All indications point to the deal getting done. The merger hinged largely on Flying J successfully emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which in turn hinged on the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approving a pre-merger agreement in which Pilot Travel Centers would extend $100 million in...

On June 3, 2010 Flying J announced it now accepts Comdata at all of its more then 250 locations across the US and Canada. Flying J's TCH-branded fleet cards will be accepted at all of Comdata's point-of-sale devices, and Comdata cards and Comchecks will be accepted and processed through the...

I would have thought the same thing, and did for a long time, until my niece clarified things. She did two things there, one was call people and ask them to be a Nielsen Family, and the other was compile the view records. If, say, a local news broadcast was shown at 10PM, and then repeated at...

Nielsen ratings cannot even determine the degree to which a TV program is a part of the mainstream, since the Nielsen's are becoming less and less of a factor in things, mainly because they cannot accurately account for Tivo and other shifted viewing. They try, but even Nielsen admits to falling...

The comments about dogs and children were inappropriate and in poor taste. No one, including Maher himself, ever said anything any differently. When you make jokes, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. That one didn't. I once made a joke here about the Special Olympics and some people here...

"Analysts said they expect the move to be quickly followed by other phone companies, which should be eager to avoid the trap of unlimited-use data plans. With no caps on consumption, data use could swamp wireless networks while revenue for the operators remains flat." Which is why, of...

Well, yeah, what's not to like?

Maybe, but I don't think so. There's certainly gonna be a list of things that someone, somewhere, can come up that they don't agree with him on, but truly controversial and way out there? No, I don't think so. Controversial makes news, and he doesn't make that kind of news very often. You don't...

It's just more fun for some people to live in a perpetual "freaked out" state. It's almost as much fun as trying to freak out others, like telling people absurd things like "1 or more states could decide to go after anything and everything that looks like a commercial vehicle even cargo vans"...

Good grief, people. Bill Maker's views are certainly not mainstream, which is what he was referring to in that quote. But the man himself is absolutely a part of the mainstream of American culture. At least the above quote was quoted in full and in context, so anyone with any semblance of...

Trying to be controversial or inflammatory is really not what he's all about at all. A compilation of inflammatory and controversial comments like the one above would be a short list, indeed. He really only crossed that line between "political satire" and "wholly unacceptable" that one time...

I'm right there with ya, Layout, but the argument (by many, including Congress) is that while insurance is intrastate, everything else "medical" is interstate, including medicine, medical equipment, and even medical degrees for doctors, nurses and other health care providers. What they're saying...

Well in that case I stand corrected, your first mistake was asking, "Who is this Maher guy any way?" Maybe, maybe not. Rush and Beck play towards fear, so fluff and unimportant may be good terms for them. But Bill Maher is neither unimportant nor fluff. He is important only insofar as he brings...

The problem is that you dismiss him as merely an "HBO comic." That's your first mistake. The second mistake was dismissing him as irrelevant and/or out of the mainstream because he's on HBO and most people don't have HBO. After he became well established as a comedian and actor, his Politically...

I have a cheap HP, a Photosmart C5180 All-In-One printer, scanner, copier, but it's a Photosmart so I can print hard copies of pictures, which comes in handy out where every now and then when people try to stick freight on the van which is already clearly damaged. 3 or 4 times now I've had...

I'm in a similar situation. I would watch him infrequently, bits and pieces, almost in a cursory fashion, and while a little "out there", he seemed to be able to back up what he was saying. But then he talked about something that I knew, and knew intimately. And I started paying closer attention...

Just out of curiosity, do you really think you can fully recharge a cranking battery after idling for 15 minutes? A laptop (most of them) draw very little power, so you really and truly are good for a few hours. About the same amount of time that you'd feel good about if you were to turn the...

Most printer ink cartridges are self-cleaning. Once a week or so, just print out a test page.

Yes, you are. You're stuck outside of the mainstream. And when you are stuck outside of the mainstream, you are, by definition, out of touch with both the mainsteam and those who are in it. Nothing wrong with that. But don't pretend your still in touch with most of American, 'cause you're not...
