I've been around here for a while (check my UID). I remember back in the 90's when they explained this - and it never made sense to me then, nor does it make sense to me now.
Reddit proved that editing/deleting posts doesn't have those kinds of issues.
Even if you accept that argument, getting around it by instituting some sort of versioning for posts - ("This post was edited. Click here to see previous versions.") can eliminate that.
> 'a statistically significant' pattern where the percentage of Republican votes increase the larger the size of the precinct.
The larger the precinct in geographical terms, the more spread out the population. The more spread out, the more rural, the more rural, the more Republicans per capita. Where's the problem here?
How is this Popcorn Time app any different than Napster? Easy and professional looking it may be - legal, it isn't, and right or wrong, the users are liable. The news here isn't that the users got busted, it's why it took so long.
They are not far left. They are anti-Republican. Hence, if Republicans start preaching about global warming and nuclear disarmament, guaranteed HuffPo will want to invade Russia and fire up the coal plants.
It's not about what they want done, it's who they want to lose.
Pretty sure that has to do with trade regulations between the US and China - anti-dumping provisions and the like for US steel companies, and not a reflection on poor Chinese steel (though I do understand shortcuts taken in China regarding steel manufacturing are rampant and frightening)
There's only one reason Google gives anything away 'for free' - it's because they're mining data from your connections to better target ads at you. They absolutely monitor every DNS lookup on their servers and use those lookups as part of their profile on you as a user.
$20 worth of cabling, and I got the thing connected via Cat5. Works great now, no disconnects anymore, and it no longer takes up a spot on wireless device list in the WAP.
Foxconn executive: "We'll have a black factory in 3 years!"
Communist Party: "If you do that, all your people will be unemployed, and instead of slaving away at a phone factory, making useless crap for American idiots, we'll have people available to protest our mismanaged government"
No way. The latency would be ridiculous for most use cases. This is only actually marketable for a couple of situations -
1. Orbital internet service. The ISS can surf porn. 2. Remote internet service. The researchers at Macmurdo can surf porn. 3. Circumventing state filters on internet content. The Chinese can surf porn. 4. Interplanetary internet service. The Mars rover and future moon/Mars colonies will eventually be able to surf porn.
Create money just to give out to people? Seriously? Please open a history book and look up Germany in 1934, or a newspaper and look at Zimbabwe. Printing money to pay government bills just screws the public. Money printing must be offset by taxes or some other destruction of currency, such as a natural deflationary trend or a paper shredder, or you wind up with loaves of bread costing thousands of dollars.
Obviously you're right. I'm not advocating for replacing all higher voltage AC for low voltage DC. What I'm saying is, maybe we can do both - each for its own purpose.

nevermind. I'm wrong.
Hey slashdot. Can we edit/delete our posts please? FFS, this site is almost 20 years old and you still don't have this capability?

Well, *parts* of them are sometimes fake...

700k miles? On the same 1980's turbocharged engine? How many head gaskets have you blown through?
People still ride horses, too - just not to work (unless they're a cowboy or something)
You get the same memory, a faster processor (by raw GHz - the Zenfone is Intel), for $299.
Why would I go with this phone instead?
Because they live in the real world, not some socialist thought experiment.
Unions are dead. Get over it.
Only if you want to move Kim Jong Un to Seoul.

I was having problems because the TV was interfering with the RF signal between the Chromecast and the WAP. Here's what I did, with excellent results:

To ensure no mistakes are made.
but they don't provide unfiltered access to the country with more internet consumers than anyone else in the world - China.
These plans are an end-run around the Great Firewall, make no mistake.
I have my popcorn waiting for when the Chinese government decides to start shooting the satellites down.
Good point - I was assuming geosync orbits.

That was the topic of a Law & Order SVU a couple weeks ago.
Government can and should create money to provide for the General Welfare in the form of a Basic Income.

We already have 240V AC. We just have a split-phase system to provide it for the few special cases (dryers and ovens) that require it.
Thanks to the advent of using a USB port as a power connector, most everything DC is around 5v, usually less than 1A
