I've called the NBA, MLB, and NHL personally and all three leagues assured me that DUI's among players are only a problem among NFL athletes. After all [URL="http://youtu.be/06jF1EG8o-Q?t=49s"]why would they make that up[/URL]? :D

Now among [URL="http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/content/22-fra"]Fighting Robot Association[/URL] members DUI's are apparently a huge problem which is [URL="https://s3.amazonaws.com/kichink/stores_11395_60471_20140409195550_b.jpg"]FEic [/URL]becuz they build robots.

I hate what the TV companies are doing, and I really liked the thinking behind Aereo, but I have a hard time complaining about this...

Taking the over the air broadcasts in a city and providing them over the internet seems to violate the spirit with which free over the air broadcasting is required.

My rooting for aero was less about them not doing anything wrong and more about someone sticking it to the TV companies.

wait the concept of free ota broadcasts were so everyone could see them. putting it out over the web just expands that concept.

Ok , why is it that the folks who own the show be the ones who make that decision ?

whats funny is this was legal for radio (isn't that how mark cuban made his money?) back in the day.

you can still take an antenna, hook it up to a slingbox or helix server if that's your thing. good luck stopping that.

Probably couldn't. Nobody is making money on that.

Bro you wanna talk about itty bitty living space. Mah boy NDGT (Neil deGrasse Tyson) on Cosmos via Netflix just informed me that there are more atoms in mah eye than there are stars in the known universe. Like a billion, billion, billion atoms or somthing like that. Intel ain't got ish on me.

My timing is on fire these days. For a while I would check every other day for news about the Nvidia Maxwell GPU's. Until today I hadn't bothered with it for something like 4 or 5 months. Decided to search for it this morning and found out Nvidia revealed two new Maxwell GPU's yesterday.

Certainly don't need them by any stretch yet I must have them.
