So easily people forget that the Republicans were unable to do the exact same thing in 2006 when they had control and a Republican in the White House. And by forget I mean purposely ignore so they can say the same thing to the other side.
In the very next sentence after you got that 5 years from, it says you can renew it for free.
Subscription term is for 5 years. At the conclusion of the 5-year term, customers may renew their subscriptions completely free-of-charge by contacting support@stackcommerce.com.
I would jump all over this if they listed anything about not keeping records.
The VPN I currently use makes a specific note about not keeping any records as a selling point, and they haven't given me any reason to believe otherwise so far.
Think big picture here. Especially with the population always rising, it should be a given that the number of subscribers increases or at least stays the same.
If more people are growing into "pay for cable" age and the total number of subscribers goes down, that's cause to start panicking. A 1% loss turns into millions of dollars a year in lost revenue, and that's a large enough number that shareholders start thinking thoughts that are bad for board members.
You're never guaranteed to be able to clock a chip purchased at 3.8GHz prices up to 4.7GHz. You are guaranteed a chip that will run at 3.8GHz.
If you want to roll the dice and attempt to run it faster, more power to you, but if you want to guarantee that it'll run at the higher speed, you pay more.
6. Go to jail when the company puts streaming cameras and very precise GPS locators on each drone. Sure you may get 1 or 2, hope the jail time is worth it.
Fall from grace? He, Hammond, and May are working on a new motoring show currently with a bigger budget than they ever could have hoped when they were working with the BBC. They probably all got a nice pay raise as well. There's probably a few clauses in the contract that they need to do some Amazon based commercials, but who cares?
By the time the governments are done blocking sites, plus people in general just wanting to torrent and browse anonymously, VPN providers must be making bank.
The article says that it's used to judge people that have never had credit ever. If you already have a credit card, it doesn't really apply to you. I'd say it doesn't apply, but I'm sure there's a variable in an equation somewhere that has an effect but is so minor that it's almost 0 on an account that already has credit.
If you've never had credit ever, then you're subject to the same terms that creditors have always had with new applicants. Get a cosigner, get student account, get a secured CC, get a checking account, and I'm sure there's other ways that I can't think of off the top of my head when I'm 10 minutes from going to bed.
"Lansing said FICO is working with credit card companies to use several different methods for deciding what size loans people can handle, and using non-traditional sources like social media allows them to collect information on people who don't have an in-depth credit history. According to the FT, both FICO and TransUnion have had to find alternative ways to assess people who don't have a traditional credit profile -- including people who haven't borrowed enough to give creditors an idea of what kind of risk they pose."
So this has a nonzero effect on your credit score, but for anyone with a legitimate history (aka any credit card or loan ever) the effect will be so small that it would be considered negligible. What the hell do you people want? If I was an employer looking up peoples names on Facebook, like is common these days, and found out that the person was posting pictures of getting high/drunk on a regular basis or posting really horrible comments, I'd refuse to hire them too. The same applies to credit cards. Some random person with no references walks into my bank and says, "Hey give me $1000, I'm good for it". What should my response be, seriously?
"Can you prove in any way that I can depend on you to pay me back?"
If you don't want to be judged by your social profile, make it private or don't fucking post it in the first place.
http://www.onesupport.com/ is a service that started in the last year or two. $15/month plus a $50 sign up fee, or no sign up fee if they pay a year in advance. (Disclaimer, I am partially associated with them. Never worked for them, but worked with their techs in the past). They do phone/remote access troubleshooting/virus removal/tuneups/basic software support/printers/networking. They always seemed fairly competent from the chats I had with them.
Also most ISP's, or at least the 4 or 5 that I've worked for or subscribed to, offer some kind of premium support for $10-$20/month. Worth looking into.
I read the article, and apparently, only positive reviews are visible for a person until that person signs up. Fortunately, I suspect there's a workaround... continuing with your example:
Of all the accused crack-smoking child molesters, Bennet Hasselton is by far the best!
What's stopping someone who wants to write a review from signing up under the persons name in order to get the bad reviews to show?
Who gives a shit? I like the fact that companies are stressing how important learning to code is to kids in K-12. What agenda are you trying to imply other than "coding is good"? I support teaching children at least the basics of coding.
The only thing you could be pushing is that companies want more H1-B's so they can get cheap coders, but the fact that they're trying to get coding into basic education goes against exactly that.
It's a lot easier to get voters in fucking Lala land emotionally invested in issues that don't involve them (gay rights, female body, etc.) and cause them to go vote for a particular party than getting more critical thinkers on your side en masse.

You can buy a bitcoin online for $X and then spend it immediately on some sites to get $X worth of products.
Where's the scam?
Bitcoin is currently dropping in price. Incredibly fast since the fight/fork was announced. So no, you can't buy for $X and spend for $X, the dollar value of the coins you purchased drop as soon as you give someone money.
Slashdot Mirror
If 10% of the people run adblockers, most sites just put up a spot asking people to please turn off their ad-blocker.
If 100% of the people have ads blocked, the site needs to find another way to monetize; like charging for access.
I LIKE that old people and computer illiterates allow ads to be shown, it keeps me below the radar.

Like most emerging new standards (the internet as a whole being part of the list), whichever one gets porn the first is going to be the one that wins.
Beta vs VHS was mainly won by porn. Beta refused it for the most part, VHS embraced it. The shittier tech won because guys will always be horny.

Yes... all 30 seconds or so were wasted.

Can someone please explain this joke to me? It's usually the first response in any thread and rated a -1.
It's not funny, doesn't make me angry so can't be trolling, and doesn't reference anything I can think of. What's the point?

This is all fine and good until one of your parents can't access their email at 3am to get the latest cat pics.

Is this some meme I'm missing? I've seen almost the same comment in multiple threads.
Your comment make you look ignorant, incapable of understanding what Non Disclosure Agreement means.
You missed the joke. Read his comment again. Specifically that last sentence.

Neither of these are based on the idea that the rift is built around.
