Here in the southern part of that same border, the difference is more like ten to fifteen cents per gallon. Lots more inefficient pickups and SUVs down here, however.
I, probably like most people, had assumed that money for rewards came from interest (lots of people don't pay off their cards every month) and advertising.
It's possible they just haven't analyzed the cost for cash because that analysis is a harder problem than the straightforward percentage for a credit purchase.
You've never worked in retail, or you'd know that employees have to put stuff back on the shelves/all the time/. I worked in a grocery store many years ago and we had to put a full cart's worth of stuff back at least once a day - they were either dropped off at checkout ("I don't want this") or haphazardly shoved onto the wrong shelf when someone changed their mind & was too lazy to put it back themselves.
It was still better than the previous Japanese strategy of meeting us at the beaches and then banzai charges. Kuribayashi did quite well with the hand he was dealt.
I did that to my old department head's printer a few years ago. I think it was asking for $0.25 to be inserted for a few weeks before he asked me to fix it.
If your old app has a GUI, a current VM manager might not have a supported video driver for your distro's old version of Xfree86. However, you could have it use the VESA BIOS extension (VBE) driver and that'll work - it works for me with Debian 2.2, for instance.
Or create a virtual machine with a contemporary Linux distro, perhaps the one the program was specifically supported on. If your app doesn't need to get on the Internet there's no need to expose the old distro, so security shouldn't be a problem.
Yes? Nothing stops them from having pacman emit warnings like "HEY STUPID YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS BECAUSE WE MADE GRATUITOUS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES" requiring acknowledgement before proceeding. That they don't is just lazy and rude.
I don't remember exactly which changes bit me. One of them was to do with GPG-signing packages, and good old pacman didn't tell me that I had to increase system entropy, so it just hung there until I gave up and rebooted [1], which broke something or other. The other... it was before the systemd change (although that broke a VM copy I had, probably from my temerity at not having run pacman for a few months on that instance)... did they switch to Pulse Audio?
"Hands on" is something like Slackware where you have to configure half the packages for them to work, or Debian 2.x which was even more needy. I can't think of a charitable description for something like this.
[1] I was new to Arch at the time (Debian weenie since '99) so I didn't know what to expect.
A bit? I played with Arch for about six months and gave up the second time I ran into an update that broke the system because I didn't read the homepage first.
I'll stick with Ubuntu Server if I want a fully customized barebones install. That sucks too, but not quite so strongly and I won't have to do a reinstall every time the devs want to randomly make incompatible changes.
Per Ars Technica, this thinktank's got a history of opposing Net Neutrality.
Actually, read the Ars article. It's better quality than this paid hit piece. Did anyone notice that the final link in the summary goes to Fox Propaganda?
Oh god, bad memories. I worked at a loan servicer for car loans. We had this automatic phone dialer that was the biggest piece of shit since brontosauri died out; the thing would be fed a list of phone numbers to call, then when someone picked up it'd get routed to one of us.
The problem is that if we'd get a payment the thing had no/idea/ and we might call people three or four times in a day until someone kicked it. It's been nearly ten years now and I'm still astounded we were never prosecuted or sued.

Only if the employee detailed to do it doesn't have other tasks. Sometimes you have a little dead time that you'd spend shooting the breeze.

The answer is some variant of "follow the money", I'm sure, but why doesn't the standards body in question require that the standard be truly open?

That's what the Japanese did on Iwo Jima. It's a well-known military and IT strategy called "defense in depth".

Yesterday's Enterprise wasn't /really/ about time travel. It was more about parallel universes, which are also overdone but not so much in Star Trek.
Just like all those people who threaten to flee to Canada if an election doesn't go their way, right?
Pfft.

(and Slashdot, moving one PC from Fedora with Ubuntu VM to just Ubuntu isn't 'switching to Ubuntu')
Color me shocked, shocked that a Slashdot story is sensationalized.
You forgot trickle-down economics.

NetBSD has switched to a 64-bit time_t.
This is formerly Infogrames, who bought rights to the Atari name after the original went bankrupt.
A little basic fact-checking would have fixed this entry, "editors".
Acrobat Reader got a lot better with version 10's secure mode. I don't remember reading of any exploits that were able to get past that.
Water /isn't/ free. There's only so much freshwater to go around, especially when there's a bad drought like last year.
Land isn't free. See above.

"Literally" doesn't mean what you think it does, dipshit.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
You really have no idea how many client-side programs integrate Trident, do you? I'm not talking about something that goes through the browser here.
