    The 80s kid thread

    My grandparents had the old school gigantic satellite dish and an illegal descrambler so they got every channel. They had to have it updated every few months or it would go back to scrambled, and the sound would stop working quite a while before the video. More than once when they were in...

    Translation: We don't have any way of stopping you, but we hope that if we sound cool about it, you will feel guilty enough to pay. I don't think that HBO is just cool with people burning up their bandwidth and watching all their content without paying just because they know someone that does pay.

    You can hit up Solvang and many wineries between Monterey and LA, and tons of awesome ocean views as Alex said.

    I have thought about this too. I think people are just so paranoid about being lied to all the time that they want to tell themselves that they can believe somebody because of X. It's also just a way to try to make people feel shitty after you got tricked by them. Plus there was that one...

    The pebble is hard to beat for battery because of the e-ink screen. Anything with an LCD or AMOLED screen is going to take a big hit on battery life. As long as it's 20+ hours though it's good for me. As Soriak said, it's not that big a deal to just plug it in next to your phone every night.

    That is a good thought but you should probably wait until Snyder is gone to do the rebranding.

    I would totally watch another season with Parvati and Amanda and James. They couldn't really do a Boston Rob vs. Russell type season with them though because Parv was a way better player than the other two.

    I was in 2nd grade when the Challenger blew up. I went to a 1-room rural school that had an apartment for the teacher on the side and a parent called the school to tell us the shuttle blew up and we went into the teacher's apartment and watched the news coverage for the rest of the day. I...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I don't dislike Mayo, but I don't think it's worth the calories. I prefer mustard on sandwiches and if I do use anything it's mostly for waterproofing my bread on a burger or something and I usually use a 1/32" layer of light miracle whip.

    I have wished sometimes that my phone had better speakers when I want to show someone a funny YouTube video or something and the speaker is on the back of the phone and you can't fucking hear it even on max volume. My current phone is fine for that though, my shitty netbook on the other hand...

    It's hand-wringing white people for the most part. My cousin is married to an American Indian and while I haven't asked him about this topic specifically, I would bet $1000 he doesn't care. Even the phrase "native American" is mostly for uptight white people. I've never met an actual native...

    I would be shocked if Spencer doesn't get another shot and I am totally on board. It would be great to see Tasha play again as well. I wonder if Tony would actually do it again since he seems to have had a lot of health problems after the game. It seems a little soon to bring back blood vs...

    I must be lucky then. I dropped my G2 from eye level onto a concrete shop floor a couple weeks ago. All it got was a little scuff on the corner. I also think cases are stupid and haven't had one for several years.

    Just make sure that the blade is wide enough that you can go all the way down to the board without your fingers hitting it. My Mom has some knives that are not quite wide enough and it drives me nuts whenever I chop something at her house.

    I think that this is true, which is why making some Android phones would probably be a great idea for them but they waited way too long to concede defeat on the operating system front and then got in bed with another failed platform (Windows Phone).

    Yeah. I think they definitely love each other, but not in a romantic way and since both of them are pretty much incapable of sustaining a romantic relationship, I would rather see them just remain friends and be a great team. The two of them starting their own agency with Pete might be the...

    That's not making money on phones. They don't make phones anymore since microsoft took the cash-hemorrhaging devices and services division. Nokia will go on as a company, but they don't make phones anymore. The patent licensing and maps shit is not what we're talking about. "Look at all...

    Tarrant, you are really and truly a retard. Just read the wikipedia page about the last 4 years at Nokia. It's the picture of a healthy company. They laid of 24,000 employees, they are losing money, they fired their CEO and then sold the company to Microsoft, their stock price is in...

    I hate it when people say "it's just a tax writeoff". Sure he would have had to pay $500k of that in taxes anyway, but it's not like he's coming out ahead in the deal. Tax brackets have nothing to do with it since you only pay the higher tax rates on the money you make above the bracket...

    I actually laughed out loud at this post. First, I thought they didn't give a shit, now they do? And going from #1 in smartphones to basically zero in 3 years is not what I would call "trending down a bit".
