I should correct my self. I should have said "since before Christianity was a gleam in Ahura Mazda's eye".

I'd like to know who believes that crap? Those that do should emulate Heavens Gate. I mean Time Cube is probably more believable. Religious Nuts have been predicting the End since before Christianity was a gleam in Zoroaster's eye. How many times has it come true?

Is ebiblefellowship the same wacko that predicted it on May 21 and was wrong?

The Rapture Index (http://www.raptureready.com/rap2.html) is another example of idiocy. Their indicators are War, Peace, Economy up, Economy down, Good Times, Bad Times, Natural Disasters, Anti-Semitism and more. Basically, shit that happens everyday on earth.

Additionally, the oil and filter that Juffy Lube uses by default is the lowest quality available. If you want to go synthetic with a good filter or any variation in between, Jiffy Lube costs more. Plus I get a chance to inspect stuff under the car for any issues. Changing the oil, after you've done it a few times, takes only 15-20 minutes, even for Joe-Six pack. Also I'd like to point out that it's only worth your time if you are indeed using that time at Jiffy Lube to make money.

No it's not obvious, what's so wrong with knocking out a few of those tax loopholes to help balance the budget and pay back debt? I don't think that anyone is claiming that *just* closing loopholes is the magic panacea to our debt issues. I really don't think that closing them is going to equate to a disastrous loss of jobs.

I hate to bring this up, but I'm a registered independent and both parties (DnR) blow donkey and causes more and more polarization. This current situation where the R's are holding a shotgun to the country's head over closing the loopholes (I don't think either side will disagree that we need to reduce spending). Part of me thinks that the TeaBagger's are trying to default intentionally by stalling and making unreasonable demands (they see "starving the beast" as the greater good).

I think a law to balance the budget might be a good idea depending on how it's written. What I *don't* believe is that it belongs as a constitutional amendment.

I apologize I didn't mean to rant, but this country needs the middle to speak up and toss both DnR's out on their collective ass's.

My first is due to pop out in Oct. and I've put The 123/Science and ABC's in our registry. Along with a couple of other ones such as Bed, Bed, Bed and No! Looking forward to them immensely.

Since the entire system was pitched to them as a way to

1) Increase revenues
2) Reduce police workload
3) Make intersections safer

It does none of those things and evidently costs the city money annually on top of that. The only things that they do seem to do is

1) Make money for operators
2) Piss off everyone else.
3) Erode your rights

Concur, the free wireless is nifty as well I wonder what it costs them? I'm currently working through the Baen Free Online Library and I haven't bought any ebooks from Amazon.

I completely agree. The last *good* products Sony made were the Walkman's. After that they became a POS brand that replied on the reputation they built in the 80's.

Hey! I'm a vegan, not because I don't like meat, but because I like the way that those veggies scream when you eat them.

Q: Also, how many feminists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: 2. One to change it, and one to suck my d*ck.

(Just for good measure)
I'm anti-abortion and I'm pro-killing babies.

translate as "We're looking for funding.".

What make Silat so much better than Judo? Just wondering as I have a curiosity regarding it. I married a Malay, and during our Wedding Parade(?) they (wifes family) had a friend perform a Silat demo before they allowed the grooms party to enter. They explained that it was traditional for some reason... I became interested in it and it appears that one of the more famous Silat practioners lives in Denver http://www.willemdethouars.com/. When I called to inquire about lessons they didn't seem interested in new students...

I'm not sure if you a troll but I would just like to say your opinion is short-sighted. To stretch an analogy (My apologies to Bad Analogy Guy). Your entire argument assumes that Sony somehow retains ownership/rights to the PS3 that you have bought and paid for. This is not a natural idea and has been pushed hard/?purchased? by the various players in the patent/copyright industry. The best example of how things should operate that I can think of is Compaq. Remember back when IBM was selling the IBM PC and the were $2-3000 a pop and 30MB MFM drives were the norm? PC's were popular but were still far too expensive for the masses. Then a company called Compaq came along and (clean room) reversed engineered the IBM BIOS. Suddenly, the race for faster/better/cheaper was on. IBM tried and lost in court (as they should have).

Compaq was on the right side of the law and we all benefited in enormous ways.... Including IBM. Geohot is not the one that you should be blaming.

I almost want to commend the industry lobbyists/marketroids, responsible for molding your thoughts like this, for a job well done, they earned their paycheck.

I'll bite, this is my first HDTV, I also purchased some rabbit ears and dropped my cable TV because HD cable has the same problem that SD cable has: Endless Channels of Nothing Good On.

So I manage to get by with nothing but rabbit ears and connected TV which has Netflix/Pandora/(more) was well as PS3 and my audio component stack (including Myth) connected to it.

My wife and I don't care for the vapid sheeple fodder (in HD!) that is found on TV nowadays and, with a couple of exceptions, don't follow any show religiously. The connected TV was the "Straw" that caused us to drop SD cable and just use the internet. So I guess that we're one of those customers that is causing Comcast to wet their pants right now.

The one that I just got supports external HDD's, USB Cameras, wired, wireless, HTTP (via vieracast). Granted, the TV's OS is very limited, but it supports enough that it could be very damaging if compromised.

For instance, my TV currently has stored in it passwords for my Skype/Netflix/Pandora accounts as well as my WPA2 creds.

The very limited VieraCast interface simply uses HTTP to generate it's menus and people have already started to use squid/DNS redirecting to do things like stream from Myth etc etc.

This guy so far seems to have made the most progress.

What I'd like to know is how many civilians have been killed by the hands of the "terrorists/taliban/religous fanatics" compared to the US Military.
