Thanks BeauHD. It is so interesting to know that Teslas sell better than high end cars from Motor Co. As a special thank-you, you don't have to read or edit the next story that you promote. (I figured you were not going to start now anyway.)
Microsoft users are just being disruptive and belligerent. Microsoft has the right to kick them off their computers any time they want, and to send in the jack booted thugs if the user will not go quietly.
Background fact: All modern NICs (Network Interface Controller) used on Ethernet interfaces have an EEPROM on them. This is what allows the NIC to be mass produced but still each one can have its own unique MAC address.There is left over space is all NIC EEPROMS that I have seen, and manufacturers have used that space to let the NIC owner control configuration options.
I haven't installed any Windows update since I bought an XP laptop with SP1 and Windows kept wanting to install an "important security update". After a month of using XP and a live Linux CD (Knoppix) with no significant problems, I finally accepted the "security update". Windows still worked as well as Windows can be expected to work, but my live Linux CD could no longer connect to the Internet! I eventually tracked the problem to the EEPROM on my notebook's NIC being changed to an unusable startup configuration. Windows knew to not use the configuration in EEPROM and just configured the NIC itself, Linux didn't know that the EEPROM had been screwed with and kept trying to use the configuration stored in EEPROM. I did fin cumbersome manual ways to work past it eventually, but it is an experience that I don't want to have again.
Being that the only people who have ever done harm like this to my computer is the Microsoft corporation, I no longer accept security updates from the only company that I need the protection from.
Yea. If they didn't overbook they would have to come up with some other scam like non-refundable tickets. And obviously if someone had a non-refundable ticket then their seat was paid for weather they arrived or not so clearly they couldn't be bumped from the flight.
Old computers typically presented you with a command prompt as soon as you switched them on
Oh you lids.That's not true at all. Old computers, both commercial and hobby, looked at you stupidly and waited for you to toggle in a bootstrap loaded on the switches and lights before they would even consider giving you a prompt.
Eventually some hobby computers did gain a prompt through built in ROM. I remember the SWTP 6800 computer that would give you an * prompt if you got everything right. If you got the baud rate wrong, the "*" became a "fu".
We all know these drugs have an insane markup. The drug companies are getting rick because they set astronomical prices for drugs the might help people, even a little. And they get it because insurance is forced to pay for it, not individuals who could never come up with the money on an individual basis. We have created the problem by mandating insurance and then letting the drug companies pilfer it blind.
This is just another facet of the problem that drug companies use U.S. public funding for the research to help develop most of these drugs, then turn around and charge the American taxpayer more for the drugs than they sell them in other countries, both third world countries like the African nations and first world countries like Canada. And, of course, they spend a lot on expensive lobbying to buy politicians to make sure we in America don't get access to those drugs they sell in Canada.
Tuition prices are not tied to inflation or any other real economic index. Rises in tuition have been shown to be directly related to one thing: the availability of student loans. So when the government makes more student loans available they are screwing all students, those expecting to go through school by taking out loans and even those saving and trying to work hard to pay their own way (which becomes harder and harder to do as tuition costs skyrocket).
What a great thing the FCC has done now to help make sure the cable companies will never face any real competition and will be able to set whatever prices they want.
Americans get to keep low paying software jobs (unless they can be shipped overseas), and the people coming in on H1B visas will have to take high paying jobs (like overseeing the programmers or late night talk show hosts). I'm not quite why I don't feel better about this victory.
You seem to imply that we teach women with bad teaching methods. Bu, since males do better at math than females,t you also imply that we teach males in the same classroom with good teaching methods. Please explain how in your imaginary world that happens.
So, if you force people who are not good at math to do more of it, they will eventually figure out that they are not good at it and avoid it? Well, lets just do other things to force them into a field that they will not be good in. Anything but admit that there might actually be valid differences in the sexes.
The astronomical prices only exist because of the assumption that everyone has healthcare and it isn't coming out of their pocket. Have people pay for these things out of their own pocket and you'll see how quickly prices come down. Prices have escalated astronomically since the so call "affordable health care act". Also, you fail to mention in your "make everyone get it" speech that Obamacare specifically doesn't apply the mandate to Muslims. How exactly is that fair to all of the real Americans?
The problem with Obama care is that the majority of Americans wanted it repealed, not replaced with something else broken. Also the Trump hating media kept stressing that 24 million Americans would lose coverage, which is not a bad thing when you let those 24 million have a choice and not be forced to buy insurance they don't want.
Pay you? That's Bulls... I mean Fake News. They will give you an imaginary $5 "discount" on something that they completely control the price of. They will not pay you anything, just pretend that you are saving some money off of a high priced service.
The Democrats would be on a lot higher moral ground if they had shown any outrage about the Snowden revelations and what the NSA is doing to Americans during the Obama administration.
I doubt that anyone here reading this (except maybe the snowflakes) believes the "clouds shaped by gravity waves"claim. No wonder they are losing funding, and NASA has no one to blame except themselves.

Wow. What an honor it must be in Australia to win the ability to apply to MickyD for a job.

No, they are actually defrauding both the customer and the driver. It's the Uber way. Verizon is jealous.
Uber. We defraud the driver and pass the savings along to you.

Did you RTFA? If you read only the summary, you did.

I was hoping that they could half the speed of the next generation RAM. Instead they are doubling it?

If I hadn't already posted here I would mod you down for stating the obvious.
They also have great deals on prostitutes. Unfortunately the quality and professionalism of resources is also questionable in this area too.

No. Nothing can be a planet unless it is larger than Neil deGrasse Glactus's ego. A dwarf planet is no more a planet than a dwarf person is a person.
And by violent extremism, we mean Trump supporters and anyone who says anything negative against Muslims. Accuracy will not be accepted as an excuse.
