Maybe what would work better might be some form of common interface for a media "box" to attach to a TV.

Rather than running as a separate unit, have a dock etc where you could install such a device where it would be able to get power, display output, and possible use the TV remote etc.

USB has been around for quite awhile in various incarnations, so maybe a hybrid USB+HDMI type interface might work.

we all know the unions would never accept minimum wage

My wife is union and makes minimum wage

He was acting rather Kingly, in the old oppressive model (unlike the dopey harmless old people model used around Europe and southeast Asia these days) ~14 million Egyptians called out, "Help! Help! We're being oppressed" and the army removed the threat rather efficaciously. The army has learned, too, they don't want to be in charge and blamed if anything goes tits-up. Tough job for that Head of the (now suspended) Constitutional Court.

How useful is the information on the letter?
I've never been ID'ed when delivering a package, and anyone can drop an envelope in the mailbox with whatever details they want on the cover.
What's to stop somebody from creating a package/letter/etc containing something nasty with somebody else's details on it?

Tongue depressor? You mean like McDonald's food?

If the Republicans can get total control, even by slim majorities

That's one heck of a big "if"; they've been awful, just awful. Democrats are no stars, but I can't see any way I could vote for a republican at this juncture. When it comes to choosing the lesser of two evils, the Democrats win every time. Republicans have to stop screwing up left and right on women's issues, they they have to stop dragging their feet in congress, they have to stop the outright fraud in their conventions, they have to stop the superstitious crazy, they have to start paying attention to the people who don't have their own business, they have to stop trampling the constitution at every step (dems too, but the republicans are much worse), they have to stop making laws designed to keep the poor from voting...

I just can't see it. It seems to me that every move the republicans have made since about 2001 has been designed to push me towards the democrats. My guess is we're looking at democrat control of both houses, and 8 years of Hillary Clinton.

When the choice is between "wish it was better" and "OMFG, PLAGUE!"... well, you know.

They threw him out when he accused the doughnuts of spying on anyone with more than a 30-day token.

And the minute you buy the car some improvement comes out and if you can't upgrade a module easily you're stuck.

Sirius and XM merged about ten minutes after the car radio for my VW was manufactured, so it doesn't go to the higher channels. I'm not about to fork over $700 for a newer radio, when only the tuner needs a fix.

Not really an option when you have a fairly sculpted dash, unless you want it to look like something the local maniac hacked together with his own three hands.

The spirit of Jobs will continue to shine down upon them and power them. Ye of little belief.

Brace yourself, they're probably Journey fans.

Or a warrior princess...

Whose moons are these, some stinkin' committee, which allowed a bunch of frauds to demote Pluto to "dwarf planet" with disgusting act of skulduggery?

...a series of chair throwing games. Rumor has it that Mad Catz is looking into the design of a special controller with new partner IKEA.

...and other dead-above-the-neck types?

Nobody's going to roll this out unless Google or another larger player starts rolling it out and making the existing 6 Mb/s connections unpalatable to consumers.

We'll probably see this in about 10 years.
