I love seeing the TV stories about the guy with a PHD in Philosophy complaining that there are no jobs (other than teaching) in his field and how much debt he has. Clearly this man didn't think things through, and maybe isn't even capable of doing that. And he's not being very philosophical about it.
The samples don't sound great, and I really wonder how well it does trying to record a conversation rather than one person talking directly into a mic. Still, I would welcome the chance to try an app based on this to see if it could really record your day, although until I can test it I'm a disbeliever.
Wow, that's great. There will be absolutely no way for the experienced fraudsters at the electronic bay of thieves to scam the system or make educated guesses about if they should send out the real or counterfeit items. I can now trust eBay completely. Not that there were ever problems before and we all know that any problem this elaborate effort is designed to correct was just an innocent mistake. I'll even be able to buy 5000 mah 18650 batteries from the eBay vendors now. And puppy dogs will go to heaven and all will be wonderful. It is a shame that Obama couldn't have given us this eight years ago and we had to wait for Trump to be about to take office to get this great change.
The emphasis isn't really on networks with Sling, it is on cheating the customer. If you look at the $20 "orange" offering from Sling you might not find anything that you want to watch at all (that was the case for me). The $25 "blue" package is a little better, it claims to offer more channels including FXX and National Geographic Wild. But these two channels (and perhaps others) are not really there, they only offer you a handful of archived show episodes to stream on demand, not the regular channel lineup for these networks. And if you have any hope of signing up for Sling and then logging in to a network's web page using Sling as your provider, forget it. Sling isn't accepted as a provider on any of the sites that I wanted to use even though you are supposedly paying for the content. And Sling offers very little streaming content through the Sling apps. By the way, the service is awful too, and I frequently could watch half a show, only to start getting errors blaming my Internet connection and couldn't finish watching the show. Tests of my connection and it speed indicated that the problem was with Sling, not my Internet provider. And don't even get me started on the awful quality of the support staff.
If I only used a computer to run an operating system I would give your suggestion a try. Unfortunately, I use a computer to run applications, and many of the ones that I run are not available under Linux. I also support other people and so have to be able to run the programs that they run, not some Linux GPL app that has some of the same features. It isn't realistic for those people to try to use Linux (I'm not even sure that it is realistic for me to do battle with the Linux OS, and I've mastered quite a few OSs over the decades), so I'm still using Windows.
Hillary lost, get over it. Obviously enough people hated her more than they loved the planet. But if you really want to bring out the global warming fake news, you should do it in the summer, not when so many Americans are suffering from an extreme winter storm and would welcome a little more global warming.
You only considered one factor, a cost of replacement batteries (that might be true for Nissan but isn't the price in all cases), but you just ignored all of the other factors such as original higher price that the car costs, annual taxes, and that you still have to pay for the electricity that charges the car.
I go so tired of seeing Windows 10 insist that there was a mandatory update that I just had to install that instant that it wouldn't let me do anything else until I did (except shut the machine down then reboot, giving me a day before it got bitchy again) that I fixed my Windows system to never get updates. So I guess I'll never get this one.
I don't believe it is at all cheaper in the long run. And it certainly isn't cheaper if you plan on keeping the car long enough that you have to change out the batteries. Plus, in some states (like mine) there are taxes on the car based on its price, making the greenest cars even more expensive to own. I'm not even sure the green cars are even greener, I believe that if you consider production pollution that green cars may be dirtier (although admittedly I have not seen data that I can trust on this).
I can't speak specifically about NBC sports (I don't watch sportsball), but another disadvantage of Sling is that, at least for the websites that I have tried, Sling is not considered a "provider". So if you want to be able to log in to sites like Syfy and USA and watch on-line content, you have another reason to avoid Sling TV. The sites that I have tried simply do not accept Sling TV as a provider, even though you have paid to receive those same channel over Sling. Sling pretends to have some of the same content, but actually has much much less than you get on the channel's website if you can log in with a "real" service provider.
I'm not clear why Sling is even a part of anything offered by a satellite service, but avoid them.
I just canceled a Sling subscription. There were many reasons, including ignorant support people and awful quality. I would often watch the first half of a show just fine then have it lock up and get an error message telling me to check my Internet connection and fight with my Internet provider. When I would check my Internet connection it was working fine and at the full speed expected and that I had watched the first half of the show with. But the worst offense by Sling in my mind is that they really don't provide the channels that they claim. I had the $25 "Blue" package because there was really nothing that I would watch on the $20 Orange package. But as soon as I signed up I found that I couldn't watch the advertised FXX or National Geographic Wild packages. After much absurd hoop jumping with support I finally got an email telling me that the FXX channel did not provide a "live stream" but that there were a few archived programs that i could watch that might have been shown on FXX once. The same seems to be true for Nat Geo Wild, and it might be the case for other channels that I have not even checked. If you tried to tune into a sports channel that had a game you wanted to see, you wouldn't accept it if the streaming service told you that the game was not available but they had a small set of recorded games from 2014 that you could watch. Why should Sling customers accept this on FXX, Wild or any other advretised channel that is part of the paid package?
Doesn't sound like this really meets the requirement of being a copy of the original release then. And how the hell is Disney letting them get away with this?
More Fake News. I don't believe it for a second. Unless Han shoots first and all of the other crap has been put back to where it was when the film was created, then it isn't the Original Star Wars. And even though that whore Lucas no longer has any say in this production, I can't see the new whores allowing us to have a true copy of the Star Warts film masterpiece.
How dare you actually expect Editor David to do a competent job? That's not in the job definition of a Slashdot editor. You need to lower your expectations immediately. You should expect and accept duplicate posts, grammatical errors and sentences that just don't make any sense, incomplete thoughts, and completely irrelevant and non-technical posts on fluff piece "celebrity news" articles.
Don't pick on Editor David. He had no qualifications to actually edit Slashdot and is doing as good of a job as he feels like doing without any supervision or guidance.
Absolutely! Pick any commodity. Some region is going to be paying the most and called the most competitive for it. That may be local news but it certainly isn't national or world news. It isn't technical news either on anything but a local scale, and even then only if it involves a technical commodity. If only Slashdot had editors who understood their job maybe this could have been avoided.

I blame the party who put on the ballot the only person in the country that Trump could beat.

Damn, I should have known there was a catch!
So, just from the headline (no, I didn't RTFA or RTFS) it seems like you are saying that the millennials are over-paid.

Use Linux instead :)

I'm usually opposed to any industry mergers, but in this case I can say with confidence that Verizon deserves Yahoo.

Some parts even have brand new matte backgrounds
Doesn't sound like this really meets the requirement of being a copy of the original release then. And how the hell is Disney letting them get away with this?
You want to give us a reference to this? I know there were VHS copies of the Original, but my understanding was that all DVD copies had been "ruined".
of the Original 'Star Wars'
More Fake News. I don't believe it for a second. Unless Han shoots first and all of the other crap has been put back to where it was when the film was created, then it isn't the Original Star Wars. And even though that whore Lucas no longer has any say in this production, I can't see the new whores allowing us to have a true copy of the Star Warts film masterpiece.
You write as eloquently as I expect you are capable of writing.

When will the Government start shutting down Fake News sites like the Washington Post?
One word answer is in the subject line.
If people can't read the Slashdot summary and from that know what a new cryptic acronym stands for (without RTFA), a Slashdot editor should be fired.
Absolutely! Pick any commodity. Some region is going to be paying the most and called the most competitive for it. That may be local news but it certainly isn't national or world news. It isn't technical news either on anything but a local scale, and even then only if it involves a technical commodity. If only Slashdot had editors who understood their job maybe this could have been avoided.
Slashdot and the sun are pretty much on the same level.
No, The Sun has editors that actually edit.
