If we only had a craft able to fly up there and refuel and fix/upgrade it... oh wait we DID! NASA really should have kept 1 space shuttle for just this kind of mission. Sigh. Oh well.
I still run my Windows Media Center with a cable card and a quad tuner Ceton but that POS SDV adapter has been a real pain since day 1. But as long as it keeps working I'll keep using it as really like the UI/Guide on WMC and will be super sorry to see it go when it does.
why would anyone do anything as major as a version upgrade of ANYTHING not back up first. It never fails to amaze me that people can be so careless of anything they deep important. I kind of anymore just take the stance of "serves them right".
It isn't the 90's anymore. Late 2020 is only a couple of years away.
you must have missed the important (s) it's not late 2020, it's late 2020s which means probably closer to 2030 which is still a pretty good stretch of time between now and then. Even at that timeline there is now way they could do it in 12 years as it takes them that long just to finalize drawings, let alone actually build and test it.
The problem with not having a hardware parallel port is some new and modern things still require them:( My pals new plasma cutter requires a hardware parallel port [cant' use a usb to parallel dongle] I've installed a couple laser cutters that still require them as well. Pain in the ass having to also order a PCI Express Dual Profile Parallel Adapter Card because most modern PCs not only do not have a parallel port but also don't have PCI ports.
Last I checked, Motorola wasn't selling Windows Phones.
I really like my 30 dollar Windows Phone [lumia 640 LTE]. Still going strong and I may be a minority but I prefer Windows Phone over android or ios. the app gap was/is not an issue for me because I use my phone mainly as a phone which also has a good camera AND enough apps that cover my usage needs. I'll miss it when it does eventually die. Oh I'm sure I'll be modded down in 30 seconds flat, but it's a great phone running a good os and that is good enough for me.
If making a series of false-flag terrorist attacks against your own citizens just to get elected doesn't make you a supervillain, I don't know what would.
And that one has been pretty widely proven, not just by Litvinenko but even by ordinary police, identifying the FSB as a culprit.
Thus, if doing so on own soil is "ok", you can expect anything in a rival country.
And let me guess, the earth is flat, contrails are spreading mind control agent, the moon landings were staged, am I missing anything else that nutjobs and whackos believe too?
Wasn't there a thing a while back about handset makers are required to unlock the fm radio on these things and without the wired headphones what are they going to use for an antenna now?
...except the weather, unless you're comparing to Oklahoma or something. The only thing I really miss from Texas, though, is the BBQ. Finding a BBQ place in California that knows anything about anything is a terrible chore. In Texas, you can't hardly drive after the first rain of the season without crashing into one. Hmm, the drivers are worse in Texas, too.
You forgot tacos. South texas or north mexico depending on who you ask:) has some of the best tacos north of the boarder. The closer to the border the better the taco. Best tacos I ever had was from the street vender in mexico [Reynosa/Progresso/Etc] but as an old fart I am too scared to go over the border anymore and have to setting for "nearly' as good. Which is better than anything I have had north of here and by north I mean like San Antonio/Austin/Dallas/ETC. The further north you go the less flavor and heat which is what a good taco has.
They had to say it not once but twice. This just proves that it must not only be important but that the editors don't do ANY editing. I don't even think they HAVE editors anymore here, just automated repeaters. With all this talk about AI one would think at least THAT would catch something so freaking obvious.

Living in south Texas I'd have to say no.....not by a long shot. There are like 3 pickups for ever 1 SUV and 3 SUVs for every car on the road. And like 1/4 of the car are Mustangs. sigh.
Us older peeps remember that. MANY of us have parents, grand parents, etc that come from other countries. But I guess it's ok as long as you're white:( Legal immigration IS what made our nation great. No mater what the color of ones skin or beliefs. It's a sad day when that is forgotten.
not a throw away email at all and back when I initially signed up to this site [as thequestor] but lost my info so many years ago I forgot so a few years later I tried to recover it I gave up and made my handle "theREALquestor". I use this nick [thequestor] on maybe 100 or so different sites/forums/whatever and a simple google of "thequestor" returns almost 7000 hits and nearly all of them are me so I am not exactly hiding behind anything. Back when I signed up the 1st time and then years later as TheReal [only used on here because someone it seems took over my original login] so no sir I am NOT hiding at all. Google me or look at my profile. My real name is there [well my 1st name anyway as there are limits of how much info I wanted to give back then] but my real email address is there and if you send me an email via it I will get it and respond lol. I have both balls in the water here unlike you AC basement dwellers,
I really liked Enterprise. Or at least what it could have been. My only issue was casting Scott Bakula as his acting style has almost always rubbed me the wrong way. I like him in Quantum Leap but have not liked him since. The other chars were not so bad though, The dog was AWESOME and probably the 2nd best cast member after Connor Trinneer as Tucker,
I damn near modded you to -1 just for whining about it. 2 things to consider. Maybe your posts DO suck and only YOU think they are "worthy" of our time to read them, Not saying they are not or are but because you seem to only want to post anony then all bets are off since I admit I do tend to mod peeps who hide behind anon. You want a little respect then earn it. I get modded down all the time, doesn't bother me one little bit. I "prefer" to get modded up, but hey life is short. One thing I try NEVER to do is hide behind anony unless I already modded. Grow a pair and [or at least 1] and start standing up and owning your posts by actually post with your dick hanging out and a username for all to see.
Diamonds AREN'T that rare which is why resale is so bad on them. The only reason we think they are rare is because De Beers Consolidated Mines, Ltd wants us to BELIEVE they are.
While personally I am against alcohol being any more legal or illegal than any other drug and do feel Marry Jane should not be a way to fill our privatized penal system [as in jail for profit] not to mention removing a stigma surrounding it's use [and abuse] plus the added benifit of HUGE tax income for the state/government [if they ever pull their collective heads out of their asses and legalize it here in the US] I am kind of at odds with jailing someone over a ticket with foreign plates, the problem here is how then do we make a reasonable assumption that the person getting the ticket will actually either pay or show up to court for said ticket if all they have to do so go home and say fuck it.
That still is no reason to put somebody in jail. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with your legal system. At this moment it feels as if you have a better chance with mob justice in the US. Sure, a few innocent people would be found guilty, but less than what is going on now.
That it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer, is a Maxim that has been long and generally approved,

So not only are you a armchair analyst, you can also foresee the future. Man that must be a terrible burden to carry.
It's odd that we [the us] do it to them and it's ok, but fuck them if they do the same thing to us. God I hate politics and politicians.
