I was just at Target this weekend, they had several minecraft branded toys. My son has a minecraft baby pig we purchased at kmart at least 6 months ago.

If it's so easily replicable, why hasn't it been replicated?
Hulu, more expensive and always has ads even with subscription.
Amazon, expensive up front or per episode costs.
Apple, expensive per episode pricing.
others, no selection or commercials.

In all, I find netflix's back catalog very compelling and well worth $7 / month. The original programming is icing on the cake.

good thing these are civil forfeiture cases.

Not just brown/red people, read about the rancher/farmer wars out west.

an app that displays a cool symbol, like the nike swoosh or Beats audio logo. It needs to cost a couple hundred to be worthwhile.

And I've recently adopted the habit at work of going to the restroom in an adjacent building once or twice a day rather than just always using one just down the hall

I hear you mate, give the office mates a break and leave that growler in another dept.

Labor value has been significantly less then capital value for a long time, by design.
IMHO, this is bullshit, but it goes back to at least the vilification of the labor movement in the 40's. It continues today, with wealthy "capitalists" convincing working people to forego their best interests because of whatever single issue they can get people worked up about. Obamacare, abortion, drugs, welfare cheats; all of these are social issues designed to distract. Even crime, terrorism, and our recent wars are blown way out of proportion to give people something to argue about.

Even 1.5 can handle video for one device. upload is unimportant.

My daughters school required Ipads this year, which parents had to either purchase or rent. They indicated they would offset books by using resources on the Ipad, since the rental fee was about the same as book fees usually are.
Oddly enough, when book fees came out, hers were twice the normal amount.

Recent studies show some people have less trouble reading on a small screen. I love reading on a small screen. I've been using ebooks since I got my hands on a palm m505. http://www.fastcoexist.com/167...

I've had better success with vpn's over dsl then cable, just my experience.

Out here in the real word, feeling full does matter. Even if you don't eat more, hungry kids are more easily distracted and have trouble learning. Hungry co-workers can be crabbier and less pleasant to e around.

The instant you discount people's feeling you are off the rails and into spherical cow territory.

Well, technically WW2 was just a continuation of WW1, so you hae to go back pretty far to measure. You also need to take into account the suffering during an after the war. Sure it all seems ok almost a century later.

and you are everyone, funny, your profile says loufoque.

I usually skim and ignore death threats, but I find the way he alternates between threats and endearments quite alarming.

I wouldn't be so sure about your Putin calculations. He may have some sort of ace up his sleeve. David beat Goliath with one stone.
