It's not absurd that the TV is on that much, we're just not watching it. TV is on for background noise while I am on the computer, or making dinner, or doing dishes/laundry/vacuuming. I may actively watch two shows a day, but the TV is easily on three times as long.
All Trump does is reinforce that the cult of celebrity can win over a crowd. If he was a nobody, or just a regular politician with the same views, he wouldn't have had the support. The fact that he was a celebrity/famous, and that he had the money to campaign without party support, are what facilitated Joe Sixpack's vote.
Pretty sure that's not what was happening or what was alleged. The son specializes in a very specific and incredibly lucrative type of litigation. The father appears to be very friendly towards those that like to pursue such litigation, encouraging them to file in his district. The son ends up with much more work than would otherwise be the case if he lived ANYWHERE else in the US (including Silicon Valley, where there is the largest concentration of US technology firms).
Who is that old woman on your money? Is she a native Canadian, or do you more or less borrow her from somewhere else (you know, because they were in charge a long time ago and already had a decent system in place).
How often do you try to change that woman's nationality or place her under the control of an international body?
What if one day a neighbor of yours put in a very nice dock allowing easy access to the pond adjacent to most of the properties in your neighborhood. And if over time you, and your neighbors, and all of your friends decide that rather than build or continue to maintain your own dock you would instead use your neighbors.
Then one day you decide you don't particularly like that neighbor, or you don't like all of the choices they make about how to maintain their dock (you don't like the color, for example), do you think that you should be able to form a neighborhood committee and nationalize your neighbors dock? If you tried, do you think your neighbor might rightly be a little upset about the people who have for so long taken advantage of his hospitality and now want to take his property away from him, and that he might instead tell you to sod off and build your own fucking deck?
I know it's been said here, but I feel like you keep missing the point. No one is exerting control over your networks, servers, etc. You are voluntarily ceding control, so it's within your own power to stop.
Don't like the US control over DNS, put up your own root servers and use your own DNS. Want it to be international, then set it up in an international body and convince other nations to join it.
If I offer you a service, and you like it so much you decide to rely on it in lieu of starting your own service, it doesn't give you any inherent rights of ownership over my service. Don't be so lazy and entitled, get off your ass and fix your own problems.
Maybe we are playing the long con. Remember how much the world loved America (for a short while) when we elected Obama, after 8 years of Bush? Imagine how happy the international community will be when we return to sanity after 8 years of The Donald. Whoever comes next may get two Nobel prizes.
Good thing India has never seen fit to invalidate patents to produce items locally that can't be imported (or imported at a reasonable price), otherwise your comment might not make sense.
I have a portable de-humidifier in the washroom. I told my wife it was to prevent mold growth, but really it's so I can stand over it after a shower and dry my naughty bits whilst shaving.
It certainly does, just needs to be newer hardware. I have a $130 Braswell based NUC that I play x265 media on (1080p, no 4k) without issues. And it runs sub 15 watts for the total system.
Reminds me of one of my first "hacks" (not a fan of the term). When I was younger while looking through the racks of a computer hardware shop I noticed that the 14400 baud modem they had on display had more than a passing resemblance to my 9600 baud modem. I pulled my card and brought it back to the shop and examined them both closely until I found that the only real difference appeared to be in the memory, and the uart ic. Feeling a bit adventurous I found the exact same 16550 uart in their catalog, and a similar memory chip, ordered both and soldered the memory and replaced the socketed uart.
Fired it up, expecting to see smoke, or at the very least have it not function correctly, but it worked very nearly 100%. I could connect to local bulletin boards at 12,600 (I believe, my memory might be off) and occasionally at the full rate. Most things worked well except for downloading. I couldn't download using x-modem or g-modem and had to use streaming protocols like y-modem and Kermit.
If you don't mind the DVR experience, Hulu can be experienced ad free. I have a NUC that is powerful enough to run PlayOn, and playon can record (only 1 at a time) shows from Hulu and play them back skipping the commercials.
Seems much more likely that this would be used by CBP and the Coast Guard (both DHS).
Might take a decent amount of horsepower to constantly search a database for every tracked vessel and run an analysis on each to determine when they do something that is out of the ordinary, then compare those results to patterns that predict some form of unwanted behavior (trafficking, illegal fishing, hijacking, lost at sea, etc.)
Are you kidding? Walk into just about any new car dealership in the country and they will take your trade-in and pay off your loan. Any balance over the trade-in value of your car gets rolled into the new loan.
A smart financial move for the customer? Only if your new loan is considerably cheaper (percentage wise) than your old one, but people do this hundreds (maybe thousands) of times a day, every damn day.
> Ask yourself why the US has not flooded the market with foreign physicians?
Obviously I don't know where you live, but in my neck of the woods (in the US) the overwhelming majority of our MDs come from India. And I don't mean their parents immigrated here and raised children that were motivated and determined enough to become doctors, I mean born, raised, and educated in India. Got their medical degrees in India. Then they move here and set up practice.
My primary care physician is Indian, my dermatologist (and her husband, also a dermatologist) are Indian, my allergist is Indian, and my gastroenterologist is Indian. I haven't been to a non-Indian doctor for 11 years.
Obviously I believe they are capable, otherwise I would intentionally seek out non-Indian doctors, and I have no idea if they have had any impact on what a doctor is paid locally, just pointing out that being "organized" appears to have had no affect on the ability to bring in foreign doctors.
I feel like the best application, if this works as promised, is to raise NIMH cells from 1.2v to 1.5v. Sure, they work just fine in most applications, but for some they are borderline or don't work at all. I'm thinking specifically of my camera that will only work with Alkaline or NiCad.
Congress critters already spend the majority of their time and attention on gathering funds and planning for their after-government service life.
Putting in a reasonable limit (I would say 3 terms) would allow them enough time to keep the status quo financially; meaning those inclined to do so will get rich from back room dealings and insider trading, as well as moving into lobbying positions post term.
However, what it will do is break up the dynasties. It will rotate the people at the heads of the various committees so that you don't get people who are too powerful to cross. It would also encourage a more open platform, as not everyone can campaign on the same issues.
And for the non-corrupt, the good guys, 3 terms gives them enough time to accomplish whatever it is they were going to accomplish, or to figure out that they will never get it done.

Not for green Bakelite phone manufacturers.
hrmph. What do you mean "you" people!?

Nah, he hires immigrants who will work for less.

Just for my own curiosity.
What if one day a neighbor of yours put in a very nice dock allowing easy access to the pond adjacent to most of the properties in your neighborhood. And if over time you, and your neighbors, and all of your friends decide that rather than build or continue to maintain your own dock you would instead use your neighbors.

QI charging is the reason I still have my Nexus 5. I really wish we were offered basically the same phone with a better battery and a better camera.
Don't forget learning chatbots, that immediately learn to be racist.

Fuck off! 'International Monetary Front'. We're the Front for International Money'.
Wankers..
I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I thought AMD's license for the x86 instruction set becomes invalidated if they get bought out.

I am fine with sequels and reboots. I have been waiting a long time to see what happens to Jasper et. all after the Gnome Mobile.
