So we're living Hell on earth?

There'll always be "other" no matter how many codes the ICD contains.

That's called an umbrella policy.

What is far scarier than all of this is someone from the North Canton School System has the fucking gall to come on /. and somehow, more than once, try to defend this absolutely deplorable practice. For fucks sake, you people must all be idiots, and I can feel some comfort that my children live damn far from Ohio.

I have a cfl in an outdoor fixture that in the summertime ranges from 30-80f and in the wintertime ranges from below 20 to around 30f. I've been using the same bulb for at least 2 years, and it's assuredly a cheap one.

Just one experience and I'm sure I'd better pick up a replacement on the way home...

Sweet! You live where it's too hot and people steal things from your yard. Sign me up! JK...

As most of my tech support assistance is for GOOD friends only (I long ago bailed on the frustrating path of coddling stupid users through their self inflicted fuckups), I have to agree that there is absolutely no protection against stupid, and as long as vectors use the path of least resistance, i.e. stupid, then they will win.

Stupid trumps all. Just watch some TV.

Bump for the ladyboy guy?

He must still be asleep this is pure fodder for him!

I think the limiting factor here is just that, that DirecTV is developing this product as an addition to their standard satellite package, rather than as a unique product, and as such are reducing the pool of potential viewers to only their current client base. Netflix is alternate entertainment provider agnostic and given the way DirecTV nickels and dimes you on EVERYTHING, somehow I doubt this will be cheaper than Netflix's offering.

Good luck DTV...

I wish I was in your position. I need my football and hockey, and I want them in real HD at this point to appreciate them. I so want this DirecTV box out of my house, but as I live in a broadcast TV "white zone" which means I don't get any reception AT ALL, I am shackled to DTV, Dish or god forbid, Comcast if I want to watch the NHL and NFL.

Are you fucking shitting me mod? Troll? Somebody get that mod's IP address.

Citation?

Really, crap?

I try not to join in the Apple supporting around here, but i remember my 1st gen iPod fondly, and when other people saw and used it, I don't remember them recoiling as if I'd handed them a steaming piece of shit.

I'm sure your zune/rio/whatever is pants. Everybody's got one, remember?

"you say your mother bought himself an iPhone"? I think you know more about dt's mother than you're letting on...

Honestly though, expecting 40 year old plants to be as safe as one built today is like expecting your 1969 Camaro to have onstar and that there should be an iPhone app to remotely unlock and start it.

Comparing 60's nuclear technology to 21st century nuclear technology is inherently unfair.
