Is that Dirk did seem to come around, because Katie Sackoff's character was one of the few decent ones in the whole BSG reboot.
I love the photo of Dirk and Katie smoking cigars in a Starbucks coffee shop. (Kudos to the manager who was smart enough to bend the rules and say, for this....we'll allow smoking.)
Seriously, would you rather we wage economic sabotage against AT&T cell towers. It's like Cable TV. I have Comcast, and no other available options. They're not going to change unless enough people wine and complain. And guess what...

Have probably complained to our congressmen, the FTC, the FCC, etc.
When these contracts were signed. They were signed for Unlimited 3G service. And that is what I expect. If there is a good signal in an uncongested area, I should receive 3G quality service. I should NOT be throttled down to 60K.
When many of us signed up for unlimited. We signed up for UNLIMITED 3G speeds. Anything below that due to throttle is in fact a breach of contract. They can throttle the 4G, but the 3G should NOT be throttled.
I should always get my approx. 1mbps service in an uncongested area. I should NOT be reduced to 60K.
I've have driven many vehicles. And even when specifically trying to game, (ie: low acceleration, speed limit, etc, etc) it can often be very difficult to achieve the stated numbers. That said, one of the other main reasons is that America's highway system is so poorly designed and engineered that many times, we are spending 40 minutes to move 3 exits.
It's a misnomer that CFLs last longer than incandescents. Their potential lifespan is far greater, however, that is only in continuous use. CFLs lives are greatly shortened by intermittent use, incandescents do this much better.
So if you have a closet, bathroom, etc, that you turn on a couple of times a day for a minute or so, the CFL may burn out much earlier than an incandescent. However, if you have a light that you leave on for long periods of time. CFLs have a very long life. For example, I keep a 60 watt CFL on in my basement continously. That bulb is probably 3-4 years old now. But it is NEVER turned on/off.
Recommendation, see if you can find a socket splitter. Since the Feit 40 watt bulbs are 500 lumens @ 8 watts. If you can find a socket splitter you can put "two" 40 watt Feit and hit 1,000 lumens and be at a meager 16 watts.
Or if your fixture will fit it, these are a 100 watt replacement at 1,000 lumens, for a whopping 17 watts.
I paid $9.99 for 3 bulbs. That's $3.33. And the brand to get is Feit. I've tried a couple others, and the quality was crap. I haven't tried any other brands for quality, because all the others are priced 2x-3x what Costco's Feit bulbs run.
Agreed, CFLs were about 70% the brightness. Many of the LEDS are outputting the same lumens as incandescents. That was a big marketing scam where the CFLs were allowed to use the low end of incandescent ratings for watts to help push them.
It looked great reading only 7.5 watts for a 40 watt bulb. But 12 watts for a 40 watt bulb while still good, wasn't quite as impressive.
I thought there was an update to Space War where the missiles were affected by gravity. I recall firing a stream of missiles, than having to accelerate out of the way of my own missiles. And if you over-accelerated you'd fly through the stream of your own missiles.

BEWARE!!!!
"Climate Stasis"....
It's Global Warming's fault!
Best Buy price matches Amazon.com, just like Walmart.
But the policy is to price match items sold from and BY Amazon.com. So stores hosted by Amazon are NOT supposed to be price-matched.
Should be a Chevy Camaro. Black or Midnight blue. And I'll go with your blue scannar.

Look at every photo. The screen sticks out far beyond the man's wrist - extremely uncomfortable.
T-Mobile specifically advertises unlimited 3G, capped 4G.

I'd be happy with a just getting unlimited 3G performance, and having the tethering ban lifted.
When these contracts were signed. They were signed for Unlimited 3G service. And that is what I expect. If there is a good signal in an uncongested area, I should receive 3G quality service. I should NOT be throttled down to 60K.

I've NEVER received the text, though I've been throttled.
When you can't stream a youtube video. That's no longer unlimited.
Frankly, I feel that they should be akin to T-Mobile. Throttle the 4G down to 3G speeds.
It's easier enough to get into a standard auto keylock. People get the key cut books, and cut their own keys. No different.
I disagree....

Likely means they miscalculated all the past prediction models as well. It works BOTH ways. It's called an "equation".
I thought I read that the HTC One (M8) does NOT have a removable battery. I was going to get it until I saw that fact.
No, not really serious....
But theoretically, it would be very capable theory that would essentially explain ALL of our present climatic changes.
I bought those....they were crappy. The light was poor, not uniform. Returned them all and bought more of the Feit from Costco.
No coating. Best bulbs I've ever owned.

They are 40 watts, but in brightness are much more comparable to a 60 watt bulb.
