  1. Please stop confusing me with fancy math and facts.

  2. Daughter, not wife...

  3. Wolverines!!!

  4. Had nothing to do with the protest. They were long past before this happened.

  5. I have a 2013 Explorer and the MyFord Sync works great. It's connected to my phone as soon as I'm ready to leave. When I remote start it, it links by the time I get into the car. I remember reading about all the problems but mine has been fine. I find it strange that some are problematic and some aren't.

  6. Wyld Stallions!

    Because you still have to provide your own gas, car payment, maintenance, and insurance. That adds up really fast to your take home. Especially as gas rises again.

    OK I read that title wrong. Must be the migraine? New Bipolar Robot Demoted by Google X Company

    Yeah $1700 is a lot for a drug dealer wanting to know the cops are coming for him.

  11. News for Nerds? I speculate No! on Teacher Cannot Be Sued For Denying Creationism · · Score: 1

    News for nerds? No. More like news to see how many flaming posts they can get. Where is the flaimbait button for the OP.

    Am I the only one that read penisless? I mean the hookers and all; in the end they could fall off.

    But it wasn't pirated. The authors put a fake one on the pirate site. So its still useless.

    And you expected anything different from the NYT? That's like expecting FOX to come out in full support of anyone on the other side.

    The spec is 4 times the cable radius. So about 1" Sorry but all those manufactures have more than 1" bend area in their cable management arms.

    Thing is, CSR jobs have more turnover than McDonalds. You can get their name, ID, or extension number, but they probably won't be there in 6 months when your next problem occurs.

  19. Re:Outdated? on California To Move To Online Textbooks · · Score: 1

    Alas history books have changed. We edit out the parts that might offend people. Mustn't hurt anyone's feelings etc... My kids haven't had a text book in 4 years. They get handouts of 4-7 pages a week and do their homework from that. This is just making those handouts accessible from home which is nice. Saves gas for the buss since the 100+ students wont be carrying the 65 pounds of books each.

    Another benefit. Makes it WAY easier to revise history when those pesky dead tree additions say otherwise.

  22. The original idea of eBay is gone on eBay To Disallow Checks and Money Orders In US · · Score: 3, Interesting

    eBay has been going this route for a while. I don't see them backing down. I am in agreement that Craigslist is filling the void that eBay used to fill very well. Now it's just a bunch of 'PowerSellers' reselling product they don't even have. It was a nice flea market while it lasted, but they got big $$$ in their eyes and got greedy.

    For example, I sold an item for $150, final value fee was $12.35 and paypal took another $4.82. That's a good chunk of the sale when you are the one designing the auction page and putting the items up for sale. All in hope that the buyer isn't going to rip you off by reversing the charges after pretending they never got the item and you can't leave them negative feedback anymore.

    There is a need for a new auction site to open that is like eBay used to be.

    I'm sure flying on other planets is handled much better.

  25. Re:Qualifications on TSA To Allow Laptops In Approved Bags · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure metal in this sentence is all encompassing of the snaps, zippers, or buckles. There are plastic clips and elastic straps that can secure the laptop in the opened bag. Most laptop bags I have seen don't use metal zippers, metal snaps, or metal buckles in the laptop area of the bag.

    And to get to the point, metal obscures the image and this is why its not allowed in the 'laptop area' of the bag.
