The problem here is that this house seems too close to the municipal fibers, even though Seth isn't allowed to connect to them. Therefore, Comcast has nowhere to put their wire, and CenturyLink is based on renting wires that are already there. That seems like an undisclosed material fact at the time of the sale.
Comcast would have gladly put in a node when they were building their current network, but it seems the previous homeowner didn't ask for their house to be served... either this property didn't exist when this was happening, or it was occupied with a Luddite. If whomever sold the house promised there would be Internet, it's cause to reverse the sale.
PayPal doesn't seem to like to comply with laws. They don't want to be declared a "bank" yet they still act like one, and they don't respect trade sanction laws. eBay also runs into trouble before complying with a law. These companies need some repair work done.
There's plenty of jobs at stake with this kind of thing... Amazon could easily cut staff if the item picking items could do everything, but even robotic pullers wear out over time. Seems like it's a difference between brute force people and those that fix robotic systems.
For those using other platforms, just a reminder that Windows turns the monitor black for a few seconds before showing a security warning or request...
The "national gird" is set up so they can handle the loss of a plant or two (or maybe even three) without disruption, it just causes the online plants to spin up stronger. If your power company is claiming to be National Grid, they're indicating that they're sometimes using power from outside the area they serve.
I think "designed" was my word error. GOTO was invented to make sense to the processor, but it's use combined with functions ended its time as the best idea to use.
GOTO makes sense at lower-level languages closer to the processor, but in languages based on procedures and subroutines they lead to harder for humans to understand code.
"GOTO" existed before subroutines and functions were added, and it was back in the days of line numbers. This was the point where the main menu part of a program had to jump over to the appropriate part of the program, now we just call the appropriate routine.
Let's see... give a bunch of college students a $99 license for Visual Basic 6.0 after it had been out for a year and what results on the campus of Syracuse University?

Just like the way they teach science and history, it's a group reading of a textbook and having a computer in front of you to test theories. I've sat through 4 of them. (6th Grade Applesoft Basic, 9th Grade QBasic, 10th Grade Pascal, Freshman College level C) They all teach the same concepts like sorting, even though most people these days ask a database program to do sorting work with an ORDER BY command in SQL.

We call that "DUPE!" for duplication... but Slashdot does have a tendency to repost stories that deserve more attention.

C2it wasn't from CitiBank... it was a scam that stole the logo.
That's MasterCard's trademark, this is about PayPal.

Think iPhone6's collection of fingerprints... no match means the SIM is useless. That will cut back crime and terror by making people accountable.
I have to wonder how the Bill O'Reilly family handle this... he operates a "No Spin Zone".
Let's see how well a modern laundry machine tests against cleaning an iPhone and a rock at the same time....
If you break your opponents washing machine, they'll have you "taken the the cleaners"....

We could have a replay of this event as the Boston area is dealing with a similar weekend storm this week too.
You just produced modded up Slashdot... that's on the web and part of a page. Have a little more confidence.

Goto these days is a stenography tool... it's designed to make the code harder to read.

It's hard to know what to teach in the middle of a debate, as when the class ends it's not over yet. Stay tuned to Slashdot for the updates.
If you don't like what HSBC is doing, you should get an account with a Swiss bank because Swiss Bank Accounts are not subject to... wait a second.

Take the news seriously! They magically moved from "the moon" to "the bag" which his widow hasn't touched in 20 years... wait a minute!
Passing a law like this with a 90 wait would mean the course wouldn't be ready until next school year.
