I always wear one mountain biking, usually wear one on the street. I have a friend who lost most of the hearing in one ear when he hit his head in a bicycle accident, I'm sure he wishes he'd been wearing one then.
Yeah, that's the tell. 5G isn't going to do anything for rural broadband, the fact that Pai is spinning it that way proves this is just welfare for the telecom industry.
...until I *gasp* read the article. Part of the reason for the padding is that airport congestion often forces planes to circle until a runway is available. You would think, with GPS,it would be fairly easy to create software that tracks flights in realtime and have them adjust their speed in flight to stagger their arrivals, and you'd be right. But the airlines aren't using it.

You can't put a person in a car for 8 hours with literally nothing to do and expect them to be alert and vigilant. That's just not how our brains work. There's plenty of blame to go around for this woman's death, but Uber cheaping out by putting only one person in the test vehicle gets a good chunk of it. And by doing this on public roads they're putting all of us at risk, and that should be criminal.
I pay for 4 accounts and share them with family. Would they pay for their own subscriptions? Hard to say, especially as more competitors appear on the scene. But I'm happy so spend a couple bucks extra to make them happy, and Netflix gets more of my money. They should think twice before blowing that up.
Yep. Building those systems was incredibly expensive and difficult. Replacing such a system is orders of magnitude more difficult...and expensive. For one thing you'll need to retain/import all the old data that no one wants to lose, just in case they need it some day. And every stakeholder who puts up with the limitations of the existing system will have a laundry list of new bells and whistles they want implemented in the new system. "If it works don't fix it" may sound like an excuse to be lazy, but sometimes it's good advice.
Yep, Xmas was the first thing that came to my mind. We were all soooooo happy when December 26 rolled around. That was almost 40 years ago, and I still remember the hell that was Christmas music when I was working retail.
I game with a G602, and yeah, it's good but not awesome. The two front buttons on the side are too much of a stretch for my thumb, and it's too easy to fat-finger the other four. Wish I could try a 700.
Heck yeah. More buttons, programmable. Not just for gaming, being able to bind a key stroke or macro to a mouse button is a big time saver in several apps that I use.
Yeah, I'm using the G400S right now, I really like the shape. Needs a couple more thumb buttons though. I see the 518 has a couple buttons on the right side, which is pretty useless. Wish they'd relaunch the G700.
Yep. Manufacturing takes an ecosystem, it's almost impossible to do everything in house. Hell, Ford sub'd parts for the Model T. I have a friend who used to own several businesses, including a machine shop. As his clients moved their manufacturing overseas, his machining business dried up and he eventually had to shut it down.
Revitalizing a manufacturing sector isn't trivial, one company, even Apple, can't do it overnight.

WTF does that even mean? Can we create a mandatory post-MBA bootcamp to beat this out of them?
...but there's no such thing as a 45 RPM LP. LP stands for "long playing", because dropping the RPMs from 45 to 33 1/3 allowed them to put more music on a disc.
Well yeah, cassettes were your only option if you wanted portable music back in the day, but I can't see why they're making a comeback now. Digital media is better in every way, unless you really like tape hiss.
Pretty much. My iPhone 4 was about a hundred times better than the Android that preceded it, but it got replaced by an Android. Because the Android OS and apps are now good enough, and the hardware is a fraction of what Apple charges. Just not worth it for me to stay on the Apple train.
The Macbook Air used to be a somewhat reasonably-priced machine, now it's almost as much as a Pro. I still like my old Air, but if MS can just figure out how to do virtual desktops right, it will be my last Mac.
Yeah, my mom has advanced dementia, neither of us are rich but thanks to her and dad's pensions (remember those), social security, and insurance she can afford 24-hour care. Otherwise we'd be screwed. Even still, watching her slowly slide into oblivion has been hell.
One of the reasons we build cities is the concentration of resources makes it easier to provide infrastructure. Sure, it would be nice to live 5 miles from your nearest neighbor and have fiber to your house. It would be nice to live in New York City and have a couple acres with a stream running through it. But you can't have everything. We already have satellite. Sure it's not awesome, but it should be adequate for most peoples needs. If you want streaming Netflix or low-latency gaming, maybe farming's not for you.

Prosecuted? They can certainly be sued or fired, but they would not be breaking any laws.

Why?

Same is true of a CD or USB stick. Why bother with a cassette?
Well I have to admit, her version was shorter.....
