I'll never understand the price point of cable. It's not like you have full access to every show at any time like you have Netflix, and with only 24 hours/day (only a few of which you are awake, at home, and able to watch TV) you'll never come close to watching the entire library of programming available (especially with all the adverts tossed in). Why not charge a respectable $30-$50 a month for the entire package of channels, then maybe charge a small premium for the sports/movie channels? I'm also curious as to why they have so many damn adverts during shows. What are my cable fees even going towards?
That's one of the greatest problems these days. Companies not paying enough to properly train employees, and employees not getting paid enough to actually care about the job they do.
Never understood why, in a time of.ogg files, MP3 was always the defacto format. Ogg was free, and had better a far better compression:quality ratio. The fact that MP3 was ever popular is mindblowing. Glad to hear it's finally free, though.
Did they take everything that was done and then delete it from Disney? I'm not sure what the big deal is, otherwise... release it in Theathres. People that planned on seeing it will see it. People that didn't, won't.
I really like having Linux as the backbone to my device. The amount of freedom and ability to script in tasks is one of the main reasons why I've gone with Android over iOS. Hopefully this new OS allows the same level of freedom and scriptability.
Reminds me of that time Nintendo stock shot up because of Pokemon Go. If investors are this fucking stupid, I have no idea how the market even exists anymore. Like, why buy stock if you're not going to bother doing any research on the company/stock you are about to purchase?!
I didn't see anything in the summary or the article about Proton. To further that point, why would you use Gmail if you want something secure, and what the hell is a $5 gmail mailbox?
I use it, and I haven't had any issue. It's not as nice as gmail, but if you're looking for a relatively simplistic layout, and encrypted email - Proton is solid.
My college offered 4 semesters of COBOL. It was the worst experience of my time there, and one of the biggest reasons why I dropped out. Fuck COBOL. Sure there's the whole "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality, but I mean, a screen door "ain't broke" but it's also not the best idea to fit your front door with. A Speedo "ain't broke" but it's also not best for winterwear... Time for the dinosaurs to upgrade. The money spent now would be cheaper than the ever-increasing maintenance fees over time.
Do people actually associate advertisements with the videos that they play with? I mean, the content creators have no say in what advertisement plays, so there really shouldn't be any association between the ad and the video, but rather, with the ad and YouTube.
Is this guy serious? This guy can't be serious... if you hack the firmware, you are at fault. BUT if you had a stock tractor and shit went wrong, John Deere would probably find a way to blame it on your as well.
Oh goody, another useless bulk app that offers a functionality that already exists in the OS. It's not like we actually need space on our phones or anything...

Too bad the 8 people are everyday joes, and the other 2 are people in power that could make regulations to make it better.
Kinda like that time they saw what Xerox had going and ripped it off completely? Is this not basically Apple's game in a nutshell?
I guess a bigger question is - why didn't the players just force Ogg? Bundle in software to convert the music. Smaller file sizes, same great sound.

I have a feeling there could be a large market for shirts with this pattern printed on it.
I believe you mean to say "in order to be recognized as a professional, please fill in this form and pay us a lump-sum of money every 5 years..."
Weird... I was able to use mine without any problem. I believe you have to use a coupon code in order to get the discounted rate, though.
Google used to run ads for Uber in Google Maps. How long has this law suit been going on for?
There's generally a large wooden door behind that screened door.

Fairly priced competition that gives its customers what it wants AND has good customer service? FUCK THEM! /s
They should have told that person that they are an idiot, and that they should find something productive to do with their life.

I remember the times when we had multiple different types of memes, and image macros were but just one type. Ah, those were the days.
I think it's done a pretty good job of boosting awareness of the most glorious form of art - ANSI (and ASCII). That's pretty old by tech terms.
