  1. I still think it's a good deal if you plan to use the multiple accounts and DVR. But it's just not worth it to me, we'd need 3 accounts, 4 once my youngest gets older, and we wouldn't use the DVR much.

  2. Except Trump directly said that Mexico would pay for it by making a one time payment of $5-10 billion. Now he's turned around and is claiming he never said Mexico would pay for it.

  3. This is what they believe will solve their problems? "People are unsubscribing in droves! Quick let's jack up the pricing so people will come back!" Even small discounts would save them more subscribers than this. They're playing the drums in their own death march.

    "Most of those activities for the average person are either physically dangerous, prohibitively expensive, or both" That's not very relevant, if I want to watch someone play pool I'll go to the bar, if I want to play I'll play, but if I want to watch the best in the world, I'll go to an event or watch on TV/online. Same with videogames, soccer, basketball, golf, poker, etc. There's a big difference between watching people participate, and watching the best in the world.

  5. I feel like you're not sure what a nerd is. It's not just for the brainy kids that get picked on anymore. Know what I am? A computer nerd, car nerd, angling nerd, videogame nerd, magic nerd. Just because it doesn't matter to you doesn't mean it doesn't matter. Stop being elitist.

    I find the paranoia in this article more off the scale than an algorithm that recognizes faces and dates and creates a chronological montage. This isn't AI or scary, it's a quick script.

  7. It's for Free Play Days on As PUBG For PS4 Looms, Xbox Unofficially Responds: Have the Game For Free (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    It looks like this is not free, but a free trial: https://majornelson.com/2018/1...

  8. Re:Wow, that's harsh. on Microsoft Is Embracing Android As the Mobile Version of Windows (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Really dude? "Unable to afford decent products". Get real, the difference between an iphone and android to the average user is nothing but window dressing. Quit fanboying and be realistic.

  9. Not in the US though on Europe To Ban Halogen Lightbulbs (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    I've yet to see a CFL or LED bulb that lasts as long as incandescent bulbs in the US. I've used several brands and wattage's. What's most frustrating about the new LEDs is they're all advertised as '10 year bulbs' but have a 1 year warranty, then die in 9 months. The higher cost per bulb is simply not worth the savings in my electric bill, especially with constantly rising rates.

  10. "...There are some things that just don't work." on Microsoft Engineer Installs Google Chrome During Presentation After Edge Freezes (softpedia.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Like Microsoft Edge.

    I believe KC would be a pretty good spot as well, and would be more central than Denver. I'm just not sure if KC is making any kind of real push.
