That is why I welcome this change. Yeah, I lose my ability to handle the car, but it keeps the people that shouldn't be driving from crashing their car into me. I will look forward to the day where I can take a nap on the way to work in my car.
Cars with 7 speed manuals would be best for the masses because the constant shifting would make it difficult to hold the newspaper in place on the steering wheel
It would also be great, because a lot of people would not be able to drive a manual. Thus the roads would be a lot less crowded. No more teens twittering their friends as they slam their car into a tree. Talking on a cell phone would be a chore in stop and go traffic unless using a hands-free device.
Yeah, I can agree with that. I have "unlimited data" on AT&T, but I would probably get throttled if I used more than my 2GB share. I'd be alright with the $40 if it was truly unlimited, and additional handets were no more than $10 on the plan.
A cable subscriber sees the end of the super bowl ~5 seconds earlier than a Satellite subscriber (That's all I got). DirecTV works just fine at my house.
For internet surfing if it was faster and cheaper would be fine, it's the VOIP and online gaming that have a problem with Satellite.
When I was addicted to the stuff, I tried to cut down on the shakes with the decaf stuff. The Mt. Dew Caffeine Free is a horrible drink. Thankfully, I am off Mt. Dew and any soda products now. When I am traveling I may have an occasional Coke or Pepsi, but I haven't had a Mt. Dew since before the spinoffs starting coming out (Mt. Dew White, Mt. Dew Red).
And no I was not then or now obese. I'm not exactly Mr. Fitness either.
Look at any laptop you would want. Then checkout that manufacturers support website and see if they have all compatible drivers for Windows 7. Paying attention to the manufacturer's hardware, such as the Fn key software (for brightness and volume control). If they don't provide your basic drivers for Windows 7 (ie Video, motherboard chipset, wifi, BT, display), look for another laptop and possibly another manufacturer. Surprisingly, my work HP laptop they bought over three years ago (whenever Vista first came out), supports not only XP, Vista, and 7, but also Windows 8. My IT dept had downgraded the Vista that came with it to XP. I upgraded it to 7 not too long ago and it runs great.
...legalization of marijuana would result in prices dropping down to that of tobacco. How much of a problem is it now for people to steal from others just to buy a pack of ciggies?
Well, to be fair...the price of cigarettes are already becoming more expensive than marijuana with all the taxes.:)
The only people that should be against this is the Cartels and the ATF.
and Border Patrol, the Tobacco Industry, the Alcoholic Beverage Industry. Definetly, will help the junk food companies. Doritos and Taco Bell will make a killing.
Sure, Ron Paul wants you to be able to buy drugs on the street or in walmart - as long as you pay taxes on them. Don't let the slashdot paullowers tell you differently, their interest is in getting you to pay more taxes so they can pay less.
And what's wrong with that? We quit spending money on this pointless "War on Drugs", and start making money off the Rastafarians. And we might finally have space in our jail system for "Real" criminals. The only people that should be against this is the Cartels and the ATF.
They discussed this on Top Gear. They decided that the best electric car was a bumper car. Because it would have a long pole attached to the car. When an accident happened ahead of you in traffic, they could just turn off the power grid and all cars would come safely to a stop. And if they had the bumpers accidents would be less severe.
Downtown Seattle already use the power grid for their buses. Has anyone there tried to modify their Chevy Volt to run on this? I think they would get quite the stares from passerby.
What is it still the 90's. I haven't used a VGA cable, for personal uses, for a few years now. Not even sure if my TV even has a VGA port. Do people use these device for Media PC's? I can't imagine they can run 720p content let alone 1080p.
My apologies for sounding like I am a troll, but I just don't see any use for these devices.
Seems kinda weird that a Star Wars game even has heterosexual romance in it, let alone homosexual/bisexual. Weren't the movies supposed to be for kids? Why is any of this involved in the game? And now with Disney buying up the Star Wars universe, how long until all of this stuff gets removed anyway?
Come on, you can still eat healthy when you're poor. You definetly still can exercise if you're homeless without two pennies to rub together. It is personal choice and motivation that are key to healthier living.
Actually, it probably has more to do with the age of the victims than any other reason. It shouldn't matter what age the victim of a mass shooting is, but it does in this sense.
Aren't we also the fattest country? Couldn't this be the reason? Although, smokers are declining in the US that could also be another cause. We used to really smoke that tobacco before the current century. We also tend to eat more red meat than our europeans friends.
Funny thing is PETA will tell the mediots where and when they will be picketing. So, after the media packs up and leaves, PETA hangs up the signs and go's home. They do not picket for a full day. They picket for the hour or two the news cameras are pointed at them.
What kind of help do you get for a lazy, mooching bastard? Therapy? I think tossing him out on his ass would be a lot cheaper. If he wants to get a job and save up for a place, I would have no problem (if he was my son) letting him stay with me. The job comes first. He has obviously overstayed his welcome (5 years after HS).
Going to the local college you could live at home. Yes, there are some colleges that make freshmen stay on campus. Of course, you can not join the military and stay home. There was the other option I neglected, but it was essentially GTFO after 1 year : Get a job, save up money, and GTFO as soon as possible.

So, Canada's telecom is as messed up and greedy as here in the US, good to know.
And Facetime\Video Chat of course has problems with Satty.

Can we get a siesta to, while we're at it? Nothing like the two hour long lunch break.

....what about slow-burning classics that you have to 'get into'?
Why would you pay for the classics? Go to Project Guttenberg and download at will for free.

Not to mention some of the more modern rule changes. No more Hangman tackles, No horse collar tackles, Blows to the head, etc.
Not to mention Dexter Manley who couldn't even read after four years of college.
Yeah, It was only after he went all Hannibal Lecter on Holyfield and beat the crap out of his wife that the Tyson hate was in full force.
