Wisconsin is known for it's cheese. Or if you're in NYC I would visit the Cheese Factory on Bleecker street in the West Village. I'm not a big fan of cheese (except mild cheeses like Mozzarella) but they've got the best cheeses I've ever tried. The also have a cave downstairs for aged cheeses, didn't visit that since I'm not a fan. My roommates loved it (they're big cheese fans, got them some cheddar and gouda.)

I don't know why we would switch. Vista was such a shit show that Windows 7 was a blessing, but Windows 8 just seems to do nothing better than Windows 7 on a desktop compter (which is my primary use at home and at work) so why would I spend the money upgrading? I don't even want to pirate Windows 8 for my home computer just to play around. Used it a few times and I didn't like it, and I'm dreading not having Windows 7 included with our new computers.

Probably after Windows 7, it installed very quickly and easily last time I installed it (probably a month or two ago, I build a lot of computers.) Plus, you're referencing a 6 year old bug from an OS that has been followed by 2 major releases. I'm generally a Windows hater (especially 7) but you're arguing just for the sake of arguing.

The Logitech Harmony remotes require you to register online just to use them. There is no way to program the remote offline or without an account with Logitech. It makes sense that they don't want you having to download a massive database for every ir device you can posibly use but they should at least let you download a basic database for the devices you own.

The law also states that the sex offenders must pinky promise not to make any new usernames or online aliases, or else!

This is a ridiculous law that can never be fully enforced and won't work the way people think it will. What the hell are they even trying to accomplish with it?

I know I shouldn't feed the trolls but this post really hits home so I just have to respond.

During the week I'm a network engineer for a large phone system vendor in Manhattan that has hundreds of big customers relying on those data centers to be up. During this weekend I'm at my families house on Staten Island so I can volunteer and help hurricane victims and their families (which includes members of my family.) So this is news that actually matters to me.

So please, fuck off and die in a fire.

Can't you just as easily call a car service? I live in Brooklyn and work in Manhattan. I never take a yellow cab anywhere in Manhattan, I always ride the subway (or drive if I need a car for work.) If I'm in Brooklyn and I'm feeling lazy or just tired I call a car service. The other option would be to allow this app to contact a car service for you. Why does it need to hail a yellow cab?

Like the previous post said, not much worth stealing...

This post exactly. It's not that a hot dog with ketchup and fries is a perfect pairing of food, it's just what you might be used to growing up so eating one is often attributed to the other. I don't think tacos and Pepsi are a perfect pairing but whenever I go to Taco Bell I want Pepsi with my meal. I never noticed this till I stopped drinking soda, the meal tastes odd without the Pepsi because that's what I used to drink every time I went.

I work in NYC and it the walk to and from my office off the subway can smell very very awful on days where its hot and there was just a garbage pickup. All I could think was "Why isn't there a better method of collecting trash in the city other than leave it outside to rot till someone picks it up." There arent even trash cans to hold the bags, so all the "garbage juice" collects on the sidewalk and reaks. I couldn't really think of any good easy to implement and maintain methods (and this certainly doesn't sound easy) but I'm impressed someone actually came up with and implemented this system.

Didn't read the article but don't your feet move a further distance at a higher rate of speed than your knees? Or is it the bending movement of the knees that helps generate electricity?

That would put the police in danger, getting in that close while you're surrounded by people who may or may not want to hurt you. The police are trained to avoid putting themselves in that sort of situation. Plus the amount of physical force required to pry them apart might have sent people to the hospital with real injuries (bruises mostly but more than "owie my eyes sting".) There were two people sent to the hospital treated and released, I'd be willing to bet that they had absolutely no need to go to the hospital. They likely only went because they know if they go and ham it up, claim brutality and can fake some injuries well enough they can sue the police department for using excessive force. It doesn't seem like anyone has done that though so likely no one was injured.

So your answer is "The cops should have sat around pissed off at protestors"? If the police arest someone who just threw a brick through your window, and some OWS guys surround the police, the police should just sit around and do nothing because the protestors are being peaceful?

Lots of people claim the police overstep their bounds all the time but never provide a practical alternative. And yes lots of times the police overstep their bounds but I don't think this is one of those times.

The police had detained protestors inside the circle and walking them over isn't an option (they wouldn't go willingly.)

Yes I totally see your point the police overstepped their bounds, I can't believe the hell these protestors went through. You see how they're rolling around holding their faces and screaming after the pepper spray hits them. Oh wait they're not, it actually seems like none of them are the slightest bit phased by the pepper spray. So either these are super protestors who eat nails for breakfast, or whatever they're being sprayed with isn't nearly half as bad as you think it is. Plus, after the video when the police manage to finally make a hole you can see at least a dozen officers walking through with a few protestors bound with zip ties.

So basically the protestors were blocking the police from going where they needed to go, the police asked repeatedly for the protestors to move, the police warned the protestors they will be pepper sprayed, the police sprayed the protestors (which again, didn't seem to phase them) and then the police managed to pull one of the protestors out and make an opening to allow the blocked police to make their way through.

Should they have waited longer? Should they have asked nicer? Would you rather have seen the night sticks come out?

Imagine you were carrying a couch out of your house (or any sort of dead weight which would be the detained protestors the police were trying to get through) and you find your entire block is surrounded by OWS protestors holding arms together. You have to get this couch past them eventually and there's no way around to do it. You can't throw the couch cause it'll break (or it'll pretend to be broken, upload a video of you "breaking" it on Youtube and have you suspended), you can't step over the protestors cause the couch is too heavy and you already tried asking them to move but they told you they'll only move if you put the couch back. What do you do?
