Excellent Service, Poor Video Quality

So, when I checked into my hotel in Taiwan, I turned on the TV,
and there was a porn paused on the screen. I un-paused it and it
played for 3 seconds before stopping and taking me back to the main menu.

A few hours later, I found the previous guest's comment card. Jim O'Sullivan
rated everything 'excellent', except he found the quality of the pay
movies to be 'poor'.

It's all on computers now!

I took my car in to get inspected yesterday (one month late: I keep this up I only pay for 12 inspections every 13 years!) and was surprised to discover that they don't do any emissions test any more. Knowing that MA is as anal about car emissions as CA, I thought I'd look into it. Turns out, my car is fancy enough to do the test itself. The guy just hooked his computer to my car and the car told him everything was OK. It's too bad, I kinda liked when they put the car up on the dynamometer and reved it up. It was faster though.
