I can't believe any amount of sanctions was going to get in their way if they really wanted to prioritize building a nuke (assuming they're capable to begin with). Sanctions are only a motivating factor when properly used (such as in this situation).
It's true that facebook didn't really create any service that wasn't already around (neither did twitter for that matter), but people like convenience and controlled ecosystems even if they already know how to accomplish everything independently. This from someone who doesn't have a facebook profile (just throw-away account).
You act like they're going through your pockets. Next you'll be complaining about egregious privacy violations when they ask for your zip code to confirm your credit card authorization.
I don't show my receipt at the door unless it's at a membership store where I could lose my account if I fail to do so (like Costco). I'm there to exchange cash for goods.
And the guy at the door is there to make sure you did exchange the cash. Ever check your bag as you walk out to make sure you have all your goods? It's a private business, so what if they want to make sure people aren't taking their merch out the door without paying? You may not have a signed a contract, but it's implied when you walk into a store that they have the right to protect their stuff (security cameras or whatever else). You're just being a dick and making the security guard's job more difficult.
These days they don't pump out much of anything other than half-baked promises. Look at all the physical vaporwear they've been pedaling. That's become the problem with Valve. They don't want to make HL3, which is fine I guess, but they don't seem to do shit else either. Maybe instead of just letting his employees work on whatever they want, Gabe should start mandating that they also produce *something* marketable.
I think the complain isn't that they didn't allow access to more sites, it's that they're marketing it as the "internet" when it's anything but. Free Wikipedia for Africa is great even if it is just a ploy to get more people on Facebook. Just label it as such.
I have this model in 50". For the price I don't regret it at all, but I'm not sure how people are using these things as computer monitors. Mine makes a buzzing when it's on, which is fine if I'm watching TV because you can't hear it over the TV audio. In a quiet room though it would be very irritating.
Stop funding college education for everyone. No government support for student loans; no free college from taxpayer money.
This is a horrible idea.
When the businesses sweat, tell them... tell them we have workers here, and that they can certainly find our fine, educated young men chomping at the bit, ready to take low salaries and transfer time-consuming grunt work off those high-salaried professionals while their employer works with them and funds their further education.
Except they won't. We're in a more globalized economy than ever before. The tech industry here doesn't have to exist here specifically, and it's continually outsourcing whenever possible. The saving grace is that those educated here are usually more qualified and higher quality, even compared to most H1Bs.
Making it more difficult to get the education needed to be competitive is the last thing we should be doing. Maybe instead of eliminating college subsidies we just eliminate the art history subsidies.
putting high risks on the individual, demanding they speculate on the greater market, take on the risk of unemployment themselves, go years without building their career to get an education, and then hope that everyone else didn't see the same opportunity and speculate the same way and flood the market.
More people qualified to create valuable, exportable products is never a bad thing (assuming it isn't an immediate influx). An industry can shrink or grow based on available talent.
it benefits the poor least by burdening them with the consequences of dicking around in college hoping for a future career when they could be trying to get into their career now, immediately, for pay
You mean a career at mcdonalds? This may be true if you're really "dicking around", but if you're studying hard for a quality education then yes it does benefit the poor. Education is the best way to lift anyone out of poverty.
Businesses ultimately pay for the education of their graduates through salary. It's true that it would be nice to get businesses to invest more in education directly, but eliminating government subsidies is not the way.
Hm. Where did this report come from? Engadget reports the NTSB claiming "that the pilot didn't meet experience requirements for flying in the poor nighttime conditions he faced".
You realize any establishment has your credit card info potentially forever if you've ever bought anything from them using your card? Trust in who you give your card to isn't what the system is built on. It's trust in the issuer of the card to not hold you liable for fraudulent transactions.
No they live and die by Outlook on the PC interfacing with an Exchange sever. I've been able to get my email from Exchange on my Android phone for years now. I don't see any reason to use Outlook for Android. Just another non-system app.
Any disruption in the market will hit the bigger two competitors—AT&T and Verizon—significantly harder
How do you figure? I would think ATT has a larger buffer of customers to lose before it goes into the red. Tmo and Sprint are struggling for customers as it is.
To answer the question in your title, yes. GTA 5 is coming out for PC pretty soon which I've been looking forward to playing on my sofa along with a bunch of other single player games. This along with having a new cheap 4K TV motivated me to get a new wicked powerful gaming box for the living room (about 600 bucks).

They don't pump out a lot of games.

Whoops. Post is actually hilarious.
Apparently you can. My bad.
They technically run android apps, but most android apps rely on Google Play Services which is unavailable on BB.

Why do people think this show is funny?
It's not the drive itself. It's the files. I can't rip the SSD out of my computer and plug it into another one very easily.

I work for a large tracking agency and would like to speak with you about a business opportunity.
So maybe if the Indian economy tanks because outside companies feel they can't take the risk, it will create incentive to improve safety.
You guys are basically just proving the point of this article.
So how do I go about seeing what people bought with their credit card?
No they live and die by Outlook on the PC interfacing with an Exchange sever. I've been able to get my email from Exchange on my Android phone for years now. I don't see any reason to use Outlook for Android. Just another non-system app.
They're liars, every frackin' one of them.
No. Next question.
