Beverly Hills to forgive parking tickets for the homeless if they complete a 90-day rehab program. - CrankYanker Dec 3, 16:37 5
- What kind of rehab? -- nm - the liiojulu with j Dec 3, 16:41 3
  - "program aimed at getting individuals off drugs, teaching life skills and dealing with mental illness." -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 3, 16:42 2
    - usually they have a whole lot more $hit to deal with, even legally, than mere parking tix - zeitgeist Dec 3, 16:49
    - And what if they aren't homeless due to those reasons? -- nm - the liiojulu with j Dec 3, 16:43
- well they're not going to pay anyway - mr. squiggles Dec 3, 16:40
If it's List Season how about ST's list of words we want banned going forward. I'll start: "Apps." -- nm - Qale Dec 3, 16:37 1
- I nominate "MSNBC". Make it happen, Comcast. Make it happen. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 16:40
I may print this out and ask to hang it up at the local daycare center. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Dec 3, 16:26 7
- Just buy the damn poster! -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 16:38 4
  - He can't, he's a fiscal conservative. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 16:39 3
    - But he also advocates for property rights. Watch now as his head explodes. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 16:40 2
      - And he'll obviously feel too guilty about the self-inflicted dichotomy to put it on his health insurance, so it will all be out of his own pocket - Beryllium Dec 3, 16:42
      - Just *my* property. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 3, 16:41
- This reminds me of a lame plot point from ST:TNG ... Data was "unable to use contractions" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 16:33
- Your dumb. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 3, 16:31
for those of you in the biz, why is the Comcast/GE + NBC deal a huge deal? antitrust issues? or their intentions on how to use media to push products? - fedup Dec 3, 16:18 24
- Net neutrality plays a big part. Will Comcast favor NBC/Universal content on its pipes? -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 16:35 1
  - oh, i completely didn't even think of that. -- nm - fedup Dec 3, 16:36
- it's one of the three original broadcast networks. that alone makes it a huge deal -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 3, 16:21
- It's unclear how one of the most hated companies in the US will turn around a struggling TV network -- nm - con_carne Dec 3, 16:20 19
  - which one is hated? i thought both had pretty good reps. esp GE...but yeah, i was wondering if there was something sinister at play that ppl weren't - fedup Dec 3, 16:23 7
    - Both of them are horribly mismanaged, but Comcast has shittastic customer support on top of that. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 16:24 6
      - NBC plays 30 Rock and SNL digital shorts. Therefore, they are fine wih me. :) -- nm - con_carne Dec 3, 16:27
      - what? in school all we talk about is how fantastic the Welsh/Immelt philosophies are -- nm - fedup Dec 3, 16:26 3
        
        NBC the television channel, I meant. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 16:28 2
        
        interesting. then why are they keeping zucker as CEO? won't he just drive them into the ground again? -- nm - fedup Dec 3, 16:31 1
        
        I guess they'll find out. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 16:36
      - (The clear winner here is the Shineheart Wig Co., which is being spun off into a separate entity, untainted by either company) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 16:25
  - I wasn't sure how you were going to end that sentence. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 16:22
  - canceling Jay Leno, for starters -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 3, 16:22 9
    - No way. If anything, we see more crap like this. It's dirt cheap to produce. Comcast will immediately start by cutting costs. Less expensive dramas... - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 16:39 1
      - Its the 5'clock traffic cams, just in time for your commute, a whole hour of glacier paced parking lot action -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 3, 16:47
    - i thought leno wanted out of his show to pursue other interests... -- nm - fedup Dec 3, 16:24 6
      - Leno wanted out of his show the same way Elin was just trying to help Tiger out of the car. (nm) - musubi Dec 3, 16:25 5
        
        Can I use this joke on my show? -- nm - Jay Leno Dec 3, 16:27 4
        
        Twenty dollars. (nm) - musubi, professional comedy writer Dec 3, 16:29 2
        
        i think you're undercharging. $20 per letter. -- nm - fedup Dec 3, 16:30 1

        I haven't used hulu much, but I'm pretty sure you can start loading a clip, hit pause, and let it buffer the whole thing for smooth playback -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 16:17 2
