Deal with the hotel directly. Most places offer about the same prices that you find on Expedia / Orbitz / Priceline / etc. The hotel would rather you pay them all of the money, as opposed to the third party website paying less and keeping the mark-up. Plus it's a lot easier to make any...

From what I've read on this situation, the guy did make a mistake. He called the office of one of the higher-ups in Comcast's accounting department and started making threats about having them audited when he himself works for a firm that does financial consulting for Comcast. I'm not exactly...

The NFL sure reaps a lot of profits for being a nonprofit organization.

I would never expect any decent speeds on a hotel wifi network. Like the site says, most hotels just want to have some bare minimum connection so they can advertise free wifi, or at least available wifi, as one of their amenities.

Seconded. The Watergate scandal was over 40 years ago. Even when it was still relevant and people still cared, adding "-gate" to anything to make it sound scandalous was not clever or amusing. I wish the media would let that cliche die already.

Man, I thought it was annoying when a store I worked at long ago played the movie Armageddon on a loop for a few months. Seven years is nuts!

I don't get why people think that term limits would solve anything. You'd just get a new batch of corrupt politicians every few years, being even more corrupt so they can make their money quickly. It would be more productive to get rid of the money that's causing the corruption in the first...

So you're saying that when companies engage in practices with which you strongly disagree, and you feel are harmful to the industry and the consumer base as a whole, the proper response is to... shut up and give them more money?

I don't get it. If you want to invest that kind of time into digital art, why not use some actual 3-D modeling tools instead of minecraft?

If Linux natively supported some good games, I would run it in a heartbeat. I tried running Ubuntu for a few months, and enjoyed it (other than the fact I couldn't play most of the games I wanted). I'm not going to screw around and give myself a headache trying to run WINE. If I want to play...

I can't believe people complain about monthly subs for MMO's. Companies have to pay for server hosting, GMs, ongoing development, etc, and you're going to end up paying for it somehow. I would much rather pay a flat monthly sub than ridiculous amounts of micro-transactions or worse yet...

I know, right? Nowadays if you berate 3-year-olds until they cry, people all get on your case like you're doing something wrong. It's ridiculous!

I'm glad they're focusing on single player. The last thing the world needs is yet another multiplayer FPS. I miss a good single player campaign.

That's more accurate. I doubt most of the basement-dwellers would turn down anything with a heartbeat.... and even then.....

I would have no problem paying for Hulu Plus if it got rid of the commercials. I dropped cable because I got tired of paying money to spend 1/3 of my time watching advertisements.
