Fewer residential broadband customers because the Middle Class continues to be eroded down into the working poor strata. We may even have college-level technical degrees, but less and less money as we get older; a perverse twist on the American Dream, brought about by the Citizens United winners and their legislative prostitutes.
Everyone assuming these are accidents instead of trial runs. Two drones, each carrying a titanium bar, targeting an engine on ascent would make for a very sad day.
I'm a bit surprised this hasn't happened yet on US air bases in Afghanistan or Iraq, but on the other hand, targeting civilians is more 'terrifying'.
Here's hoping it never happens, but I can't see how.
Of course, it will instantly be used to justify even more destruction of our rights, privacies, and religious tolerance. The powers that be are delighted to still run (and profit from) the Bin Laden playbook and finally bring about the West vs. Islam war he desired.
He'll be spending 7 years in a cushy resort while *working* for the FSB. His Cayenne is probably already there waiting, along with a 'companion' or two.
If someone believe Putins' Russia would actually punish hackers instead of rewarding and employing them, that person is even too stupid to try and sell them the Brooklyn Bridge.
In the Right Wing view of economics, the millions of Americans in your exact position are supposed to take an 'early exit', freeing up resources for them and their dim-witted hell spawn. I mean, they set up the circumstances, but the innocent folks crushed by it are required to take that final last step.
Yet, the real issue is that the coal burning plants are closing left, right, and sideways. Last year, Coal accounted for around 30% of America's electricity. And at this rate of dropping, coal will account for about 15-20% in another 2 years (they expect about 1/2 of the plants to close over the next 2 years).
Leaving behind shoddy dams brimming with coal ash, chocked full of heavy metals to leach into the ground and water ways
But don't worry; the taxpayers will always be there to foot the bill, so the former coal and power millionaire CEOs can sleep worry-free in their mansions.
When I started eating this way I weighed 175 lbs. Within 2 months I had dropped 15, and it has stayed off for 3 years - effortlessly - by eating a high-fat, low-carb diet of the best foods I can get. No grains, no grain products, very little to no sugar. It's not hard. I am in fantastic health.
I'd love to see your grocery bills before and after this change, adjusted for inflation. High carbs = cheap food, thus the seeming contradiction of obesity even in low-income households.
Advocates of this stuff always remind me of Oprah, et al breezily giving advice along the lines of "just have your personal shopper and chef..."
The real reason is the wet-dream of the power-hungry world wide: to track the 'little-people' financial transactions in real time. It will always be justified by the efficient and equitable application of taxation, but the real motivation is tracking the activities of the Enemies of The State (AKA, the Power Elite). But make no mistake: the One Percent will be exempt from scrutiny as they always have been.
If you wait pop music out, you'll soon find not only will you not be tempted to buy any of it, you won't even want to steal any of it. Other than the Greatest Hits of Get Off My Lawn, that is.
A map I saw last year (actually a slide show through a few decades) showed the current most common occupation in ~45 US states: Truck Driver.
Depressing enough to think that's what's left of the US nowadays, but what the hell happens in the next 5 to 10 years as even those jobs are eliminated (all the while told by the Puritan ruling class we're bums if not employed)?
From what I've read here and there, the PM of Iceland did not officially submit his resignation, but termed it more of a temporary 'break'. Given what a manipulative, deceitful greed pig he is, I wouldn't be shocked if that's what he did (or didn't).
(except for all your data and metadata backdoor copied to the hivemind of Facebook). Why do you think they bought WhatsApp? To ensure they could NOT sell the product (users) to the customers (advertisers and TLAs)? Please. I wouldn't trust Zuckerburg farther than I could throw his precious snowflake (who is doomed to grow up to be an abject nightmare).
I see a lot of comments like "I would use Ubuntu but Unity sucks" or "I was an Ubuntu fan until Unity ruined it." If Budgie-Ubuntu becomes an official flavor, that will bring the number of officially supported DEs up to 7:

All language is just a collection of common usage. It follows its own evolutionary process. What was correct in the past or present will not, and should not, necessarily be correct in the future.

So we're, say, about five years away from no longer having any way of knowing what we're shown is true or total fiction...
Then what?

But it had fatal flaws: not nearly enough real-time tracking nor a robust advertising bot.

People are still using Ubuntu?
Is anyone else also not able to Disable Advertising on Slashdot now? To paraphrase Rainier Wolfcastle, "The checkbox, it does nothing!"
Potwin is only about 20 miles outside of Wichita which is in Southeast Kansas.
I guess we're supposed to be content there wasn't also yet another fucking Wizard of Oz reference.

Yes, there is.
They have it in North Korea.

With every action, the FBI reminds us why they never wanted to rename their HQ.
Ahh, those heady feelings one has during the Embrace phase...
OK

That is a huge piece of back window ('m guessing) glass. If it doesn't break on it's own, at least you could cook a pot roast at it's focal point.
