The problem is he wants a fair trial, AS DEFINED BY EDWARD SNOWDEN.
I imagine he would define "fair" as in "not held in a secret/closed courtroom, with the press allowed to attend, with a jury of his peers, with his defense being allowed to actually see the evidence against him, etc."
They promise that you'll get your day in a closed courtroom (with press barred) at some point after many years of sitting lock-up in a pre-trial detention.
Just looking at raw ebay data doesn't cut it. You would need a controlled test using the exact same product description, the exact same seller feedback for both the man and woman sellers, exact same reserve price, etc. with the only difference being the name of the seller (male or female sounding).
Otherwise the discrepancy could just be something as simple as a difference in how men and women describe their product.
Poor, yes. Stupid, no. The got the Olympics. I'd say they outsmarted everyone.
Considering the Olympics long history of causing its host cities to hemorrhage money, I would be to differ.
Being an Olympic (of FIFA championship, for that matter) host city is great if you've got money to burn and just want the prestige. But for poorer countries/cities it's usually a losing proposition. You end up with a huge debt at the end and a bunch of facilities that can't be used for anything else.
And to add insult to injury, they also get to charge you a rental fee for CableCards. So even when you go for the one or two competitors out there (Tivo and....well, Tivo), you still have to pay the cableco's a rental fee to make the competing box work.
They can't just charge more per month for the cable and build the cost of the box into the fee?
No, because then they wouldn't be able to advertise a crazy-low price and hope no one notices the little asterisk that says "For a limited time only. Does not include cable box rental, DVR rental, HD service charge, fees, taxes, and whatever the fuck else we can get away with charging you extra for."
By "free market," what they mean is that the market is free to give them campaign donations to ensure that they're free to fuck over consumers as much as they want.
With a Republican Congress (and probably soon a Republican president), you can forget anything that favors the consumer over big business. It's never going to get implemented, and even if it did, it will be so full of loopholes as to be rendered useless (much like earlier attempts to support CableCard).

Better get used to high unemployment.
Apples are terrible for gaming.
You can build a decent budget gaming rig for 400 to 800.
Even a low range gaming GPU alone is going to cost about $150. No way are you going to build anything resembling a "gaming" system for $400.
If you were a geek you'd already have the computer, if you were a gamer you wouldn't be able to stand week platforms like PS4/Xbone.
And if you were a real gamer, you would have all three.
It seems like everything that comes out now is just a "review of existing studies." Didn't science used to involve actual experiments and tests?
It doesn't matter how fun it is to drive if you can't afford it.
VR takes some serious muscle. Think more like 980 or higher.
Is that arr you got, pussy?
Gosh, if that is what he was asking for... he gets those things automatically, he doesn't have to negotiate for them.
Yeah, just like all those Guantanamo detainees got theirs, right?

And, no, he's never going to get all that.

The first clue was that is was called "Happy Daily English" instead of the proper "Happy Daily Engrish"
"But VR is just around the corner now!" said a guy in 1993.
If you think that's expensive, you should see the price of the PC you will need to run it at a decent fps.
as much as 12 TFLOPs of Single-Precision (FP32) compute performance
Can someone tell me what this is in cores?

Jeesbus help any man who has both Disney AND Fox coming down on his head.
Perhaps, with future missions, we'll discover the cause of the "great attractor" phenomenon after all.
It's Jeebus.

Cable industry days are numbered.
No, they'll just jack up the prices for your internet service to make up for what you're not paying them for cable.
