Film at Eleven

Usually, these guys are modding the firmware to increase horsepower. Sure, I suppose in a few cases it comes down to mechanical breakdown situations, but mostly these guys are trying to squeeze out a few more horses. Last fall, my brother's JD combine started spitting up pieces of main bearings, blew the turbo. Then the rest of the engine went. $25,000.00 for a new engine and a week of down time. Turns out he had chipped the engine and the mechanic said that he had replaced 5 engines in the past weeks for similar failures - all of them chipped. I asked my brother "Why on earth would you chip such an expensive piece of equipment?" He replied that he wanted the extra 10 horses.

Having said that, there is no way that JD should be able to control the owner of the equipment in the fashion that they do. If the farmers want to mod, they should be able to. Whether it's a good idea or not. It should be the owner's decision.

Accuracy is not that important to me. We all are pretty used to inaccuracies while texting now. What is important to me is the synchronization. If the captions follow the actual speech by more than just a bit, it makes it hard for me to follow as I lip read in addition to reading the captions. Lip reading is often ok by itself, but with movies and TV, the speakers face is not always pointed to the camera or there might be something covering the speakers lips. That's when cc comes in handy.

Amazon India lists a Lava V1 for about 7000 rupees. $102.00 U.S.

As it appears that is days are numbered now, I propose a toast to the best damn Dingo we ever had. We're going to be spending four years wishing Wheeler was back.

All this behavior, the hoovering up of seemingly inconsequential data, is all about Parallel Construction. LEOs seemed to be fascinated by the technique right now. The way things work these days is: Someone reports a crime. LEOs decide who did it. Having evidence is optional at this point. They sift through all the data they have on the selected person(s) until they arrive at some reason to make life really hard for that person(s). So hard, that the accused confess and plea to the originally reported crime. Case closed.

Sounds pretty typical of their behavior.

While the disclaimers were always quite clear, as noted in the summary, the reviews I read were all very positive. Want free stuff? Keep the review positive like the seller intended. You just can't avoid it. Better to allow it all.

My thoughts have been that these marketplace sellers think they are on EBay and need to get a positive on each and every sale. Maybe they do... on EBay. But on Amazon there is plenty of opportunity to leave feed back in the reviews and buyers like me look to those reviews primarily and consult the star rating later. Not everything is EBay, thank god, and these guys need to learn the difference.

I thought Cary Sherman passed on to his eternal reward a few years ago. Maybe it was just wishful thinking.

Just in case you missed it, James Comey has lied Congress, has lied to the American public and is not to be believed, listened to or repeated.

Just sayin'.

While the specific plans may not be actually feasible and the budget may bloat to 20 times its original estimate, there is this:

has redefined Internet access as a so-called universal service, while removing obligations for old universal services such as payphones

Something those of us in the US would do well to emulate.

Please, please, please, for the love of Gawd, hire a computer nerd to provide input on your TFA selection process. Then maybe, just maybe we wouldn't be subjected to stinking stupid crap posts like this that assault our intelligence.

Finally, Comey says something I can agree with. Now take your own advise Comey and go shut the fuck up.

We appreciate that you are trying to improve /. and keep it going. We really do. But you need to hire a computer nerd that will slap you up aside the head when you try to post up TFAs that don't fit.

Like this one.
