    Open up!

    It sure is cool out but the humidity made my back hair all frizzy.
  7. You have to question getting a $400 device for under $40... Amazon reviews: Here
  8. Um.. they why did he call me up and order a pinata full of live lizards?
  9. It means that Apple finally used a high-performing low power processor in their phones that will do more work per clock cycle. And that yeah.. they're catching up to the competition.
  10. While not a personal fan of the Apple products, I can respect that Apple has finally stepped up with their iPhone5 offering and get a bit geeky over it. Also for the fact that Apple has joined the rest of the smartphone world by offering a product that has caught up to the rest of the competition performance-wise. So without further adieu... *disclaimer: The Samsung Galaxy S3 as tested is the international version with 4 cores rather than the US version with 2 cores, the 2 core version scores a bit better, but not by much.
  11. Dayum, I'm broke as a joke then. I mean realistically cut out the monthly grocery and fuel expenses and I'd be a rich mofo.
  12. I just got finished reading "Lions of Kandahar" by Rusty Bradley written with Kevin Maurer. It's about one of the major battles in Afghanistan in 2006 written from the perspective of a Special Forces fighting group. Lately I've been looking at what has gone on in that country allied wise since 2001 and all I can say is what a cluster frank of a "war". Basically every different branch of the military and different allied countries got over there, were told to "win the hearts and minds" while killing the enemy who wasn't clearly defined, and that combined with a lack of an over-reaching plan end
  13. I don't know what those could even be but I'd hazard a guess that they'd totally be watered down and free for everyone but the middle class.
  14. I heard apple accessory suppliers were getting grouchy, so throw out all your old charging cables, the new iPhone 5 has an all new proprietary charging port.
  15. Historically these type of ads were produced to counteract evidence coming to light that smoking wasn't healthy.
  16. This post reminds me of the AMC show MadMen, where the first season and several episodes in later seasons dealt with just this type of disingenuous advertising for cigarettes.
  17. Taken from: Curfew laws? Trying to find the REAL answers (via P.com) BTW it seems it's up to the officer and situation involved whether the child shall be deemed "Unruly" in breach of curfew.
  18. A little over a decade ago I was involved in a chain-reaction accident, meaning I went into the car in front of me, who then went into the car in front of him. etc.. 3 vehicles totalled and towed away, one driver was able to drive off with extensive rear-end damage and minor front end, and last car with minor rear damage. 6 months of physical therapy for torn shoulder muscles and fascia in my upper back. I WAS wearing a seat belt. Driver in front of me had a small (under 1yr old) child in a safety seat, child had to go via ambulance for routine checkout from accident scene. What
  19. Some of the easiest ways hackers can get your sensitive login information: Phishing - Website addresses that you click via emails that look legit, takes you to a website that LOOKS like your Facebook/Banking/Paypal page, you put in your login info.. and now they have it. Prevention: Never use the link in an email that proclaims you have a dire issue with an account, always use your Bookmark/Typed in URL to browse to the website. Keyloggers - Malware that gets installed onto your computer that you are never aware of, monitors for username/email and password entries, calls home every so
  20. I don't think Paulding County can handle more than one Fred's...
  21. Some folks just can't stand it when you have the temerity to question laws and law enforcement. You did your due diligence, accepted the results, and handled it like a true american. Don't let the haters get you down.
  22. In my personal experience, from several different residences, the only time I've lost television signal with Sat service were usually during storms where it's best to shut off everything and hunker down in the basement with a weather radio. For those losing signal at a butterfly fart, call them up and complain, they will send someone out to re-adjust your dish. But yes, dishes are susceptible to signal loss during any heavy inclement event, rain or snow.
  23. Haha.. I remember walking through the woods behind moms neighborhood when I was a youngin and coming across "dugout" areas beside the creek that had old rusted up equipment. T'wasn't until I got older that I realized these were old still sites and the parts we were finding were the old boiler/furnaces as the rest of the "important" pieces were long since gone.
  24. Crap has been seizure inducing on DirecTV.. it's their feed, it's all over facebook.
