    And as an strength athlete (cycling)...

    What is a "strength athlete (cycling)"? Is your focus on strength training but you also cycle? I'm confused.

  2. ...ship (cargo, people, something). The rest just talk about it.

  3. Jesux (pronounced Hay-sooks) to the rescue!

    It's seven years after that article, dumbass. The present-day state budget is fine.

    ...and if you don't own the poles (like Verizon)...

    Verizon, the telephone company, does not own telephone poles? That seems...wrong.

    To be fair, they own a lot less than they used to.

    ...if you cannot come up with some kind of prove of the positive after a year, it's starting to look like nothing happened.

    20 people indicted and four guilty pleas so far. So much nothing.

    ...and it becomes more and more clear how paranoid they are and how they view the world as an enemy.

    You can't tell that by Donny starting a trade war with our allies?

    ...it would be easy for me to get on your Republican-bashing bandwagon...

    I keep looking at the post you're replying to and I don't see the word "Republican" anywhere. Please help me to find it:

    Other countries need to fill in as the US culls science programs and generally sets itself back to the stone age. After all, you'll need to know how much CO2 is being emitted when the US has to come crawling back years from now to buy carbon credits from the EU and China...

  9. Isn't California on the verge of going broke and taxing itself to death?

    If it keeps you and your friends from moving here? Yes. Broke. Taxing itself to death. Daily earthquakes/landslides/wildfires. Forced conversion to homosexuality when you visit a beach. You do not want to move there.

  12. Market-Based Solution on How a Fight Over Star Wars Download Codes Could Reshape Copyright Law (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Disney just needs to sell discs (and only discs--no download codes or even retail cases) to Redbox for at least $4 less than what they're paying now. Problem solved?

  13. Are you kidding? Have you seen what Disney charges for their movies on iTunes? They charge premium prices for their Marval, Lucasfilm, and animated hit movies and they are rarely on sale (and their sale prices are still not deeply discounted).

    I've been using iTunes Match for the past few years and have been satisfied. It does what you want it to do. I'm running Apple hardware (iMac, MacBook, iPhone) so I don't know how well it works on other platforms.

  19. Interesting Statement from SubHub on Paradise Papers Expose Canadian Scalper's Multimillion-Dollar StubHub Scheme (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Is that StubHub's whole statement? I ask because it's very telling. Sure, they say that bots are "unfair and anti-consumer" but that its the government's responsibility to come up with a solution, not theirs. I mean, we know SubHub doesn't care about consumers but it's almost refreshing to see them admit it.

    Even in tech cities you can usually count the number of devops positions on one hand.

    ...please keep in mind that these are ancient sayings...

    Except it isn't ancient. The first known use of "bête noire" dates to 1805. So it is "black beast".

    Given that Obamacare was created less than eight years ago, it couldn't have caused your employer to stop carrying company insurance 9+ years ago.

    And based on your political leanings the two parties referenced in your statement are completely interchangeable.

    Are you seriously suggesting that Wheeler and Pai are interchangeable as chairmen of the FCC?

    See, I don't want to assume you're nuts. I want to make sure.
