My wife is a part-time photographer and occasionally works a wedding or graduation taking photos. If people want to buy a copy of the photos to print at their leisure, I burn them to CD or DVD depending on the amount of photos.
I originally bought a BluRay drive for my PC to condense the DVD backups I had onto fewer discs, but now use it to make backups of any Blu Ray movies that I buy.
Also still burn the occasional music CD for the missus to use in her car.
Building big stuff in space doesn't make all that much sense yet. Building big on the Moon, makes a lot more sense and a lot of the raw materials are already there.
EXACTLY! We have built and launched metric shit-tons of equipment Earth orbit. Building on the Moon should be the next step. As mentioned, plenty of raw materials on the moon. There would be a one-time huge cost of delivering equipment up there for the first time. Eventually, a permanent infrastructure could be created and the equipment could be built there as well.
No kidding! LOL. Anyhow, the Linux subsystem is not enabled by default (at least mine wasn't) after the Anniversary Update and you have to jump through a couple of hoops to get it going. Hopefully will be a non-issue and whomever DOES enable that will take the appropriate precautions.
Back in the day you could expect at least 2 or 3 phone stalls in a public establishment such as a bar... often more, depending on its size and popularity.
If anyone RTFA, the bar actually DOES have landline phones at each table to call in another round of drinks or talk to folks at other tables. Doesn't mention if you can place calls to outside the bar...
...and how does one define the use of VPNs fraudulently? Not very enlightened or informed.
According to the article (which I assume you read), use of a VPN fraudulently would be connecting to blocked services in the country in question, like Snapchat, WhatsApp, etc. that have VOIP capabilities.
The government is basically protecting the revenues of the state telecoms that are threatened by this technology...and oh yeah, 'security'.
If they are counting all models of iPhone as one, they should count all Android phones as one too. In which case the iPhone is small fry - last year Android was estimated to have 1.4 billion active users.
All Android phones from different manufacturers? That's like saying if the most popular car is the Toyota Camry, then all American cars are more popular. Apple and oranges.
that has sworn to be impartial between democratic candidates. All those people who donated money to DNC were fraudelently mislead. Who is going to jail for this? It is more than just not following their own rules when thousands of people donated money based on claims by the DNC they were impartial.
Another example of common sense and rules that apply to everyone else don't apply here & any violation is swept under the rug with some low lever person resigning and being handed another coveted spot.
Oooohhhh yesss and the Republitards are such angels and would NEVER do anything like those liberals would!/snark
Hmm. If you could be honest with yourself for a minute you'd accept the truth that everyone in America wants it for free. The only difference is that democrats want a safety net that they can't afford, whereas Republicans simply want their roads, their military, and their Medicare and want to live tax-free, apparently paying for the programs with manna from the sky.
Damn...where are my mod points when I need them? Well put!
They are trying to subvert the foundations of capitalism - ownership.
They are abusing the DMCA - a badly designed law that was created to stop IP theft but has instead become a weapon of fraud to trick people into paying ownership prices for what in reality is merely renting.
It's like if you go to buy a house and you pay $800k, up front, expecting to be able to get a mortgage, leave the place to your kids, and sell it if you have to, only to be told later that you merely rented the place for your life time.
Fraud is fraud - whether it is done by outright lies, or instead by hidden fine print in contracts, that no one but lawyer reads
For the most part, I agree with your statement, but unfortunately people basically do RENT their homes. They just paid a huge amount for the deposit. What do you think happens when you don't pay your property taxes (rent)? The powers that be will seize the land and auction it off if the tax (rent) is not paid!
No, you're the fucking idiot. That is precisely what Calydor is saying. I'd love to see John Deere try that bullshit on a farm. The unlucky sap they hire to impound the tractor would be looking down the barrel of a 12 gauge shotgun.
Conservative doesn't mean wacko like in the US, her job isn't to do amateur plastic surgery to kill the state like the US Republican strategy has been.
That little bubble you occupy doesn't seem to have enough oxygen in it, you're (becoming?) delusional.

If we could just get passangers to commute on the wire instead of on jets, thing would be a whole lot smoother.
I wouldn't have a problem with that. The trend looked to be improving until Ms. Yahoo Meyer decided to bring everyone back into the office.

With the most recent court victory against Cox Communications, the slippery slope just got as slippery as goose shit.
This is just the tip of the iceberg with the copyright suits...

My .02 cents...
But this one hit it squarely on the head........
"GNU rootkit for Windows"
Has a nice ring to it.

Ha ha ha...very funny...not......
This was a power issue (cue the 'the IT staff needs to be hung by their scrotums for such shitty power infrastructure' comments).

...sales NUMBERS..
Asymco (the website that published this 'story')? Never heard of them. What makes them the authority on sales numbes?

Thanks....59C means absolutely nothing to me....I was about to have to go look this up on a google conversion....PITA.

Nope..

Are they hoping Democrats will just say "oh we want Bernie instead" ? Trump will fuck you Americans up in ways no one can imagine yet.
Yea....I'm bracing for it.......not gonna be a pretty wreck...
The card looks like it will fit in a standard case, but the cooling tower will be the size of a small house.
Sorry, this isn't an AMD card...
It can probably blow the fucking doors off Crysis.......

And it's high time conservatives reclaim the title from the wackos
That might happen if Trump wins the election in November.

Sounds like you are talking about yourself..
Where does all this hate for millenials comes from?
Gen Xer's who are stuck between the Baby Boomers who got everything and the millennials who whine about everything.
Fucking straight....I'm one of those pissed off Gen-Xers....
