Along these lines, did the EULA in question say *when* they have to give up their first born? How about just in time for the first college tuition bill to come due?
Seriously, I don't get it. On alternating weeks there are stories of how there is a shortage of qualified IT people in the US labor market or stories of how qualified IT people are training their H1-B replacements. WHICH IS IT???
He also used a parachute to escape and had a lot of knowledge on how to actually open a commercial airlines doors IN FLIGHT.
All of this is why my theory is he was in cahoots with all but one of the rest of the flight crew that stayed on board. They chucked the odd man out the door and DB took his place.
What's the statute of limitations on the crimes the guy allegedly committed?
Some person definitely committed the crimes; "allegedly" is only used when you have a particular person charged with, but not yet convicted of, said crimes. I don't think there's a statute of limitations on hijacking a commercial flight.
Your approach seems to meld the objective and the subjective. Great if that works for you; my approach keeps them as far apart as possible, which I prefer.
Oh, facts can not be true all the time, thus the need for fact checking. In my above example, if you examine Candidate X's pants and determine they are just dark green, then my fact is not true (where true is used to mean correct or incorrect). It then becomes a matter of determining truth to assign a motive to why I reported Candidate X's pants incorrectly, but the simple statement of fact itself is not a matter of truth. "True" as a shorthand for correctness or incorrectness of a fact should not be confused with "truth" even though they sound quite similar. You can apply true or not true to truth as in: "it is the true truth that Candidate X was just clueless and not actually lying". My point is that the summary has a severe problem interchanging the terms "truth" and "fact".
Facts can be objectively checked by examining the physical world: Fact: Candidate X is wearing black pants today. Check: examine candidate X's pants.
Truth almost always involves at least a partial subjectiveness or state of mind. Truth: Candidate X is a liar about what happened. Check: Lying, as opposed to being incorrect, requires a state of mind where a fact is misrepresented on purpose. It is very difficult to prove whether Candidate X was misinformed, clueless, taking an honest but wild guess, talking out of their ass to try to sound good, or actively lying to mislead just partially or totally.
That's the difference between fact and truth. Beware people who try to represent truth as fact because fact implies it can be verified objectively.
Whenever anyone throws out these terms, recall the line in that Indiana Jones move: (paraphrased) This class is about the search for facts, if you want to search for the truth then the philosophy class is down the hall. Are journalists supposed to be searching for facts or for the truth? When they say they are "fact-checking" how often is it more like "truth-checking"?
This is exactly the problem; and if you think H1-B is abused, look up L-1 visas. With those, US minimum wage doesn't even apply for someone from a country whose local wage is below that.
I've made so much money on this stock. I hope it drops and all the suckers bail so I will be buying with both fists. Be greedy when others are fearful.
TSLA has yet to ever pay a dividend so if you are referring to your unrealized gains, that's not actually money you've made just equity. And if it drops, you will lose said equity.
First the movie studios and their region by region availability but now a video game? Is there some actual reason why a video game of all things isn't availble just anywhere?
airline economics, for both passenger and freight, is built around the cost to transport each kilogram a certain distance
Ah, yes indeed, and one way to dramatically reduce that cost is transitioning to blended wing body or flying wing aircraft instead of tubes with wings. The primary problem with either is emergency evacuation because those designs call for very wide theatre style seating instead of single/dual aisle seating near exit windows. While this pod idea may not be the solution to that problem, it may lead in the direction of the solution.
Never mind, there must be special versions for corporate purchases; this model 6 my employer gave me says its capacity is 12GB, never mind the 16 the summary is complaining about.
Well, never mind that a lot of big companies use the things as on-call, etc, devices and those don't need a lot of storage for personal snapshots and movies. The really wierd part is the bit about "millions of people will appreciate". Can't they have just bought their current model with more memory? The fact that they didn't says the exact opposite; "millions of people won't get a new one because the lower memory model was the one in their budget" ?
I left verizon because they rarely update the device's system software and when they did the primary purpose seemed to be to lock down the bootloader more and more. Yes, most users don't give a hoot, but that's my case.
You can have that as soon as you can provide a smartphone out of the box that doesn't use any data. The problem isn't that you don't want to use cel network as a data network; the problem is that the phone treats it as just another network to transfer via.
Nice rant about the US and UK pillaging the innocent locals. You seem to have missed the most obvious choice: Local Tanzanian officials will vastly enrich themselves and send their families to the US and UK while leaving nothing for the people.

let's make it easy for children and the brain dead to blow a small fortune on cheap crap they don't need
Walmart is the US's largest grocery chain by both number of locations and amount of food sold, but nice hipster rant against Big Company.
Some people (big companies) get all bent out of shape if you rip off their font without a license to do so.

If I was out making that kind of money, I wouldn't have time to lounge around watching movies on this kind of home system.
A bandwidth hog is using more than typical for him/herself, a bandwidth abuser is using more than typical to abuse others.
stupid finger, that's supposed to be an O not an S
There's a difference between bandwidth hogs and bandwidth abusers. I prefer they could spend a little effort to discern the difference.

I use an app that puts out fake GPS data for other apps. They all think I hang out at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave all day.
Please stop generalizing.
With regards to "your" television watching habits, or just in general?
