  1. Re:Sounds like fun! on 50th Anniversary of the Starfish Prime Nuclear Weapon Test Today · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the link, I did not know that.

    The most scary part was intended uses. They figured it could be used for fracking natural gas & wanted to blast the p-canal wider, & a new e-w passage. Can you imagine what panama might have had to say about that?

    And of course fracking caused radioactive gas that was worthless, & we still haven't learned that lesson.

    Sigh... BTW nice name, Good to see other mush heads around friend.

    That is actually not uncommon from the previous generation. My wife was told the same by her grandmother, and to this day always makes sure there is a penny or some change in a gift wallet, handbag, purse, or piggy bank.

  3. Re:ReplayTV on Dish Network Announces Prime Time TV With No Ads · · Score: 1

    Ehh ....I was a die hard first gen replay fan boy. Threw both boxes away after stripping for parts, when they stopped service.

    I wouldnt have thought i would say this but Honestly I glad I left. Just the fact that they were thinking of shutting down while still having loads of dedicated customers and revenue sold as lifetime subscriptions to me ment it was the end, and even though the box was great the third (4th?) company had gone to shit and decided to screw its customers. the dvr I use now while missing a few features has more then it is missing, loads more space, good ui software, no lock ups every month, and HD. Not to mention I'm no longer tied to that damn IR blaster setup that used to piss me off too no end.

    I was sad originally but now, ehh Good riddance.

    Were are you living: The government (supremes) have already ruled that the fed can stop an individual from growing grain, on their own land with for their own use, through the interstate commerce clause. Then is federal laws didn't apply I suppose the CA dispensary busts didn't happen & federal pot laws trump don't trump state.

  9. Re:Injustice on How To Crash the US Justice System: Demand a Trial · · Score: 2

    It's worse then that. The local DA's also use this to cover the PD's ass when the police do dumb things when they arrest people. After what can be described as a 3AM home invasion by the police for the wrong apartment, being beaten in cuffs with bones in my head broken. I was given the choice:

    1) Fight and possibly face 7 years for multiple trumped up charges centered around a wrongful entry by the police, with little to no money for a lawyer.

    or

    2) Take the court offered PTI (pre-trial intervention) which is for first time "offenders" & offers time served with no criminal record & only court appointed classes for a year.

    Of course I took the PTI, not realizing that even non admittance of guilt completely removes you of pursuing a case against the city. So I didn't do time for something I didn't do, and the cop got an accommodation a few months later for his service to the community.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomass_gasification

    There was just recently a show that talked about this, which were common back in the day. They used to be used on tractors & old auto mobiles. By burning wood ( or anything combustible) they can produce a diesel alternative.

    I can't be more specific because I'm not really knowledgable of how it works, other then the "no shit you can do that" moment watching the host on the tv run a generator from burnt trash / wood.

    Yeah that's a good summary, and what I took from the article. Even as a sympathetic reader (business geek owns 2nd gen iPhone) this makes me reconsider any more business with apple.
        I already had decided to use the phone until it died because of the previous bad press about the factory sucides, but My folks were recommending apple as a stock. I'm sorry but I just can't invest for profit with no consideration for ethics.

  20. Re:Spaniard accent !!!?? on Anonymous Takes On a Mexican Drug Cartel · · Score: 1

    Not sure why that matters. If the individual is typing using Espinosa Spanish then the text to speech will sound like a Spaniard. The changes in pitch found in spoken accents are of course mostly removed, but use of specific words or expressions in Spanish or really any language will give away information of the person behind the desk. Same for use of colloquial Mexican slang. They obviously have traveled to Mexico or have Mexican friends.

    Back under your bridge. First off the word is "exonerates" not excoriates

    Secondly there is no exoneration for police brutality, take if from someone drug from their house and beat while IN handcuffs until he had broken bones that hold my eyeball in place. All because the fridge NEXT door had rotten food in it and I wouldn't let them in MY house at 2 am without a warrant.

    I agree.

    I have a Iphone v. 2 wife has a Samsung galaxy as well. Once you get over the size of the thing it's very nice. The OS eye candy is very cool & the apps as expected. Long term I don't know how stable it is because I'm not a regular user of her phone, but my wife has yet to complain. Personally I'm about sick of all the browser crashes, lockups, Apple glitches & work arounds needed to make my phone "just work".

    Oh and ditto for the Ipad. We got ours as a give away, and it useful & has some fun apps, but just is not ready for the mainstream If we were to buy a new tablet I'd defiantly want to consider the Samsung.

    On the other hand our Samsung tv still bows me away! /rant
