Isn't it mostly the molded shape of the handle that people are talking about about scissors being right handed? If you try to use them left handed, you're basically pushing down on the sharp-ish ends of the plastic mold, rather than it being molded for your hands to grip around.. (though I would think it would still be usable left handed.)
Except for the fact that they think this is secret information ("Restricted" on the document), what's the big deal about this getting out?
I mean, they think he broke laws, so of course they'd want to arrest him "under all circumstances". That seems like it would be the case from the police for all suspected criminals.
It sounds like she got less or NO care in Canada (due to waiting), and would have gotten care sooner in the U.S. Especially with cancer, sooner care results in better outcomes.
and spending $40 (way back then!) of my hard earned money for 2600 DK is one of the first bad purchases with my own money that I remember. (Sure, I think everybody got toys as presents that weren't as fun as they thought they'd be.)
Other 2600 games, even PacMan, were fun even though they were very unlike the original arcade versions.
Heck, I think Mattel Baseball for the 2600 is one of the most fun 2 player games I've played (though I guess it's been 20 years since I played it, wow).
but the CPU is very limited on that machine so...better than nothing
What are you referring to? The Atari 2600 uses a 6507, which is basically a 6502 without interrupts and a smaller address space. Is it the speed or the address space, or what, that you're calling limited?
Basically, the *rest* of the hardware is what I'd say are more limiting.
You get 2.6% cash back and everything is 4% more expensive than it would otherwise be because merchants are paying fees.
I already responded to that specific argument: Yes, there is the credit card fee bundled into the price, but as I say every time, at each individual purchase, the price I pay is the same, so it's advantageous for me to use credit cards.
In various financial articles I read today, it said that the typical P/E ratio was market dependent. So if that's true, you can't reasonably compare the P/E of an electronics company with that of an oil company.
OK, even as a collector/hoarder, I don't think I'd buy 500 games. Even with the couple of collections I have (PS2 collections of older games), I think I'm only in the several-tens of games. But even with those, I am usually interested in a couple of them, and the rest are essentially shovelware. (Though I do try most of them out at some point, whereas I wouldn't pay $5 for each of them.)
You would be surprised at the number of people who use a credit card or debit card at McDonalds, other fast food places, 7-11s, or Wawas. They could have just hit the ATM for $20 and saved a few dollars by paying cash. Those ATM fees add up.
I use a credit card at those places. I get about 2.61% back at restaurants (3x points for restaurants, but it's 115 pts/$1 for credits), and 2% back at gas stations and grocery stores. Gas costs more (technically it's a cash discount) at the time of purchase, but counting the cash back, I'm paying the same or less compared to other nearby gas stations.
I pay off in full every month, so it's more convenient and cheaper for me to use credit cards. (Yes, there is the credit card fee bundled into the price, but as I say every time, at each individual purchase, the price I pay is the same (gas station exception explained above), so it's advantageous for me to use credit cards.)
As for the main topic -- wasn't the whole point of this BitCoin thing to be anonymous? If you're using a credit card/debit card, even if it's backed by BitCoin, it's not going to be anonymous, right?
Do you mean the $5-ish Wii store ones? That seems reasonable to me. Sure, cheaper is better, but I've not played most of the Mario games (fully), so they're essentially new games to me.
Though I finally bought another version of a game I already have -- the PS3 Sly Collection. (The cost will end up being refunded due to credit card rewards.) Price matched to $19.99, but I still would rather have paid the extra amount to have the PS3 itself (the one that was new when I bought it) be backward compatible. [Yes, I know the original two versions were.]
Well none. No olympics for me. Even though NBC is OTA. Hell put 1/3 of the screen with ads, just let me watch the damn stuff life.
Despite NBC being "OTA", they aired Olympics on far more than just the OTA channels. Most days, they had 8-12 hour blocks of programming on *several* cable channels.
(I admit I mostly watched the 'main' NBC prime time coverage this time, but in the past, I have watched coverage on some of the other channels on which they aired events.)

I can't find a citation, but I thought that at least in California there was a product support requirement (including repair & parts) for 7 years. Is that a myth too, or maybe it's only for electronics?
Never buy lifetime memberships. They are scams -- where do they get the money to keep business ging several years down the road?
They get the money from the people who are paying monthly/yearly, who either haven't done the calculation to figure out that the lifetime makes more sense, or simply choose not to get the lifetime membership. (Maybe it's to only one specific one, and they may move, or something.)
Heck, even if the company does go out of business, the "lifetime" membership could be worth it to the user, still being amortized over the amount of time they were able to use it.
I always get lifetime subscriptions on TiVos, even though it's for the lifetime of the device.. (and I do have one that died, though I now have another for parts to hopefully revive it.. it's not a hard drive issue, the usual easily-fixed issue).

...word choices make...
"Clothes" is a noun. "Clothe" is a verb.
It seemed like a typo at first, but you used "clothe" multiple times as if it were a noun.
Yes, this is a nitpick, but the wrong word choices makes interpreting what you're trying to say more difficult.
Yes. Isaac Asimov wrote an article for TV Guide in the 1970s about how "Three's Company" was his favorite program.
No, they say "[citation needed]".

The NES uses a CPU based upon a 6502.
Do you want the SmartMeters to have "radiation emission" warnings on them for the nutjobs who are afraid of those too?

You can now update OTA, you can do backups to iCloud, you can get apps OTA.
What do you *need* iTunes for?
The post you responded to was talking about the *share* price. (I admit it wasn't blatantly obvious.)
Plus, name an iPad competitor that has equivalent hardware & software that is 50% of the price.
