The 'fix' for student loans if for the schools to 'co-sign' the loan with the student. The student can only discharge the dept back to the school after X number of years of paying Y% of their salaries towards the loan. You figure out the X and Y with some negotiations but the end result is if you go into a field where there is no way to pay off the loan in X years paying Y% of the salary then the school should never have loaded you the money in the first place. One of two things happen, schools either don't give out loans for those majors anymore or they reduce the cost of the major. No longer are kids getting 100's of thousands in student loans for art history because the school will end up eating that cost in X years.
Can Youtube embed tags in the videos, so that if someone downloads it off one channel then tries to upload it elsewhere that this information is automatically detected as a fraudulent video? Either that or have watermarks on every video with the channel name, so the same issue would apply, youtube could detect any existing watermark in the video being uploaded and know to automatically nix the upload? There has to be a technical solution that would prevent duplication by bots or spammers.
How is this any different than eBay? They take a 10% cut of the entire total not even the difference between ask / bid. They're providing a service in creating a marketplace for transactions to occur. They've decided to take a cut out of the 'created' value for the individuals rather than taking a lump sum % of total rent. If you get a management company to run a property they take 10% plus first month of any new tenet.
But they did 'create value' by getting you more than you asked for in rent. If I'm trying to rent for 1200/mo and end up getting 1400/mo they created 200/mo in extra value for me. So they're going to take 25% of that difference, I'm still getting the other 75% more than I expected.
On the other hand if it goes for less I ask for 1200/mo and only get 1000/mo then the renter got a good 'deal' of 200/mo off and will have to pay them 25% of that discount. They still got a good 'deal' that they wouldn't have otherwise.
Meanwhile this all assumes a difference in expected value by the landlord not understanding the market themselves.
If you're having that many issues it's almost certainly a hardware or driver problem. There is no reason you'd be experiencing that many software crashes everyday when most people experience none, unless you're just really really unlucky.
This is probably a very regional thing. In my neighborhood the UPS, USPS and Fedex people take turns screwing up royally. I'm still not sure how USPS can deliver to the wrong house in a neighborhood (giving my packages to neighbors instead of me) when they come to the house every damn day. UPS is generally better but have the same problem on occasion and Fedex is just plain awful here.
Yeah, I've resorted to leaving all my devices in mute until I actually want to hear something. It's a must at work, if you leave your volume on you never know when something might just blare out.
Screw statistics, if you want practical bring back Home ec and teach basic accounting, teach about credit cards, checking, saving, mortgages, etc. That's far more useful to force upon everyone. That said if you can't get through Algebra II with at least a C in high school you probably aren't cut out to tie your shoelaces let alone become any of the professions the article mentions.
The rumors of the new Apple TV don't even sound compelling. As of the latest rumors I've seen there is no HDMI 2.0 or "4K" support. So if they don't upgrade again for 2-3 years then thats a long time ignoring 4k content which they could charge a premium for streaming 4k content now as its still not mass market.
They seem to be pushing IoT and making the Apple TV the smart hub for the house. That 'could' be interesting, but it also could be a completely unused feature for 99% of customers and go no where.
Most of these sites should have two factor autentication set up at least with a mobile so you don't need a FOB for free. Google does. Not sure how many others do.
People seem to forget the other angle. In fighting for our entertainment time, TV has gotten much much better in the last 10 years. Instead of just dumb sitcoms there are now amazing shows like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones and many many others that are as good or better than anything hollywood has been doing with movies. So now we have a choice of watching amazing TV shows for free/marginal cost or the huge cost of going to a theater with all the detractors that have been listed time and time again on here. How many get a Netflix subscription for watching movies? I almost exclusively use it for TV shows (House of Cards is another amazing example).
If you are salaried then no, you shouldn't have to stay late or work weekends to fix bugs. If they aren't satisfied with your work production in your 40 hour work week then they should let you go and try to find someone better.
If you get paid hourly then perhaps. If it is irrefutable that its your fault/bug then you should feel obligated to fix for no extra charge/hours to them. If there is any doubt on the source of the bug (multiple developers) then you should be paid to fix it.
If you are a contractor then almost certainly it should be fixed for free. You are paid to do a job and if it wasn't done right the first time then you need to make it right or expect not to get many more contracts if you leave behind in your wake bugs that either go unfixed, or you charge additional to fix.
I haven't bought from them in ages. Seemed anytime I went there lately they just had old refurbished junk and the prices weren't even that great compared to what you could get that stuff for off ebay.
They really need to 'reboot' the game rather than come out with patches every couple of years. They need to just retire the current WoW and start from scratch. There is a barrier of entry for new players now with such a large installed base of 'senior' players but the senior players are aging. They need something for the next generation and the graphics of WoW just can't compare to most of what is out there today. They need to start from scratch with a new engine, storyline, classes, races, etc... Then build back up from there. The writing is on the wall for them now. The new generation is also probably not willing to fork out 15/mo for a game and are getting use to free-to-play style with in game purchases. With that frame of mind you either need to join that wave, or provide something significantly better to get them to pay. The current WoW can't attract that new gen of gamer.
I can't say I've ever been affected by DRM because I just don't buy software or games anymore. Why complain about all these things having DRM, just don't buy it. Simple enough solution. If you aren't buying crap with DRM why complain about it? They'll figure out DRM is a problem real quick if no one is buying their shit.
So if you have 4 USB SS ports on a motherboard that motherboard is going to have to be able to supply 400W @ 5V? You can't be serious. We'll need dedicated power connections on the motherboard just to supply this.
The example of using a TV to power multiple devices raises the same concerns. Now the TV power supply will be much more complicated. Rather than power just the 60-70W the TV draws it needs to have a power supply that could supply 100's of extra watts?
The only application I see for this is to use 100W USB SS ports on walls for a common household DC standard interface. That could be interesting, but integrating it into devices is not simple. It adds levels of complexities to the devices that will need to supply the power.
All these shows (Futurama, Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park) are all stale. Just not funny or edgy anymore. Just kind of blah... I can't be bothered to watch any of them at this point.
I had all my domains in Godaddy but I was fed up with trying to find the hidden option to manage my domains in pages and pages of advertisements.
It seemed to me that, if I paid for a service, I don't want to be bombarded by ads every time I need to use this service.
I moved to Namecheap and never looked back.
Completely agree. The webpage is a absolute mess at GoDaddy. You would think that a company that is 'selling' the internet and setting up webpages would set a good example. I moved all my domains to Namecheap yesterday as well. Figured if I waited till today they may be too swamped;) Hopefully Godaddy takes it in the purse for supporting this attack on our freedom.
We're currently evaluating RHEV as a VMWare replacement due to the high cost of VMWare deployment. Just doesn't make sense to keep bleeding money for the same capabilities that RHEV can provide for about 20-30% of the price.
Easy solution. Install a firewall like ZoneAlarm and disallow Media Player from sending out information. I've done this with most programs that don't function primarily off the net.

So the 1600 and 1700 both have 'X' counterparts but the 1400 changes to 1500X instead? Who was thinking that was a good idea?

Maybe this kid wasn't mature enough to be watching a PG-13 movie at age 9. Doesn't sound like he is.
Odds are this kid is a PITA and the parents let him be and never hold him accountable.
