Comment Re:I have a solution! (Score 1) 186

Indiana used to have the county number in the plate number, followed by a letter and then up to 4 digits. They went away from this system a few years ago, now it's either a series of 3 letters 3 numbers or 3 numbers 3 letters. i did just today see someone with a custom plate with the old number format, I think back in the day the paid extra for a low number plate and wanted to keep that number. Never understood wanting to pay extra to have 11a60, instead of 11a1234. We still have the county number of the plate, but it's a small sticker in the corner.

Comment Re:Wired hasn't been a problem for a while (Score 2) 56

Yea, I was kind of confused as well, as I have been able to plug my Android phones to my computer back with Win7 and it just shows up as a device that I can access through the Windows Explorer. I guess the new part is the wireless part, which could be nice? But wired has always worked will to copy files from one device to the other when needed; it's not something I do daily, or even weekly so grabbing the cord and plugging it it has never been too bad. I use to have to pop the back off of the phone and remove the micro-SD card, put into an SD card adaptor to copy files to or from the computer.

i know this is anecdotal, but where I am in Indiana it was actually quite nice, only about 80 F, which for mid-July is a bit below what we would have. Last month we did get into the mid-90's for about a week but otherwise it's been not as hot as we would expect for the summer. I don't remember the last time it got to 100F here, but it's been a few years.

A lot of the journals (probably better journals, not some of the fly-by-night types) can be found in university libraries where you can read them. Way back in the day when I worked at the state university library as a student worker, they had the previous years journals bound and on the shelves. The current years were in another area that they could be read. So it's not like someone couldn't find some of these journals.

Comment Re:Seems like a terrible plan (Score 1) 56

Oh god, the horror. It's always a nightmare to have someone simply read each and every slide verbatim and not add any content at all not on the slide, hopefully with the opportunity to ask a question at some point. But with this just watching a video of someone drone on reading only the content of the slides would be even worse. Probably for something could have been a two sentence email but someone wanted a meeting with a presentation but with video!

That's the next kind of printer I'm getting. The current Canon printer I have uses the separate cartridges for each ink color, which is great when printing a bunch of photos with a lot of one color; with the tri-color cartridges I felt like I was throwing away a tone of ink because the magenta, or something, ran out. I doo like the looks the super tank versions where you can top of a color if it's getting low before printing stuff.

Comment That's what they came up with? (Score 4, Funny) 151

Seems like they could have come up with a better response, something like :I would do that, but that sounds kind of boring to me. What else you got?" Give a bit of snark and cheek, make it sound like that they are trying to portray this as, some kind of intelligence.
