  It might not be outright illegal outside of DC (probably subject to state/local laws), but it's definitely considered "disrespectful" to the flag everywhere (of course only to people who are aware of that kind of thing). Which basically gives you...
• Commented on Jimmy John's Sandwiches Are Not Handcrafted In Liberia
  Not sure if it's illegal outside DC (hence potentially illegal), as it could potentially be defined at state/local levels... But it's definitely universally disrespectful. Seems like a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. They used a "stylized"...

• Commented on EA Makes Video Game Manuals An Endangered Species
  I always read manuals. Every page. There's often techniques/tricks/rules that you would never figure out. It seems particularly crazy for sports games which have become ridiculously complicated over the years. A good tutorial isn't bad but it's hard to refer...
• Commented on Woman Sues Starbucks For Allegedly Throwing Tea At Her And Shouting "Catch"
  Pro tip to the "burn victim": If an orchestra conductor gives you some balm to put on the burn, DO NOT DO IT. You should only let a doctor put a balm on. No one can tell what a balm's...

• Commented on Kay Jewelers Sends Wedding Rings To China For Repair: Will They Ever Come Back?
  Diamonds are "Hard" which is really a geological term about what materials scratch other materials and has little to do with resistance to breakage. Diamonds are actually fairly brittle....
• Commented on Can My Co-Workers Rightfully Steal Mail I Have Sent To Work?
  Exactly. If the policy is that you may not receive personal mail at work, it does not mean their remedy is they just get to steal that personal mail. They can yell at you, fire you if you do not...
• Commented on Madden Video Game Will Come Out Whether Or Not There's An NFL Season
  In other words, it's not the spoiled millionaire baby players not wanting to play, it's the spoiled Billionaire baby owners that don't want to play nice and share. Got it....
• Commented on T-Mobile Puts Sidekick Out To Pasture, Annoys Former Customer
  How old is your Sidekick? I can't really see them giving you a free Android phone with no contract extension...what were you expecting from end-of-life tech? It's a shame the Sidekick got such a bad reputation. Everyone believes the iPhone...

• Commented on Is The 30-Year Mortgage On Death Row?
  We had a 30, also...recently refinanced to 15. After rolling closing costs in and pulling a few thousand out for some repairs/improvements, my payment stayed the same. I basically knocked 9 years off my term just by signing some papers....

• Commented on Apple Announces iPad 2
  I agree that $500 is too much for a tablet - any tablet. But other than my own personal opinion as a cheapskate, as far as what the going rate is for a tablet.... Galaxy Tab: $500+ iPad: $500+ Dell...

  No touchscreen, worthless cramped keyboard are two things... Netbook is a total waste. Get a real laptop or get a tablet...any tablet. If I need to do real work, I grab the laptop. If I'm sitting on the couch doing...

  The old Apple ][ generation pretty much has moved to linux. They were the tinkerers, the hackers, the fixers. The current generation is understandably not interested in linux...a cynic might say it's because they want status or whatever but even...

• Commented on Why Banks Threatening To Limit Debit Card Swipes To $50 Is Horrible, And Hooey
  There's one other key difference: With a credit-card-logo "check card" that doesn't require a PIN, someone can just steal the card or number and clean you completely out. Yeah technically you're only liable for $50, but you're still completely f'ed...
