  1. Without it, we wouldn't be working or doing much else after sunset.

  2. Double ditto. There were all guys in my engineering classes. I took photography and social sciences to be with the opposite sex and have different conversations.

    The first two years are general education anyway. I saw no reason to put off the start. If I didn't attend, my part time job bosses would have had me work more hours anyway.

    It all worked out great.

    No way will I pay for a year of slackage for my kid.

    No way

    Why not just let the voters decide whether they want Trump? These complaining liberals want "diversity" but only their version of it.

    I agree the guy is a nutjob but the voters get to decide whether or not he's elected. Not whiney special interest groups.

    You are very correct. If these candidates are what our system provides us with as "choices" then may the best clown win.

    I see voting for Trump a form of civil disobedience. After all, we can't vote for "none of the above acceptable" .

    This will be the worst choice of candidates I have seen in my entire liife.

    One can purchase a Papa Murphy's take and bake pizza with an EBT card. They even state it on their window signs. It is much cheaper to cook a meal for a family than to buy fast food but it takes effort.

    Why not just work with Apple to extract the data image from this single phone without forcing Apple to reveal how they did it?

    If all they want is the data on the phone, let Apple get it for them and hand over a decrypted image to the FBI.

    Oh... that's not really what they want. They want the key to the back door for an entire class of phones I must suppose.

    Glad one can entrust their lives (in come cases) to a slacker that was given a train to drive. Sorry they got distracted with a cellphone whilst running it.

  15. Re:Hard to Believe on Yahoo To Fire Another 15% As Mayer Attempts To Hang On (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I have to agree. Yahoo "news" has become quite tabloid. Especially the "sponsored ads". The images that go along with these ads on their news and finance pages are rather disgusting. Who does Mayer think her customers are? A bunch of teenaged cell phone fondlers?

    I pay for Yahoo mail (which I will stop doing soon) and I'm still faced with this crap when I'm trying to research financial information.

    Their stock portfolio function is good though but why must I endure the images of airheads fanning out a handful of credit cards at "zero interest rate" when
    checking a stock price? Also the big boobed ads are rather tacky. Why not get to the point and do a Brittney Spears beaver shot if they really want to get to the point?

    All I have to say is Fuck You, Marissa. You've made a bad company a worse company. Go spend "more time with your family" and leave us alone.
