Well, that's a shill-esque way of looking at it, if you ask me. I think they're double dipping. A lot of these channels would be free over the air, paid for by their advertisements. Some wouldn't, yes, but I'm already paying a lot of money for a subscription. That's was supposed to cover all that, originally. There's no way Comcast requires $80 to $160 every month from every single customer just to cover the operational costs of maintaining the coax and fiber and procuring the programming and scheduling it. Cable boxes and routers are ultimately paid for the by customer as well. Profit is their prerogative like any other business, sure, but they've gotten sick with greed IMO.
Seems more like 3 or 4 minutes of commercial for every 5 or 6 minutes of show, at the least. It's getting pretty close to 50:50 on some channels. There's nothing like paying $120 a month for cable, when $50 of that is actually going towards watching commercials. I'm literally paying to watch commercials! I have to get the other half on board before I can cut the cable though.
Says the guy who has never used disc and dedupe based backups and seen how much faster and efficient it is, and simpler to manage from a scsi perspective. For years I was a dedicated tape guy, very reluctant to move to disc. Ever since we got our datadomain though, my thoughts have changed. Of course, if you can afford both systems and the maintenance licensing they incur, use both!
I'm not sure why they're paying attention to the Administration at all. Nobody else is. Congress is basically acting as if the White House was vacant (which, in a metaphorical sense, it is)
Nobody's paying attention? They can't shut up about it.
"The eighties called, they want their cold war back". That was the Lefts' attitude just a few years ago. You're right. Had Hillary won, none of this would be happening. There would be no outrage, no investigation and probably even no accusations that the Russians "hacked" the election (as we often hear or read). The most that the Russians did amounts to some propaganda engineering, and that is hardly shocking.
Actually it wasn't. The evidence is sketchy and he himself made no such claim that he achieved sustainable flight in 1903, as his control system was basically shiite. He said he did not attempt anything practical until 1904.
My son just tested his, it scans the MAC addresses themselves fine, it just doesn't auto-detect the device brand or hostname; you get "generic". You could cross reference the brand from a mac-vendor list website, but it seems to scan MAC addresses themselves. You just won't get any further info about the devices it finds.
We have squirrels all over, none go in my attic, though they easily could if they wanted to. I guess they're happen enough with the huge ash tree in the back yard. Personally I think they're cute, we've even fed them. The skunks, OTOH, I hate them.
The point is that someone will be marking your homework and publicly shaming you in front of the class if you don't do a good job.
With a metaphor like that, pardon me if I say you sound like someone who's spent most of their life squirreled away in academia, conditioned to paying tuition, and removed from the actual workforce. Significant costs come with the membership to that accord, providing little return on investment since nothing at this point is usefully defined. Without clear guidelines, it has little to no hope of accomplishing anything practical. It's a pony show and a political money pit at this stage, and they're looking at the US and licking their chops over the magnanimous share we'll be "asked" to contribute. Maybe if they get more serious about actually developing a viable plan, it'd be worth it beyond just the face time and good PR. But as of right now, it sort of smacks of the hollowness of Leonardo DiCaprio preaching AGW to the masses while flying around on his private jet, or the old Al Gore who used to have a house that was about as efficient as an industrial revolution era factory (but at least he updated).
Besides that, how are drivers supposed to know what those arbitrary signals mean? That's not on any standard driver's test. Even by watching and matching the car's behavior to the lights, that could take a number of instances before the correlation is perfectly clear.
This makes no sense though from a government perspective. The US isn't banning Kaspersky from US consumers, but only from US government computers, for which ostensibly they already have several means of intercepting and tracking data. Those computers are already government property, not the property of the employees who use them.
We use SuSE SLES at work, and Novell/MicroFocus would say "Soos-say", which just sounds really wrong to my ears. I'd always read it was pronounced "Soo-suh". Whatever. We've stuck by SLES11 because it's SystemV, and they went to SystemD with version 12. I can't knock YaST though, I love that for a set up tool. Of course, it's use is entirely optional; but recommended.
According to the Muslims and Christians, Islam started when Abraham sent away his son Ishmael he had made with his sex slave and his son Isaac started Judaism. Judaism eventually became Christianity.
According to scientific evidence we have (which is sparse), all the religions in that region started from the pantheon of gods of various sheep herders that eventually streamlined into the different branches we now know. They all claim the same god and ancestry and they all can be traced back to the same groups of people with similar religions, so to say one came first is dishonest.
Just because that's when it's claimed it "started" doesn't mean that's when it actually did. Muhammad created Islam in the early 7th century when he claimed Gabriel spoke to him, and created the retro history of the religion in writing the Quran. There is no mention of Allah or Islam prior to this. Even the official religion of Christianity didn't actually begin in Jesus's time, who was a jew, (and would self-identify as such) it took several decades after Paul and the other apostles wrote their gospels. The exact point of separation of Christianity from Judaism is hard to nail down.
Are you honestly hoping it slams into your area rather than somewhere else, to spare those other people the pain? That'd be mighty magnanimous. Except for your neighbors, of course.
Republicans didn't make a "mistake", Trump won the nomination by the rules of the RNC and by the election rules of the land. A lot of Republicans were not happy about it, but they followed the law. Or would you suggest the RNC should rig the primary like the DNC did? No matter what wing you side with or against, it cannot be denied that the DNC was utterly corrupt this election in the way they ran their primary, where the RNC stuck to the process honestly, even to their own chagrin.
It seems as though visionary technological genius comes with a bit of ineluctable crazy as part of the bundle. Tesla is prime example. Elon's been watching the Terminator franchise a little too much maybe.

..would behave like an actual golden parachute. Some landing that'd be if they still took it anyway.
Whatever happened to Captains going down with their ship?
Why is this not modded funny yet? I sense a huge amount of whoosh here.

More like Pacificus.

+++Insightful.
Surprised The Guardian didn't frame it that way, so .. wait, did they just assume someone's gender?
The only thing bullshit is your statement. You just ignored some critical facts, outlined below in the following comments.

Good luck rebuilding on what's now giant crater. Shame about that, Buffy started jumping the shark in Season 4, but that used to be my favorite show.

You're showing your age, my man. But I won't disagree with the last part. ;)
