Like learning a language? The words you're reading right now and then use to type up a response are encoded messages all the same. Instead of your eyes being the stimulus, it's an electrical wire. Which, if I understand basic brain chemistry, isn't that much different.

In order: W2's 1099-T's, 1098-E's if you've started paying back those loans 1099-Rs No idea You know you can try turbotax and get to the way end before paying? By now, you should have received all relevant tax forms. Make sure turbotax asked you for information from each form. If...

Oh man, I can't wait for digitized food so I can pirate me some authentic kobe beef! You make valid points. I would like some hard numbers too. Because I seriously doubt cable company's margins are that slim. And even if they are, I think Steam has proven that electronic media can exist at...

Isn't that the point? They are offering an inferior product that they need to bundle to make money. Shouldn't market forces be allowed to push bad TV off the air. Chopped, which I do actually watch, was supposed to be best example of this. 99% of food network is complete crap, especially...

Simas: Some of those choices are incomplete. Here, I don't watch much tv. Find me a complete package that consists of these TV shows: Jeopardy The Daily Show The Colbert Report Chelsea Lately Chopped I'm not arguing the legality of the act. I know it's illegal. On the morality...

Technically, yes. But certain parts of the supply chain(ISPs) are already monopolies or getting pretty darn close in most areas. So if we don't like the tv package one provider offers, we cancel them and go with...? A true marketplace should allow people to vote with their dollars and it's...

I thought media groups were going pretty heavily after newsgroups already. The best indexing site just went under and new content gets removed so quickly that the "super secret" place to upload changes frequently.

Did you erase the first month from your memory? Remember, since they are forcing you to play online, bnet's performance must be held to a much higher standard. Besides error 37, which went on for a lot longer than launch day, any disconnects, lags, rubber banding, etc, is a serious knock...

No sympathy, give me products I want to buy. Don't package them(tv channels) with tons of crap. I'm sure someone will post that oatmeal comic about GoT soon.

How quickly people forget error 37.

I feel like we should have a sister thread, how to lower her expectations of the wedding. Because that can easily dwarf the costs of the engagement ring.

He also played Sylvester Graham. And the butcher. And a whole bunch of other stuff. He's all over Good Eats as minor roles.

It's not judging for the want of the diamond ring. It's judging on the cognitive dissonance of wanting a diamond ring after being told how much they're actually worth and how much of a "tradition" it really is.

Goth-lite. Luckily she's grown out of it. And if I had said blood orange instead?

You missed out on a whole ton of great mods.

Only on the grounds that it's a silly to wear white JUST because it's tradition. My wife wore black to the wedding.

Doesn't get the pussy as moist.

Can't help you out because I was able to use my wife's grandmother's wedding ring as her engagement ring. 0 dollars and tons of sentimentality! Actually, is there something like that in her or your family? Some sort of heirloom. I want to hear what happened to that guy with the stuckup bitch.

People that won't turn right on red and thus trigger the sensor light, causing me to brake going right to left on the intersecting road. Sensor lights with no minimum wait times. New car shows up at red light? LETS CHANGE THE LIGHTS!!!

But does it do federal AND...provincial(?) returns for free? I hate our lobbying system so much.

I don't think that's how push email works. My Exchange password expired over the weekend and it was only bugging me about it every 10 minutes. And that was probably for the account syncing, not the actual new email. However, if you implement that hamfisted approach, you'll be killing a lot...

Wouldn't that kill the primary advantage of push email? I want to know when email comes in without having to look at my phone.

What if the treadmill is going in reverse?

The same seeds used to make chia pets? Yeah, I want to eat that shit.

Can't remember last time I needed to do a battery pull on my gnex. Don't miss the microsd slot either. Both antiquated pieces of technology(in cell phones), so get used to it. Or just complain each time a new phone comes out.

Hopefully it's a good version of "anyone can win it" this year, and not the shitfest we got a few years ago. Ugh, Uconn v Butler finale...

Why ask us? Ask the AH. That's a trifecta amulet. Even if it is a tad low on IAS, I bet you could get some decent $$ for it on the RMAH. Silly me not noticing account bound.

None at all? That's weird, I remember getting my Nexus 7 and all my apps(from the play store) loaded up. APN settings, screen timeout settings, everything. What do you have checked in "Backup & restore" in settings?

If employers are still paying for healthcare by the time I get old, I'm sure as fuck still working for as long as I can. See the healthcare thread.

Define everything else. Apps and settings should be remember by your google account. Contacts too, IF you created them under your google account. If you had someone's phone number imported from your old phone under a carrier's app, and their email under you google account, and you just merged...

Interesting point. Power series sum of 1.07^X from 1 -> 18 is a multiplier of 36.37896. So, the per year cost would have to be ~27.5k for a total cost 1M by an age of 18. Which I think is about twice too high, but that obviously depends on your locale. If you're going to pay for private...

The per year costs were supposed to illustrate that your figure was way too high. Median family income is actually below $1M/18.

You really think a kid costs ~50k a year?

Job prospects are probably more dependent on where you're willing to live. Though, you do live in AZ, so you set the bar pretty low there. Boston and San Francisco/Silicon Valley are the big tech hubs. DC if you're willing to work for the government. I would say the hardware side of...

You didn't recognize the voice actor for Dr. Krieger. Do you even Alton Brown?

Most of the time, they come in the form of a USB A female to USB micro B male cable. Since I'm betting you don't have a standard USB cord with a USB A female end, the USB OTG cord allows you to plug things like memory sticks, external hard drives, keyboards, etc into your phone or tablet. You...

No. OTG cables have the ID line tied to ground on the slave end.

You're channeling correlation pretty heavily there.

KFC smells delicious!
