    You know I think it is kind of a dumb/missed opportunity for these phone manufactures. Make a line of 'classic' bricky phones where people liked the ergonomics and use up to date chips/battery.

  4. maybe it was that 200$ tax stamp for a destructive device

  5. Re:We get vacation?? on Americans Work 25% More Than Europeans, Study Finds (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    It's a regional thing too... on the east coast many of us wouldn't leave until 6 or 7. Live in southwest now and people work a straight eight.

  10. Re:What's IMDB? on Netflix Now Only Has 31 Movies From IMDB's Top 250 List (streamingobserver.com) · · Score: 1

    Hardly. Just a jaded old guy. Last time I was at the movies was 'the hobbit' movie and that gave me a lifetimes worth of American movie pleasure.

  12. Re:No-Flash advantage? on Chrome 54 Arrives With YouTube Flash Embed Rewriting To HTML5 (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    You Tube is precisely the reason I disabled Flash plugin... with flash I was having so many glitches and lockups that could bring the whole browser down. Never had problems with html 5 content.

  14. Re:How much do all the ads on webpages cost? on Verizon, AT&T Made $600 Million in Overage Fees Alone in 2016 (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    ... and carriers could start charging advertisers to let the ads go through for 'free'. I like it!

  15. I've been using Virgin Mobile for years and it is 35$ month with 5GB. The only problem with VM is there aren't any family plans, so it's best if you just need a single phone.

    Even more reason to skip in car gps option....

  20. So how many stories total did they track? Is 5 stories half the stories? Is it 5% of the stories? Without context '5 stories' is meaningless.

  21. Researchers estimate that Pokemon Go players have wasted 2.83 million years of their lives playing the game.....

  22. Boomers and America were 'gifted' by having all our factories intact while the rest of the worlds were destroyed after WWII.
