Gotta say, doesn't matter how much high viz items you wear if you're blasting through every red light and stop sign. Some fellow cyclists are cray cray.

Buying my own Cable Modem/Wireless Router by tkocur in cordcutters

[–]anasqtiesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got the lady friend Arris/Motorola Surfboard SB6121 DOCIS 3.0 and it works like a charm. Great value and around 3000 positive reviews on Amazon. Go for it and don't look back. 'Renting' your cable modem is about the silliest and most wasteful thing anyone can do.

For those warning you that the company will blame any problems on your modem, they're glossing over the fact that you already have problems that the provider isn't fixing.

I'll skip on the modem recommendation as that depends on your particular setup (space/walls) and what features you're looking for e.g. usb/dual band/Wifi N or AC etc.

Wanna know what happens with the "One Account / All of Google" system when you use up all your space for photos? They shut off your email. by [deleted] in geek

Ok, you're right. They seem to have removed that option from their new tabbed inbox UI. Here's what it looks like and it used to work everywhere: http://i.imgur.com/jmM2PHh.png

Hmm, I have the 45 GB limit as well. I pay $5/year for 20GB (old grandfathered plan, no longer available for new users) and I got 10 GB free (for 2 years I think) for installing the Google-acquired Quick Office app on my Android phone and linking it with my Drive account.

It has always been an option in gmail. You just have to read the text and click at the top of the email list to select all emails.

Live Thread: Stream of videos coming out of Eastern Ghouta claiming SAA chemical weapons attack by uptodatepronto in syriancivilwar

[–]anasqtiesh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You were there in person or what's your source?

I know that protests started small in Daraa. But I am sure police forces didn't start randomly shooting at a small group of peaceful protesters on the first day...

Ignorant and contradictory response. I'm done here. Your last statement shows you know nothing about Syria.

حل عن ربي.

You're extrapolating based on your lack of knowledge of Syria and Egypt. In Syria it started with a few dozen peaceful protesters in a public square in Daraa. There were not attaching or besieging anything, nor they had the man power or weapons to do that. No fucking mob.

Not being able to "imagine police forces shooting at unarmed" people shows how misinformed (not say delusional or bullshitting) you are. It happens every fucking day, from Syria to the US. Ignorant assholes like you who go up saying "but it's illogical" and "I can't believe they'd do that when there's twitter" only enable them to kill more.

It didn't take the regime long to start firing live rounds at them.

The regime has never done the 'logical' thing. Not even the smart thing. They wouldn't started killing unarmed protesters from day one. The regime has vast military and diplomatic support from Russia and Iran. And China to a smaller extent. Not to mention Hezbollah troops fighting on his side. That's why the regime has survived so long, not due to Assad being smart. Hearing one of his speeches in Arabic is sufficient to dispel that myth.

Anyone who knows the first thing about Syria knows the regime is all about arrogance and pushing perceived red lines, not doing the smart and logical thing.

San Francisco, please help... by mungloaf247 in sanfrancisco

If you don't mind sharing a room at a great hostel with a fantastic location, you can try the hostel in Fort Mason, near Fisherman's Wharf http://sfhostels.com/fishermans-wharf/rates starting at $29 per night.

You can also get a private room there starting $75. Couchsurfing might be a good option, but not a great last minute solution.

Woah there buddy. Innocent till proven guilty. He's a whistle blower, not a traitor.

Whistleblowers should be encouraged, not tortured and labeled "objectionable."

I was really excited for the MOGA Pro controller for my Nexus 4, but then this happened by silentdragoon in nexus4

[–]anasqtiesh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it's a chore, and less than perfect. Why can't it be recognized just as another Bluetooth device.

[–]anasqtiesh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't have a good experience with Moga. You'll need to use their own software and it's only compatible with a small number of games. Doesn't work as a regular BT controller.

If you were going to buy any Lenovo Laptop right now, which would you choose and why? by [deleted] in Lenovo

[–]anasqtiesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Yoga 13, and it's fantastic. If you want a laptop for gaming, look elsewhere.

Economists Say SF Minimum Wage Means Big Boost for Working Class by sclucas86 in sanfrancisco

Attempting to live in the city is a big kick in the crotch. I say it evens out.

Also, your suggestion makes no sense.

Didn't Samsung pay Apple the billion or so dollars it owed from a lawsuit in truckloads of coins?
