Geez, here comes a "Me too!" post. Portable internet communication and texting is more important to me these days than actual phone conversations, so, yeah, while I don't "need" a smartphone, I certainly use the hell out of the one I have for all the things a dumbphone won't do.
Plus I got it for very cheap and signed a rather decent contract thanks to the retention department, so I get way more potential out of a slight increase in my monthly bill. I don't have a land line anymore, so what's not to love?
Bell is not cable. TekSavvy DSL is still giving money to Bell. TekSavvy cable is giving money to Rogers. They win unless you cut it all. WIND might still be its own entity, though.
So what the fuck do you expect TSI to do, start running their own phone & cable lines?
"Screamers" was pretty decent as far as PKD movies go, though the FX look a bit dated (as early CGI is wont to do). Worth a rental, IMO. "Adjustment Bureau" captured the paranoia vibe of a PKD story very well.
Two weeks later, the F.B.I. showed up, having tracked “SkillyGilly” through computer footprints. Mr. Sanchez said he explained what had happened. “Talk to the Korean,” he said he told them. “You keep following leads and you’ll get to a warehouse.” But when the F.B.I. asked if he could identify the peddler, he said no.
Biggest problem I see is the (a) 2 dipshits who are behind the stop line turning left after the red, thereby (b) blocking the advance left turns on the cross street, which leads back to (a) again, etc. Turn the cameras on and ticket those assholes first!
Yep, stick to the better quality drives, get better warranties.
Reminds me of cell providers all charging out the wazoo for text messages, because one did it first so the rest have to follow immediately because they can now get away with it.
You've never seen private/catholic school girls tease each other over who looks better in their uniforms, huh? Any alleged money saved on uniforms gets spent on accessories and more expensive after-school clothing.
I'd be fine with this. The burger you get at the counter doesn't look anything like the ones in the ads or on the poster in the store, clearly misleading. Whether a *law* needs to be added into the mix is a whole other matter, and one I'd rather not see enacted.
Other thing: some strip club owner was tired of being robbed so he bought a robbery-level safe (most safes you see are rated for fires and junk and they only happen to be helpful at stopping the common thief) from the same company who made the ones under the Pentagon (sadly, that company is no longer in business, fyi) with a sign over top that said "NEVER AGAIN!" The kid hears about this and decides that the owner can't get away with that. When my dad and partner picked him up he had a plasma cutter, one of the few things that could break into that quality of safe. BTW, if anyone has any bright idea about the Pentagon and plasma cutters, the level safe they have is probably the model that has poison embedded in it that is released when the metal is breached.
Smells like high-level bullshit. The first half I could probably buy, but poison-embedded safes from a just-so-happens-to-be defunct company that built safes under the Pentagon?! Sure, pal, suuure.

There are a lot of more complex cases. Consider nissan.com, where you can go and read all about the lawsuit.
You mean nissan.com, with 2 S, not 3?

Nope, "Star Wars" is still a trilogy, 1977, 1980, 1983.
"The Matrix" on the other hand was a great standalone film. I'm glad they didn't ruin the mystique with any unnecessary sequels.

Better get working on your ground-up homebrew tablet OS in that case.
I drain my crankcase every weekend and replace the oil to try out different brands. Doesn't everyone?
Sirius Cybernetics has an open job position for you...

If you're paying attention and following at a safe distance, why are you slamming on your brakes and hitting anything?
Wait: you're asking if pigs fly?
Go (get a) pound (of) sand?
Sorta OT, but there was an interesting article recently on the price of hogs and when McDonalds brings back the McRib, the price has to be within a certain range or they won't do it: http://www.theawl.com/2011/11/a-conspiracy-of-hogs-the-mcrib-as-arbitrage
You forgot the previous sentence, which is all the more important.

Apple this, Apple that. It's a goddamn Samsung factory.
Deffo counts as "news for nerds" ;)

Until he got cancer. Sorry anyone gets cancer, but I wonder if he "found god" before he passed away. For his sake, I hope he made peace with god.
Why would he "make peace" with something he didn't believe in? On top of that, which god do you mean?
It's how smart quotes are converted, happens all the time. When in doubt, convert everything to plain ol' ASCII. :)
