    Probably several factors at play. Alabama and Louisiana(along with Mississippi) have some of the lowest % of college degrees in their population of any state. And, there are no pro teams in Alabama for people to align their allegiances to, so the University of Alabama is the only choice of...

    I'd have to assume that the best way to use the technology would be to where your light socket in your ceiling has an additional wire(Cat6 or whatever in the future) running to it, so when you screw in a Li-Fi light bulb and turn on the light, it illuminates the room and also sends a wireless...

    the ESRAM size is perfectly fine for frame buffering at 1080p 1 1080p frame is 6.07MB (1920x1080 x 24bits. then / 8 to convert bits to bytes, and /1024 to convert bytes to MB) Even with triple buffering or additional added crap, there's still plenty of room for 1080p frames to run through...

    Just make sure to get on the Google Play store ASAP. I was able to snag an original Nexus 7 and a Chromecast both on their day of release, and they both sold out later that same day, and stayed sold out for a few weeks. It helps if you have internet access at work to check every half hour or...

    KC has one of the larger Italian populations and influences outside of East coast cities and Chicago. The mob was huge here up until the 80s. The entire River Market and North Kansas City was run by Italians. There's still a to of Italian restaurants and delis in both areas.

    We bought some of that seran-wrap looking stuff last winter to put over our basement windows. Rest of the house has new-ish windows, but the basement windows are old as hell. The stuff didn't really do a whole lot. Obviously thin plastic wrap isn't much of an insulator. If the windows are SO...

    Western Kansas is a total cocktease, once you get near Colorado you're excited because you can see mountains, finally something interesting to look at. Then after you've driven another 2 hours and you still haven't reached them(and they barely look closer) it's like a kick in the balls.

    This is exactly true.

    Alternatives to Oil Heating that aren't Natural Gas.

    Maybe it just depends on what part of the country you live in, but a lot of newer homes around here(built in last 10 years) are going with electric furnaces. It's not more common than natural gas by any means, but it's a noticeable amount, it's not super rare. Maybe it's not economical in...

    Looks like the SEC East is probably South Carolinas now. They only have 2 more conference games, and both are at home against Florida and Miss St. Mizzou definitely drops 1 more game (we have Tenn, Ole Miss, and A&M left), so the East goes to SC with the tie breaker over us. Thats fine...

    lol. That's what happens when you don't recruit kickers, and just rely on walk-on kickers constantly. Dude had missed multiple extra points in his career, he's beyond inconsistent. Finally cost us a game. Also, don't try to sit on a lead for an entire half, doesn't work.

    Tablets

    Kindles and Nooks are surprisingly good values. They keep trying to undercut each other on price, and both are actually really solid tablets that are probably priced lower than they should be because of that Amazon/B&N competition.
