  1. Sounds like a local problem. My kid's schools in Maryland most definitely fail kids who don't put in the work. They are now given the opportunity to retake failed tests, but assignments lose a letter grade every day they are late, so better not wait too long to do that assignment.

  2. Are you sure the KKK is considered a criminal organization? I can find no evidence for this assertion.

  3. WHAT IS LOWERCASE?

  4. But how does that apply to rendering fat? /sarcasm

  5. Heck, Assange hasn't even broken any laws in the US, why would they want him at all? He published embarrassing stuff, so did Greenwald and I don't see anyone trying to rendition him from Brazil. Why all this conspiracy theory persists, I can't imagine. The guy raped two women, why do people defend him like this?

  6. I'm not your pal, friend.

  7. My curiosity is why they think this was:

    1. A rendition flight at all
    2. Had anything to do with Snowden

    I think people have a higher opinion of how much Snowden matters than is actual reality.

    I have to say, AC has some good points here. I would not want to be part of the Reddit community because of the way they treat people who don't blindly agree with them.

    I would be proud to have that mod, it should even be an achievement.

    Yeah, but the tiering goes the other direction. The people who use the most power pay the least per MWH for that power.

    Because he points out an actual trend that has been happening?

  14. In that case, you might want to consider Amazon Webmail, $4/user/month, and gives you 50GB of storage for email.

    I am testing it for a @lastname.email domain that I might resell to my extended paternal family.

    Thank you for that, I will order a couple of those. These look like they might be useful for many different purposes.

  21. If you are sick of hearing people bitch about Comcast, it seems the problem is at your end, not theirs.

    Comcast is notorious for slowing connections down, but you have a different experience. This does not invalidate all of the complaints people have about them, you just have a different experience. One data point does not disprove a problem.

    YOU don't get to redefine words. AC gave you the definition of spam, unsolicited commercial email. You don't get to claim it is something that it isn't just because you want to use the word where it doesn't belong.

    In this case, the cheats allow things like auto-aim that instantly headshots the target, and wall hacks that allow you to see the other players through walls. There are also speed hacks, and I am sure many more hacks I haven't even heard about.

    There is no enjoyment in it except ruining the game for everyone else.

    For the issue you speak of, I would look into possible other microwave sources, such as the microwave. It is possible that the shielding on the microwave is failing, or that you may need to move the AP in relation to the kitchen or any other microwave source.

  25. Your wife has more than 15 GB email routinely enough that you built a cron job for it? That is pretty extreme email usage.
