And Carl Icahn is just one of the many cronies that Trump put in positions of power. Only an imbecile (to borrow your own language) who never peeked out of his echo chamber could have missed all the stories that have been broken.
If we all somehow got rich polluting the world and continue to do so, where the hell is my share?
In the pockets of men like Trump who don't give a rat's ass about the the environment and want environmental regulations lifted so that they can reap even more profit.
But hey, keep telling yourself that this somehow qualifies as generosity.
From Delta's press release: Deltaâ(TM)s biometric boarding pass experience is being tested at DCA, with Phase 1 already underway, allowing eligible Delta SkyMiles Members to forego a paper or mobile boarding pass and hard copy ID in favor of using fingerprints as proof of identity at the Delta Sky Club.
So, technically, you're right; for at least some people, it's not soon... it's now.
Who the hell wants to read a 176 page book in their web browser?
The epub format is a zip archive containing HTML and CSS style sheets. It's basically an archive of a web site that's been packaged up to make it easy to download and read offline with one of the many readers that are available on every significant OS.
You can also unzip the epub file and open it in your browser if you're really hung up on the idea that your browser is a good place to read a long document.
If you'd clicked on the link,, or even hovered over it to see the url, you'd have seen "What router analytics data is collected and how is the data being used by NETGEAR?" which makes it pretty obvious that they're talking about data that's sent to the company.
Nothing funny about it. She just released an album, so the music press wants to interview her about it. Marillion's last album is long past the interview cycle, so the press isn't chasing them for interviews.
In your gleeful rush toward a greed-based solution that prioritizes the wealthy, you missed the part where the red lights no longer exist.
By spacing the traffic appropriately, cars simply arrive at the intersection at pass through without stopping, allowing everyone gets to their destination as efficiently as possible. There is no inefficiency for you to monetize unless you artificially introduce it. If you want to see how well that works, just look at the arguments surrounding net neutrality, zero rating, throttling, etc.
You're advocating for silencing people who don't meet some some arbitrary definition of "insightful comments coming from people with knowledge of different portions of the issue who can add depth to the discussion", but you're not considering the problem of who decides what is insightful.
Our current administration has been firing scientists and experts in favor of political pundits, right wing journalists, lobbyists and wealthy people who donated to the campaign in positions of power because those are the people whose comments they like. And that administration is the one that would be deciding what comments qualify as insightful and which people are knowledgeable.
Frankly, what you're suggesting sounds like a good way to start a totalitarian regime.
You say that as if there's any chance in hell of companies taking any real responsibility for shitty products. Fines are viewed as a cost of doing business and profit margins are adjusted accordingly. If the company doesn't get caught, it just means their profits are higher than expected due to the cost savings.
The commenter was probably referred to this guy because it got a lot of press, but he took a plea deal that gave him seven years on probation. Texas has 116 people serving life sentences for possession, though, so there's probably another teenager in there somewhere.
3. Food company saying that some drinks might contain a rare disease which they have created in-house. Seriously?
Are you suggesting that IBM created the Reconyc Trojan that's been circulating in the wild for half a decade? Or are you just demonstrating that you didn't bother reading the article before making blatantly false accusations?
Obviously you will get very little good content if DRM goes away and artists begin to basically give away their creations.
Which is why there was very little good content before the first DRM was introduced in 1983?
Not imposing DRM is not the same as artists giving away their creations. Home taping did not kill the music industry. VCRs did not kill the movie industry.
"Ironic" how smart phones have a battery that lasts for a day despite having them having far more memory and far more computing power than a Cray 1 supercomputer which needed a 115 kW power supply.
It's almost like comparing radically different technologies isn't a useful comparison.
It's not collected in one area and the areas that are polluted are so large that we can't collect enough samples to say for certain how large they are. Estimates range from 700,000 square kilometres (270,000 sq mi) to more than 15,000,000 square kilometres (5,800,000 sq mi).
Even if you could determine where it all was, filtering is not an option. It's not like mowing a lawn. Water moves. You can't filter one patch at a time. Even if you could, you'd be removing all of the plankton in the area and food chains tend to collapse when the lowest level organisms disappear. Making a dead zone in the ocean that's somewhere between the size of Texas and the twice the size of the United States would be... problematic.
"They also found that those who drank one a day were nearly three times as likely to be diagnosed with dementia."
"Those who drank one to six artificially sweetened beverages a week were 2.6 times as likely to experience an ischemic stroke but were no more likely to develop dementia"
So if you drink six a week, there's no change to risk of dementia, but somehow the seventh triples your risk?

Because the childish name-calling that you responded with is the epitome of logic and reasoning?
Let's not forget about impossible physics as part of the plot.
...
I wouldn't mind a really good remake of a classic movie. (Forbidden Planet anyone?)
A movie which depends on impossible physics as part of the plot....

No, they got that out of the way last year
Your reputation is pretty bad. People confusing you with Pandora is more likely to improve how they think of you, so you might want to roll with it.

But that doesn't let them use automation to replace people, cutting salary and benefit costs while upping the CEO's year-end bonus.

I had to do a clean install on my Dell laptop. I'm hoping it will be necessary for the next update.
A user who hopes a clean install will be necessary after an update? You are Microsoft's dream come true!

Why make up supposed questions when the people who did the survey make the questions and data available here?
It's almost like someone has an agenda and isn't willing to even look at anything that might conflict with it.
