Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I still have cable, though I'd love to cut it. I don't see what canceling the TiVo subscription has to do with a land line though? Mine is hooked up to Ethernet, but before that I had a wireless adapter.

I have an interview in about 90 minutes. I'm slowly doing some prep work. I've got a handful of questions to ask. I've got my story for why I'm interested in the role. I think I've got a story about a weakness down.

I had an ancient TiVo that updated via land line.

We haven't had cable for ... 8 years? Something like that. The only reason I miss it is because I want to be able to watch Penny Dreadful as it airs.

I think I went to VOIP before I stopped using the TiVo.
Oh, come on Yelp. Not one of the "Best Restaurants in Suisun City" is actually in Suisun. That's not right.
ETA: y'all want to tell me where to go for lunch? I've got Italian, Greek, Thai, several Mexican options, a couple of diners and a couple of Bar & Grills.

I probably should take this to Tech, but since I'm shopping for a new Mini Mac now, I'm wondering how much of a difference in performance I'd get between:
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
vs.
2.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Because Apple seems to think that's worth $300.

No difference. What you really want to do is max out the memory.

And don't pay Apple to max out the memory, because they overcharge for it; buy your memory from somewhere like Small Dog or NewEgg and install it yourself.
(Wait. It's been 4 years since I last bought a Mac; is that still true?)

Unfortunately, if you're buying a recent vintage Mac Mini, the RAM is not upgradeable.
