LOL, you sound like a old co-worker of mine, he didn't check his work voice mail for FIVE years... He would just look at caller id and call them back and ask what they wanted...
Out of curiosity, how do you feel about "bong" shops? Does anyone actually believe someone is going to smoke tobacco in a water bong? At least, 99% of the time anyway. But yet "head shops" are legal. Why is "copyrighted" material special? Why does it get protection of "could be used for.."
Disclaimer: yes I know weed is now "legal" many places, but the analogy still holds.
No, the robber baron's did no such thing, they hindered and stifled competition every where they went. You want a new pick axe? Sorry the general store can't get any because the robber barron keeps "losing" his shipment. BUT you can but this pick axe from the Robber Barron's store for only FIVE TIMES the cost!!! (if you think they got that filthy rich through "competition" you're mistaken.)
Read what Comshit did to Netfilx, and that's recent history...
I'm not against free markets and capitalism, but they only work where true competition is available. That's not the case, with "utilities" where barrier to entry is astronomical.
---Fewer regulations mean more freedom for companies to try different approaches to providing network services. That in turn, obviously means more jobs... and is better for consumers.---
You SERIOUSLY don't believe that? Not ONCE as that happened. Fewer regulations means static progression and price gouging.
Net neutrality, is the ONLY thing that has stopped VZ and Comshit from completely shutting down your internet access EXCEPT to "their" sites.
Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it-
Read up on the railroad barons of the early 1900's, that exactly where the removal of "net neutrality" will get you.
I've heard the vulgarity of our entertainment defended with the claim that it reflects society - I wonder, then, why those in charge of Hollywood fight so hard against our desire for cleaner entertainment?
Because, why YOU think you're special and righteous in your desire for "no naughty words". The fact is, NO ONE ELSE CARES. Either they like gore and naughty words (like myself) or the just don't care. Your "fight" is one sided, Hollywood is driven by profits, and no matter how important you think you are. The blunt fact is you and those 5 people like you make up a miniscule part of the "viewers" that it is not even worth their time money wise. In fact you're so insignificant, it is not worth their time to put out "edited" versions of popular movies for you. (hint: if they thought for a second they could increase profits, it would exist)
So basically, you thinking their "fighting" against is akin to the Ants in a mound thinking I'm fighting them when my boot lans on them while I walk through the woods.
OMG man, disconnect the cables!!!! NEVER, Skynet will detect that and launch! Joshua already had 8 of the launch codes! you need to make him play tic tac toe, enter zero players!
Shrug, people are orphaned at young ages all the time. They survive and even prosper.
That said, yes he thought it out rationally. And eventually, agreed not to fight it.
The reality here, is she's dead either way, if this gives her and her mother peace. So be it. She got a shitty roll of "life's dice", personally in that position I might make the gamble myself no matter how long the odds are.
Personally, I think the most likely outcome here is the same way older cemeteries today run out of money and the land gets sold. This company will eventually run out of money and the power gets shut off. The bodies will be shipped off somewhere and buried with little fanfare.
That said, I was asking "half-life", every thing I read says they lose 20%+ efficiency in 10 years. That puts them at 50-60% of when they were new at 20 years... Which frankly sucks.

TIL'd and from a AC !
wow the internet is truly doomed...
LOL, you sound like a old co-worker of mine, he didn't check his work voice mail for FIVE years... He would just look at caller id and call them back and ask what they wanted...
Right up until Google abandons it, and for it to work you need to port your number over.
No way I'm giving Google a chance to send the phone # I've had for 20 years in to limbo when they "decide" to kill off Google Voice.
yes AC we believe you!...

I've NEVER had a Bluetooth device maintain connection at 30 feet WITHOUT walls.
I've never had one work through a door much less drywall...
There's nothing here?
*looks around*
"YOUR COMPUTER HAS BEEN LOCKED by the FBI click the link below to avoid jail time"
Take old phone, factory reset it. go through customs, find free wifi. reload phone....
The shit is getting easier and easier.
The next step is they'll hold you up, require your google or dropbox password...
We live in interesting times. until the "world" catches up to tech. Don't know which way things are going... 1984? Johnny Mnemonic? Blade Runner?
Again look to history.

I love you
Who? Seriously? who?
Or their intentional running at a loss for market share/ brand building/ etc...
MANY perfectly legal companies run at a loss for various reasons.

bad you should immediately turn off you internet fo for 30 days to "reset" it....
While generally agree with "personal responsibility"
"...because the Tesla Android app stores the OAuth token in cleartext, and contains no reverse-engineering protection..."
In this day in age? Are you fucking kidding me?
Yes,I think this constitutes lawsuit worthy, they're not coders they're complete incompetent hacks.
Humans are EXTREMELY adaptable.
They are many parallels we primitive peoples have been introduced into modern society and flourished.
Language barrier? not like people have been dropped into foreign cultures and managed to learn the local language.
Will it be easy? probably not. Language barrier? not like people have been dropped into foreign cultures and managed to learn the local language.

Thank you, that's good to know.
Actually Regan yanked them...

regular shingles last 20-30 years..
these are going to last 40-60 yrs ????
I seriously doubt that. What's the current half life of solar panels 10-20 years ?
Maybe he means putting a new coat of paint on his trailer?
This ^^
I'm calling BS on being able to produce "shingles" cheaper then traditional. Especially including install...
Same for a car roof? how are you going to get cheaper then sheet metal with paint on it?
As a update, I got the stuff Sunday. Yeah it is the 130XE... I have a tv/monitor that and a component "in" so I was actually able to hook it right up!
So far most of the disks work which amazes me (mid 80's most of them)...
The joysticks are a little rough for wear, but I've tried a couple dozen games so far!
A couple games still had the highscores, and yes I took pictures and sent them to a childhood friend let him know he never beat me and that game :P
