Am I the only one scared of a banana that after a month of sitting on a kitchen counter is still firm, yellow and ready to eat? Maybe this is the future of fruits and vegetables, but right now I'd be hard pressed to pick it up and eat it. I'll stick to my every 3-4 days of hitting the farmer's market on the way home and buying only what I plan to eat for a few days.
I'd love for someone to make a major/blockbuster type movie about this, and have the black hole destroy everything about 25 minutes in. The movie would just stop, the lights would turn on, and that's that! They could CGI all the previews of the show so it wouldn't even cost that much to make.
Winston takes his place in front of the telescreen for the Physical Jerks, a daily exercise routine for Outer Party members. During the exercise, he thinks about the past and remembers a time as a child when he and his family ran into a bunker during a bombing. He is lost in the memory as he tries to touch his toes, causing the exercise director to shout at him from the telescreen.
Since once your drone exited the store, chances are cops still aren't there yet. Then, you just fly, literally, as the crow flies to your pickup spot. Nobody on foot would be able to catch up (short of a parkour vigilante), so your only real chance of being caught is if there was an eyewitness to you retrieving your haul from the drone.
Or they let them get out of site then use a cheap signal amplifier. There was a rash of these break-ins in California, I think, of thieves standing by a car outside of apartment complexes, amplifying the signal to the point it reached indoors, and they could then just open the door as the proximity FOB was activated. So unless your fob was in a faraday cage in your house (microwave, freezer), you could come out to your stuff missing (I don't believe they actually stole the cars).
A sport doesn't have to involve 6'8" men who weigh 285 lbs with 8% bodyfat. And given the fact that it is 'e'Sport, how physical can it get? These guys spend 1000s of hours honing skills and reaction times, so in reference to training, for what they do they put in just as much time and effort as the 'athletes' you speak of.
Like it or not, gaming is big business that you can actually make lots of money with. Heck, my wife and I used to level up chars in EverQuest 2 and sell them on Sony's marketplace. We got in early, and made over $2000/mo selling chars with end game gear on them. We stopped once the market was flooded, but you get the idea. I wish Twitch TV was around back then, as some of the top people there pull in $50k/yr+ from their streams.
I had a.22 calibur rifle in the 5th grade (granted it was a single shot). Some parents teach their children weapon safety at an early age. Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing what the kid did was at all safe and responsible, but fail to see the issue of an 18 year old with a weapon, especially since they can be in the military at that age.
I live in Albuquerque, NM, and I tried to get a business account when we got our house in 2003, but due to zoning I couldn't (this was through Comcast). I have CenturyLink DSL now, and don't really have the need or desire to run my own at the moment, so I can't speak to being able to do it now.
Out of curiosity, do you get the usual business SLA with your service?
When I bought a new car, I had to leave my truck at the lot and come back for it. I tried to get a taxi on three different occasions (I've never been in one before), and all three times I got screwed over; two just didn't show, and the third wanted to charge almost $50 to go less than 8 miles. I installed the Uber app, and had a car in front of my house in less than ten minutes. Only cost $17 for the ride. I will walk or just stay home before I ever take a taxi in this city after that experience.
As far as them inconveniencing everyone, I'm with the above poster: if I was caught in that, I'd do everything I could to avoid them there as well while doing everything I can to support anything that takes them out of business. There are any number of ways they can protest. Disrupting traffic when people need to either get to jobs or possibly a hospital is just doing it wrong.
It's impossible for handouts to NOT be abused, even when you give food stamps that have limited purpose uses, people sell it for pennies on the dollar to buy drugs/alcohol/tobacco.
Here in Albuquerque, NM, I saw a news report of a tattoo artist doing tattoos for food stamps. He got around it by having the people use the stamps to buy food, then trade the food for the work. All the appropriate departments looked into it, and decided it was a loophole they could not close. So, as you state, to make any of these benefits able to not be abused is almost impossible.
I'm a former lurker and mostly current lurker. Created an account in the mid-5 digit range, but left for a while and when I came back I forgot what it was, so I created this one. In my early 40s now.

Short answer: Nibiru
"It's not a purse! It's European!"
Officer, someone stole my black leather bag with a strap!. You mean a purse? Yes, a purse. I carry a purse!
I love that episode.

For all intents and purposes, the underlying OS should not have even been mentioned. It had NOTHING to do with the hack.

Why would you not have a backup? You can't fix stupid, no matter what you use.
Pulling up every tweet which uses
I'm going to hazard a guess and say it IS Twitter. lol

U mad bro? Because people are doing what they love and getting paid extremely well for it?
He is 18 so? How does he have a hand gun?

This reminds me of the Gw'oth and the formation of the Ol't'ro.
Maybe skynet actually ran on a Beowulf rat cluster.
In this case, wouldn't it be a Beowolf cluster?
Nope, I have a Cox Cable business account, no blocked ports, no caps, no limits. $69/mo.
Exactly. Business account. I believe most residential plans block ports needed to run your own mail server. Or at least they used to.
lol!

neighborhoods that have 1.5mpbs connections
mpbs = Multi Petabit per Second? Christ, some people will complain about anything.
I will never understand why the 'evil bit' wasn't set on their systems.
(there was another asteroid movie that came out same time, it has been forgotten)
Are you talking about the movie Deep Impact?
A lot of sites still don't require the three digit code on back (sadly).
