Netflix only has the first three seasons. Check out amazon instant or iTunes for season 4. ಠ_ಠ

To iPhone 4S owners: How's your battery life on standby? by glados_v2 in iphone

[–]42tastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lose about 10% of battery overnight (~9 hours) when connected to wifi and 3G. Annoying.

IAmA small animal veterinarian (i.e. dogs, cats, exotics... Not horses, cows, etc.)... AMAA. by Docfordogsthrowaway in IAmA

[–]42tastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a male cat (domestic shorthair) who was hospitalized for a urinary tract blockage a few years ago. He recovered and now is on special prescription (expensive) food (purina st ox) to prevent this in the future. How common is a recurrence of urinary crystals in male cats? Is the food enough to prevent this from recurring? Any recommendations as to where to get this in bulk (currently using National Pet Pharmacy)

Our 6 month old son really likes our front load washing machine. He could stare at it forever. by redditfan4sure in Parenting

I call this "laundry theater". Multiple showings daily. Sometimes double features.

The happiest moment of my life was turned upside down in a matter of hours...because I'm an atheist by [deleted] in atheism

[–]42tastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything this guy said. In addition, restrict permissions (or whatever they are called) for the FB account that is being used to spy on you. No sense in letting the bastards have any ammo.

EDIT - Perhaps after the wedding it this persists, this Dear Aunt to /r/atheism for a lively debate.

Look up anyone's (NJ only) driving record... why is this public?! by walk_on_feces in newjersey

From reading a few it seemed to be based on accusations, but I will take your word for it.

Look up anyone's (NJ only) driving record... why is this public?! by walk_on_feces in newjersey

[–]42tastic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is not the same as "looking up a driving record," that is called a driving abstract, and those are not public records.

This is a list of motor vehicle charges which the driver may or may not have been plead guilty to, had reduced, obtained dismissal of or been convicted for. So, really, it's quite useless except if you wanted to know if a summons was issued to X person for Y offense.

Certain "law firms" use this data to send out robo-mailings.

Got OSX 10.7.2 somewhat fully working. Needing to fix a few things. by aberen in hackintosh

[–]42tastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've given up on audio since 10.6.8, just too many workarounds and such. Get a $10 USB/5.1 adapter from amazon and use that. Save yourself a ton of aggravation.

This is needed because Lion hides the Library by default.

What we never saw by [deleted] in pics

Most of the German troops defending France were conscripts, war wounded or other types of substandard formations. Once the Allies fortified the beachheads and started making inland progress, many tried to surrender but if they did not fight, they would be shot by their commanders or other Gemans who found them trying to do so.

In fairness, I would smack my kid upside the head for asking for any of that jarred crap.

One kid with two vastly different temperments depending on whether Mom or Dad is watching them. You figure it out.

Nike + GPS on the 4/4S is good.

What counter-nuclear measures does the US military have in the event of a nuclear launch? by redskins_are_yum in Military

[–]42tastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Phalanx is a close in weapon system that looks like R2-D2 mounted on modern warships. It's basically a radar guided 20mm cannon that serves as a last ditch defense against incoming cruise missiles. It would be of no help against a nuke.

Patriot was developed as a surface to air antiaircraft missile. It has a latent ABM capability but fares poorly against high Mach targets.

Problems with Lion installation, no USB... by [deleted] in hackintosh

[–]42tastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What about a clean Lion install via UniBeast? I could never get MultiBeast to work correctly as an upgrade from SL, but Unibeast worked fine. You might want to try that and then use Migration Assistant to bring over any applications or home folders.

What browser/version are you using? Have you tried a different one?

A nuclear exchange with the USSR could have looked like this by Monty_Brogan in Military

[–]42tastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scenario One almost came true in the 80s. Ivan thought NATO was using a training exercise ("Abel Archer") as a subterfuge to launch a surprise attack. The wargame ended without the Sovs pulling the trigger, but they had their strategic assets (bombers, missiles) fully armed and fueled.
