"You mean "less likely to damage its trusted cargo than either of the major private carriers""
Bullshit.
The USPS won't honor insurance on packages (5 undamaged boxes shipped to California, Insured, all contents within DESTROYED and boxes battered [one was wet,] USPS refused to refund/issue insurance payout.)
The USPS Does not care about your packages. I've watched people finish paying to ship a package, turn around to leave, the postal worker just tosses the thing (whether or not it's marked 'FRAGILE') into a bin as hard as they can.
The USPS is by far the worst delivery company I have ever dealt with. Hell my *BILLS* arrive in the mail either ripped or wet half the time.
You're ignorant. Portal 2 can run on absolute shit hardware (minimum GPU is a 7600. The PS3 has a modified 7800. Most computers built within the past 5 years can run it and you can get one of those off Craigsist for LESS than the cost of the PS3.
And you're only level five elitist. Come back when you only use operating systems written in raw ASM, n00b.
$20/ounce is actually a low price. Most outdoor growers average $50 an ounce to obtain AAA medical quality. Most indoor growers using HID spend about $100-150 per AAA ounce produced. Also, outdoor growing is actually very inefficient and soil takes much longer than hydro to produce a crop.
It's cheaper for me because my particular system drops resource usage WAY, WAY down. LED for growth, NFT for highly reduced water usage and nutrient usage.
"It'd be really nice if my electronics could recognize that I'm going off to Florida again, and prepare all the WPA keys, clocks, and weather applets to reflect my new location for the week"
And that's where you got your ass ripped off, as my Playstation Portable has done almost exactly that for years.
Fuck, my regular laptop can ping the nearest NTP server and get local time. Your shit over-priced phone can't do that or store WPA keys of preferred access points?
And that was a car built with very little aerodynamic consideration. It was brute efficiency and power transmission to get that 700+ MPG at 55MPH. Had tey bothered with aerodynamics, they'd have probably pushed 90MPG.
Unprovable claims. Such laughable stuff. Go to one and go see for yourself. Half of these over-100MPG beasts are just that, ugly blocky bricks.
They still kick the ass of anything coming out of any major car manufacturer as far as fuel economy goes.

"I deserve a prorated per-day refund for every day that I'm affected by such shenanigans."
You don't deserve anything unless you get off your lazy ass and fight for it.
"Web Developers Should Know CSS/Algebra!"
THIS A THOUSAND TIMES OVER.

And you want to defend the USPS?
I smell a shill.
Actually you're wrong. There's a difference between a legal frame injection and illegal redirection.

Go educate yourself. And yes, there IS a law against it.
"A new videocard (unless you go commodity) is going to run you $300 to $750."
Whet ripoff shit shop do you buy your shit from?

$160 460GTX.
The 450GTS is only $110 and is barely under the 460 in performance. Still runs everything pretty much smoothly at maximum detail.

Take your meds, go to bed. It's obviously too late for you to be awake if your brain is malfunctioning this badly.
"Oversight of laws and policies governing the collection, protection, use and dissemination of commercial information by the private sector"
Commercial Information including your name and credit card number, shipping/billing address, etc.
I wonder how fucked Sony's going to be in the UK? This is quite obviously a violation of the UK Data Protection law..
"PSN is free."
PSN Plus is *NOT* Free.
Do you even own a PS3? Have you been on the PSN?
"At what point did building stuff on your own become something so rare?"
Around the mid-90s.

Waste not, pay not.
"Never been in a PhD program have you."
In my field, I'm the ONLY authority. No PhD required and most doctorates have tried (and failed) to understand half of what my field does.
"Unfortunately, significant change is unlikely to come from faculty members, who all too often remain committed to traditional approaches"
That traditional approach being stuffing whatever corporate-sponsored stuff into the heads of their students.
"Again, you are describing game mechanics, not graphics."
Bullshit. Everything he's talking about is purely a hardware limitation.
Quit pretending that you understand, because you obviously don't and have explicitly said so beforehand.
"It's like they didn't want to bother with going through the extra effort to make that look nice."
No, it's a bandwidth limitation of a single two-conductor co-ax cable and the processing unit it's attached to.
It's purely hardware limitations, not laziness.
"the problem is that modern HDTV's interpret the signal lousily. It's something I will never understand."
It's called the difference between interlaced and progressive.
Have you NEVER owned a CRT in your life?
"emulators are hardware piracy."
You're dead fucking wrong.
Explain BLEEM asshole.
That's what I thought. Shut the fuck up.
Uh, you are aware the Wii can read and play GameCube games, right?
Enjoying that waste of money?
"You cannot buy a retail GameCube at the store brand new."
Wanna bet? I just picked up a silver GameCube today, brand new and in all original packaging with Super Mario Sunshine, for my cousin.
Perhaps you should actually go to a store instead of saying things which imply you never leave the basement.
"The reason you are emulating is to pirate games (be honest)."
Nope, the reason I'm emulating is to preserve my original game discs, of which I have over $2,500 worth.
You're so narrow-minded it's not even funny.

Sad.
You are dead on with your dispensary prices.
So glad I grow my own. AAA Medical, 20 bucks an OUNCE. Not per GRAM.
I said reasonable distance.
For me, that's just over 10 feet away, like I sit right now from my monitor.
Not from a magnetic field from any reasonable distance, not by itself, liars.
You need a whole slew of additional sensors to even get close to such accuracies.
Ugh, crappy keyboard likes to ignore double strokes.
