    The Trump Card...

    CNN really has a woody over this conflict of interest thing. It's not like we didn't know Trump has business interests all over the world. Maybe if they'd treated him seriously as a candidate, and talked about all this then. They're crapping their pants over Ivanka sitting in on a meeting with...

    Phones Flagship Smartphones

    Not really a solution for someone who hates iPhones and prefers Android phones, though. FlyingVan beat me to it. :D

    town renames good friday for sake cultural sensitivity

    If the mayor truly wants to respect "differing cultures" he wouldn't give non-Christians the day off with pay, but he would give Jews and Muslims paid holidays for Hanukkah and Ramadan. <snort> Political correctness doesn't promote tolerance, it organizes hate.

    Phones Flagship Smartphones

    I had been looking hard at the S5 and the M8. They both have the same specs and innards, but the S5 is water resistant (which is not an issue for me) and the fingerprint scanner (which is also not an issue with me). The day the S5 came out I decided to get one or the other, and the next day I...

    Also, just an FYI for anyone still on Verizon's grandfathered unlimited data plan (UDP). If you use Pdanet, FoxFi, EasyTether or some other free tethering option, that goes away with Android 7.0 Nougat. You can get around it by rooting your phone, modifying a file, then unrooting the phone (so...

    Phones Flagship Smartphones

    Back when it first came out, about 2.5 years ago, I got a new HTC One M8. As with most of the new flagship phones the battery isn't user replaceable. That was my first concern. People would say, "It's not a big deal. By the time the battery dies you'll be wanting to upgrade to a new phone...

    EZ PASS??

    The attitude from most tolling authorities seems to be, "Hey, Mr. Government, if you want me to make my system compatible with other systems, you're gonna have to pay for it."

    In the tank.

    That's the kind of loose rhetoric that has caused the American people to want that swamp drained. The campaign is over.

    Need some thoughts please.

    "I'm confused" = "You're lying" Got it.

    Ford confirms Lincoln MKC production staying in Louisville, clarifies Trump tweets

    Here's an article from the Wall Street Journal that cuts to the heart of the matter with no political spin.

    This is actually my favorite thread in the forums. :grinning:

    Another why do people protest

    This one is mainly for you. She plays with her hair a lot less, and this one is like most of her other videos (quick editing cuts and even more of the same annoying talking and acting), but it's spot-on funny. "For every one person who gets shot in a mall parking lot, there are literally...

    In the tank.

    Here's a pretty good article (a shockingly unbiased one) from The Hollywood Reporter, no less, about Steve Bannon. The only thing most people know about Steve Bannon is what comes from the New York Times and the rest of the mainstream media, and that, of course, is that Bannon is leader of the...

    It may seem that way at times, but the thing is, you really don't. You have to be a spammer, or be quite deliberate in an attempt to get banned, in order to get banned. Typically, he'd just have been banned after his first post for being a Drive-By Poster (since those types of posters rarely end...

    Well, that didn't take long. In a not-entirely-unexpected PMed response to having his posts Moderated, he instructed me to have amorous congress with both myself (which is darn near impossible) and the forums at large (which requires way more effort than I can expend). I do wish him well in...

    You don't get to bash a company and then say you didn't bash them, and then as a justification for that, bash them again. You also don't get to violate the Code of Conduct just because you have an opinion that violates it. Your posts will now be Moderated. Unless your posts show a marked...

    BOO

    Being offended, deeply, has supplanted baseball as the national pastime. And Americans are unlike any other in their speed, endurance and sheer athleticism at which we can be offended. We can juggle six or seven outrages all at once, and then drop them and pick up new ones in the blink of an...

    No, they didn't take it the wrong way. The Code of Conduct, which you agreed to when you signed on, makes it very clear on how people took you post. You joined up and as your very first post you stated in a very matter-of-fact fashion that all the people who work at V3 are rejects from another...
