We've got a great indy station in Lexington, WRFL, that recently increased their power but had to shape their signal so as to not step on the toes of the local religious stations who rule the airwaves down here. As a result, even though I'm only 30 miles away and could normally get their signal, I cannot because it's being blocked for the fundys. Radio here is all but dead.
Indeed. I built a new Haswell based machine a couple years back for gaming and it still has more power than I need. I don't see myself building another any time in the foreseeable future.
Dumpster diving. Man, I used to get the coolest hardware from the old school computer stores back in the late 80s and 90s. The stuff they threw away still amazes me.
Last movie we went to see was Interstellar, because we wanted the IMAX experience (saw it while on vacation at PCB last year). Otherwise, we prefer to watch them in the comfort of our own home. Plus, the food's better and the beer is colder.
If I have to take the time to purchase a USB drive, locate a store, travel there and wait for them to load the OS onto the drive then it's no longer free. LOL. No thanks.
Used to work in software dev for Lexmark and man, they couldn't bring 'em in fast enough. I swear the ink was still wet on some of those 'visas' while our teams were being escorted out the door.

Beware of dragons. For you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
I mean, politicians have been transplanting their heads up their own asses for decades.

This thread is just screaming for a Bill Gates/Borg avatar.

I think I'll stick with social media, less likely to get shot that way.
Places like Chicago. Cleveland. They all had the same problem.
Yup. Went through this same shit at Lexmark back in '09 with the software dev department I was in.

I have an ISP imposed bandwidth cap so there's no way in hell I can download it without incurring some hefty fees. You offering to pay?

I miss the "old days" when only us nerds/geeks had computers. One's that we had built ourselves.
