Found this at a gas station.

You get bored working at a gas station. My buddy and I had a Jenga tournament using cigarette cartons one time.

That was a really good article. Edison's still a jerk, though. Not the devil, mind you. Just a jerk.

I say this because Edison (along with several major corporations; thanks to this article I'll add that) claimed that Edison's ownership of the patent on moving picture cameras allowed him to control who was allowed to use them. He would sue any start-up film company for using cameras without a license--a license he wouldn't sell them.

One of the reasons that Hollywood is where it is, is so that the film makers could flee to Mexico if and when the Edison-men came for them.

Where are you guys that your Comcast internet has caps? I'm in the Bay Area, and it's cap-free.

MLB.TV is only $115 right now, but if that's still too pricey you can subscribe to GameDay Audio for $10 for the season. It's radio only, but used with the AtBat app online it's not bad.

You can go with the pirate streams--I did that for many years--but you have to put up with the fact that they're often low quality video and aren't reliable. It's one of those "you get what you pay for" things.

Why sunny California has taken to hockey so well I don't know, but I'm glad it has.

Did he also talk about how after he dies his followers will search the world for an infant to take from its parents and worship as a god?

Netflix. Isn't Hulu+ going to start forcing you to verify that you have cable before you can use it? Or did they scrap that?

Either way, Netflix.

So I tried both Roconnect and Plex today to see which was better, and officemonkey is definitely right. I couldn't get Roconnect to work, but Plex is awesome.

Wow, that's a sweet channel.

The reviews for roconnect online make it sound like a dud. Does it work well? Did you have to do anything special to get it to work?

The thing is, I spent 3 days pouring through reviews, Samsung tech support, and forums looking for people with similar problems and solutions to them. The problems that I had were described everywhere. (Even the way customer service handled my call, which is neither here nor there, except that it was the final straw.) No one had any answers. (Samsung's support page gave irrelevant answers that accomplished nothing.)

Also people described buying multiple units with the same problems--some surfacing instantly like mine, others not surfacing until it was too late to return the thing. I had no intention of risking that, so I just ditched the product all together.

From reviews I found all over the internet (Amazon and elsewhere) the problems I had appear to be more typical than not. Either way, I really didn't want to trust it. I spent 3 days stressed out trying to make it work, and watching it just break more and more. I took it back and got a cheaper, Blu-ray player and a Roku. Overall it was more expensive by about $50, but neither of the new devices have abruptly turned to crap, so I'm happy.

I say just take "the age of Big Brother" thing and run with it. The story starts, the murder happens, global death sensors trigger, secret police arrive and download video from the camera hidden in the murderer's wall, mystery solved. Bonus: You won't even have to do any research.

I write science fiction; I just make shit up.

Me too! White male, suburban, and likes videogames?

Man, our stereotypes aren't really offensive, but they sure are depressing.

That's dumb. At my wedding we didn't have a dinner, but an appetizer buffet and unlimited wine. The guests didn't have to pay for shit. The whole wedding was split three ways between my dad, my wife's dad, and me and my wife. (Although, thankfully, not split evenly.)

Additionally, I doubt this silly infatuation with the motor-car will last much longer. Something as timeless as the horse won't vanish overnight.

I just like to err on the side of clarity.

"I have improved in my writing by: correcting some tense and comma issues; , learning how to use semicolons (I hope I’m using them right right now), and learning how to expand a story to fill many pages; . I've developed characters a bit better and emulated other authors pretty successfully."

"I have improved in my writing by correcting some tense and comma issues, learning how to use semicolons (I hope I’m using them right right now), and learning how to expand a story to fill many pages. I've developed characters a bit better and emulated other authors pretty successfully."

Using semicolons in lists is only for when you have lists within lists. For instance: At the store Tom bought pens, pencils, and markers; an assortment of gold, orange, and black paper; and a butt-plug, two vibrators, and some anal-beads.
