Panama - Van Halen
Relevant Drew Carey episode:
"Celia returns from an out-of-town trip and learns about Drew's fight with Winfred-Louder. She offers her support. The store recruits Mimi to try to drive Drew out of the house. She points blinding lights at the house and constantly blasts "Panama" by Van Halen."
E.D. Hirsch coined the term "cultural literacy" to describe aspects of culture which have meaning that goes beyond the basic words.

Another happy WDTV Live user here. I have this exact model, purchased in November 2011:

Just set up a SMB or NFS share on any computer you want, and this device will play ANYTHING you can throw at it (including flv, at least in my experience). Has 100Mb ethernet, N wifi, HDMI out, optical out, USB port, and a remote.
It will talk to a "media server" if you really want it to (DLNA, etc), but I've found a simple file share is the way to go.
Just like all gun owners think they are responsible.
Well, considering my Mac *is* supported and was built approx 6 years ago, your computer *is* getting a bit long in the tooth by conventional standards.
How about death rate instead of murder rate?
Accidents, "justifiable" shootings, etc are what I'm interested in.
Go take a drill to a cannister of liquid CO2 and let me know how that works for you.
I imagine it would go better than sitting the canister of liquid CO2 on a stove burner and then just sitting back and waiting...
Do have gas heat? If so, it *is* a waste.
Rammed through?
Only due to 60 votes being the "new normal" to get any legislation to a vote.
So it was only ramming through if we agree the GOP was *again* making egregious misuse of the filibuster. Otherwise, it's just business as usual for both sides.
In other words, the system gives gives enough advance warning so you know what you're about to gently bump into after screaming to a stop in a cloud of smoke. Or crash into, if the pavement happens to be wet.
Can a human do better? That's the real question...
99% of the time it does nothing. But that 1% it's a useful tool indeed.
Ah, that may be true with seatbelts, but not true with guns. There are 3 states in which a gun can exist:
1) Doing nothing
2) Being a useful tool
3) Being a danger to people you don't want it to be a danger to.
Seatbelts don't have a habit of accidentally killing people, or being so dangerous to possess that they're more likely to kill you or a member of your family than to be used successfully as a "useful tool" (in defense).
Paging the world's smallest violin, you're needed on board the waaaamublance.
Nope, polygraphs DO work....but only because people THINK they work.
They trick people into confessing things they wouldn't otherwise confess, because "the machine will find out" anyway and at least there may be some mercy if they voluntarily confess.
All bullshit, of course, but it does work....just not for the reasons we assume it does.
I live in Paris... the waiters are fine. The tourists are a pain in the ass.
I bet your economy likes the $ they spend, though...
