The weird shit is the nature of the many lies he's told. It's one thing to make vague claims to further a political agenda (e.g., WMDs in Iraq, 'Obama was born in Kenya and is muslim,' 'if you like your insurance, you can keep it, etc...). It's another thing entirely to deny you said something last week, when there's video and audio of you saying that thing. It's like these petty, childish lies for no reason other than lying. It's bizarre that so many people were ok with that. If it was your six year-old child, you'd tell them how ridiculous it is to lie about something when the people you're lying to know it's obviously a lie.
I looked, but I don't see anything recent. It's still getting regular patches and I don't use whatever 'cloud thing' some of the older posts mentioned. Anyway, are we talking hardware or software vulnerabilities? If it's in unpatched software, I don't see how different hardware is going to make a difference.
There may be better options, but (at least some) Asus routers come with DD-WRT out of the box. My Asus RT-N66R (no AC and due for replacement, but it's still solid) runs DD-WRT and still receives regular firmware updates all these years later. It's also relatively easy to switch to other variants (e.g., Tomato). I'm moving to a new house and have been wanting to give Ubiquiti products a try, but if I had a similar situation where I wanted to get back up and running with as little downtime as possible, I'd definitely pick up another Asus.
Though it has far fewer channels, SlingTV works kind of in a hybrid mode like that. You can switch to a channel and watch whatever is currently being broadcast live. However, you can also select a channel and click "down" on your remote and watch recorded content as well. Clicking an individual channel doesn't give you everything that channel has to offer, but it's usually relevant content. Hopefully they'll offer something similar. Sometimes I like the live broadcast for the simple sake of editorialized content (e.g., don't want to think about what I want to watch), and other times I have in mind exactly what I want to watch.
Naaa, In a police-state you always prosecute people to the maximum possible, no matter how stupid and unjust. After all, you have to send a message to the population who the masters are!
It's not a police-state problem, it's a for-profit prison system problem. Gotta pay those lobbyists to push for harsher sentencing laws.
Stuart Mackenzie: Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.
Tony Giardino: So who's in this Pentavirate?
Stuart Mackenzie: The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, *and* Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee *beady* eyes, and that smug look on his face. "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"
I think you just have a shitty device. I've used all of the Rokus and I now have an Nvidia Shield. Voice search will find it across providers, many of which I subscribe to (Netflix, Hulu, Sling, Amazon) and I'm there in one click. Just because you have a shitty setup doesn't mean it's difficult -- it just means you have a shitty setup. I gave my parents my old Roku (they're pushing 70 years-old) and they have no problem.
I'm worried about this upgrade path myself. I've got a Macbook Pro that's probably 5-6 years old. Upgraded the RAM and swapped the HDD for a SSD. Still runs like butter, but it won't last forever.
I don't understand why phones kept getting bigger and laptops keep getting smaller. My Macbook is a 15" and I can't imagine going any smaller and still being able to do the things I need to do. I already have to squint and put my face two inches from the screen to read any text on an RDP session.
Luckily, the kids next to him/her would be busy texting and wouldn't even notice when the MPAA gestapo charge in and extraordinary rendition that kid. AMC may be on to something here, though: People who sit and text through the whole movie can't be put off by the lousy film they're watching and won't be too discouraged to see the next trash [insert comic book film title here] movie.
Off-topic, but reminds me of some pranksters at my old company. They were constantly fucking with each other and seeing who could one-up the next guy. They pulled a similar move with bologna sandwiches. They planted one in the light in a coworkers cubicle that was relatively easy to find. The placed another in a location that was much harder to locate. His cubicle started to stink as the sandwich spoiled, and he dug around and found the first sandwich. His cube continued to stink for days, however, until he realized there was a second one.
They used to get me the old-fashioned way -- just fucking calling all the time (not robocalls - just receptionist/assistant). Of course I never answered, but it still bothered me enough that I dropped StateFarm and went to Metromile.
High-CBD, low-THC strains have already been hugely successful on the anti-seizure front. There may well be ailment that requires the THC for efficacy, but I haven't heard of one, yet.

It's a difficult read between full time work, family and social lives
Who let this guy in here? How'd he get past security?
The different between the the Divergent movies and Hunger Games.
Soo....it's basically the same?

Well, we all know that Slashdot uses the mighty APK HOSTS engine to protect it!
Just hang around here long enough, you'll see everything you've ever wanted to know about it.
Actually, it's been weeks or months since I've seen APK. Can we get a wellness check on that fella?

If 'sueballs' bothers you, you probably shouldn't read El Reg. That's their style.

No, people usually get the ISP that happens to have the monopoly where they live.
I guess I've been doing it wrong at virtually every house, apartment, or hotel room I've ever stayed at.

The environmentalists will flambe you and eat you for breakfast.
Well, at least they don't need fossil fuels to flambé!
Wonder how they can send me this info.

Sorry, should have said "numbers nine and lower" instead of "lower than 10."
http://www.writersdigest.com/e...
The kind of person that writes "Four in 10."
Um, that's actually the correct way to write it. Numbers lower than 10 are spelled out as words, whereas larger numbers are noted numerically.

And ReactOS? Was there really that much demand for that port?
Taxis are quickly becoming obsolete, and in a decade they will be as common as pay phones.
That would be great! Right now, pay phones outnumber taxis in Los Angeles by several orders of magnitude.
Now if they could just find a way to prevent fraud due to amnesia.
And who have the hots for nerds.
Being aliens doesn't make them any more desperate than earth women.
