    The budget of NASA is but a tiny fraction compared to the budget of the US military, which is engaged in conflicts all around the world that do not concern the US at all.

    I am a maker! I have a 3D printer, a CNC router and a laser cutter!

  9. Seconded. If we have to mute audio, it's already too late and the unwanted video has already loaded, already wasted bandwidth and already wasted CPU power.

    But how does it perform when mining a real crypto-currency like Dogecoin?

    They passed laws that pre-paid credit cards and pre-paid store cards cannot expire anymore, so pre-paid phone cards should not expire too. You can be sure bribes were involved to exclude phone companies out of that law.

  24. That's why I know a lot of people without cellphones. Basic packages are around $15~$20 and only give you about 10 hours of voice calls. You can pay $10~$20 extra on top of that for something like 100~500MB of data. It's just insane.

    And there's basically monopolies on the coverage everywhere, you only have options if you live in or near the big cities. Get outside of Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal and your list of options gets really small, really fast.
