Ignorant regressives will always condemn any form of improvement of society. They won't be happy until were back to living in caves and trees.
Fortunately, even though they have had a surge in population lately they are all within 10 years of dying as they are either a) very old, b) going to do something so colossally stupid they end up killing themselves, or c) will be another NRA sponsored mass murderer and will have a cop suicide.
You do realize you wouldn't be a fat lazy asshole on that, just a lazy asshole. It helps if you're going to be an insufferable self righteous douchebag that you at least have a nugget of accuracy.
There's also a large list of people who medically would massively benefit off something such as this, but go ahead, rail on with your libertarian anarchist ideologies that are destroying society.
VW is actually really good about fixing things like this. My TDI has had a dozen software changes by them due to other things and a half dozen other little fixes they caught after it was sold as new in 2010. I got a letter in the mail last week of another fix they want to put in place because idiots keep putting gas in their TDI's too.
I imagine as soon as they have a fix ready they'll send me another letter asking me to bring it by for the recall notice.
I went to the new plans a month ago and my bill dropped by $20 net. It went down $40 because of the plan change, but because of the new handset it took the $20/mo hit, putting $20 back in my pocket while giving me a brand new higher end phone that works correctly (my old one was broken)
They do explain the subsidies and the payoff really well in store (My phone broke monday, had to get a replacement)
Some phones have that $150 cost up front, then a set month to month fee that will be line itemed on your bill, others have no up front cost and just a month to month fee on the bill.
This is an incredibly good thing. After the terms of the phone payoff are complete, you own the phone, and you get a lower monthly bill, my bill dropped $30 swapping to this setup from their old, and I went from 5 GB/mo data to unlimited while keeping unlimited everything else.
This is what happens when the parent companies failed attempt to sell the company gives them a big pile of cash and a lot of spectrum. They start doing all the stuff they wanted to do but were never quite big enough to pull it off, so they can refocus on turning the redheaded step child (tmo usa) into a real contender.
The agenda based mods are quick, but the mods based on fact are more numerous. Never judge a quick modding, but instead wait to see it half a day later and see it stabilize.
The thing is, this person is in one of the best positions to fix the problem. He can draw attention to an issue that affects more than just rich people, but the poor people it affects don't have the money or ability to draw attention to it.
In a sense, this happening to him is a blessing to all of us, because it can end up being one more nail in the department of illegal detainment, theft and torture.
Seems your placement when it comes to education is a bold faced lie, I guess it's another one that you were planning on segueing into privatized schools or something that have been shown to be less effective than public schooling.
I don't understand how you can call government services a waste of money on essential things when they've been proven world wide to be cheaper and more effective than their privatized counterparts, but then American exceptionalism strikes again here. Things like medical care that would cover more people and cost less is a taboo here because too many rich people would have to wait more than 5 minutes to see their doctor, so it's better that we let those dirty poors die of easy to cure diseases.
The American right wing doesn't understand the long game. It's all profits across the next 2 years or cut all funding to anything and everything to ensure those profits over the next two. Never mind that in 6 years it will mean bankruptcy, those 2 years of profit are there now!
Meanwhile, the smart business man, and smart leader will be saying "we can play the short game, like everyone else and we'll get x benefit and profit, or we can reinvest in us now, and it'll pay off in 10 years 1000x"
I think it means it could form a baby solar system, because it contains to materials and mass required for it to start to form. Remember, our universe is still forming new stars even to this day, planets may also be forming, and if we can (over an extremely long period of time) watch that happen, that would be amazing.
And had been the geographic designation for North West Africa for far longer. Just because a hip hop group couldn't come up with their own acronym doesn't mean it's wrong to use it in a setting it had already been in use for generations.
We have a few dine in theaters here in Florida that do that too. They're rare (and more expensive per person) but it's a nice change from the standard theater style
Network solutions was at one point known to do that automatically if someone whoised a site. They'd register the alternate domains of it, then do the cancellation before they had to pay the ICANN fees for it.
I think they got smacked down for it, but if they were doing it, theres probably going to be others too.
And it is every business by design, after all their first goal is maximize profits. You can't do it without screwing over your customers. It's impossible.
Businesses are designed to extract wealth from you and me. That's their entire goal. They don't create wealth, they shift your share of wealth, my wealth, and the wealth of thousands to millions of others into the pockets of a few. Government programs have when compared to private sector on a significant basis been more efficient than private sector, and always been more efficient when it comes to essential services. Essential services can't be run for profit and still be efficient, it's not possible.
Here in the US we pay over 15% of our GDP on health care, while only providing an acceptable level of care to 1/3rd of the population. A socialized health care nation spends between 8-12% depending on the nation, with nations that have a large GDP being on the lower end of course. Our nearest analogue in size/economy is around the 9% mark. We are overpaying by 6% in theory just by leaving profit in there, and 6% of GDP is a huge number.
We can't have socialized health care though, it's not allowed because theres things called lobbyists who make up lies like "death panels" (we have those, we call them humana, cigna, blue cross and other such names, and pay them for the privilege of letting us die) and they make up lies like how it would cost us more even though every study has shown to the contrary.
Are government programs perfect? No, they can always be improved, but so can everything. Are they better than the private sector skimming 20+% off of it? Hell yes, if you don't see that your either blind or your someone who's doing the skimming and if your one of those people your this nations true enemy.
T-Mobile does this. If you have your own device, or are out of the subsidy contract you can get the device activated for around 40-60/mo depending on service level required.
A better way to think of it is not working for free, but direct advertising. Those that pirate do tell their friends about it, and some of them will become sales. There have been multiple case studies that show this. Piracy has been shown to increase sales provided the way to pirate wasn't made too easy. Your boss is already living off the fruits of your labor. The average CEO produces nothing yet somehow CEO's get a massive payout? You and your coworkers subsidize peoples living all the time, while they yell bootstraps at you to try to make you work harder, and slash your pay to "incentivize" you into working harder but still take a raise to make it so they "work" harder.
The target of piracy at least gains advertisement for the loss. What did you gain for the wages that were stolen from you?

That wasn't a comment by google, but instead by BPI, the British version of RIAA.
It helps if you actually know more than a 20 second glance of the topic before commenting.
It's more than just that though, it's Java and dozens of other things. Even using things forked off it is too close to the beast to be comfortable.
No, we need to cut off all ties to it, and let it finally collapse in on itself.
Can we stop promoting the use of Oracle owned software already? I really would like to see the evil beast die.

You missed his joke though. Don't worry, it'll hit you.

Both Parent and GP are pretty spot on, too bad they posted as AC's.
Like the management shortcut of using non union labor, the biggest shortcut of them all!
Incidentally, the most catastrophic of them all too, causing unstandardized and sub par construction, all while harming the economy.
Pretty much. Ive got a 66% failure rate with the SSD's I've bought, only one that survived was an Intel.
The boss has a 100% failure rate with his SSD's, 4/4 failed.
