According to the article you posted: The original trilogy did make a profit, they just hid it.
Solo may be a different matter.
I am noticing that the critics ratings is significantly higher than the audience score, on rottentomatoes. That happened with the last Star Wars movie as well.
Bottom line: Disney is killing the franchise. There is not a real princess in the movie, and everybody is sick to the back teeth of Disney's SJW crap.
There is no worthwhile story any more, and there hasn't been since the original trilogy.
I have no axe to grind. I don't care what browser anybody uses.
All google wants to do is send you targetted ads, instead of random ads. You are going to see ads anyway.
Google is not prying into your private life. Google has billions of users, and uses algorithms to target ads. It is unlikely that anybody at google would recognize your name, or know anything about you.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it is a big deal. If so, maybe somebody could explain why?
The browsers, and the companies that make them, all suck.
Google has become just as evil as Microsoft. Both company's want to make their browser the standard, and as soon as that happens - embrace, extend, extinguish.
The urban myth about an man-made "island" that would be self-sufficient, and free of all government regulation, has been around since - at least - the 1970s.

IMO: Slackware package management leaves a lot to be desired.
I know there are many package management add-ons for Slackware, but there is nothing official, nothing standard. Frankly, it's a mess.
In other words, you have no real argument.
Why do people want to live under the rule of unelected bureaucrats?
Calling it "Trump's DoJ" does not make much sense.
The DoJ is being ran by Trump hating Rosenstien.
Sessions has recursed himself from anything meaningful. In most recent news, useless Sessions has refused to prosecute the Awangate scandal.
It would be that: first you have to have a good story.
Big name actors, special effects, respected franchises, and all that are great - but if you don't have a good story, you have nothing worth watching.
I need to care about the characters. The character's actions, and the story line, have to make sense.
Incoherent stories slapped together by marketing research, committees, focus groups, and agenda driven feminists; just don't cut it.
When it comes to stories: Pixar blows Disney out of the water.

I use firefox anyway.

Seems to me the concerts are packed. The "artists" are insanely rich, as are their promoters.
Isn't that what business is about? Where is the problem?
I still listen to stuff like Santana and Eric Clapton. I know: "get off my lawn."
Even if Tommy Robinson were a bigot, since when has that been illegal?
Do you advocate the Orwellian practice of punishing people for thought crimes?
Are other bigots held to the same standard? For example, what about hate-preaching Muslim Mullahs?

Apple would do the same, if they could.
I just wish firefox worked better.
There is also Devuan, Gentoo, Void Linux, and others.

Code Name Crossfire Hurricane: The Secret Origins of the Trump Investigation

I can listen to any song I want on youtube. Usually with no advertisements.
I can also watch a lot documentaries, movies, and TV shows.
How does this affect me in my day to day life?
It amounts to targetted ads, right?
Why to clean up Clinton's mess.
Yet another Trump success.
Getting to be a huge cash crop now.
This would keep the crops protected.
A lot of posters here seems to be very confused about that.
The existence of the USPS is not under attack. Just certain practices that may need to be modified.
Trump is on it.
I believe there is a correlation between mass Muslim immigration and crime - especially rape, and especially especially child rape.
However, I see no indication that this particular woman was a hadji.
This looks like a case of a mentally ill person with a gun.
Really no difference between the two partner companies any more.
The H1B program is designed to replace Americans with cheaper offshore workers.
Unlike most visas, the H1B specifically allows companies to replace Americans with cheaper H1Bs, even if the American worker is doing a good job.
The program is a complete scam.
> The whole idea if merit based immigration is based on the false racist assumption that somehow those classified as belonging to a White race are superior
No it is not. Please stop lying.
> The State Department has ended an Obama-era program to grant visas to foreign entrepreneurs who want to start companies in the United States.
The companies those entrepreneurs start are staffing companies. Those staffing companies specialize in bringing over visa workers to take US jobs.
Staffing companies do not actually create jobs, they are just middle-men.
The vast majority of H1B workers are far from exceptional.
Why does the H1B specifically allow replacing an American worker, with a cheaper H1B?
