  1. One of the few things I like about modern computer: fast, compatible and great-looking printers. So nice to not have to deal with drivers and which software supports which model of printer.

      I thank God every time I plug in a printer and remember that I no longer have to use the parallel port. USB is the greatest and least appreciated innovation of modern times.

      It's exactly like the old show, but with the occasional minor celebrity cameo.

  4. The mediocre reviews of "Alien: Covenant" make me realize that, despite all the marketing hype whenever an original director returns to a genre or franchise they pioneered, it hardly ever seems to work. Except for George Miller ("Mad Max: Fury Road") and Sylvester Stallone ("Rocky Balboa" and "Rambo"), how many have succeeded in even matching the quality of their earlier work?

      Didn't Titanic win the oscar for best picture that year? Amazing how few of the winners from the 1990s are remembered today at all.

  5. Why does EA have the rights to make SW video games now and not Disney interactive?

    1. 4Ks

      4Ks

      Because Disney Interactive does not exist anymore. They've shut down and all of their licenses are being doled out to other publishers, including EA.

      Ebay charges a pretty hefty fine when sellers do that, so at least they didn't get off totally scot free.

      In that case, choose carefully and make sure it's shipped in a padded box.

      300 has a brighter, more colorful screen. Definitely go for that one. Also, don't buy online unless you want to risk shipping damage - these things are shockingly fragile.
