Hopefully their power never goes out or their wifi signal doesn't get jammed or turned off briefly. Otherwise they will need to restock all the floor models.
Behind words there is intent and ultimately action.
Words are not, and have never been the problem with Trump or anyone like him.
It is about what his words say about his intentions and what they say about his personal insights.
Words are just words. Everyone knows this. Nobody is offended by simple words. It is the intent behind the words that hurt and offend.
When you are running for office, people expect the ideal best out of you. That means being honest and trustworthy above all else. If we can't trust what you will do, how can we expect to make any kind of judgment about what your future actions will be?
This is why being "two faced" when you are a public figure is such a bad thing. Not because we are holding the politician to some kind of moral or PC standard, but because they have proven that they cannot be trusted. And Trump is, frankly, all over the map though some of his true feelings have leaked through the bluster and bravado. Namely his view of women. Also his view of personal gain.
There is no way you can tell me that Trump cares about anyone but Trump. Everything he has ever done is self aggrandizing and narcissistic.
Granted, those qualities exist in most politicians, but at least with some of them there was a seed of righteousness in the beginning. I think that to get anywhere greater than a local office, you sell your soul to some degree along the way. But first there was a want or even a need to help and make a difference. I just don't see that with Trump. I see someone who just wants to feed his own ego and doesn't care who he has to step on to meet that end.
You pay taxes, willingly! you let them do it. You let a cop frisk you at a stop! you let them do it. You allow intrusive body scanning at the airport! you let them do it. You let the mugger take your wallet! you let them do it.
It's about power imbalance. You don't have any power to say no in some situations. This is what people are up in arms about. This is a microcosm of what all women already know, they are in situations all the time where they do not feel that they have the power to say no, so they "let" things happen. This is not ok.
At best, this is men being ignorantly blind to their position of power. At worst (as in the case of Trump) it is exploitation of his power. He states this right there in plain English. Because he has wealth and status, he is able to "get away" with these things and the women he harasses don't put up a fight, which is seen by him (and some others) as "letting" him do these things.
When I was younger I just worked for temp agencies and liked being able to take or turn down jobs, never working more than a few months at a place.
I will quote the great sage, Neil Peart:
"We travel in the dark of the new moon A starry highway traced on the map of the sky Like lovers and heroes, lonely as the eagle's cry We're only at home when we're on the fly On the fly
We travel on the road to adventure On a desert highway straight to the heart of the sun Like lovers and heroes, and the restless part of everyone We're only at home when we're on the run On the run"
Once they find the root cause, they can come up with a process to refurbish the Note 7 stock and then quietly sell them as refurbs while they iterate to the Note 8 or whatever they want to call it... maybe skip straight to 10!
I diet in much the same way. By not keeping food in the house and forcing myself to walk or bike to the store in order to buy enough groceries for that day.
I guess I would say, I have poor impulse control when it comes to money and food. Strangely, I have a pretty strong willpower in other areas.
I usually don't have a problem, but like you say, when the emergencies come up, that's when the overdrafts used to happen.
I also like to pay things off early even if it means I have to eat peanut butter sandwiches.... So I will pay for a year of car insurance (for example) even though it blows my budget out of the water for months...
I am weird like that... but I have a system that (mostly) works.
Unfortunately Wachovia was bought out by Wells Fargo
Yeah, that is part of the problem, WF has been buying up banks left and right for years.
I always used to bank locally, but each time, WF would swoop in and buy the bank that I was using. This happened 3 times to me. At one point there were literally 3 WF branch offices within a couple miles of each other in my home town because they bought up the competition.
I recently went to Bluebird (American Express owned company) for my bill paying and checking needs. It is all pre-paid. Overdrafts are impossible.
I save as much as possible (currently 25% of my pay) for retirement and so I live paycheck-to-paycheck and no matter how diligent I am, sometimes I overdraft. Even once a year could mean almost $100 in fees and a lot of hassle, all said and done... that is too much... it's not like it even costs the bank anywhere near that in processing or handling... they just need to pay for their big expensive buildings everywhere.
Yeah, but it can be a realy PITA to get a game pad to work with some games.
Example, I love the PS3 version of Diablo III... but the PS3 doesn't belong to me so I bought the PC version... thinking I could use my game pad with it.... newp. You have to use a mouse.... how stupid is that?
I bought an old laptop (Dell D630) for $50, threw an SSD I bought off of ebay for $30 into it and it is running Lubuntu like it's a new computer. The thing boots in less than 30 seconds and runs everything I need a laptop to run.
Yeah, I spent around $1200 for an AMD rig in 2012 or so. I have only added an additional monitor and an SSD to it since then. It still runs like a champ and drives my 3 monitors (eyefinity) in all the games I play just fine.
If I do upgrade anything, it will probably just be the video card. Though, the video card I have now was nearly 2/3 the cost of the entire system.
Slashdot Mirror
I am sure it is simply whack-a-mole, but they have a dedicated team for it and there are only so many VPN providers of a scale that matter...
I am sure that a single person could easily handle monitoring of dozens of VPN providers.
Sounds like you even it too. I didn't....
But not nearly as pretty....
It's good to be a part of something bigger than yourself....
I use a parabolic curve and the power of the sun to do the work of destroying the drone in an environmentally responsible fashion...

Courage. /slow clap
Bravo Apple... Bravo

Well.... at least the poor lawyers got paid... thank goodness

Why do they need to recycle them?
Once they find the root cause, they can come up with a process to refurbish the Note 7 stock and then quietly sell them as refurbs while they iterate to the Note 8 or whatever they want to call it... maybe skip straight to 10!
Is that like what Scotty did in Relics? Poor Franklin... his pings got too many "request timed out" responses...
It's weird, I was going to say something similar.... except all your packets are belong to Faceboogle...
Sometimes they even get less security than they pay for!
Yeah, I just don't work like that.

Another thought is email cloud services will be rife with malware because that is the standard deployment vector these days.
TFA is pretty much FUD...
I am assuming this is stuff like OneDrive/SharePoint/Google Drive/Dropbox etc. where files are sync'd from user computers to the cloud.
It would make sense that malware would live in the cloud since it is user computers that are interfacing with it.
That doesn't necessarily mean that the malware is automatically going to infect anyone else inside the organization or out.
That bank is, by far, the worst when it comes to ethical treatment of customers.
Especially those who live on the edge (paycheck to paycheck). They have downright sinister overdraft policies and practices.
I ditched WF years ago and I am happy to be rid of them.
Pre-paid plan.
It just makes so much sense. Pay up front and when your account runs out of money, the service stops. No overage. It's impossible.
I have gone to the same strategy with banking. I used a pre-paid account. It's impossible to overdraft.
Because the alternative is to have to write the manual....
Yeah, but it can be a realy PITA to get a game pad to work with some games.
