plain jane.
We'll see how good YOU look after you've been dead 50 years...
Warner wouldn't steal a car, would they?
They also wouldn't shoot a policeman and then steal his helmet.
Geez, idiots, just give me an option to pay $10~25/mo for live locals and sports stations and you'll get my money.
Yup, totally this. I'd gladly pay a monthly fee to watch my local baseball team over the internet, but that option does not exist as far as MLB is concerned. I have to resort to jailbreaking my iPad, installing Protect My Privacy, purchasing MLB.TV Premium and then telling MLB's AtBat app that I'm located somewhere other than North America.
(Note to anyone else interested... version 8.2 of AtBat seems vulnerable again to location spoofing. I don't guarantee the newer version they released a few days ago will continue to work.)
It's a garbage pod.
Yeah, I've lived and worked in/around Seattle since the 1980s - awful traffic is nothing new. Even back around 1990 it was ranked the 6th worst in the nation.
The people who think it's recently gotten much worse have likely moved here during the past five years or so. After the 2008 crash, traffic in Seattle improved a fair bit because a lot of people were out of work. It still wasn't great, but it was significantly better. Now that the economy is booming again, traffic sucks again.
I will say that, prior to the past year or so, northbound traffic jams heading out of downtown were a rarity... but nowadays they're pretty common. Thank heavens the U-Link light rail will be starting up soon.
Ever see those double chairs designed for making out? That what this looks like.
Is he over-reaching, well as we don't know what products and trademarks are involved, we don't know but it sure sounds like it.
Why do you assume that? I know it is in line with most of our pre-conceived biases, but we've been told pretty much nothing about this case. I don't know the original poster, and I have no reason to accept what he's telling me is accurate - or even true.
... plus there's the issue with basic hygiene...
Oh wait - I thought we were talking about women's studies.
I've watched enough television to know that female defense lawyers are ALWAYS married to - or at least dating - policemen.
1) Pick some rare advantageous trait (e.g. short sleepers, super multitaskers)
2) Post a story about it on Slashdot
3) Observe the large number of posters who claim to have the trait
Optionally:
4) Cross-correlate these posters against list of posters claiming to possess a different rare advantageous trait in previous Slashdot discussions
... but rubbing them with cheetah blood makes them even faster.
Maybe those "harbingers of failure" are just people who are a bit more persistent in their choices and less fickle, or they are the normal ones: people who pick stuff because they like it, not because their friends do.
You're taking this WAY too personally...
The device they thought of as the "Total Immersion Video" unit was in truth a time machine.
Nostradamus' "Hister" was clearly a foretelling of Lister. It's eerie how he knew about Red Dwarf hundreds of years before television was even invented!
Old programmers never die, they just hit account block limit.
