My wife has been pushing for AT&T internet too but whats the point in fiber optic if your house isnt wired for it? Then YOU become the bottleneck and are forced down to whatever speed can be handled over standard telephone wiring, likely the DSL range.

Lol, thats exactly the mental image I get when I think of the Scandinavian countries:

What do you guys without cars do when winter sets in? Walk through snow to the bus stop and stand there freezing until the bus shows up?

Having been in the Navy, dont you get the monthly spam from the Navy Federal Credit Union? They've almost broken me down. The latest offering was life insurance from $10,000 to $350,000 with the prices being very reasonable with no medical check required and you cant be denied as long as you didnt receive a other than honorable discharge. I got a good laugh while reading the fine print. Apparently we are broken down into percentages. For example, you lose a hand? That gets you 25% of your policy. An eyeball? Well thats only worth like 10%.

That's why those bottles can be recycled again. Maybe one day it will come to the US too. Nah.

I could really use a backlit keyboard.

Bottled water should be criminalized simply for the huge amount of waste it leaves behind for eternity.

Neutrino experiment repeat at Cern finds same result.

Ars Technica savages the UI.

Just invest in a cell phone jammer. They come as cheap as $135 dollars and fit in your pocket.

Post counts only increment outside of the WoT forum. Include this forum and you could probably triple his post count. Also, you missed my stealth edit, I tried to email him through the link in his profile and it bounced back.

Not really, it happens a lot, especially changes in work environment can result in pretty abrupt cuts in forum activity. In most cases I would agree with that but this seems a bit unusual IMO. A "founding member" with over 2k posts hasnt once had the time to log in since Jan 2010? I tried that around 6 months ago and it came back undeliverable.

~Di hasnt been around for a while. Im curious to know what happened to taks. Daily prolific posters dont usually drop off the face of the earth unless something bad happened.

Hell yeah!

Lobster used to be considered low class food too.

^^I actually like that one.

Yay, MC came back.

Glad to see things are looking up tarna. Hang in there.

HAL isnt radiation proof, it just helps the poor bastard wearing the 132 lb tungsten vest. This is the same robot they developed to help the old and infirm.

820K units shipped literally means physical copies shipped to brick-and-mortar stores? That number does not include digital sales?

Crazy, Stupid, Love. Pretty funny. Its weird, I like Steve Carell in everything except Office.

Because romancing a Twi'lek is better than romancing a Jawa. ... Or is it? I had to look both of those races up, and its a tough call, but Im going with the Twi'lek. Those tubules are kooky but Jawa's are creepy with those mechanical eyes. As an aside, anyone know of a picture of a Jawa where they are disrobed and you can see what the species actually looks like? Are they robots?

Come to the dark side.

Actually, 18 months is round trip. The general concensus is 9 months each way.

That was my thought too, how is this any different from prison? Actually, it probably wasnt much different than an apartment without windows. They could have saved a fortune just interviewing prisoners, most of which have spent YEARS in a similar living conditions. It would have been hysterical had they cracked the seal and found one fat dude and five picked-over sets of bones.
