I'm happy enough with the wii streaming and I just watch hulu on the laptop. Heard good things about the roku but havent necessarily needed one yet.

We have a 32" LCD and use wii and xbox, or plug the laptop straight into the tv with just an hdmi cable, but they now make blu ray players and other devices you can stream content directly through. whichever way you do it it's very seamless.

I'm in downtown too. We pay $56 a month for FiOS internet (split with roommate) and it's much faster and more reliable than comcast's $60 plan. Got a digital antenna for basic channels, with crystal clear reception being so close to new york city. We have no use for cable since we can stream Netflix and Hulu straight to the TV. Why watch shows only when they are scheduled to air on cable?

i do something similar but i keep all of my money in savings and just transfer a little at a time each week into checking to use as spending money. someone tried using my card in georgia and only got away with about 10 dollars worth of chinese food before their next transaction was declined and i got a phone call from the bank.

this post office rules. im usually only there to pick up something when they leave a notice, i go at 8am and theres no line and they find my package in 2 minutes and politely hand it to me. a few times i came to ship something, the line was long granted it was saturday but they were polite and helped me with everything.

Their food is ok, but I'm too tired of their service to ever go back. I came in on a Tuesday night in the summer while it was dead. There were 3 waitresses leaning against the bar, I stood by the door said I wanted an outside table, one of them said they'll be right there to give us menus. 15 minutes later I looked in to see them still leaning against the bar and waived goodbye to them while they asked why I was leaving. Then got delicious food at wild fusion in a matter of minutes.

I'm almost mail free. I seriously check my mailbox once a week and immediately throw out everything in it. Very rarely do I receive a piece of mail that isn't marked "Current resident," or "Our 'friends' at..." All of my bills are automatically paid online now with no paper statements. I signed up for this thing that stops creditors from sending me offers for up to 5 years. And I usually get all of my online shopping shipped UPS or Fedex. If I can bribe my mail carrier into not delivering junk mail to me I'll be fully independent from my mailbox.

i dont even have to take the smartlink card out of my wallet, just tap my wallet on there and walk through. the metro card is so thin so i dont mind having both. but when i ride the subway i have to actually remove it from my wallet and swipe it. come on nyc it's almost 2011!

During non peak hours no one pays for the light rail anyway. Imagine if they had a smartlink card option, that wouldn't bog down people boarding and you'd be able to use it at the path too.

Well, path and the subway use the same fare method. Even if there were no free transfers it would have been so easy to use the same fare methods the path uses. The light rail is pretty much a brand new system, they could have done it right from the start. Something simple like that would cause a lot more people to move to other areas of JC making them nicer areas to live in.

that's what the light rail is for i guess. but why doesn't it take metrocards or offer a free transfer to the path? i feel that would greatly increase it's usefulness.

all they really need to do is just pave it, and then leave it alone. the pot holes are horrendous when you get off the turnpike. i live on columbus right now but thankfull im moving to a different neighborhood before this becomes a free for all.

ive been walking past that new liquor store on my way to work for the past six months they've been working on it. certainly didn't pop up over night. they also own another liquor store by journal square so that probably made their building process easier.

So you're clearing up the facts that you made up? Ok. Did you read my post?

Obviously you read that somewhere else. My landlord even says he doesn't blame for blaming them, and they still got into their garage just fine. "Potentially inconveniencing the owners"? Really? No. They could have called to get it towed if they were so inconvenienced but they werent and vandalizing out of rage is inexcusable. And also found out he has security cameras which will prove everything that happened.

ive only seen them consistently leave rude, passive-aggressive notes on people's cars, but i haven't had any run-ins myself. yeah maybe im just pointing fingers but this type of act usually only happens if someone was provoked. like if a guy parks across 4 spots in a parking lot, that would provoke someone to key it. if this is just a guy that likes scratching things why was just my car scratched and not the other five or six adjacent cars i looked at this morning? and it was just the driver's side like they wanted me to see it as soon as i walked up to it to get in. im not making a HUGE jump to conclusions, it just seems rather premeditated. keying someone's car is a method of revenge.
