They already hit that point. My wife and I have not seen a movie at the theater for 2 years now. This year threare several that I want to see, but I am unwilling to pay $30.00 to see them. So I wait for the Bluray and watch it at home in my theater (Yes only 96" screen).. The theater experience is not worth it. Yay, some lady sitting behind me talking to the screen, crying kid in the front row, from the parent that brought a 6 year old to a R movie, to having the idiots that use their cellphones.
Yeah, the "theater experience" is sub par to a low end home theater at home. I have less than $6500 in mine and it blows out of the water any movie theater on this planet.
Yes and no. 60fps looks fantastic if shot cinematic. The Garbage TV's that do 120 and 240Fps by faking it is what makes it all look wierd and odd. I hate the crap tv's that do that. They even ruin movies that were shot correctly at high FPS.
Why cant they skimp more and make it a feature. use 6 AA batteries. LET the buyer go out and get his own batteries. That way it adds a significant amount of useful to the thing. Plus all the survivalist nuts would be all over it.
Not a chance those are better protection than plywood. they are thin aluminum and after a storm will need replacing. Plus the tiny hinges will not keep them on the house in case of a hurricane.
A flying branch will bounce off a 3/4" 7 ply plywood board, it will rip through this thin sheet aluminum vacation home shutter.
Why? if you are doing your job, just run a full backup to tapes and take those along with the portable tape drive.
Grab the drives? Yeah that will end in sadness. unless you have them numbered right and built a server to accept them the RAID will not rebuild properly and cleanly and will pretty much destroy all the data.
you offline the server, make a complete backup and if you have time, make a second one. All done. no worries.
If you had really been doing your job, you will have another copy already offsite. And the guys that did their job perfectly already have a backup server offsite that have a clean mirror of the data on it already. Unless he works for a company that does not value it's data and will not spend money on a real backup plan.
The local fire warden liked my answer when he asked us what would we do in case of a fire.
I mentioned that I would, because I am on the first floor, take a chair and throw it through the window in the glass wall to make a 3rd emergency exit.
He really liked that answer and mentioned that they have found people dead near windows. Dont be afraid to "hulk smash" your way out of a building.
Unfortunately not. Storm shutters are expensive, and house contractors build houses as crappy as possible now days. Second they are not "trendy" so people dont want them.
If a house was built with real brick and real wood, storm shutters would be perfect. Vynal siding and the faux brickwork over foam board that houses are built out of today can barely handle a 90mph wind.
Cripes, my carry on bag holds a 18.5 laptop, ipad and DSLR. and if you fly more than once every 2 months, you get a free checked bag with most of the programs out there, I have not paid for a checked bag on delta for years. and I have never been charged for a carry on bag.
I have yet to find an airline that weighs my carry on and chargers me based on it's weight. In addition to that, I have yet to find any tiny projector that has a resolution over 800X600. Any ultrabook made is lighter than any combo out there that would be useable.
If you want an advanced education there is plenty of free resources on the internet and in libraries to get a PHD level of education. People want a "degree" to wave it around. If you are interested in education, a degree is not important to you, You will seek out the education and consume it without the sillyness of a piece of paper.
Well i have proof that the general population is far stupider now than 500 years ago. But the rate of stupid started growing exponentially in 1992.
Today we have masses of drooling morons that cant even figure out how to add water to a radiator if their car was overheating, cant understand that it's bad to not look out the window of the car while driving, and has elected or supports a band of utterly evil people that want to roll back civil rights to the early 1950's.

Why would you watch only 109 movies? and then throw it away? I can get thousands of movies out of it.
Well the moron survivalists think a Big 4X4 and guns = survival... Yet not one of them know how to dig a proper privy or how to farm land.

Stop sitting 400 feet from the screen. If you dont sit so close that the screen fills your FOV, you are not doing it right.
The back row is for kids to take acid and drink booze, not for watching a movie.

Just show them your mutant card at the ticket office to get your discount :-)

The executive in charge of that DR plan should have been fired.

getting the phone system KSU off the wall will be harder, and that piece is more expensive than the phones on the desks.
Yup.

1280X720 native resolution. and they work for 3d so they can double duty as entertainment.
It get's 10+ hours of battery life? My macbook air can easily go over 10 hours of use.

You spelled republican wrong.
BIG disagree.
Medical advances allow the Genetically defective to continue to survive and reproduce. Just 100 years ago this would not have happened.
Just wait to see how fucked up as a species will will be in 500 years.

Civil infraction 27-5 against county Code 54.2.1 Hiding your pot in a fake mouse is a mistreatment in this county.
$350.00 fine or 2 days in jail.
There is your citation, you can pay it at the county clerks office.
If it's not accredited. You might as well buy a master degree from on of the other fake uni's online. They sell Masters degrees for less than $100.
BRAWNDO! IT has the Electrolytes you Crave!
My daughters school had a choice of energy drink as well. Monster in a smaller soda can. I was disgusted.
