20 years almost, I find it reprehensible they want to pop out of bushes and just give me 30 days to go through 20 years worth of emails and decide what I want to keep
He keeps them all online? Does his provider not have a pop3 option to download everything he has been hoarding on their servers and sort from there at his own leisure?
t I literally would not go to see this movie even if Disney were to pay me $100 to do so,)
I'm not too fussy about who is paying me. I'll take the money.
Sure as a contractor, I may be able to score more than $100 for 2 hours of my time, but that involves actual work as opposed to sitting down and relaxing.
I seem to remember this happening with "The Wolverine" many years ago. It still made $$. I'm sure it's universal panning has something to do with the early leak.
I go to the sites, Search for the best deal I can online - Grab a screenshot, call my travel agent and tell them what expedia is able to do and see if she can better that.
It has the advantage of giving me the best price available plus the assurances of having a professional handle the transactions for me.
One of small joys in traveling is turning on a TV and seeing the local adverts - How the same, or similar products are marketed in other areas/countries. Now obviously, this is a side distraction. It is not the reason for traveling, or something I look forward to - just an interesting bonus
Nope. Probably because I'm regarded as "poor" because I enjoy working in IT Support, make $50K per year and live in Silicon Valley. Should I piss on others who make less than me because I'm pissed on by others who are "rich" than me?
Of course income isn't the be all and end all.
I earn a comfortable amount - but there are many people that earn less than me that have more at the end of the month and many people that earn more that have less
I would like my methods of payment and my physical being to be as separate as possible.
It is invasive enough at the moment that public transport wants to 'force' traceable and easily tracked methods of payment in the name of autonomy and convenience (see Data Collection) and while I doubt they have very little interest in my specific transactions or movements - this doesn't sit easy with me.
Again, my underwear drawer is clean - this doesn't mean I want to give everyone permission to look through it.
Where was the trigger warning that this story and the comments within may offend my sensibilities by being exposed to attitudes and ideas that are inconsistent with my own?
Even the allegedly small footprint distributions are slower on every computer I've tried them on than Windows 10.
Yes, I used to enjoy "revitalising" old Windows machines for family who had given up on them only to return them with a fresh flavour of lightweight (or even full scale) linux.
But it appears that the small footprint days are gone.
Work provided me with a iPhone 4S when they were new. It has received regular updates and I have had no reason to upgrade the phone as it is really my portable email/phone-call machine.
My last personal phone was a HTC, which I loved as a tool. . 3 years later and never an OS upgrade received. Time came to update my personal phone and HTC, as much as I loved it when new, did not get any of my money. If HTC had provided updates, I would still be a customer now.
Yes, but going to a web page, doesn't give the app manufacturers a chance to throw a EULA at you asking for permission to access and track everything you do on your device at all times.
Yes, the number of time I hear about "XXX in trouble as profits down on last year"
As far as I am aware, profit means you made more than you spent, Being profitable is good. So, while more profit is good, less profit is also good and definitely not "Trouble".
and at one stroke eliminates the typical years of delay that occur when a U.S. program seeks foreign audiences.
Weeks, and months, but seldom is it years, and, if it is, this is likely because the Networks here did not see a potential audience for it.
I can only speak for New Zealand, We receive a high amount of out programming the same week and the same day as the U.S/U.K (especially for the most popular shows).
If not that quick, many others are being played before the series has run its course in the U.S.

Yes. horrible typo of mine - Forever a blemish on my online footprint :)

Because young earthers are generally not Catholic.

So long as she thinks she is drinking gallons of mountain dew and not getting off the couch?
99% still inhibited by ridiculous artificial restrictions
The gods must be crazy 2, and crocodile dundee 2 were both better than their respective first films as far as I'm concerned.
I try to only mod up, and rarely mod down.. But If I had the points today....

There was a 1995 remake or was that a typo? (Not being a smartarse, honestly curious)

Yes, Much the same here.
Every few months I will sit down with one in the hopes that "This will be different.." I seldom finish one.
Some of my earliest and fondest television memories were watching TOS re-runs. Spock was my 1st TV hero.
Agreed.

Or what? Is it a cool world? Devito? Devito? Devito?
Ahh Karla, My favorite of the Neverland Express. Until Patty Russo came along.
Agreed. It's all politics. ... "think of the children" is a great pandering tool.
My Kingdom for some modpoints

If I were in the US, or could be bothered, I would be lining up for my $9 as I intended to "One Day" get linux installed on mine.
