The USB-A should be relocated between the Centronics and RS-232 ports. Save space by mounting it vertically!

bizarre as it sounds, try Walmart's house brand, Onn.

they'er the only brand (other than apple itself) that I've tried that consistently works (and I've tried most if not all of the major brands).

They usually last until I do something stupid (leave behind, catch in hinges, drop laptop cable first, etc.). And the price is right, too--most are $6-$10.

>I'm hoping to see the first recycled reactor core! ;^)

c'mon, now.

*everyone* knows that reactor cores blow into a fireball of plasma when you eject them, as soon as they're far enough out that the writers think the ship can (almost) plausibly escape! :)

Yep, indeed.

Universal healthcare is also a significant reason why the US loses out to every other rich country in the world in objective metrics of healthcare.

(e.g., cost, longevity, infant mortality, maternal mortality, etc.)

It's definitely a trend:

Now it's on! Jack with my coffee and you're gonna have one hell of a time with me in the morning!

So they can add it to enterprise bundles, I'm guessing.

Advertising prescription drugs wasn't permitted until the mid 80's. For comparison, cigarette ads were banned in the early 70s.

My CU offers a bit of reimbursement, which I don't use.

Fidelity, however, has "all fees reimbursed" for a number of accounts.

Then again, you're not likely to have a cash account there if you don't have significant other assets with them.

this appears to be an urban legend, although oft repeated.

In the last years of her life, she was pretty much pleading for help for her medical bills.

In my car, I have an after-market satellite radio and navigation system installed. Every time I turn on the car, I get some idiotic disclaimer saying not to use it while driving. The system takes a few seconds to boot up, so often I'm already started and in reverse by the time the stupid warning comes up. I back out, shift into drive, and start moving. Then I see the stupid warning, and it distracts me to dismiss it so I see the damned map. So it accomplishes nothing, and actually worsens what it tries to prevent.

Today I was in a Buick with the factory satellite radio, navigation system, and Bluetooth installed. I was the passenger. We're on a long trip, and I decide to change some settings on the device. This has no effect on the driver, and no effect on the safe operation of the vehicle. But it won't let me do it, and claims that it can't perform such and such an operation "while the vehicle is moving." So the driver pulls over on the interstate, in the dark, off to the side in the emergency lane, and halts the vehicle so I can change the damned setting and option. Then she has to merge from a stop on the highway back onto the highway, accelerate into traffic, and carry on. So this improved safety...how?

The end game will be dismissal of the case for lack of standing.

It is well established that cows lack standing to sue, even if they can be in chk-a-fil ads! :)

>I can hit the mute button if need be.

the mute button was the most important technological advance in the second half of the twentieth century, even ahead of recording and fast forward.

It does, though, mean missing all those opportunities to by precious metals for a third their value, guaranteed acceptance insurance with a benefit of three months or so of premiums, and so forth. Oh, and all those products worth about the shipping cost, but with the opportunity to pay a few tines that plus shipping.

>Some of the antenna farms are 50 miles away.

you don't need that kind of distance go have a problem.

most of the transmitters in town are something like 5-7 miles from me. I can clearly see them with my naked eye from about half my front porch (a two story pool building across the street blocks the line form about half).

But they seem to have crammed two many sub-channels into too little bandwidth. Some days my wife's favorite western channel comes in perfectly clearly, but mild weather variation can cause it to collapse into non-watchable, with no sound and a half a frame every several seconds. All the while, the main .1 station would be coming in just fine.

over time, they allocate more and less bandwidth to the various little channels.
