But you will have a problem with that. This isn't about free OTA broadcasts. If this renders commercials moot to the point that no one advertises on TV (free OTA or pay channels) the channels will charge even higher fees for cable and satellite companies to carry their channels. Then cable and satellite channels will no longer be subsidized by ads and will get more expensive.

You couldn't be more wrong. Some times renting is cheaper. If I need a U-Haul to move across town one time, it is definitely cheaper to rent one for the day instead of buying a U-Haul truck. The same is true with cars. If I go on vacation somewhere for 2 weeks, it is much cheaper to rent a car than to buy one for the time I'm there.

If you need to have the vehicle everyday, than yes, buying is probably cheaper. For infrequent usage, renting may just be the better option.

The difference of course is that additive processes are mostly concerned with making a piece that is the right shape. The microstructure of the produced piece may be woefully inadequate compared to other methods of production.

I see you lamenting the lack of angle brackets in your post, so I don't know if you were serious or not about all your points.

If Apple does put voice recognition in a TV set, it will be typical that most people will think they are an amazing innovator, even though there are voice recognition TVs available now. Samsung Smart TV

I think a lawyer could argue that the original KS had been published as it was accessible to the public. It was published by a bug, but it's debatable that it was indeed published.

Aside from voting, you can do all of those after December 21st. I know lots of people that do that already.

Wow dude. The GP said nothing about things with real life counterparts not being video games. No mention at all why he thinks video games and computer games are different. Learn to read. Then you can join the discussion.

What exactly does half-naked mean? I would assume either her top half or her bottom half had no clothes on, but it just seems to be her in a sheer outfit. I hope they got better pictures when they hacked her phone.
