Back when Requiem was still a thing - I'd purchase the title, then immediately remove the DRM using Requiem and save it to my streaming box (a 2006 MacBook Pro) with a backup.
When Requiem died, I stopped buying online content from them - now I buy the Blu-Ray and rip it.
Besides...I would not be surprised at all to learn of a version of the appendix to one of the apocryphal versions of the New Testament that states that prominent Youtube personalities signals the approach of the end times.
I don’t recall anything like that in the New Testament... but I’m reasonably sure Dante mentioned them being frozen, head-downward, in the ninth circle of hell.
These are people in their late teens and early 20s... not really known for having a sense of perspective.
And, if that isn't enough, these folks are going to skew strongly towards the narcissistic end of the spectrum. What they're experiencing is all that matters.
Yeah, I heard the NPR report and the reporter made a few leaps which were her “value addeds” and weren’t based on the scientist’s comments... like climate change leading to warmer tropical waters (not really - models show warming away from the tropics, with the biggest jump in arctic areas).
The possible link to large scale wind circulation changes - and slower storms because of it - is interesting though.
" According to The New York Times, the detail of this new map is the equivalent of being able to see down to a car, or smaller, when before you could only see the whole of Central Park."
Wow! There's a park and cars under the ice in Antarctica?!
So Apple and other manufacturers are split between two bad choices. They will have to weigh which one is less worse, and go in that direction. In all cases it will most likely be the consumers that suffer.
I expect Apple will just decide to wait out the Trump presidency.
Gotta agree. Don’t know if the fundamental issue is actually ”mobile” or just “dumb designers”... but mobile sites usually suck.
And “responsive” sites mostly seem to take that bad mobile ethos and force it on everybody, including desktop browsers. In any case, I guess that’s at least equal-opportunity suckitude...
I thought maybe they’d be announcing the launch of a new crypto currency- Corey Coin.
Also... a burger flipping robot? If there’s one food place that can well afford human employees, it’s a ballpark burger stand. Their prices are atrocious.
The redefinition of the phrase presented in the summary is silly. “Clearing its orbit” means just what it says. But then Neptune also fails that test, since it hasn’t “cleared its orbit” of Pluto - and therein lies the problem.
If scientists had meant a planet should “be the largest gravitational force in its orbit”, they would have said exactly that. The phrasing is clear, concise, and unambiguous.
If you want to list liberal cities that don't have good public transportation, I'd go with LA and Seattle.
Transit use in Seattle is growing at an absurd rate - something like 40% of all downtown workers ride transit now. Light rail has been the primary driver in the shift.
For a long time Seattle relied totally on a bus system. Which is silly - busses travel the same roads as cars, and get stuck in the same traffic messes. They finally wised up and started creating dedicated bus lanes... and, in some cases, bus-only roads.
But the real game changer has been light rail. Quite expensive to build, but it’s reliable and moves lots of people.
If you think the President is unable to carry out his responsibilities, you have a duty to bring about impeachment and/or invoke the 25th Amendment.
They may very well have initially (and naively) expected Congress by this point to have impeached him rather than sidling up to the trough and quietly joining along in the money grab. But since Congress hasn’t demonstrated the presence of even a nascent backbone, these insiders might figure this is the only way left they can truly serve the country... which is what they’re sworn to do, regardless of Trump’s ideas about personal loyalty.
I mean, just look - Trump speculated this might count as treason, for Pete’s sake. He really thinks it’s all about him, not the country.
Canada had something similar in place 30 years ago - it gave us such gems as SCTV's "Great White North" and the movie "Strange Brew". Thanks to that I learned the difference between back bacon and side bacon, and developed an appreciation for Molson's!
Slashdot Mirror
It wasn't included in the Slashdot summary, but - Apple also announced they're bringing back the iOS app "I Am Rich".
My iPhone 6s is still going strong...
This year, the flagship phone is the "iPhone Excess".
So, next year, they're not even going to pretend - the 2019 flagship will be called the "iPhone Conspicuous Consumption". ... you heard it here, first.
Google is discontinuing a service it started a few years ago?! Glad I was sitting down for that bit of news...
I am shocked. SHOCKED!!

... or when they keep cutting out because you’re in an area where that happens all the bloody time for any number of reasons?
I knew about the Stargate - saw a documentary about it.
One pair of Bluetooth headphones, there, problem solved.
and different problems introduced.

This study resonates with my personal experience. Say I'm in pain at the dentist's, or an insect bite, or fatigue from endurance exercise.
I’ve found it much more satisfying to just punch the dentist in the nuts.
Betteridge be damned.

The www. nonsense is a leftover from an ancient time and should be eliminated
Indeed, I believe its first appearance was in Book IX of Josephus’ Antiquities.
This was the “impostor syndrome” survey, not the “who keeps farting in the break room” survey.

I was actually trying to be funny, but obviously I failed miserably.

Take off, you Hollywood Hosers!
I hear Travis Kalanick is looking for a new CEO gig... he'd be a perfect fit!
