  1. Rosemary is not easier, unless you have very specific environmental conditions where you live. Ie. hot and dry mostly. Rosemary hates getting it's roots wet and will die quickly that way. Which applies to most temperate areas.

  2. Charging the target on California Man Sentenced To 20 Years In Deadly Kansas 'Swatting' (fox4kc.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It just seems weird to me that the intended target was charged as a co-conspirator. Was it for giving a fake (old) address? Seems a really low bar to co-conspire in something, if you can get charged for misdirection against and evading someone actively trying to cause you harm.

  3. Surely YA-cobs-haun would be more accurate, no?

    Uhm, that's why he's asking if people can actually use them. The last question is rhetorical. ....

    So basically likely a cease and desist?

    That's not true, because there doesn't have to be a transaction for an assets value to change. If noone is interested in bitcoin from now on and never will be again, it's value is zero. Regardless of who holds how many and if any transactions have taken place.

  8. My money is on advanced stage syphilis.

    Actually in this case, I think he could be lured into some sort of Ecto-Containment System using fried chicken as bait.

  10. Re:Or the UN climate report on Trump Says He Doesn't Believe Government Climate Report Finding in a New Low (apnews.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    The UN climate report is not a scientific publication. It's a heavily edited political manifesto. I'm not a denier, but it would serve people well to retain a little critical thinking when evaluating where a message comes from.

    Now, now, it's not polite to make fun of stroke victims.

  12. Re:Economics 101 on Netflix Says It Will Test Lower-Price Subscription Plans (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm not a subscriber. I probably wont be either, unless they give the damn things away. For me it's not a pricing issue at all, but an issue with the rather limited, lackluster catalogue available in my country. It has become more and more limited. I've tried a trial month a few times over the years, but invariably by the time the month is up, I've watched everything I would want to watch that's on offer. What is the point, then?

    By all means, charge more for a more comprehensive catalogue and I might actually be inclined to stick around. A few dollars more or less does not make it break anything.

  13. Probably not preferable, no. Adding weight and complexity and therefore costs to all haul of 11.000 ships vs. losing 10 ships a year - I'd expect it's cheaper to just lose the ships.

    What do you mean exempt employees??
     
      Anyhow, I fill out my own timesheet, so I get paid for the actual work I do, regardless of where or when I do it. Regarding only office-time as work is as archaic as it is idiotic. I also count when I work in the evening from home, naturally, why would the train be any different?
     
    People should honestly worry more about sending any sort of even marginally sensitive data using a train's open wifi.

  15. Yeah, he pretty much took time out of his busy schedule ripping people off to commit a heinous crime. Good riddance.

    Incidentally all the good versions of uTorrent also pre-date it's acquisition by BitTorrent (Inc. or whatever).

  18. Surely women don't die more. May more often, though :-p

  19. Wait, up to 50.000 high-paying jobs? All I see are stories about how Amazon underpays their employees and how being a warehouse worker is dreadful. So, define high-paying I guess?

  20. How much did the holocost cost, I wonder.

  21. If I were a potato, I would be a world record potato. What relevance is that to anything, since I'm (probably) not a potato. And Fortnite is not a website.

  22. Changed in what way? on Free To Play, Expensive To Love: 'Fortnite' Changes Video Game Business (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Microtransactions have been a thing for a long time. So has free to play. So has free to play with microtransactions. Exactly how is Fortnite changing anything, except the transactions aren't so micro anymore? That's hardly revolutionary. Price gouging at it's best. (Which incidentally has also been around for ages).

    Agreed, this seems especially clueless. The main thing I like about my SE is that it can work well as an iPod when working out, it can connect easily to my ancient car stereo, etc. Actually pretty much everything I use it for that doesn't involve taking calls, will be hampered by the missing headphone jack. Guess I gotta ... stockpile old SEs then?

  24. Rake. The word is rake. Unless you have a really grim view of Disney (you might, and you might also be entirely justified based on their Star Wars track record so far).
