  1. Moved to the south..... on Pennsylvania To Apply 6% 'Netflix Tax' (allflicks.net) · · Score: 0

    years ago.... No alcohol in groceries, beer distributors, taxes eclipsed only by New York. Intrusive laws. Cold weather. Terrible roads. Taking years to move the most rural interstate to 70mph. Moved away in the 1980s. Never looked back.

  2. Words mean things..... on No Such Thing As 'Unlimited' Data (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    To quote a radio personality I stopped listening to years ago: "Words Mean Things". You can't say unlimited and in the same breath say (Up to n GB) Unlimited means Unlimited. No caps, no slow-down. The ISPs need to stop using that word if they don't mean it. I'm surprised the FTC is letting them get away with using that word. Whatever happened to truth in advertising. Worse yet, the limits they do impose is usually in the squint-o-vision font.

  3. Re:Neat on Reinventing the Axe · · Score: 1

    I gotta call bullshit on this vid. As previous posters noted, that wood was the kind I dreamed of splitting. I usually got stuck with Locust, or Cherry. We used a sledge and wedges on the big and hard stuff and on the easy stuff, a double-edged axe would do the job just as easy as what I saw here. My brother shared in my misery in this area and I love CC'ing things like this with him, but this one doesn't pass the test.

  4. Bear in mind.... on Under Revised Quake Estimates, Dozens of Nuclear Reactors Face Problems · · Score: 1

    The damage to the Fukishima reactors weren't directly the result of the earthquake, but the tidal wave that followed. Then again, I question building reactors on the eastern seaboard of Japan in a region called "The rim of fire".

  5. Par for those folks... on New Jersey Auto Dealers Don't Want to Face Tesla · · Score: 1

    No kidding. I wouldn't expect anything different from the northern states I fled. This is the same system that can't get rid of the beer distributor system in PA that benefits no-one but their membership. Hope they all sink!
