it is just replacement camera components that are on offer, not replacement iPhones.
How do they admit that they have a serious problem with a device manufactured less than a year ago and then not do all that they can to back up customers who spent a small fortune on the devices? Not everyone lives in LA and can go walk in to an Apple store (even if the stores are able to fix the phone while you wait, which is not a certain thing). Being without a phone for six to eight weeks is not a viable option, and certainly not a viable option for am expensive device that may have a viable life of a year to 18 months before Apple tells the sheep it it time to line up and buy the next one.
While I have to admit that the legal guarantee to arms granted by the second amendment of the Bill of Rights is not limited to weapons that existed almost 300 years ago, I do like the Massachusetts court's interpenetration that if you feel that you need to protect yourself you should kill your assailant, no use some wimpy non-lethal form of weapon on them for religious or other superstitious reasons.
how many people on the left are calling for increased government surveillance?
Well, lets see. The top "man" on the left is certainly doing it. And he really got pissed when the patriot Snowden revealed what his administration was doing. And his party seems to be behind him (in both this and the destruction of American ideals in plenty of other ways). So all in all I would say most of them.
And remember, Marshmallow is made from gelatin and, as the Simpsons taught us "Gelatin comes from the skin, bones and hooves of only the sickest horses".
It is nice to know that the rest of the world will be able to enjoy the benefits of 5g, while here in the U.S.A. AT&T, Verizon and Sprint will be able to charge us $10/month for every device that we want to hook up (maybe more with inflation) plus taxes and "fees" and then put a pathetic data cap on the usage.
My thoughts exactly. If there is a hosts file (and they are not bypassing it for themselves) then shame on anyone who lets M$ phone home. If the host file is gone (which kills a lot of my abusive advertisement and malware protection) or bypassed then it is time to get the router to protect you from traffic going to Microsoft.
Another nice advantage of the hosts file or router hack is that the home version will wait until you believe it is safe to download those "security updates" and you actually want them, rather than forcing them on home users first to see how much damage is done before feeding them to business users. And I say that as an experienced computer user who has only had real harm done to his system twice, once by uninstalling something that left behind an updated DLL but uninstalled the other new DLL that the first one now needed (nice design Bill) and once by a "security update) that deliberately changed my NIC EEPROM so that Linux would not run properly on it (Thank you Microsoft for such aggressive security).
That's funny because I thought Colorado was still in the U.S. where it is illegal and you were only getting away with it because we have a president who refuses to enforce the laws of the United States.
In 25 years of trying, cold fusion researchers haven't managed to have demonstrate a reproducible phenomenon.
Large amounts of excess heat have been reproduced many many times. Just because some naysayers have failed to reproduce these results is not a valid reason to dismiss the entire field and blackball and label crackpots those who are pursuing it, although that has been happening.
Imagine what 100 gig end point routers, switches and even NICs are going to cost them. Then imagine what the same devices would cost if the "scientists" were not greedy and said others could play too. But I guess they'll feel a lot more important this way playing with exclusive toys. It isn't their money anyway, most or all of it comes from the taxpayers.
No. That's the argument made over and over again, but it isn't actually the way science works.
That argument would have a lot more weight if we didn't see how Professor Peter L. Hagelstein has been treated by M.I.T. for even taking an interest in the process called "cold fusion" (also called low-energy nuclear reactions) and trying to determine where the excess heat was coming from. Clearly there are more politics and less science in the real world that you would have us believe.
Similarly for different but related technology termed "E-CAT", which has had its patent applications rejected because it seems in conflict with existing (old) understanding to nuclear technology.
Once again, politics and the status-qua and funding for big money expensive projects (although they have yet to produce any worthwhile results) take precedent over trying to learn the truth.
So I switched to a vegan diet, not for myself but to save the world. With no meat in my diet I started eating a lot more beans. Now there is just as much methane as the cows would have made, and I've lost friends. And it isn't coming out as burps.
In addition to doing a quick teardown, they took the cables to a city of people exhibiting bad judgement and asked a bunch of people drinking free booze to evaluate the cables...
Perhaps you need to learn that some "news stories" are written by liars with agendas. In my state we had, at last count, 2,214 voters over age 110, with some over age 150. It is clear that these people continue to vote and don't let little things like death get in the way, otherwise that would be purged automatically for not voting. The vast majority of them are Democrats, if you were wondering, but I suspect that you will think that is just a coincidence.
That is only one form of fraud in one stare, yet you want to believe that there were only 31 cases of fraud in the country?
When my first post in this thread was written there were only two other responses in the thread, neither from the original poster. I can't be faulted for "not paying attention" to something that was posted while I was writing. On the other hand, you stated " I don't see anything in his request about playing media..." when the original poster clearly mentioned watching the Popcorn movie service.
I don't see anything in his request about playing media...
You don't seem to have been paying attention. The one example that I saw was watching Popcorn (one of many many free movie sites that the Roku supports including Crackle).
He did mention doing video, gaming and work on the PC but wasn't clear on what he wanted to use the TV for. There are some games available for Roku, even a few free ones, but I wouldn't call it a good gaming solution. I still think the best idea is buying a small computer to use as a media PC near the TV, and I'm equipped to do both; but usually I leave the media TV off and just use the Roku because of the convenience (for the things that it is suitable for).
There are some issues in what you want to do. Some free video sites go to great lengths to prevent you from watching them on a TV (such as Hulu, but not Hulu Plus). But you can watch many sites (including Popcorn) directly on the Roku. For video that you already have on the PC you can use a free DLNA player and search through your computer (or your NAS storage device) right from the Roku. Control of the PC isn't included with this, but there is a free Roku app that will let you send video from the browser to the Roku. Between DLNA and the things that Roku can do directly without the PC you get over 80% of what you seem to want.
I'm a cheap S.O.B., but I would suggest the Rouk 3 over the lesser Rokus or the streaming stick. A refurb from Newegg should do, although if you get a new Roku from the company or someone that has new inventory you'll get a newer product with voice search, a better remote, and a newer better product, even though it keeps the name Roku 3. Or wait, I think an even newer one is due out "real soon now".
Alternately, I would suggest that you consider an inexpensive computer. Newegg frequently has a refurb HP on "sale" for well under 200 with Win 7 (and eligible for free Win 10 upgrade if you want to accept that) . Connect it with a VGA cable or pop in a half height video card for HDMI support and you'll have a real computer that can go anywhere on the web and do a lot that the Roku or other TV appliances can't do.
By the way, Bluetooth isn't line of sight, but the range is limited and likely wouldn't let you use it between the TV room and the computer room.

Boy, easy to see that you are a user.
Anyone know this to be correct and able to provide a list of IP addresses that need to be blocked at the router?

Why? Are you unable to Google the string " 2,214 voters over the age of 110 "?
I stand corrected, you are absolutely right.
Sorry, my post was intended as a response to the person who posted the link, saw it somehow ended up under yours (likely user error).

If they are not legal persons, that makes them illegal persons. Right?
And since they are not legal they are entitled to stay in this country, collect welfare and rape and kill people. Makes sense to me.
