    Getting burned out on zombies

    That was fantastic. I never knew about that.

    Most useless app on your iPhone?

    I agree that I have never found a use for Game Center, but I do use the iTunes from time to time--usually to download a new episode of a podcast when I haven't synced in a few days.

    A major feature I'd like to see in 10.7 (that will never happen)...

    I would like to be able to anchor panes from different applications into one tabbed window. Allow me to explain. I am often working on one project that spans multiple applications. Perhaps I am writing a document in Word, while referring to text from several different websites in Chrome...

    FCC: Repurposing of the Television Broadcast Spectrum

    For my administrative practice class, I'm writing a comment to the FCC concerning a proposed rule that will change the way the frequencies in the VHF/UHF parts of the spectrum are allocated. The notice of proposed rulemaking is here...

    iPhone Automatic Connection to Xfinity and Optimum Hotspots

    UGH. Yes, this is a great bonus for being a Comcast subscriber. I never seem to go 100 feet in the Greater Philadelphia area without triggering one of the hotspots. But truthfully, it feels just like that-- like I'm triggering a 2.4GHz landmine. First, this usually happens while I'm on the...

    Federal law vs City Ordiance

    Bingo. The Commerce Clause would not give the federal government the authority to regulate local streets and signage. For the federal government to regulate here, the local signage must affect a channel or instrumentality of interstate commerce, or must substantially affect interstate commerce...

    Data Stored on Magnetic Strips - Is it repeated, or linear?

    Thanks! I intend to purchase a card reader before I experiment with my one and only access card. I've got to do my homework on those now.

    Data Stored on Magnetic Strips - Is it repeated, or linear?

    On a magnetic strip, is the data repeated throughout the length of the strip, or is it linear--starting at the beginning of the strip and terminating at the end? If the latter is true, I would assume that the entire strip must be swiped for the data to be read. The reason I ask is this: my...

    "America's diversity is its greatest strength"

    QFT It's not "racist" to point out that continued cultural integration will result in increased tension between members of a population. Ideally, the immigrant population would bring their unique cultural experiences to American society, but would make an effort to adapt and meaningfully...

    YAUCT: Volvo S40 or Audi A4 (both 2000)

    Nice! She looks good! One of my favorite features is the leather wrapped steering wheel. It's got a nice, thick, solid feel to it.

    YAUCT: Volvo S40 or Audi A4 (both 2000)

    Compared to the Volvo seats--which are considered by some to be among the best in the industry--the old C is not very comfortable. I drive a Jetta, which has similar leather seats to the A4. I think they're kind of stiff and, again, prefer the Volvo. The new C (after 2001) is a nice, solid...
