It basically looks just the same as that from a film.
You must be too young to remember film, or too senile to remember it. Scratches and dust on film was very noticeable, and became more annoying the longer a film was in use. It's been a while since I've seen a digital projector glitch, but I remember film getting stuck and melting somewhat frequently. And don't forget the projectionist getting the reels mixed up.
When can we get one that's an actual phone? It would be great for use as a burner when leaving and returning to the US. Though I doubt the TSA is going to find the humor to their liking. But I don't really find the legal gray zone at the border very funny either.
My daughter has lived her six years with no cable television so far. While watching the Olympics last year on over the air signals she found the commercials to be her favorite part. When you never get to see them they are new and cool I guess.
I don't remember how old my daughter was before she saw a commercial. Probably 6 or 7. Like your daughter, she was fascinated by them. In fact she looked up commercials on YouTube for a while afterward. There have been some that were pretty funny. The VW V-Dub commercials were hilarious. We have dobermans, so the Audi "Doberhuahua" commercial was good for a laugh too.
I don't know why the medias only give this news a single paragraph in their "IT News" section... This says a lot about freedom of press. Usually, journalists are utterly against spying on people. But right now they just STFU.
My guess is that most journalists don't understand the implications of this, and/or think it sounds too much like 1984 to actually be true. Nobody wants to come across as a tin foil hat wearing nut-case. It's typically not good for your career.
The fact the native Americans believed you could no more own the land then the sky really has no bearing on weather or not they contractually obligated themselves or the other party was being honest about the value of the exchange?
There are two sides to this story you know. While the native Americans certainly did get screwed, it's not quite so innocent. They didn't believe that you could own land, yet they took payment for it believing that those who paid them were fools for giving them something for the land. In their minds it would be no different than someone today paying me for the naturally occurring rain on their property.
The current economic improvements are not a black and white difference between Obama and Trump. Trump has done NOTHING policy-wise yet; he is resting on the policy foundations of the past 8 years of the Obama administration. Nevertheless, his mostly ignorant-of-economics, self-confirmation-biased "true believers" will happily consume the hash of lies and distortions they are fed. Are their incomes going up? Is life easier? All they have to do is make a trip to the mailbox to find out that *nothing* has changed.
Sadly, this is what happens damn near every time a new president has been elected from the opposing party. Obama got a Nobel for doing nothing FFS.
GWB got the blame for the Dot-com crash and 9-11. Both were in the works before he even won the primary.
Reagan got credit for the Iran hostages being released. Even though they would have been released as long as anyone other than Carter would have been president.
NPOs are for the most part (over 95%) just tax avoidance schemes for trust fund babies.
Like the Easter Seals, United Way, Salvation Army, The Red Cross, The American Cancer Society, Boys Club of America, YMCA, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and damn near every hospital in the US.
I'm not saying that there are not some that fit your description, But you have your percentages reversed (at best). Frankly, I'd be surprised if it was even 5% of NPOs.
Nuclear power is a thing, and it's actually quite good.
Maybe in northern Australia. But being that close to Japan, you don't want to take the chance that Godzilla decides to stomp all the way through on land because he gets the munchies.
Maybe, maybe not. When is the last time you took repairability into account before making a purchase?
I do as much as possible. But I'm old and still remember when things were built with that in mind. Granted, things like televisions are generally not considered repairable. Usually by the time they malfunction and are out of warranty, it's cheaper to purchase a new one that is usually better anyhow.
I still build all of my desktop computers because I can repair and upgrade them continually. I always consider the ease of working on a car before I purchase one too. Of course I don't do as much of my own mechanical work as I used to, but there is something satisfying about fixing your own car. When I was in my twenties I still had more time than money, and on a continual quest to go faster. So I rebuilt my own engines back then. I don't have all of the tools needed to attempt that on a modern engine. But rebuilding a fuel injection system is a hell of a lot simpler than a Quadrajet carburetor.
That word. You're thinking of media consumption. But for productivity, a "short screen" is a pain.
Considering the title of TFA was asking about televisions, that's what I was talking about. Since you made no mention that you were talking about computer monitors, why would I assume it? But, again, it depends on what you are doing. I work in medical imaging and most medical workstations have a minimum of two 16:9 monitors in portrait orientation. Often times they will have more, or even one in landscape and two (or more) in portrait.
Ultra-wide is another retarded fad. I'd much rather get more vertical room.
It depends on what you watch the most. If it's movies, then a wider format would make sense. If it's modern television shows, then 16:9, if you mostly watch older television shows, then a 4:3 would be better. 16:9 is probably the best compromise as it's typically the cheapest at the moment.
No we don't. I live in CA, we have the _worst_ most corrupt senators in the nation.
Nancy Pelosi has been in congress since 1987, Darrel Issa since 2003, Maxine Waters 1991, Dianne Feinstein 1992, Barbara Boxer was in the Senate from 1993 until 2017.Dana Rohrabacher, 1989, Ken Calvert, Anna Eshoo, Lucille Roybal-Allard, Ed Royce have all been in their current office since 1993.They may be corrupt, but they keep getting reelected.
It's not really much different anywhere else though. Robert Byrd in West Virginia served 51 years. He was even a member of the KKK while in office at one point. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina was in office just shy of 50 years. He still holds the record for the longest filibuster, which was in opposition of civil rights legislation. He was well known for fondling women as well. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts was in for 46 years. After the incident with Mary Jo Kopechne, not only did he avoid any charges, he was also reelected.
I bet it doesn't include high risk insurance for the drunk and stupid drivers.
I've got decades with no tickets or accidents. My insurance is about 1/10 the price of insurance for someone with a DUI.
Suppose someone buys the lifetime insurance then acts really stupid. Do you really think the insurance company is going to continue covering them under the initial insurance coverage?
Do you really think the insurance company and lawyers haven't already thought of that and don't have it in the fine print at the very least? There's probably a clause regarding how many wrecks, you get in, or a stipulation that Auto-Pilot must be on at the time of the wreck in order to maintain coverage.
Americans also believe that everyone one in Congress is a lying, cheating, worthless waste of oxygen, except for their own congressman. (s)he's doing a fantastic job and needs to be kept in office for the rest of their natural life.
Hey, that gives me an idea. We should replace all congressmen with robots. Except mine, of course.
The paper said that aerodynamics are unable to explain how bumblebees fly.
What paper said that? The Weekly World News?
They weren't the original source, but I bet they picked up the story 10 or 15 years after it was first published.
The Weekly World News probably had proof that bumblebees came from a planet orbiting a small star in Andromeda, and that was the reason they could fly. I'm sure there were also stories over the year about them abducting and impregnating women who gave birth to half human/half Andromeda bee offspring too.
self-driving truck and stormed off to Arizona in a self-driving huff,
Do the cars that pick up the people also storm off in a huff? It would be funny if they also call the passengers "meatbags" and tell them to "bite my shiny metal ass"
Slashdot Mirror
Does it have a real headphone jack? Or did they have the courage to remove that?
FTFY
We could already do that. We needed the increased wattage so we can oppress lighter-skinned people, too.
So this laser thing is really about diversity. I guess that's simply a natural progression of repealing "Do ask, don't tell"
...which work by emitting radio signals that force the drones to land, purportedly without damaging them. The drone-killing rifles
This doesn't sound like what most people would consider "drone killing". But I guess that makes a better headline than drone disabling.

Agreed. Marketing/commercials is/are different in different countries for sure. It can be very interesting, at times.

Use "American do/think/believe...." less. You don't know what you're talking about.
That's strange, according to this poll I do.
