    Prepaid WiFi and MiFi

    I don't do a lot of streaming, but I do download one 1-hour TV show and three half-hour shows per week. That's 3.5 gigs right there. I both tether and use the Aircard, and still end up right at 5 GB on each. :D

    Well, you might not want to hire a vet is you want to read their interjections in the blue area. :D

    Prepaid WiFi and MiFi

    I got tired of maybe/maybe-not WiFi at truckstops, and none at Walmarts and other places, and just went with an Aircard (at Verizon). I can use it while waiting to get loaded or unloaded, and pretty much anywhere else I am at the time. They have two options for Mobile Broadband (4G), the 5 GB...

    Mexico queries US gun smuggling operation

    I wish they'd ask the US for detailed information on a Customs and Border Protection operation that has allowed 20 million illegals to be smuggled across the border. <snort>

    Or an equally big, Mrs. Biggie-Meanie to cover the night shift. She was the one in charge of the whole cave, anyway. :D "Git yur lazy butt out there and kill sump'n and drag it home, or you'll be sleeping out thar with them critters!" Sometimes I get those Cavewomen and Kentucky women...

    reckless driving in VA

    I don't disagree with any of the above, except the last two sentences. By definition, since it was prehistory, one cannot know for sure. One can assume such decisions were by consensus, but it could equally be assumed that cavemen did not sit around and debate issues such as big game hunts or...

    So with no experience whatsoever in actual combat, you somehow managed to deduce that "one thing combat teaches is decision making". Got it. That's the actual definition of education, dood. education -noun the act or process of imparting or acquiring particular knowledge or skills

    Of course the government can create rights. They do it all the time. The history of human society can be marked by the granting of rights to a people by the government, rights that in most cases were fought for and won by the people, going back to the Magna Carta, and nearly 1000 years before...

    Oh, good grief. Didja learn that in combat, or did someone educate you on that matter? Incidentally... Millard Fillmore, a congressman and later 13th president of the United States, was at one time a cloth-maker's apprentice in New York. Strom Thurmond, the longest-filibustering and...

    reckless driving in VA

    The term "unequivocally" shouldn't be used here, as it literally means absolute, unqualified, and not subject to conditions or exceptions. The right to drive is, absolutely, subject to conditions or exceptions, and is more of a qualified right than it is a privilege. Rights are inherent and...

    An insane inmate running the asylum

    Re: An inane inmate running the asylum World oil prices went up when Bush was in office because he's an oil guy. World oil prices are going up now because Obama is an anti-oil guy. Gotta luv it.

    Teletype WorldNav Truck GPS navigation

    Garmin has the lion's share of the North American GPS market (Tom Tom is second). There's a reason for that. Several of them. No GPS is perfect, but Garmin's mapping and routing is still the best. Everybody else is a Garmin wannabe. Many will play up the bells and whistles to make up for their...

    Your world and my world, perhaps, but not in today's world. Just ask the Amish. For that matter, according to the US Census Bureau, in Manhattan 78% of the households there do not have a vehicle. In the Bronx, car-free households is 60%. In Brooklyn it's 54%. Only Queens and Staten Island have...

    Teletype WorldNav Truck GPS navigation

    Just because different units use NavTeq data doesn't mean all of those units will be the same. The location databases and routing algorithms are vastly different between manufacturers, even with the same basic maps, because eacj application vendor compiles data in different ways. Some...
