Yeah, very christian-like responses. What's funny is the #1 commandment that most christians break 100% of the time...Ironically, it's the first commandment for the Roman Catholic Church, Second commandment for everyone else...
"You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me."
If memory serves me...I think most Christian-based religions worship a statue of Jesus on a cross.
By my logic...EVERYONE'S going to hell, so keep the beer cold for when I come join you.
I guess it depends on the type of TV you watch. I'm sure people lose IQ points if all they watch are reality shows. If you watch the Science Channel and Discovery, I'm sure you'll get "smarter"
If you're a public figure (especially law enforcement) just assume you're going to be videotaped. The term "law-abiding citizen" applies to law enforcement also. No one is above the law...unless you're in the Steven Segal movie...
I'm almost willing to bet the attachment probably has some sort of virus/malware payload attached if he DID happen to open it. Sometimes spam e-mail is just fun to read...and laugh at.
•Patent 6,385,622: "System and methods for remotely accessing a selected group of items of interest from a database."

Is it just me, or are these two DIFFERENT patents for the EXACT SAME THING??? Maybe CIVIX-DDI should sue itself for patent infringement.
And don't get me started on the broad definition. How is the search done? What protocols are used? What type of Network? What search language is used? How are the maps displayed? What type of storage is used? Do I need to go on???
Ah yes, I see Fox is applying the standard trademark test of "moron in a hurry to buy nonexistent offshoot merchandise from non-traditional retail outlets while saddled with the cognitive inability to discern the first letter in a brand name or anything other than what's left of said brand name."
Was going to say something sarcastic, but after reading this, it's no contest.
I live in a rural town in the mountains of western NC and have 12mb fiber (could even have faster but don't need it so why pay for it). We can have Spotify streaming in one room, someone watching YouTube vids and people downstairs watching Netflix streaming. Everything works smooth.
Consider yourself lucky if you get those speeds. In SoCal, if I want that type of speed, I need to sign up for a Business level plan (expensive as hell.) Right now, the fastest I can get is 5-8mb down and 1mb up with Time Warner. I REFUSE to sign up with AT&T for ANYTHING.
I'd be all for 100% streaming of content, but Netflix doesn't allow this. I start watching a show that I like, but it's already in it's third or forth season. I go to netflix to catch up on the series.
About halfway through the first season there's a DVD-only episode. now I have to order the DVD and wait for it in the mail. I think that's their way of "slowing down" how many shows you can stream.
Also, High-speed internet is not available everywhere. If you can't stream a movie, you have no choice but to get the DVD.
The rear-end issue is quite true and sometimes it's not a matter of driving too close or lack of attention. Sometimes you look at your side mirrors to go to the other lane and in that small period of time the guy in front of you slams his break and when you react and slam yours the damage is already done.
If that's an issue for you, see previous post about following too closely. Checking mirrors and blind spot before changing lanes shouldn't take more than a second or two...Hence the 2 second rule for following the car in front of you.
Apple is suing Samsung. Samsung is countersuing Apple in three countries. Apple is looking for new parts suppliers because currently Apple's parts come from . . . Samsung! (Apple can build phones out of Samsung parts, but Samsung cannot.)

As to the monkeys, all that remains certain is that Mike didn't make it, therefore has no right to use it. Didn't just pop out of thin air into the public domain.
By your definition, You're using words...Did you create them? No. Why are you using them without permission then?
