properly mixed audio should have dialog coming through the center speaker (assuming a surround system), so jack that up, and turn everything else down. done!:)
would you want your boss to know you're into interracial midget porn?
That's the problem, you choose your disclosure.. in your example, you tell your wife what you're downloading. you tell your friends you like this game or that.
Google/$big_data tells anyone who can pay, whatever they want you lose control over the disclosure of your personal data.
Would you want your insurance company knowing how often you buy beer/red meat? I understand that for *now* there's some safeguards in place to prevent misuse of that kind of data, but those won't last long.
the amount of mental gymnastics needed to maintain rules like that in light of a presumption of innocence is just staggering "Sure YOU'RE innocent. That's why we're putting your assets on trial, see? Oh, and you have no standing in this case. APC's aren't cheap, and it's not like the SWAT team can just hold a bake sale don't-cha-know?"
I sometimes watch 'Phinneas and Ferb' with my 3 year old, sometimes he gets bored and leaves the room.. and it's the only one of his shows that doesn't get immediately turned off when this happens.
commercial breaks are the traditional time to get a snack (probably for the product you just saw), or a beer (again, the kind they just showed you) some people see commercials as a break from tv, but really it's just reinforcement =D
1. it's absolutely shit insurance, the patient would *still* wind up growing broke. 2. by still using private insurance companies, we're creating a fucky market distortion on insurance premiums that people are now forced to pay.
Case in point, on two separate occasions i've worked for a small company that didn't offer insurance, so i paid out of pocket. first time: age 28, pre-ACA, premium was 117 out of pocket each month. 2nd time: age 33 with ACA, monthly premium: 227 each month
In both instances it was basically a "Yer gonna die if you don't go see a doctor" level of coverage. Very, very barebones, shitty insurance. In both cases it wasn't really worth having, but in the 2nd, it was not only mandated that i carry it (less i pay a bullshit tax/fee), but more expensive to boot. Anyone who thinks this is a good system has drunk too much of the kool-aid.
it's a system with good intentions (people should be insured), but poorly executed (unless you're viewing it from the perspective of an insurance company perhaps). It's a bloated, expensive mess that needs to either be scrapped completely, or fully nationalized and cut out the private insurance companies for anything but elective procedures (much like the UK and Canada)
i'd argue that if you have to sit in rush hour traffic twice a day, the infrastructure is not really that well set up. (i.e., not enough lanes for the number of commuters) subways and trains are much better people movers than buses which in turn are much better people movers than passenger cars.
Until they figure it out and succeed. it's a huge market that they haven't been able to crack, they have gobs of money and nothing really to spend it on, so why not?
i for one loved my MD player. ran basically forever on a single AA battery, reusable disks that could hold quite a lot of music (several hours, if you dialed down the quality), could do line-in recording etc.
The problem wasn't so much with the format, but with sony's fucked up software. (also the plummeting price of flash storage didn't help with adoption)
But the format itself was nice. A durable, reusable disk, with a a pretty small form factor.

i had a windows phone (80 bucks at target) wasn't a bad OS, mainly just a lack of apps and such.
not sure why it gets all the hate, it seemed at least as usable android.
(definitely miss webOS on my old palm pre though, that was great.)
i fail to see how that's better/more defensible?
this is basically the 'anti-netflix' package.
dollars to doughnuts their shitty on demand stuff is exempt from the cap.

i get where your coming from, but thanks to HDMI/DP, you can hook your laptop/tablet/whatever up to said big screen TV.
how about try to fucking make them entertaining first, and THEN worry about propagandizing (or in less overt terms, having a 'message')?
what, are you a terrorist or a CPer? Sure you can hide behind your VPN for now...
Who owns Chrysler? It's not *that* ridiculous.

Thus is the way of the SJW. Equality of outcome not opportunity is the end-game.
and that's why art schools do not turn anyone away.

yes but it would be like selling all of your organs... sure your income for the year would go up.. but how about next year's?

what about the directional channels for electrons? i hear those help with maximizing picture quality and audio fidelity.

I too do this, once i sent the producers of Jeopardy a bill for the answers i got right.
I don't think Idaho would take too kindly to a flood of Indians moving in.
