What is funny is NONE of the illegal versions of films are done in local theaters general seating. NONE. They are done by the staff in the booth or more typically the screeners are recoded at the Studio it's self.
Only the utter crap wanna-be releases are camcorder in a theater.
But the MPAA wants us to feel like dirty criminals when we go to the theater instead of cleaning their own house like they need to.
The cost of an OC3 data pipe to a POP with internet routing has dropped by nearly 30% since the date they claim it has went up 900% They are lying through their teeth.
Most Americans cant tell you how many states we have, and they will gladly sign a petition to ban the use of H2O, So please do not judge global IQ based on the land of morons I live in.
That is a scooter, it actually has a completely different category with insurance companies as a proper motorcycle does. At least my experience shopping for my daughter when she was 18 it was that way, I was told point blank, "if you bought her a scooter instead of a 250cc ninja the insurance would be dramatically lower."
Here's a fact for you. New cars are just as expensive. you trade repairs for a monthly payment, but only 4 years in you start adding repairs on top of that payment. New cars are just for people that want to show off their money/credit. Never ever buy new, you lose money like mad buying new cars.
Sadly it's not easy for a kid to ride a motorcycle anymore. Insurance rates are disgustingly high for anyone 18-25 and most states require a lot of medical coverage with your motorcycle insurance now, so kids cant afford to ride legally. Plus smaller bikes are becoming hard to find, anything 125-250cc is near impossible, and people that don't know motorcycles tell kids that is too small. I rode from Chicago to LA and back through texas on a 250cc honda rebel. Most guys that claim they know bikes have never ridden more than 2 hours at a time so they don't know squat about motorcycles. (I personally have worn out 6 motorcycles in my life, well over 100K miles on each. I now ride a BMW K1200LT because I'm an old fart that drags around his old lady and 140 pounds of misc crap.)
Add to that uneducated parents that scream "OH NO! motorcycles are dangerous!" And a kid today trying to get around on a bike instead of a car and you can connect the dots. It also takes a certain breed to ride a bike, it's not for everyone.... You cant be the typical hoodie wearing pothead and ride a motorcycle. you need your wits about you and clear vision to dodge the morons in the cars trying to kill you. In my 40 years of riding, I have even had COPS almost kill me with their not paying attention. Nothing like dressing down a cop verbally when they caused an accident.
My first car cost me $145.00 + $100 for a replacment engine in 1985 I spent christmas break in my dad's garage by had "refreshing" the engine by disassembling, hand lapping the valves, and cleaning things up and replacing seals and bearings. we then stuffed that engine into the car and I drove it for 4 years. Insurance was $59.00 a month for me for PL-PD and $5.00 in gas took me everywhere. Paid for all of it on my minimum wage Burger King job.
Today, a POS crap car ready to explode is $2500, a replacement junkyard engine is $550 that needs to be refreshed. Insurance is $225 a month for 18-21 for PL-PD and you will be lucky to go a week spending only $50.00 in gas. Kids cant make enough money to even buy a car or pay for insurance and gas.
It's because minimum wage is too low, Insurance companies are allowed to utterly gouge with insane high rates, and car values are horribly over inflated. The world has steadily went backwards cince the 1980's as far as income goes. Cost of living and inflation has bee out of control fora long time, but hidden from people because of how they cherry pick data.
It is only the 15 and 13 inch models. the 17" models do not have the same problems. That makes me happy as my 17" is my workhorse. The only laptop you could buy at the time with a Matte 1920X1080 screen and had decent hardware build. All other brand laptops made in 2011 were garbage with low res or the crap shiny screens.
Back then we did not require a bachelors degree to be a janitor or receptionist. Executives are retarded morons today so we have to be over edumacated to satisfy their egos.
"People simply don't have enough time on this planet to 'educate' themselves enough to meet such crazy standards. "
Yes we do. Want to know how?
1 - Stop this bullshit summer off for school. It is not needed, we are not an agricultural society anymore. 2 - Stop the bullshit 6 hour day. 9 hour day is what kids need. 3 - Stop stupid parents. Education is not only at school, it continues at home. We should not have to waste time teaching home-ec in school, It's the parents job to do this. 4 - Stop being afraid of parents. Shame these assholes when they are not doing their job and screwing up their kid, I suggest public shaming.

a bit more? a lot more affordable. I helped a friend build a 38" diameter Dob for 1/10th the price of anything else available even near that size. Being able to see individual rings of Saturn (and having enough light gathering to almost blind you from looking at Venus.) is huge The thing was so good at light gathering that you could see the horsehead nebula with your naked eye if you did not look at it directly. Most scopes require at least a 30 second exposure to even start to image it.
For large scopes Dob is your only choice unless you are filthy rich. The stereo 8" set we built was also insane.
Because they were cheap for the size. you can get an 8 inch or larger scope that will let you split the rings of Saturn for 1/2 the price of a lesser scope that still only shows you blobs.
And they are insanely easy to maintain.
RIP for the man who made decent astronomy available to the poor man.
Sorry but that doesn't work. you have to have signal strength to get signal propagation. if you are not above the noise floor your transmission goes nowhere. You cant get around physics.
When I buy an app and discover it is a steaming turd, I should be able to click to remove it and get a refund within 15 minutes. That way the parent should see the charges and then reverse them easily. Granted if the parent is too stupid to check why they are getting 30 email alerts in a row after little johnny jumped on the ipad... That's their own fault.

Logme in is a has been anyways. I stopped even using their paid service years ago after I started using TeamViewer.

They are complete scum, they love the power trip they have and they enjoy feeling that they are in control over people.
These FBI assholes faces need to be published on the internet so that people can know that they are scumbags and to be avoided at all costs.

Oh no ask for them to remove the monopoly and they scream to high hell.
ISP's are all scumbags, greedy nasty scumbags.

You use your ipad as your smartphone? That will look really silly when you answer a phone call.
That was pre scubag things like "in app purchases"
Allowing that opens the door to scumbaggery. All mobile platforms need to slam the door shut on the "in app purchase" crap.
Worthless? Quaaludes were still only $0.10 each in the 70's you could get enough to keep you baked for a solid week for 2 bucks.
Mine show up 8 seconds after in my email. how in the world are yours taking 2 days to get the purchase recipt email?

Airports, Flea markets, etc. It's brain dead easy to get a GSM prepaid and activated SIM in the usa without giving any information out.
When did George Zimmerman have that? and why did nobody talk about mister stand your ground being a computer wiz in the news?
