Furious Driver Takes Out 50-Strong Cycle Pack

So this is sad. A guy’s house gets broken into and his Xbox 360, Powerbook. etc. gets stolen. The police are absolutely worthless, but the guy does some legwork on his own.

Is there really anyone out there (besides Time Warner) who thinks this is a step in the right direction? As we get more and more streaming and large file download services from the likes of TiVo, Amazon, Netflix and Apple (iTunes – both rentals and purchases of standard and high def) among others, Time Warner’s paying for the bandwidth you use will only result in castration of these services and mass exodus away from Time Warner’s services. I really hope their idea dies a horrible and quick death.

You pay a fee (usually monthly or annually) to pay for the administration of the HOA by a third party. But man, is our current one ever fucking worthless!

A few months ago, we had our first meeting with the HOA rep. Dude was totally unprepared and unfamiliar with our community. He had been handed the community from someone else in their company.

Oh man, this is funny, but so sad and true at the same time. I wish we had half the days off that they do. Plus, I wish America were paying my gas bill.
