  1. thats not how this tech works in the slightest. it simply is a sensor and breaks if it judges you arent paying attention

    the real issue is that the cost of cars is going to go up again. Of course they would put it in there on all lines "in the name of safety" however the truth is they will make more money per car sold, and raise the cost of entry level cars

    what i mean is that obama never had a real job, he was a politician his whole life and while you look at the ACA as a good thing, i dont. There is a reason it never passed before, and thats because it isnt any good.

    what i am saying is that career politicians are probably the worst people to elect because they are so out of touch with reality its sad.

    I disagree. I want someone in government who isnt in government for the single reason that they are not in government.

    we have gone how long electing governors and senators and we end up with bush and obama??? yeah we can do much much better if we open the pool to those not beholden to the whims of government

    be careful what you wish for

    but seriously anything we clone now is not a replica in the way copying a computer file is. it may have the same physical looks, it may be dna identical, however it will not, it cannot be an exact replacement for a pet

    I can see bad things if people do this thinking they will get their lovable pet back and find it to be a totally different animal

    thats the exact thought process i went through a few months back when i bought my new TV> fir the same display panel, in the same exterior case, with the same remote - 180 bucks more for the smart tv vs the display only version. a 50$ roku stick was the final piece.

    in the end i now can turn any hdmi capable display into a smart device, and i saved a good amount of money

    I realize im raving about the roku on this thread, just a happy customer, nothing more

  10. Re:Cost is not an issue on Apple TV To Be Revamped · · Score: 2

    the roku has got to be one of the easiest things to use. i plugged it in, most channels i would want are pre loaded. all i had to do was connect to my network and enter my credentials.

    cant speak for fireTV or others but the roku is a fine device
