Exactly.... I live in an older apartment, and we seem to go through bulbs once every 2-3 months - not much I can do about it, except keep buying more bulbs - so it boils down to whatever is the cheapest option, wins.
On another note, CFLs annoy me to no end - we replaced one light with a CFL bulb, and when we turn it on, it actually takes time to "warm up". After 5 minutes, it's nice and bright, but when we first turn it on, it's dim... like a streetlight that's just turning on. Annoying as hell.
Are they kidding? redtube.com has "high quality" video? What is everyone surfing using a 15" monitor these days? It's on par with Youtube, and hardly considered High Quality.
Is it discovery channel that everyone migrated over to? Dammit! I'm still watching "The Learning Channel" and learning that having 19 kids is suicidal.
If you pay to go to the movies you can't get your money back because you didn't like the movie.
That not entirely true. At all cinemas here in Canada at least, there is a refund policy that if you walk out within the first 30 minutes of the movie, you can get a full refund. How come there isn't a crippleware version that only works for a few levels that's completely free? Would most likely take care of the "casual pirate". The hardcore freeloaders, no matter what their reasons, won't pay anyways.
They really need to create a ranking system for logged in Google users so people can vote down spammy links. Could be based on the frequency of the reports. Anything in first ten results with more than 100 negative votes per hour, automatically get removed and placed into a holding queue for a Google employee to review. If it's discovered to be spam, automatically penalize the URL in all results and remove it. Hosting companies will never want to host spammers, because all their good customers will go running to the hills.
Just a thought..
Maybe Facebook should implement a "dislike" button... that might give those who feel that updating their status about their bowel functions every couple hours a day is really not that interesting and that yes, your actually losing friends over it.
Getting the post before the second one gets the most eyeballs, including the pseudomods, and statistically speaking, will have the best chance of getting a +5 moderation, regardless of the content of the post.
Well not for the ridiculously low price you can get it for in the USA anyways....
Maybe this is finally the solution for Canadians, because I like reading that magazine, good bathroom fodder. Unless they decide to cripple the app based on geo-location.
Now can we get an Andriod app for this?
Facebook accounts are attractive because of the higher level of trust on the site than exists in the broader Internet. People are required to use their real names and tend to connect primarily with people they know.
That's true for anyone who doesn't play games. For those who do play the games from Zynga and other gaming houses, you'd be amazed at what people will do to get to the next level, or getting that rare item. I play the games as well, but to keep the game essentially free, you have to add "neighbors" or your progression stalls. What's the solution? Join an "ADD ME" group, or check the gaming group and troll the comments, adding people every day.
I'm not kidding when I say about 10% of my Facebook friends, actually know me, which makes my profile almost useless, unless you want to be Level 70 in Treasure Isle!

I mean, since when can a credit corporation tell you what you can and can't spend your money on?
Try using your credit card to make a deposit at an online casino. Denied? Hmm.. interesting.
Try using your credit card to purchase an online subscription with a website with questionable content. Denied? Hmm.. interesting.
They can and do dictate what you can or cannot spend their money on. Unless you forgot whos money your spending, it isn't yours and never was.
Just switch to all ASCII videos....

... just hide your links in a TinyURL and proceed as normal. What's the big deal?

Didn't you see the movie? Half the entire west coast sinks into the sea in 2012....
Canon sucks

What does Google have to do with it?
/Goggles?
I have the same problem! Add Me +++
If I had a clue how to actually code other than write VBA macros in Excel, i'd probably want to apply.
Anyways, your reply made me chuckle.
We don't care about children anymore.... we do however, care about the terrorists!

I know... i've done it a few times myself.
My usage would be ZERO minutes if it wasn't for those addictive games that make me want to add everyone as a friend...
And we all want the 2 hours of our life back.
No problem, this nuclear reactor which will undoubtedly be powering your time machine, you can now get those 2 hours back :)

Did we take into account all the bittorrent clients flooding the upstream and choking the downstream? No? O'Rly!
Just as long as the porn is not of women with small tits... that would be illegal
I wonder if you made a Pac-Man clone what Google might think of that?
If it wasn't for the Atom Bomb, you'd be singing a different tune... probably in Japanese even...
