Tell me you're joking. Virtually every non-mainstream site advertises porn or adult content. You'd have to walk a very narrow path along the web to not accidentally bump into some porn. AdBblock Plus filters most of this for me (fortunately, otherwise I'd be wanking it way more often, or at least wasting time checking out the ads instead of completing the task at hand -- no pun intended), but it's not perfect, and many sites actively seek to avoid the blocking filters.
We have horrific crashes around here on a regular basis because someone comes through the green light and hits someone who was running the tail end of a previous green that is now red.
In most states, the liability would be with the person who didn't slow down to avoid the car that was turning left. Regardless of the law, the person traveling straight had the chance to avoid the accident by paying proper attention as they were approaching the intersection. You don't pull into a parking spot assuming that the car parked there will magically disappear, and assuming that another car will be gone by the time you reach their position on the road is equally stupid. Assumption, as they say, is the mother of all fuck ups.
Wow, are you really arguing about the knowledge of a fictional character? In that case, my imaginary friend told me he talked to Dr. Bishop, and found his grasp of physiological processes to be limited, at best.
For Christ sake.. warmth is not a property of sound unless you're putting your finger over an ultrasonic emitter. And tone = pitch = frequency. The tone of a recording doesn't change unless you're playing it back at a different speed than the sampling frequency.
I'll give you 50 bucks if you can hear 20kHz, let alone 22kHz. And few songs even make use of the frequency range above 10kHz. For reference, Mariah Carey's annoying screech of F7# is about 3kHz. A C8, the highest note on a standard piano, is just over 4.1kHz, and C9, an octave higher, is around 8.2kHz.
When it airs in absolute time isn't as important, but that it airs on a consistent schedule still is. Moving shows around can (and frequently does, in my experience) cause conflicts with existing recorder schedules. It only makes things worse that different networks seem to pit their best shows against each other, so you get all of the good shows on one day (both of them) and nothing else worth watching the rest of the week. The only thing that helps in most cases is that shows on the cable networks air 2-3 times on the day of their premier, so if they conflict with a show on primetime, they'll be on again after hours.
..is horrible, and should die anyway. It's nonsense masquerading as science fiction, with terrible acting to boot. If you're going to make a show where "technology" is the central theme, then that technology should at least be plausible or informed speculation, otherwise it's fantasy. Fantasy is fine, but don't pretend it's science.
The Terminator movies were action flicks with a futuristic background. They had elements of sci-fi, but they were primarily shoot-em-ups. The show doesn't know what it is, other than not great.
Nothing (perceptible) need be lost in digital recordings, unless the compression is too high. It *is* too high for many broadcast TV shows, such that rapidly changing scenes will exhibit clearly visible blocking, but that's an argument against overcompression, not digital recording in general.
Yeah.. there's nothing more fun than taking something enjoyable and pointing out all the flaws until you can't stand it anymore. Hey, if you're not busy later, maybe you could come over and criticize my wife too.
This is a common tactic. Most creditors will always request ALL of their money, right up until you file for bankruptcy, which unless you're a low-earner and qualify for Chapter 11, means they will still get SOME of their money, so they really have nothing to lose by demanding everything. I realize Iceland has their own laws, but someone at MS presumably reviewed them and determined there was little to no value in accepting partial payment at this point.
No, it's more like your wife won't put out, and indicates she has no intention of ever putting out again, but she'll be happy to spend your paycheck and put you deep into debt while she bangs the pool boy.
Sounds like it was more of a problem trying to max out your card. And as you mention, it's a Chase card, not Amazon. There's well more than enough to dislike about that card -- low limit*, high interest**, random changes in due date, crappy http/https hybrid site login -- but the fact that you couldn't charge to the last dollar on your account is hardly one of them. Next time leave a buffer.
* Low limit is pants because carrying a balance over 35% is a hit on your credit, and small purchases shouldn't be put on credit anyway. (Arguably ANY purchases, but small ones especially because they encourage a habit of "charging it.") ** Oh, and they WILL cap it out at 29.99% if you're even 1 day late. Caveat emptor.
I never really understood the idea that someone could hear a pocket radio better than the booming sound from a movie theater. And if they've actually got such a device, aren't they just damaging what's left of their hearing?
The only idiot in that scenario is the person who expected people to give him "personal space" at the expense of taking a worse seat. I don't really give two shits about such expectations, because they're just a fantasy. I bathe, I hold my farts in, and I don't talk during a movie, and by God if the choice is between me craning my neck in the front row, or walking in front of you to get to a decent seat, I'm walking in front of you. And if you have one open seat on either side of you and I'm with someone else, I'll ask you to move down as well, because if you weren't an asshat, you would've volunteered to scoot over in the first place.
Freud believed the obsessive compulsion for order originated in the toilet training phase. Parents who scolded their child for making a mess would, literally, cause the child to become anal-retentive.
Another fun fact: If parents are too strict or begin toilet training too early, Freud believed that an anal-retentive personality develops in which the individual is stringent, orderly, rigid, and obsessive.

You must live in a different Denver than I do. Otherwise, I hope you've got a license for that stuff you're smoking.

Sometimes it pays to read beyond the first sentence.

The fringe of a carpet is still part of the carpet. The stuff depicted in the show is no parts science.

Yeah, the world would be such a happy fucking place without corporations. They ruined everything.

Look, I like banging SUV-driving soccer moms as much of the next guy. If that makes me a hypocrite, so be it.
I'd take the small ship with the hooker on it.
Yeah, more WoW.. that's just what we need.
