My new TV is 4K. To watch a 4K movie I would have to replace my Blue-ray player because it can't do 4K and find a movie on a 4K disk (good luck with that). My Netflix's has 4K content I watch for a few dollars more, plus I can download movies to my tablet or phone to watch later for free. To be honest very few movies are out there I would buy and watch more that a couple of times. Afterwards they collect dust. I have plenty of things that do that now.
I don't think so. Being an older person and remembering what school was like before PC and comparing it to what it is like now gives me a perspective you may not share. I would consider calling the police on a young child and kicking them out of school be cause they pointed a finger at someone, or to a six year old for kissing a classmate (they wanted to label this child a sexual predator) well beyond exaggerating the problems. These are only two of many actual outcomes from overreacting school officials. It doesn't even begin to address the overt anti-Americanism, racial hatred, and re-editing of history by our colleges. Our colleges are now spending more time teaching non-tolerance than preparing out kids for the real world and getting an actual job. And, no, I don't consider a job as a paid activist as a real job. And just for your information I worked in the labor force thirty years, paid taxes every year and that after serving in the armed forces, enlisted, not drafted. I am also a disabled veteran. Even retired I volunteer seven days a week. I earned my right to my opinions and I have no need to get over myself.
These idiots only looked at the calories for the wrapper, which was 300, without adding the rest of the items they put on it. They were suing because the meal was over 300, the only item they looked up. Any item prepared outside of a lab will very widely due to the person making the item and the batch it is made from. Personally I like mine to be on the bigger side! If dieting or content is that important to you, you should eat at home or prepare your own food. That should be a no-brainer, but looking at who we are talking about...
We are raising a whole generation of morons who think they are hurt by words and life in general. In California we have people suing a fast food place because they ate to much. We have people painting fake slogans so they can complain about it. The news organizations spending so much time writing fake news the real news gets unreported. We have brought this on ourselves for allowing our schools to teach "PC" instead of facts and terrorizing our children because the teachers think a chicken nugget was eaten to the shape of a gun or so other stupid idea that has nothing to do with teaching so mach as indoctrination of them.
I like my Keurig. As the only coffee drinker in the house one cup at at a time fits me fine. But you can use any kind of ground coffee in it if you get some of those fill yourself pods. They are cheap and you can use your specialty coffees in them. If the Keurig folks shoot themselves in the foot with DRM I'm sure some one will come out with one without it. Or a hacker will build a home model.
I don't know. One well placed bomb could solve so much of the worlds terrorist activity. If they hate the world so much you would think they would just close their borders. Instead they export and train terrorist to the rest of the world.
I liked reading the Tom Swift series when I was a kid. They had "inventions" a bit ahead of their time considering the series started written in 1910. You can still read some of them here - http://durendal.org/ts.html - for free. Check out the Electric Gun, Electric Runabout, the Photo Telephone to name a few.
Microsoft must be using the same bean counters as the Obama Admin. Play with some numbers, sprinkle with Fairy dust, make up an answer you like and present it as a real solution. This is beyond Quantum math, it's WTF Math. I just haven't figured out how to convince my banker I'm right.
Wasteland sells used clothes. They take pictures of models in those clothes. Those clothes are the creation of someone else. Did they get permission to upload and use someone else's work (the clothes) before doing so? Questions, questions, questions.
My question is "Why bother to upgrade to 4G or any other speed?". A high speed phone isn't any use if you can't use it for what it's meant for. If enough people just drop the most useful aspects of their phones (Internet) and use then for just them as phones, the shoe would be on the other foot. My phone still works with WiFi and I don't even HAVE a carrier. I find that for me a cell phone isn't viable because I only make a call or two a month. On the other hand I still can check my email and browse when in a WiFi zone like my house of a place of business that offers it, and it still works great as a media and game player.
To bad the people who are voting on this are (A) morons who don't have a clue as to what it's about and/or to busy selling out their constituents to give a crap about the implications of it all. It really is time to throw all of them out and start from scratch.
Well that explains why my search engine changed. It looks like Firefox did a drive by update over night and switched my settings. I have tried Bing, but wasn't that impressed with it. I still find Google gives me better results. And that, after all, is what counts when using a search engine.
The public should have the same right the police have (not necessarily accepted by the law enforcement community) to video and record for the same reasons the police use them in their day to day activities. Protection. And to answer the question of why it should be allowed is the same reasoning given by police when they want to search you, your car or house without a warrant. What do you have to hide? Nothing if you didn't do anything. Police are not regular people. They are PUBLIC SERVANTS. And unless there is a compelling reason not to (undercover investigation would be one) there is no good reason for them to NOT be recorded. What are they trying to hide? As a public servant they should be accountable for what they do, just like any other employee. And as an employer (that's right, I pay taxes and so I employ them) I have a right to know what they are doing on my dime. Secrets have no place in government with the exception of the armed forces for protection of the country.
This is true, but the only thing I think Microsoft does right is that you can get the service pack on CD for free from them. If you don't wait too long after it comes out. As a hopefully responsible computer repair person I try and keep these on hand for such an occasion. And yes, for those in the business that complain it is "cost prohibitive" to their business, I know this as well. I admit I work out of my house and have a much smaller overhead to cover. Just saying.

And did this allow the wire tapping of his parents and Fox employees? Taking their PHONE records? There was more to this than some emails. Of course it was OK to lie about the circumstances to the court to obtain the warrants when they knew Rosen wasn't possibly a criminal "co-conspirator" as shown by, Surprise! Surprise!, No charges filed. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/05/23/correspondents-association-concerned-government-too-aggressive-in-tracking/

I was wondering what to call that. Assuming you can with out being sued, of course.
This was pretty much a rigged game to begin with. Fox watching the hens as it were.

Fashion wasn't the issue, pictures were. Question remains, at what point does a picture end it's copy-write life?
True. It's just the O admin is in power now. Still doesn't make it right (or left depending on your point of view).

People don't pass laws, governments do. They are seldom the same.

Still got that link?
So there's an app for that?

The FEDs must be using some of that "Obama" math to make their case.
Sorry, I guess I read that wrong. It looked to me that Microsoft was using Linux and charging for it in violation of the GPL.
