QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) Heck, Hillary is so corrupt, she got kicked off the Watergate Commission. His rambling during that joke was so weird. He just kept saying the government was corrupt and Hillary must be too.

Yes, make it even harder to get to!!! WOOOOOOOOO

Be careful with your lunch. I've bit the inside of my mouth horribly under novocaine

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 09:28 AM) I meant the Echo and the Dot. My bad. I think I'll put the Echo on my XMas list and see if my parents bite. Amazon has the refurb for about 40-50 bucks cheaper

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 09:27 AM) I think the models are the echo and the dot, right? I have the full size echo. One thing I was disappointed to learn last weekend is that they won't sync playing the same music on multiple devices on the same network. Their integration with Sonos is whats going to carry the torch there.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 08:52 AM) Do you guys have the expensive model or the echo? Is there a different besides size? I got the full fledged echo as a gift. The dot has a smaller speaker and the tap doesnt work by voice.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 09:30 PM) Play for #1 pick now season in the toilet anyway. Figured that was the plan weeks ago.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 06:33 PM) I think you are correct, but I'll say as someone coming from a legal background, I am shocked that they've even pushed through what they have already. My suv has some features that I would have thought were years away from a regulatory standpoint. The thing has cameras all over it that work to intervene in your driving should they determine an accident is probable. Now granted, it isn't anywhere close to what Tesla is stating in this press release, but really fairly advanced autonomy features. Auto braking, auto steering correction, traffic congestion assistance, etc. You literally enable the car to drive for you when in a traffic jam. It will speed up and slow down all on its own just based on what the vehicle in front of you is doing. I am almost afraid to try some of this stuff. My car drives for me as far as touching a pedal goes, but if some day it fails or the software freezes and I hit someone badly, whose to say its not the manufacturers fault? The more automated this gets, I feel like the legal issues are worse.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 08:07 PM) I love mine, use it daily for music/podcasts, news/weather, control my Philips Hue lights and it's the best alarm clock you can own. Only problem is these f***ing Echo commercials they're running on the TNF Twitter broadcast keep triggering it. I love mine as well. There are so many things you can do with it when you really dig in. You can also change the name from Alexa so it doesnt get activate by the commercial...

QUOTE (brett05 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) Wallace was outstanding. The previous moderators should have been taking notes. Hillary revealing our time to react concerning nukes isn't getting serious play. Sad. Our reaction time is a disaster, total disaster. We could have tremendous nuclear response time.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) Which is very likely a snapshot of what his behavior would be if he were actually elected to office. Nothing would get done, and his plans would fail and he would blame everyone else.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 01:30 PM) WRONG. Those people just like Trump so much they're repeatedly donating. Besides, why is Hillary HACKING Trump's website?!?!?! What really kills me is how little these people know about hacking and how most breaches happen.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 11:58 AM) For Comcast or Layer3? I worked for Comcast for 2 years. It was awesome not getting a cable or internet bill ever. Layer3, they are essentially a startup tech company and thats my forte

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) I just assumed you could use any high speed internet. Does it say Xfinity specifically. That is what I have so it wouldn't be a big deal. In Chicago comcast is required at the moment. Its what I have too and I am interested in the tech, BUT only if Comcast and those assholes dont start charging for data. It's funny I actually got a call from a recruiter that was looking for someone to run their entire salesforce in the central area of the country and thats what sparked my interest.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 04:49 PM) Anyone know anything about Layer3 TV? So I've been looking into this. It may be a great solution, however I am leary about the need to pipe everything through Comcast internet

Part of the reason we like it in our historical district in Oak Park is the preservation of these types of houses. In other towns further west they are just tearing down every single one.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 09:42 AM) This is all coming much faster than I think anyone anticipated...it will be interesting to see how this does on the market. The safety is the obvious selling point, along with the convenience, but some people, like myself, truly enjoy driving. I suspect there would be times when I would appreciate not having to actually drive, but for the most part, I find driving to be quite an enjoyable experience and a break from the other stressful parts of my day. Long trips on the highway, especially when you are exhausted would be nice. But I also think Law Enforcement at some point is going to have to figure out if its entirely legal.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 09:58 AM) Surprised the usual Trump faithful aren't hear bragging about how well he did in the bot-fueled, post-debate instapolls. LOL Kellyanne did, after she took her own poll of "people around her"

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 09:25 AM) Governor Pence would force you to have a funeral for your living son. And jail his wife

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 08:56 AM) Someone on FB today posted a picture about the process of late term abortions. It depicts a Dr pulling it out of her vagina and, seriously, the baby breaking into pieces like glass. I know nothing about the process but I assumed it would be done like a C section. That would get a person hidden on there real quick. Jesus. Late terms that are done because of emergency medical issues are surgical since the person is already in the hospital. Not sure what that was.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 08:44 AM) Do you know anything about this topic at all? Talk to some women or read some stories about why someone would feel forced to do something like this. These are awful situations where either the mother or fetus' life is in imminent danger. Women don't go around, willy nilly, doing late term abortions. They are quite rare. No, he doesnt. Technically that 9th month abortion Trump talked about where babies are ripped from the womb is called birth.....

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 03:32 PM) Got to ride in a colleague's Challenger SRT Hellcat. 707 HP of insanity. Waiting for the Jeep GC Hellcat.....

70, 80, 90 percent. Disaster

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 12:41 AM) Cool that you like her. I don't think she's close to being clean though. She is as dishonest and conniving as they come. If I believed her quotes tonight on the middle class and saving Medicare, etc., I'd feel better. I dont believe a word she says though. Also about Obamacare. I mean Obamacare is a total disaster and a person in favor of Obamacare the disaster is gonna save social security and medicare? Hmmm. You are even starting to sound like trump. Tremendous.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 11:19 PM) And that's why this country is so overweight. I've decided to abstain from voting for president this election, just gonna leave it blank. My attempt at a silent protest, although irrelevant in the grand scheme. Illinois will be blue.
