And.... it's not free, either. They will bill you for it. I've racked up some impressive ER/hospital bills in my day.
There might be a free clinic near you if you live near a big city but saying healthcare is free in America is like saying food is free because some charities run soup kitchens.
Another point of contention I have with Zuckerbergs' statement is that public scools and libraries also are not free. They are paid for with taxes.
So you're paying every site you visit for the service provided to you, which causes operating costs? Since not every site even has an option to pay, you're likely mooching from a high horse.
If a homeless person wipes my windshield with a newspaper, it is not a service I wanted nor a service I will pay for.
Pointing to the site you put up and saying "what a good boy am I" does not mean that is a service I want. In every city you can find people playing music on the street expecting a handout. Why? I didn't hire them. I don't even want to hear their shitty music.
And yet they want me to give them money. Guess what. I'd like them to give me money, but they never do.
It's entirely lawful, tax avoidance is legal while tax evasion is illegal.
Hence inspiring the more enterprising among us to invent the lesser known practices of "tax evoidance", "tax avoision", "tax evaidance", etc. Never underestimate American ingenuity when it comes to skirting regulations. Some of these practices have been elevated to true art forms.
Educate yourself. Then educate your family. Then educate your friends. It doesn't take very much.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to do this though. How can you trust any information coming from the government or media when the messages they spout are deliberately designed to deceive and to push an agenda?
How exactly do you go about educating yourself about a program that has been classified by the government for "national security reasons?" There's not much you can do except wait for the next Edward Snowden to come along to give you accurate information.
I do agree that a democratically elected government is best served by an educated voting populace, but that is a tall order given the barriers currently in place to keep the truth from the American people.
Note that I made the uncontroversial statement that produce picked fresh from my garden tastes better than produce that has been sitting around for weeks in a big box grocery store. Also note that there are two opposing opinions to this view. Perhaps I should not trust my own sensory input and substitute the view of random posters on Slashdot as my truth.
Not only is organic food NOT beneficial from either a taste or health perspective, it's actually scientifically shown to be worse due to exactly this issue.
The local produce I buy or grow myself is fresh from the ground and tastes a hell of a lot better that what you'll find in a big box grocery store. Wash anything you eat raw, it's common sense.
Maybe I missed it because the only comment alleging this was posted four hours after my comment. Seeing as there's no mention of the allegation in TFS or TFAs, maybe you can see why I missed something that wasn't there.
Am I the only person left who actually LIKES and used Thunderbird?
No. I'm using it without incident. For my use case, it works perfectly. I haven't had any of the issues others have posted.
And for what it's worth, Thunderbird isn't going anywhere. Just because Mozilla isn't supporting it doesn't mean no one will. It is open source software. I have the source, I've built it, so as long as I'm alive it will be a thing. And when I'm dead, well I don't care what happens, because I'll be dead.
Thank you , Jesus. I see the light. It's way off in the distance, because I am surrounded by imbeciles, by I can see the light. One day, I believe, people will be smart. That's all I can hope for.
The use of a new request method (PRI) makes HTTP/1.x servers more likely to (correctly) reject the connection attempt so that the client can cleanly fall back to 1.1.
That is not how computers work. They match bits, that's it. To anthropomorphize them because that's the way your brain works is a serious error.
So someone added cruft to a communications protocol just to make a political statement? Seems to me that is a very poor reason to make a technical decision. It's not needed, it should be removed.
Our legal system has fuck-all to do with "justice" anymore.
It never did. The legal system only deals with conflict resolution. Ideals such as "justice" are tangential to the law. Just like integrity is tangential to Judge Liam O'Grady's character.
Actually this is one of the few times I broke with tradition and read TFA. All it has to say is they're going "to propose measures to strengthen the controls of non-banking payment methods." Whatever the hell that means.
I thought the whole point of Bitcoin is that it cannot be regulated by a central authority. I fail to see how the EU intends to "crackdown on Bitcoin." How exactly do they think they are going to stop peer-to-peer transactions?
Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. That's true whether I choose to encrypt my communications or not. I care not a whit if politicians don't like it, there's nothing they can do about it without violating my First Amendment rights.
I keep every email sent and received (excluding spam) on a local Dovecot server. It's a wonderful resource. Every event important to me ends up in an email to somebody. I use the archived emails in lieu of a journal or diary as an effortless way to record my personal history.

Posting the link to Parent's talk so the truly interested don't have to search for it (like I did). Hopefully this is the one you were talking about.

Anyone who flies is promoting the system.
One of many reasons I don't fly. A lot of issues just go away when you refuse to participate. It's not an option for some people but it works for me.

Not bloody likely, Trolls.

That doesn't help when it's the lettuce or some other serve-cold produce.
Perhaps they could just wash the produce before serving it? It's a simple courtesy I extend to guests I don't feel like killing.
Who is Bruce Perens? And why should I care what he thinks about open hardware?
He's the digital equivalent of a panhandler. He submits a story no one is interested in and then asks people to send him money.

It should be possible to find out who did the code chage, who approved the change and who merged it.
There is a link to the commit in TFS. It is worth looking at if only to see the first (and at this time, only) comment to the commit.

This solar panel meme is repeated over and over again by the rabbit anti-technologists but no evidence agrees with their position.
I think I see what the problem is. You should be getting your technology advice from people, not rabbits.

It never did. The legal system only deals with conflict resolution. Ideals such as "justice" are tangential to the law. Just like integrity is tangential to Judge Liam O'Grady's character.
He knows full well what he's spewing is horseshit. He's sowing propaganda, nothing more. That's his job. Our job is to ignore him.
Everyone knows it is against the Constitution and will never become a law.
Warrentless surveillance is also unconstitutional, and yet the Patriot Act is a law. 14 years later we are still living with this abomination.
Bad laws can and do get implemented, and until they are struck down we all suffer the consequences.

Some of us still take the Constitution seriously.
You've got to admit he's got a rye sense of humor.
All that said, why are you keeping it all?
I keep every email sent and received (excluding spam) on a local Dovecot server. It's a wonderful resource. Every event important to me ends up in an email to somebody. I use the archived emails in lieu of a journal or diary as an effortless way to record my personal history.
