It's different though, it's local channels, some people that matters to. It is also live TV, plus On Demand, plus DVR for up to 6 screens at the same time. That is $100-$135 from spectrum, after you pay for cable boxes and DVR service.
Also, this allows for more specialized programming. There may not be enough people to support HGTV, but the ones who don't watch HGTV, watch Discovery, or something else. Essentially, unbundling would make the one channel you do watch probably cost about 75% of the cost of the bundle, as each station would need to account for it's own needs and not just be another specialty programming channel.
For one, Broadcast TV is 720P, this can be up to 4K. For another, you don't need to pay monthly fees for equipment for each television to watch, a $35 fire-stick will do the job at minimum. It has more channels than basic cable. It has also been my experience that at least DirecTV, has plenty of On Demand content on their website, but live TV is a crap-shoot if it works. YouTube TV is a better value, you get unlimited DVR and 6 screens for $50/month.
Television means that you watch in realtime some programming that is created at another place (from greek: teleos, far away, and latin: vision, view). And even if the show or movie you are watching was prerecorded, it gets send to all viewers at exactly the same time, so you are still televiewing it, and there is no stop, rewind or anything. If you miss a second, it stays missed, and you can't rewatch it. Netflix, Hulu, Youtube or whatever you call them are totally asynchronous. They are not "far away viewing" something in realtime. You can stop the show and continue at any moment you like.
Your whole argument is that more than one person is watching it in real time, and that you cannot pause. But the "remote viewing" box you describe, will watch content that was not locally created, but made far away. there is no implied real-time in the term television. I mean heck, With all the subscribers of You-tube, Hulu, netflix, etc, there is a good chance someone else is watching exactly what I am watching when I am watching it. Which would reduce your argument down to the ability to pause and rewind. If that is the case TV really only exists in a very small portion of the USA, as most people who have TV have it with some form of DVR that allows you to pause live TV in real time. Also, notice how I use the term "Live TV" it's almost as of TV isn't in its native state, Real time.
I would like to see a "Net Neutrality" style regulation, one that guanentees that you know any meta data used against you, and a right to rescind that information (maybe at the cost of a pay service). and make them declare that places like facebook are the modern "Public square" and should have the rights to freedom of expression just like anywhere else in the US. (Other countries can make their own rules, if facebook can't be bothered to have 1 development team per country, then maybe they don't need to be in those countries)
If past anti-trust breakups are any indication, It usualy ends up with the parent company making record profits and all the child companies also doing very well, and wealth gets generated quicker. It's like a toddler fighting a nap, they will bitch and say they don't need it, but at the end of the nap, everyone is much happier.
I thought that all corporations were basically supposed to pay 0% taxes, All the taxes are there to create pressure to do things that help the overall economy. Hire people for work, build public works, etc. So basically, it's like this. Spend the money on the public good, or we will take the money and spend it for public good.
Just to be clear, I am not an advocate of corporate welfare, but I would like to see what they did to qualify for 0% taxes, most likely not enough.
Just about all ice cream these days uses carrageenan (a seaweed extract) in place of a large portion of actual cream. Nobody more guilty than McDonald's milk shakes since around 2005. They're already supposed to be half liquid but also don't really melt.
It was bad enough being whipped to the point of being 40% air.
McDonald's Shakes are classified as an "edible plastic" by the FDA, according to the plastics lady who came into our science class 22 years ago....
A wall won't help without massive amount of support. The logistics alone are a nightmare, even if the wall only costs 5 billion dollars, you have the years of court battles fighting over eminent domain, as most borderlands are owned by private citizens. And again, without paying enough people to walk the wall, regularly, it is the equivalent of a screen door. Spend 5 billion on patrolling, it would actually help the situation. Walls are easily overcome. To your analogy, you want to put a million dollar door locked with a pad-lock next to an open window.
well Israel is the size of a county in Texas. and a small wall with a concentration of troops watching it constantly and shooting anything that comes near it, does work. Unfortunately, that isn't how it works at all in the USA. First of all, the cost, we are talking 25 billion dollars, and that doesn't include upkeep, or staffing enough people to walk the wall every day. Secondly, the #1 way illegals enter the country is by overstaying their visa. The wall won't stop any of the most popular way they are getting across. I think the dems should get their amnesty program for people in the states now in trade for the wall. That would be politics working. Illegal immigration is bad for everyone, We need a way to nationalize or boot those that are here, and shore up the border, but a wall is just a waste in this situation, we will spend more on the "principle" than what it is actually costing us enforcing it at status quo.
Anyone remember when Steam was complaining that every update caused Steam to crash in a new and interesting way. They accused Microsoft of intentionally breaking the Steam Marketplace to get people to use the Microsoft Store.
Can you buy any phone at all that fulfills that particular requirement? The liability is simply too great, especially considering it's a device that hooks up to cellphone networks.
One Plus 5 seems to be very promising in that regard. you can run custom roms on it, and all the bloat is removable, unlike say a Samsung Bloat s6, s7, or s8
How many computers can you buy that offer built-in, seamless, fully factory supported rooting? You can root any (most?) computers, but it sure as hell isn't fully factory supported.
define "Root" clearly you are allowed to install whatever OS you choose and is compatible with the hardware. Nobody offers "support" for anything without money. Not android, nor Windows, Nor HP, any of them. At no point do you void your warranty for running any OS. But let's say you "root" windows and uninstall bits and pieces that Microsoft wants you to have running at all times (I.E. Anti-malware service, Cortana, and Store) It is still supported as much as it was before you did that.
That is why you plan your shit out. Trip Friday night, and have two days to recover. It's like if you plan, you can be both irresponsible, and responsible at the same time.
We're sorry, this software is incompatible with your version of java because it is insecure. Here at the shop we have to keep some windows XP boxes around to run ancient versions of JAVA so some of the hardware management tools will still work.
What people don't realize is that when things went from 480p (DVD quality) to 1080i (first gen HD) the difference wasn't so much about it being a clearer picture, it was about having more screen real estate to work with. at 480p, if you wanted to do a landscape, you had to letterbox, now you only have 300 scan lines or less and you don't get the same quality. They did not do that for the 1080-4K though. Although, they should, I understand that they cannot. In theory, to enjoy a 65" 4k television and be able to discern the difference between that and a 1080p you have to be 4' from the screen. Now if 4K tvs took up 4x the space, and they used it to show more of the world around them, I would be impressed. So far 4k means very little over 1080P
Turing was prosecuted in 1952 for homosexual acts, when by the Labouchere Amendment, "gross indecency" was criminal in the UK. He accepted chemical castration treatment, with DES, as an alternative to prison. Turing died in 1954, 16 days before his 42nd birthday, from cyanide poisoning.
It's not
'right" persay, it's the self proclaimed Alt-right, neo-nazi, KKK, vanguard fucks. There are no other groups out there trying to destroy others. Even if these groups did everything they wanted peacefully, we would need to have a peaceful genocide, or mass exodus before they would be happy. BLM just wants to not get shot, if you cannot see the difference. I will always stand against that. plain and simple. Name one time in the history of the world that the attitudes of the groups mentioned above won forever?
Lol, a girl told you to shut up and therefor your prejudices are true.
That logic of the alt-right is nothing more the schoolyard butthurt.
The fact you assume I am prejudiced, and that you are defensive and condescending when talking about the topic proves what the article is saying. You cannot even bring up objective reality without automatically blaming the "White patriarchy" for being oppressors. I am anti-alt right, but because I can identify difference in the sexes on an average, I am an alt-right A-hole. You caught me. Now you can dismiss me without even considering an idea other than your own.
It's like this... I was talking to a girl who was getting her degree in womans studies. She said she wanted to find out how to get more women into STEM programs. I asked her why she didn't get a STEM degree. She then told me to shut up. Now I am sure she could more than handle the work of a google engineer, but she doesn't WANT to be a google engineer, she thinks OTHER GIRLS should be engineers. That is the mindset that no matter how much you offer free training and special treatment you give, won't change the fact that they don't want to to begin with. For any reason.
We are all ignoring the elephant in the room as to why there are less females in programming. H1B visas. Large corporations have been replacing workers with Indians with an H1B Visa. India does not have the gender equality that the US does. So they are sending more males to fill the roles, that will tip the scales.

Yeah, Just hopped back on slashdot after a long hiatus followed by a short hiatus, I am glad to see some things never change,

What is Stonewall? if you are referring to the riots in the 1960's that was in New York City.
