There was one episode of Top Gear (the real one with Jeremy Clarkson) where they were discussing how only women named their cars. Turned out no men in the audience named theirs but some ladies did.
One had a car called Miles.

On the other hand, some men name theirs (nuff said, this is the Lounge, not the Soapbox!), and I have never heard of a lady doing that!!! 
I'm not even sure they WOULD be ladies if they did, acutally, but let's just leave it at that...

I keep away from the Southern United States as much as possible, but as I've been told by those who spent time there it is very common for men to name their cars.* My brother, as well, went to college in the Mid-Western part of the country. He felt compelled to name his car as everyone else around him did (his was a parody of their strange custom).
* So common that an asinine TV series "Dukes of Hazard" had their car named "The General Lee".

I finally solved the issues I was having with the Sony TV by performing a factory reset.
It seems that a bug in the software version that was on the TV could cause inputs to stop working.
I updated the TV to the latest version, which has a fix for the bug.
Technology can be a pain sometimes.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Not even close.
Sony realised that doing things to take ownership of people's property was wrong, and not only stopped doing it, but provided the means to undo the things that they had done.
ms has too many wumaos in the field, so they don't even hear the voices of the people they've offended, let alone try to make things right.

...only after a Microsoft employee found their rootkit, and proved that Sony's first "removal" was a farce.
If you think about it... MS may have learned this behavior from Sony!

So turning it off (all, all, all, the way off) and back on again actually worked?

What kind of saps do you take us for? Well, you're barking up the wrong tree, this time. Well, mulch as it pains me to say it, don't petal that stuff around here.
