My father-in-law has a pair for watching TV. They are pretty awesome. Great sound quality and you can wander around the house and still hear the TV without cranking it.

I agree with your thoughts. I guess the only good thing is my backlog of games to play is quite long, so I could probably last till 2015 or so. I'm also not happy about potentially buying the same game 2 or 3 times with their streaming gam

Did my first one last November. It definitely takes a toll on your body. As for training, invest in a high quality foam roller and get "The Stick". Learn to enjoy the pain you inflict on yourself with these devices. They will help, and i

Wow, I spent a lot of time with this game when I was eight or so. Brings back the memories. I'm pretty sure my Atari 800 is still in my parents basement. Just need to find a TV I can hook it up to...

I agree, very legit. The site is addictive, as I see great games from my past and just have to pick them up for only a few dollars. I figure I'll have time to play them in the future. Recently, they have also been creating Mac compatibl

Check out the book Flyboys, by James Brady. ( http://www.amazon.com/Flyboys-Story-Courage-James-Bradley/dp... ). It gives some interesting background on why Japan did what they did (their expansion) and it also documents the atrocities com

I agree, wife and I wash most of our dishes, she washes, I dry. It's a great time to let your mind wonder and think about problems. Mindless tasks like drying dishes and scooping the cat box give me a chance to actually think about things

I am amazed at how these modern day machines just don't seem that powerful when you use them. I remember using my Pentium 166 with I think 4MB of RAM, and sometimes I feel it was more responsive than my current Windows box or Mac with tons

Those all involved physical supply and distribution chains, each with their own added costs. They also represented an advancement in technology. Yes, there are costs with digital distribution, but I find it hard to believe they are greate

Our tortie of 14 years passed away last year. They can be really unique cats. She really only bonded with my wife and me. To everyone else, she was a sassy ball of attitude; but alone, she was the sweetest cat. No one believed us when w

> Android gave back the power back to the US carriers and the OEMs have skinned the OS which brings us back to the old days where you would never get an OS update after you purchase the device. It's J2ME all over again!

So, how are you enjoying your foray into Java EE? I may be making a similar move and would be interested in your thoughts. Things like what version of Java EE are you using, what pain points have you found, do you feel hampered by the jav

I may be in the process of updating a very neglected cakephp site. When I created the site, I had heard of Symfony but went with cakephp. I've not followed either framework for well over a year, so could you please give your reasons for S
