How did you not know this? Have you never seen Homeland or never seen Princess Bride?

Why did I wait so long to get a single serving blender?

getting pretty furious my wireless network and or the wireless adapter I spent 80 bucks on for my xbox isn't allowing me to watch Breaking Bad in HD because I'm 15 feet above the router.

first world problems

i would reset the router and modem

Was looking for a pin to reset it, then it loaded into HD. Took about 10 minutes going from one bar to HD, which is kind of weird. Think it's the 360 at this point.

i mean unplug both router and modem and start anew. like a phoenix

Ok, that made me laugh out loud The Comcast ones we have are a two in one type deal now. It's a router and a modem through Comcast in one box. I guess I could unplug it, not sure it would do anything though.

Wasn't being a dick, the like a Phoenix part I thought was really funny.

According to teh google, that number's way low. The National Safety Council puts it at 1.6 million texting while driving accidents per year and a Harvard Center for Risk Analysis study sez texting while driving accounts for 3,000 deaths and 330,000 injuries per year.

How do you price that? If I'm stopped at a red light, start typing a text, light turns green, I put my phone in my cup holder to finish it later and get broadsided by someone running the red the other way and die are they gonna classify that as texting while driving? If they look at my phone they are gonna see a half finished text that was started at the approximate time of the accident.

Not saying texting/smartphone use isn't a big problem, it most definitely is, but it just seems like it would be hard to quantify it, I mean even if I'm fine in the above scenario and they check my phone, they'll see a text sent at the approximate time of the accident and probably include it in the statistics.
