shul, and only you can stop it from continuing. Please contact your senator and send a check at the P.O. Box listed in the website in the video. Remember, only you and your money can keep another kitten from being tossed to the sharks.

It's the "Save Our Cats and Kittens Society" aka. SOCKS, Inc.
Their address is:
c/o The UPS Store
Jacksonville, FL

Oh the irony. Where is >U/Riley Pitz now? After all his lambasting of Steam, now his Monolith is releasing their game on Steam. I wonder what he thinks of it all.

I meant to say, I wonder what his excuse is.

It's just good corporate marketing.

I like how they have dribbled news slowly out each day, so they always have something out on the news sites.

Keeps the game in conversation. If the game is constantly talked about, it must be good, right?

Hey two birds with one stone. At least it will also solve the Social Security issue.

Well, its back at $38.99 from Amazon. That's still the lowest around. It's $3/month.

They are usually $38.99 at Amazon. When it dropped to $30, it sold out from Amazon as a seller. They still have 3rd party sellers. When they restock it, who knows which price it will come back as. I doubt it was a mistake.

Sure they have. Including this on. The only Wright in the NY state assembly is Keith L.T. Wright. Who is a democrat.

You missed my sarcasm. Historically, its the Democrats who propose these types of laws. It's their way of trying to appeal to the older crowd.

Oh yes, because we know that Democrats haven't ever proposed laws against video games...

I was disappointed that the Apple laptop was just an Onion article.

I was expecting to finally see a new multi-touch screen laptop with a haptic on-screen keyboard.

Of course, the Onion knows that Apple will eventually release one, so they can point to this article to show how they can "predict" the future.

Get FIOS.

No bottlenecks because your neighbor is sucking all the bandwidth.

I've found it to be extremely reliable, with a consistent 20 Mbps downlink at any time of the day.

Everyone has rose colored glasses for their past.

It's like Christmas when you were little. When it's new, its exciting. It starts getting old hat, but then you become Santa Claus.

Costco has the Garmin 750 (one of the top models, best brand) for $199.

Garmin's are like Apple's, best products, easy to use, but they cost more. But for $199 with all those features, (text to speech, widescreen, etc.) its hard to argue.

I'm a long time MythTV user. For you, I would recommend it, but if you are building it for someone else, you may want to strongly consider a Vista system. Actually, you should strongly consider a TIVO for someone else.

Building a HTPC is not a cheaper option. It just gives you more freedom, and its a nice hobby. But unless you like tinkering with computers, usually people just want devices that just work at an affordable price. You don't want the PVR to crash at 10 PM one night and your sister missing her "must watch" show.

So build yourself a Myth box, and buy your friends and family a Tivo.

Personally, I prefer KnoppMyth, but Mythbuntu is pretty nice too. I have a single box with both frontend and backend under my TV. I spent a good amount making it silent. But I had another friend use a Mac mini for a silent frontend at his TV, with his backend server in another room.

I read the Metaverse and Legal Briefs all the time. In fact, it's part of the reason why I come to Blue's News every day, multiple times a day. My one stop on the intertubes where I can get all the information that I'm interested in (plus the NYTimes and WashPost).

With that said, I never read the Hardware Reviews anymore. I used to scan them, back when I built my own computers. But I don't have that kind of time anymore.

They can serve more ads when they use multiple pages.

They aren't stupid.

Wow, sounds like Sony is doing their best to use all their divisions against Microsoft. I'm still signing up for Netflix. I guess I just won't watch Sony movies.

My point is that the way you use staff can indicate the manner that you are using it:

Well-trained and well-compensated staff are required to facilitate good servicing.

A well-trained and well-compensated staff is required to facilitate good servicing.

You can't really switch is and are in those sentences.

It is a singular entity in this case, but there are cases when it is not. For example:

Well-trained and well-compensated staff are required to facilitate good servicing.

Well, like I mentioned before, it was working for me on my Blackberry at 9 AM. Which is before you made the change. But others were having trouble after that, so I don't know what was the cause/solution.

It still seems to be working fine for me on my Blackberry.
