  2. Re:I've tried Walmart's ecommerce... on Walmart Buys Jet For $3 Billion, Hopes To Turbo Charge Ecommerce (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    I have the same problem in my town of 3000. Inside of the city limits if you want mail you MUST buy a PO Box for $110 a year. Live outside of the city limits you get free home delivery because you are on a rural route and have contracted delivery. I must have a PO Box as a billing address for credit cards and utility bills. So I am required to give my billing (PO Box) and shipping (Street) address. The problem is when the dumb asses ask for a shipping address and MAIL me a package. FedEx has Smartpost. Which uses the USPS for final delivery. For me the FedEx truck delivers to the Post Office.

    "When you need to ship low-weight packages to residential customers, consider efficient, economical FedEx SmartPost shipping service. By utilizing the U.S. Postal Service® (USPS) for final delivery, FedEx SmartPost reaches every U.S. address, including P.O. boxes and military APO, FPO and DPO destinations."

    Shouldn't John Deere be clear then, and say they only rent tractors

    All this software is directly tied to "Climate Change". The big diesel engine equipment is having a hell of a time passing the new emissions. The same mechanical fuel injection from the 60's is not legal anymore. EVERYTHING is computer controlled and has us use DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid).The new tractors are overly complicated compared to just 10 year old tractors and not near as reliable. 99% of farmers repair their own equipment and the FEDS do not want the emission systems bypassed.

    WoW is down from its 10 million peak, but it is at least at 3 million players still. That's certainly nontrivial.

  15. Re:Facebook will pay carriers on Facebook Lays Out Blueprint For Connecting Hard-To-Reach Rural Areas (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    In my area you have 90 days to connect to a new service sewer or water main in the area. If you do not connect in the first 90 then you are served official notice by the city marshal and given another 90 days. After 180 days the city will get your power meter removed and condemn the property until you connect to the sewer or water mains.

    So. Everyone hooked up to sewer and everyone got a water meter. But a lot just put a single water faucet one foot from the new water meter and kept her house on well water. Because the sewer user fee is based on the amount of water used on the meter. The city then added a minimum sewer fee of $10 and a min water fee of $10.

  19. HTPC JUST to get an Ad blocker on Ask Slashdot: What's Your Preferred Media Streaming Device? · · Score: 1

    Roku3 in the bedroom and a HTPC in livingroom. Roku3 is going away as soon as I can build a 2nd HTPC. Roku is great no problems with the hardware. The BIG issue for me is on PBS, Youtube and Twitch apps. The ads are 100% unacceptable. Pre roll ads work ok. But mid vid ads lockup and crash the ROKU. The ads bother me so much that I am willing to spend $600 on a new HTPC JUST to get an Ad blocker.

    Starcraft overexposed? When did that happen?

    About 2 years ago. Tournaments EVERY weekend with the SAME players playing each other. Week after week after week after week. The big Esports groups just milk the hell out of the hottest game and run sport into the ground. Until everyone is sick of the game. This is happening right now with CSGO. ESEA, FACEIT, ESL, ECS, E League and more than that. The same 10 or so teams playing each other OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER 5 to 6 days a week.

    The 3 top Twitch streamers have quit streaming the game. Twitch has 3 to 4 Esport companies CSGO tournaments a week. Twitch also has its own weekly CSGO turny which the finalist play on TBS every weekend. CSGO is over exposed and will die soon just like Starcraft before it. If you have skins sell out now at the top of the market. No more skin gambling and it is all over.
