So people are incapable of physically putting the key in the door and turning it these days?

Same story, but without the blacked out page and restricted access.

Odd that the link I put would be blocked in your region.

Hobie must have been reading the article through Google. If you go to news.google.com and type in "mysterious-force-blocks-car-remotes-in-yonkers app.com", you'll get the article on the Asbury Park Press website and be able to read it.

I use the Google trick all the time to read articles for free on the nytimes.com website.

I had gotten there via a post on Consumerist, which seems to be down at the moment. I just went ahead and linked what they were posting to. I did follow the link to APP do be sure it worked before I dumped here.

Man, the cops are out in force today.

I only did a little over an hour of driving total all day, and in that brief time I saw 16 cops, and the majority of them were somewhere in the process of pulling someone over/issuing a ticket.

Must be time to push to meet quota.

(That last bit is a joke. Please don't start on me about whether or not the quota thing is true, because I seriously don't care.)

Netflix and Hulu should merge -- best of both TV and movies -- but a mixture of red and green in a logo won't work. Need new colors.

Sounds like fund raising to me. A radio station here during rush hour would announce on air where cops were doing speed traps and call them fund raisers. That was until they got hit with a gag order to stop announcing them on the air.

I'd feel bad doing it, but I want to just take a day to go to Houston, just kind of drive around, eat some nice food, check a couple game stores, and get a massage or something...

Or, I could move there and start an underground dance club that focuses on playing Euro metal and pop metal, and maybe a bit of dubstep. I'd sell drugs from the bar, mostly liquid X and LSD. I'd employ women from eastern Europe as cage dancers, barmaids, etc, allowing me somewhat cheaper labor and giving them a good way to make it to the US.
I like making up bullshit.

Ah yes, now it's circle-jerking time.
