Unless you are at a restaurant. You can use the credit card without having to get up from your table. Of course the bigger problem would be that no restaurant accepts nfc.
With no expiration clause and the ability to resell the license than in effect the license holder owns the rights to the spectrum. Licenses should expire after 50 years, carry yearly fees and not be transferable, this way the spectrum can be re-utilized for services in the public's best interests.
The federal poverty line leaves much of the country unaffordable that is why states and cities have supplemental programs to help low income residents. Even though they are not federal programs they are still government assistance programs.
"A government MP offers the scant assurance that this legislation is not "trauma tainted," as it was drafted well prior to this week's instigating incidents."
Its introduction was obviously waiting for a trauma to capitalize on.
How about we start with the bare minimum. A family of 4 with 2 working full time jobs at minimum wage, defined as 40 hours a week should earn enough not to qualify for any government assistance programs. Once we have done that we can argue about improving people lives.
I only wish this was typical, unfortunately for most wages have been in a slump for decades. The easy credit and virtual wealth of the house bubble market only masked the problem for a while.
The remark was about a FREE iPhone not about the existence of the Lifeline assistance program.
"not exactly a iPhone" could be said about a clay brick as well.
Minimum wage should be a reasonable living wage for the area. If $15 an hour is reasonable in Seattle and the cost of living is 36% lower in Omaha, than its reasonable that the minimum wage there should be $9.6
The CEO that can keep 60,000 employees working in industry that punishes failures with bankruptcy is worth, what, maybe 1/60,000 of each employee's income?
How you value skilled work is interesting...
No one is saying corporate officers should not be rewarded for their performance, what I am saying is that the rest of the staff's payrolls should not be treated as a expense that needs to be kept as low as possible.
The PS4 has GDDR5 RAM while the Xbox-1 uses GDD3 RAM with 32MB of high-speed ESRAM integrated directly into to processor die. This means that Xbox-1 code needs design considerations and optimized code to take advantage of the small but super-high speed cache RAM. Most cross-platform developers simply will not spend resources on that.
It was IBM's decision to end cell development due to it not having much of a market other than the PS3's and super-computers. Given the lackluster specs Sony went with for the PS4 it is unlikely that they could have convinced IBM to continue with cell's development even if they had tried.
The population density of Sweden is lower than that of the United States.
Of course this is actually a fairly small consideration overall, but I'm only pointing it out due to the inevitable posts saying that the population density of the United States is to blame.
A countries overall population density is largely pointless when talking about internet links. An extreme example would be Australia, which has a low overall population density due to much of the country being uninhabited desert. The parts of Australia that are inhabited have a high population density.
Everyone talks about download speed but the goal of internet connection shouldn't be how many 4K movies can you stream at a time. For a true Internet, one not dominated by a handful of big name services, we need upload speeds to be close if not symmetric with download. Unfortunately upload speeds are abysmal for even most high-speed lines.
Stalin and Hitler signed a a non-aggression pact, that's a far cry from being allies as you state. I am not sure how being vicious dictators makes them "brothers" or using brutal tactics makes organizations "kin".
ISIS stated goal is to create a Caliphate, in layman's terms a Islamic State, therefore they are much more similar to the Taliban that created one in Afghanistan than Al Qaeda who's goal was and remains Global Jihad. Their use of tactics developed and commonly associated with Al Qeda terrorists only speaks of their effectiveness rather than a shared goal. As it stands the two groups are not rivals as commonly portrayed in Western media but rather bitter enemies, each believing that the other is impeding their goals.
Look at photographs from the sixties and seventies of Americans or even earlier. Normal people.
From the eighties onward they've become walking Bibendums. It's tragic if you think about it. An entire people incapable of eating healthy food. Children are obese, parents are obese. It's clear something went wrong between the seventies and the eighties. What ?
The share of spending on food has fallen from %30 of the household budget in the 50's to less than %13. Simply put until quite recently overeating was something only the rich could comfortably afford.
This is all speculation based on the privacy policy. To my knowledge no one has done any research to find out exactly what data. if any besides Crash Reports, Microsoft is actually collecting.

scaremongering has worked pretty well in the U.S.

The real problem is that supply and demand is not a good way to set wages as a job to make a living is a necessity for most people.
Sure just look at how great automation of phone customer support has worked out.

Subsidizing the payrolls of corporations which pay less than a living-wage threw welfare is bad for taxpayers!
A great example is Best Buy, I know the poor are not walking in there to $3000 TV with their paycheck.
Do you know any poor people? If you did, you would be astonished at the things they squander their money on.
Poor people spend money only on drugs and alcohol; Ask any rich Republican they friendship lots of poor people /SARCASM
If only I had a mod point for every Slashdot story claiming a battery breakthrough!

I am not sure how any European can claim to be the first to discover America when the continent was populated by humans for thousands of years.
