This dust ignited in the Chinese manufacturing facility, turning it into a crematorium [computerworld.com] that killed four people
What are you, some kind of Commie? Nothing should be allowed to get in the way of the God-given right to make a buck! Hey I sound like Trump's Twitter feed.
Yeah, those are now four new job positions that have been created! Thank God China did away with those job-killing regulations!
I'd like to see the stats, but my bet is the vast majority of those 4 million users can't get "broadband" or anything much faster than 1.5mbps. Steaming 1 video with that speed is ok at best. Streaming multiple videos is impossible.
And if you absolutely hate Comcast, sometimes you're stuck with a slower connection even in the city.
But the big reason why I stick with their DVD service is selection -- I can get just about any title I want. I hate the online streaming services, they all, ALL have shitty selection, and I have no little intention of signing up with several services just to get a selection that is still just halfway-decent. And I have NO intention of letting online streaming selection dictate what I'll watch.
Since I set up a home theater, clear picture and 5.1 sound is important to me, so streaming is still making sacrifices in the viewing experience for the sake of getting what you want to watch RIGHT THEN. Being able to watch instantly is certainly a good feature, no doubt about it, but it's something I only sometimes need.
If this is a NEW app, then it proves exactly the opposite of the article headline. Indeed, Netflix HAS FORGOTTEN its dvd subscribers and has only just now suddenly remembered them after a long period of neglect. (psssst . . . hear that Apple?)
I don't know, I see new titles in the DVD/BluRay selection all the time, my DVDs have arrived on time, and if any are damaged, they send a replacement immediately without waiting for me to return the old one.
The only thing missing was an app, so I wouldn't say I had been "forgotten."
Can you give me some details about this Russian invasion you are talking about? Like for example the date it happened, how many divisions were involved and for how long the fighting between the Russian soldiers and the Ukrainian army went on? Is there any video of this invasion? I mean we now live in a time when everything is recorded by the cellphone of someone, so surely there should be thousands of recording of this invasion, right?
I'm asking all this because last time I checked, what happened was a referendum, not an "invasion".
Military intervention does not require ordered ranks of men in uniform and insignias, chanting that they are the Russian army. We have many reports and pictures of "little green men" or "polite people" as the Russian defense minister called them, in the Crimean conflict, men in new camouflage and weapons issued to soldiers of the Russian Federation. I believe it was Suomen Sotilas which first published a breakdown of the weapons those soldiers used. These were Russian soldiers and Russian military equipment with no insignias on them to cause confusion about their origin in Ukraine during the operation. Putin first said that they were local militia or "self-defense groups" who seized weapons from the Ukrainian army, but later admitted that they were Russian special operations forces. They set up checkpoints in Sevastopol and Simferopol and occupied the Crimean parliament. Shortly after, the parliament announced a referendum on secession, which was "secured," of course, by the occupation. The US DoD afterwards published satellite photos showing Russian forces shelling the Ukrainian military across the border after the referendum.
Andrey Illarionov, a former Putin adviser turned critic, stated two weeks before the annexation crisis that Putin had a plan to destabilize Ukraine to implement a military operation to impose political control over the Ukraine. YMMV over the words of a defector.
Insurance is an agreement you enter into and pay for, and if you get into an accident that is your fault, your rates go up. Health insurance is a pretty bad racket, and the entire method of how we handle health care needs a redesign. Obamacare's biggest sin is that this is not something it addressed.
Yes. I have 200+ DVD and Blu-Ray movies and I knowingly circumvented and format shifted to network storage
But that's legal as long as you still have the DVD/Blu-Ray. What is not legal is someone else doing it for you and sending you the copy. It is expressly legal for you to do this yourself, but of course there's a catch -- it's not usually legal to sell tools for the purpose of circumventing access controls. So no one can legally help you.. but you can do it yourself.
I don't know.. it's a cute scene, and it's well acted, but otherwise GGR really is the case study in how NOT to operate a company and treat employees. I feel that most people who quote this scene are totally on board with Blake here and treat it as a capitalistic fantasy to look up to.
The impotent morons running the Republican side in congress (McConnell with Boehner, then Ryan) have been too scared to do anything to stop him
Are you talking about some bizarro version of the US? Aside from that over-compromised crap of Obamacare, what exactly has he been able to get through? Were you asleep when Congress blocked every move, going so far as to leave a Supreme Court vacancy for a year?
Doubts about the yellow cake came early, with investigations by both the CIA and the State Department finding the yellow cake documents to be forgery. The IAEA also judged the documents to be false. That didn't stop Colin Powell from giving his little speech at the UN (which killed his career) or GWB from slipping it into the 2003 State of the Union address.
Yes because everyone ever appointed to government will lie according to you. If Putin himself admits Russia was involved would you admit you were wrong or are you merely incapable.
Some people still think Osama bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11 even though he eventually released a tape admitting it was more successful than they had planned.
Considering there was no aggression from Russia, I'd say the sanctions were unjustified.
Russian soldiers invaded the Crimea. They also gave material and weapons support to the rebels, who used one of the anti-air launchers the Russians brought with them to blow up a civilian airliner. They then held a sham election in an area under military occupation to try to give the whole mess a veneer of acceptance.
To be honest, if I were in Putin's place, I would have given the finger to Ukraine, cut all gas supply to them and simply let Ukrainian freeze to death.
As would have been Putin's right, of course, if he wanted to protest Ukraine's internal politics.
In 2003, the United State of American invaded two sovereign countries, Afghanistan and Iraq, and occupied them.
Afghanistan attacked the US, making that quite clear when they refused to give up Bin Laden. The Afghanistan invasion was entirely justified and was supported by the international community. None of the territory of Afghanistan became part of the United States.
I can't defend the invasion of Iraq though. It was based on bad intelligence and the Bush administration's willful cherry-picking of intelligence to fit the narrative they already wanted to believe. Yet even with that, no territory of Iraq has become part of the United States.
Russia invaded Ukraine for the purpose of seizing territory permanently.
Here's the magical thing about Trump compared to Hillary: Trump won't be able to blow his nose without the press reporting on it. They won't give him an inch
The press? You think he's going to give a shit about the press? They can report indiscretions as accurately as they like -- he's just not going to care. And his supporters won't care either. Donald Trump has, for years now, told absolute bold lies, and anyone who naysays him is the liar, the puppet, and the loser. And look where he is now. He lies and he lies big, and he apologizes for nothing. And the Trump-lovers like him like that.

If your children were smarter they'd rebut: I can't find anything in the constitution that grants you (Dad) lawmaking powers of any kind.
All powers not delegated by the Constitution are reserved by the states or to the people.

I'd like to see you talk your shit to my face, you SJW faggot.
I think some of us would be happy to. Care to give your address, shit-posting AC?
How deliciously ironic.
Well.. it's a correct statement!
I'd think that a company as large as Apple would be magnanimous and offer to license out this safety feature to others, for free even. I'd think wrong
Oh now. That would take... courage.
Just punishing the offenders after the fact demonstrably doesn't fix the problem.
Of course not. However, that's the thing about free will. People will make bad choices.
Yup. That's right. Some people will certainly die because other people made the wrong choice. But no, that is not justification for removing it.

I have five checked out at this moment.. is this something just for new customers?

You forgot, now get off my lawn and dont touch my social security.
Social Security is something you actually pay into. It's YOUR money, so it would indeed be theft to cut it off.
"I've got mine screw you."
Or "you should be responsible for your actions and not expect a bail out."
Not fantastic, but it was certainly far better than the previous eight years, that's for sure.

Remind me again about "yellow cake" outrage?
Doubts about the yellow cake came early, with investigations by both the CIA and the State Department finding the yellow cake documents to be forgery. The IAEA also judged the documents to be false.

Some people still think Osama bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11 even though he eventually released a tape admitting it was more successful than they had planned.
You mean when they voted overwhelmingly to leave and were welcomed with open arms?
You mean the vote that the Russians oversaw in an occupied zone, then announced their own numbers anyway?
Considering there was no aggression from Russia, I'd say the sanctions were unjustified.
Russian soldiers invaded the Crimea. They also gave material and weapons support to the rebels, who used one of the anti-air launchers the Russians brought with them to blow up a civilian airliner.

Can you give me a list of those "significant" countries? Because it looks to me that what you call "the world" is quite small.
You're not forgetting Poland again, are you??
