The "crackers" appears to be replaced by "fireworks" by the time I got here. What I want to know is WTF: "The air quality index hasn't gone down 400 reading, which is considered hazardous." Gone down 400 reading?
You press down hard and get a carbon copy of your ballot to take home.
I don't WANT a carbon copy to take home; so after the revolution the other side finds my old ballots and puts me up against the wall.
I want the electronic voting machine to spit out a receipt summarizing my choices that I can look over and drop in the guarded box on the way out. If fraud/bugs/whatever is suspected in the machine's tally then the election officials can manually add up the papers from the box.
Dishonest employers fooling employees into thinking they're contractors has actually long been a mainstay of the technical industry. Seriously. If you think you're a contractor and are rejecting my assertion here but you still have to report to an office at a specific time determined by your employer, you're a sucker.
For set time periods (defined in N months ahead of time), the contractor model makes sense for both employer and employee. What you're describing, I hope, is the open ended kind of "contractor".
Nuclear power has more than 0 casualties in actual fact during its 60 year history. It's not comparable to coal or oil obviously, but lying is not required.
In the spirit of the first post that pointed out the mist from the cooling tower wasn't "steam", I'd like to point out that nuclear power has never caused a single death because all deaths are caused by lack of oxygen flowing to the brain.
T-Mobile is very clear that they mean there is not an amount of data beyond which a user will incur additional fees or penalties. Such an amount would be a limit. Their advertising is completely true for that meaning of unlimited. They are quite up front with this; it is not buried in the small print that over a certain amount the user's speed may be throttled. This is fine is definitely a case of some crybaby nitpicking definitions. I've had every one of the major carriers and T-Mobile is the only one that's not only easy to understand but actually has this kind of plan for a long time now. I'd like to know if some congresscritter who gets big donations from ATT or Verizon called the FCC to "look into it".
How do all the various social assistance programs not already make up a de facto basic income? DHHS's annual budget is $1.2T worth of payment transfers from high income to low/zero income citizens.
Wells Fargo slapped with a fine a tiny fraction of a percentage of what they took in by this scam
I don't think the bank itself as a corporate entity made any money. This was employees trying to game the company for personal bonus money and to meet performance targets.
like the vast majority of Americans, your vote doesn't count in any case
No individual raindrop is responsible for the devastating flood. But they were all needed to make it happen. Each vote does count. That is kinda the basic "what happens" during an election: counting all the votes.
In this particular case, being malleable at this point shows one hasn't been paying attention. Any individual candidate's fluffiness or scruffiness is much less important than their backing party, and the party agendas are slow to change. Slow as in measured in decades.
Assuming there is some legal threat over their heads to admit it, just paraphrase the main character in Apocolypse Now and be done with it: "We would be indisposed to discuss such a program if such a program did in fact exist."
We asked Samsung why desktop PC penetration is so low
All the big PC vendors see SSD as a huge markup and thus don't sell anywhere near what they could if they priced more reasonably. Instead of the upgrade to SSD being the retail price of the SSD minus the OEM cost of the HDD, the upgrade option is usually a good margin way over the retail cost of an SSD and never mind the cost of the HDD they would replace it with.
The Moon's biggest advantage over Mars is that the gravity is low enough to make a space elevator with existing materials technology as the first project.
Who's stupid enough to keep a foreign queen as head of state?
A foreign queen whose only real political power is in charity fundraising seems like a brilliant move compared to what most people get when they have a local monarch.
In addition to bandwidth is free you forgot the one about how since the hardware infrastructure for networks is a sunken cost it should be free to use. I haven't figured that one out yet; apparently the underlying assumption is that the investors who paid up front ought to be robbed of their expected returns.

The 6D also comes with WiFi anyway so it's all set to use with this card reader-less laptop.

It's entrepreneurship because you get to decide when, where, and how much you work.
That is the definition of flexible work hours. The definition of entrepreneur is someone who establishes a business.
Facebook is too young to do such a study reliably.
Yep; that's why I exclusively haunt this site instead of that newfangled thing. Someone should do an identical study with users here.

He may still have hired the best people but did he license the best software? Apparently not.

Sorry, wrong agency. Federal and state welfare spending still pass $1T so my point stands.

No, it's worse! The touchpad hardware in those trackpad is probably fine
No, the hardware probably isn't fine; i have a fairly new thinkpad and it has this wretched spring loaded trackpad that's a nightmare to try to use.
That's why mine is 123456.
How did he stay awake to work on the thing to get it to make tea to keep him awake in the first place?

Why wasn't production in the millions? The recall covers 2.5 million units.
I'm just curious how the hell this problem got past their QA department?
Because they sold millions of them and a few dozen have caught fire. Kinda hard to thoroughly run millions of units through a QA department.

What's wrong with being malleable?
In this particular case, being malleable at this point shows one hasn't been paying attention. Any individual candidate's fluffiness or scruffiness is much less important than their backing party, and the party agendas are slow to change. Slow as in measured in decades.

That's because there's no money to be made curing people. Better to keep them sick and hooked on pharma.
Who cares about money? There's more political power in keeping people hooked on government. DHHS's budget is $1.15T for next year.
