Why do you give a shit? People do what they want with their money. If this is what they enjoy then so be it. Stop trying to tell people what you think is best for them and worry about your own self.
By law in the USA the government can only restrict speech that poses an imminent danger of unlawful action, where the speaker has the intention to incite such action and there is the likelihood that this will be the consequence of his or her speech, may be restricted and punished by that law.
Last I checked the Constitution only applies to the government. The/. admins could restrict anything they want to and not be against the law. Any private organization can censor the speech is within their property as they please. Now if this university receives government funds then it's a different story.
I would like to see how much money was given to, donated to or trips paid for by Comcast, AT&T and Verizon to Blackburn and these 31 Republicans over the past 10 years. I'm sure we'll get our answer as to why they are pushing this afterwards.
I always have 1-2 spare batteries with me. If i'm away from being able to charge it then I can swap the battery with a fully charged one. I would rather do this than carry an external charger as well.
Browser: Google Chrome Extension: Tabs to the front! What it does: Brings newly created tabs to the foreground.
When opening a link in a new tab on my phone and having to take the extra time to then change to it enrages me. Why would anyone long press a link and choose "Open in new tab" and not want to view that tab right away? Why does Chrome toss it in the back?
These days that's totally changed, so it doesn't cost them much to make calls and abandon them
More and more robo calls are made from hacked Asterisk servers. This cost them zero yet the owner of the hacked Asterisk server often gets a bill in the tens of thousands.
Also when I get someone calling me and trying to offer me services of some sort, I instantly start talking over them and try to sell them various services my job offers. Two can play at that game.
And while you can't technically delete the apps without root, you can disable them, which makes them essentially deleted (they won't show up in the app drawer or notifications or intents). The only difference is that the app is still taking up a tiny bit of space, but this is hardly worth throwing a fit over.
I've noticed on my Samsung tablet which I haven't bother to root yet, if you disable some of the Samsung apps or 3rd party apps like Flipboard that came pre-installed, they will magically become re-enabled and update.
Also the pre-installed games that you can't uninstall can take up several hundred megs of space.
But that was how many years ago? 500+? The Catholic church and it's beliefs have greatly changed since. The way I see it, Islam (or some members/sections of it) today is where the Christian/Catholic religion was many centuries ago was. Trying to force their beliefs on others and wanting to kill those that don't accept. The true Muslim people that are against this violence need to stand up. This is a fight that can only be won from within it's own religion with its own people if you ask me.
(I too am not religious. I don't hate them I just choose not to be brain washed)
Being able to directly connect to other players is fine but you need to already know a buddy and their IP address first. You would no longer be able to connect to a random game with random people. I loved playing Doom 2 & Warcraft 2 with others but could only do it with my friend when he was home and online or we packed up our computer and took it to the other persons house.
That COULD be an option but very few people would use it today.
Put a DVD copy of the movies in a satellite, launch it and beam the movies down to NK in every electronic format possible from AM radio to HD. Put the movies on loop and hit play.
Last I checked all my utilities other than water are private companies. My taxes won't pay my electric, gas or phone bill. If I don't pay any of them then they get shut off.
Also I pay my water bill to my local city and it's not even part of my taxes.
Companies can create jobs if they want. 40 years ago an auto manufacturing factory might have employed 3,000 workers. That same factory today would most likely only employee 1,000 because robots replace most of the workers on the lines. In the meantime the company makes more income because they don't have to pay 2,000 employees various wages and benefits.
Companies today are requiring their current employees to do the work of 2-4 people so they don't have to hire more.
It appears you reply in anger before reading who the comment was from so I'm going to assume your reply was for DiamondGeezer as mind was the first one made.
Also my comment was anything but aggressive while you're comment is slightly on the aggressive side, you know, saying I'm spreading lies about vegans and all when I in fact never said anything about vegans. I simply don't like someone telling me or others to fix something that isn't broken. I'm very healthy if not on the tad under weight side according to my Dr. Matter a fact, last cholesterol levels were too low. Sounds like I need to eat more fatty meats and some yummy eggs.
So in the end, you feel something is wrong with me because I eat meat. Don't say otherwise because, here let me quote you:
It's not about "moral choices"; it's about conformity to a non-mainstream ideal so as to set oneself apart and produce a feeling of independence.
What if my "non-mainstream ideal" is that I need to view at least 1 hour of porn a day. Should the prison be required to supply me with that each day?
If you don't want to eat the food the prison supplies then fine, the prison will get you your special meal but once you're released you're sent a bill for your choice of food. There will be an exception if you require a special diet but only if a doctor states it's needed for you to live.
I partly agree with that. I've played Ingress with a group of people before and we we travel around the non AT&T/Verizon users data would often go in and out. They ended up just needing to tether to one of our hotspots.
The cheaper services in my area have many many dead zones.
Either way any online death threat should be investigated. In the end the person (if old enough) should be publicly called out and shamed. If underage their parents would then be notified and HOPE they deal with it. Also I wouldn't object to the parents being send part of the investigation bill. They can put their child to work washing dishes and mowing the lawn till they are 18 to pay for it.
If it's found to be credible then it's time to prosecute.

And still spotty coverage. T-Mobile coverage is pretty bad where I am. My verizon works everywhere I go in my state.

I was under the impression this was kept to Sony Pictures and didn't involve the electronics side.

Dude might have a pair of Flips headphones, or better yet, Beats headphones! He's going to bring schoolhouse rock back. /end sarcasm
Here in the US (at least near a major city), LTE is last gen tech.
This. Now, with "XLTE" I can blow past my monthly data cap in 13 minutes of full speed downloading! The future has arrived.
I don't really even understand the point in XLTE anyways. I can pull 50mbit on my LTE. Why would anyone need faster over a cell phone?
My speeds range from 15 to 65mbits. I would guess average around 20.
veganism is completely unnatural
It's believed that the human brain greatly evolved from eating meat afterall.
It appears you reply in anger before reading who the comment was from so I'm going to assume your reply was for DiamondGeezer as mind was the first one made.

So in the end, you feel something is wrong with me because I eat meat. Don't say otherwise because, here let me quote you:
now please fix your diet and mindset
I never say anything was wrong with being vegan.
My meat packed freezer and diet are just fine. now please stop forcing your beliefs upon others. Do as you wish and I'll do as I wish.
It's not about "moral choices"; it's about conformity to a non-mainstream ideal so as to set oneself apart and produce a feeling of independence.
What if my "non-mainstream ideal" is that I need to view at least 1 hour of porn a day. Should the prison be required to supply me with that each day?

Like Verizon charging it's customers extra to be able to use the Hot-Spot on their phone...
But it's impossible to catch anonymous teenagers on the internet after they post anything at all...
That worked out well for the Silk Road 2.0 people who thought they were all hidden and anonymous.
Either way any online death threat should be investigated. In the end the person (if old enough) should be publicly called out and shamed.
