It seems entirely plausible and rational to think the media IS in fact 'out to get' Facebook. After all, the media, for the most part, is all about ad money, and Facebook is siphoning off traditional media's ad money by the billions. It could be argued it's irrational to think the media ISN'T out to get FB.
FTFA: "At its peak, in November 2017, it (Bitcoin Cash) briefly hit $19,783 - which means the price has fallen by about 75%."
The author of the story is inconsistently referring to BTC and BCH. BCH has NEVER gotten anywhere close to $19k, BTC has. There are other places in the short summary where I had to stop and think if the author was referring to BTC or BCH.

Many of the WWII era subs used a hybrid system. The USS Seawolf used early in the war had four diesels: two connected directly to the props, two connected to generators. The sub could only drive at max speed with all four diesels running, two driving the props directly, two supplementing the power by first generating electricity that was then fed directly to the motors on the props.
A more accurate analogy than "A rude guy on the train" would be a "A fat person taking up two seats because they're too lazy to spend the time to lose weight."
Analogies are pretty basic stuff and generally frowned amongst the journalist types. If you're going to make them, make them right.
Please, please stop calling Bitcoin 'anonymous'. It is the exact opposite of anonymous, as every single transaction can be tracked. It is pseudonymous because each transaction can be tracked to infinity, but cannot be linked with a real-life person until one in the chain is known.
Been experiencing this also, at first thought I was just going crazy. As as soon as I deleted the FB app I started getting weird email notifications like "So-and-so commented on your friend's photo"(WTF?), despite having all email notifications turned off.
If they're trying that hard to get individuals back, they're dying. Goodbye.

Adam Curry and John C Dvorak. They take no advertising so no paid biases. Deconstruction of the spin from MSM.
In the morning!
I had the same thing happen to me twice today, the first time it has ever happened. Must be a Slashdot problem. Thats what they get for runnin' them there limnux thingy!:)
Smart bombs themselves do not directly rely on GPS. The aircraft they are released from gets a solid fix before dropping the bomb, then the bomb relys on intertial guidance. I would think it would be pretty obvious to the pilot/bomber that his GPS was being jammed and his position was freaking out. Also, once the bomb is dropped, it will be accurate even if the whole GPS system went down.
You are right, the alternator does always spin at the same speed as the engine. When extra load is added to the system, however, the voltage regulator senses a drop in voltage. It then allows more current flow to the field coils in the alternator, since the armature (sp?) is now spinning the same speed, but in a stronger magnetic field, addional rotational engery is converted to electrical energy. This coversion of rotational to electrical energy is seen by the engine as 'drag'.
The alternator supplies power on-demand. Once the battery is charged the alternator only puts out a few amps of current, mainly to run the computer, ignition, etc. The more accessories that are turned on, the more current the alternator must supply, the more rotational drag to the engine. There is no 'rest of the power'.
The important thing to remember is the current install base. They don't need to innovate, only keep the differences in performance/features small enought that the hassles of switching are greater than the benefits. In other words, they need only keep people happy enough to stay. Many places (like where I work, UPS) are MS B****hes and it would take something VERY VERY major to convice them to go elsewhere, even if MS has a vasly inferior product.
The poster said "...Ozone depleting freon..." Does he realize that R-12 has been banned since 1995? Thats 10 YEARS that R-12 has effectively been out of use. ALL new refrigerators, A/C units, etc run using R-134a since 1995.
This is a common misconception by the average consumer who does not educate him/herself. The current refrigerant (R-134a) does not destroy the Ozone layer. DO YOUR RESEARCH!
It is ignorance like this that helps all the wackos on both sides of the aisle out there take hold and gain power!
If you don't like what a company is doing, cancel your service and tell them why. With number portability these days, there is no reason to stay with a provider you don't like. Thats the beauty of capitalism, we have a choice. Instead of BIG GOVT fining people who do bad (and thus deciding what is right and wrong) the consumer has a CHOICE.
where do you get this information from? Every newspaper article I have ever read says the outcome of the recount done byt the NYT and others ALL came out in Bush's favor. I'd like to see your source.
And they probably just like 'harassing' you because you look like a normal citizen? NOT! If you LOOK like a druggie, have a CAR like a druggie, you can expect to get TREATED like a druggie. They are just trying to do their job so that people like you don't go out and bitch about how the cops don't catch druggies!
You are right, it WAS a lot of butt covering, but the simple fact of the matter is that the evidence that those memos were FAKE was right in front of them the WHOLE TIME. They simply did not follow the normal process of investigation that they would have for any other piece of news. So tell me, why were they in such a hurry to put the story of the memos out? Why were they so EAGER to pulbish something that just HAPPENED to support Kerry's next speach? Don't mod me down as a flamebait again, just because you don't see it my way. I am just bringing up some legit points here.
If the American people WANT to hear Jon Stewart, the polls will show that the networks can make money with his AM/FM talk show. Ergo, the networks will see that as a viable option. Don't think that he DESERVES a spot on talk radio just because you think he is funny or raises some good points. If enough people like him (ie, he raises some good points of debate, etc) then he will eventually get a spot on the media of his choice. Don't get caught in the trap of thinking that if he doesn't get a spot on some large media that it was because there is some big conspiracy. It wasn't. It was simply because not enough people wanted to hear him. Trust me, it doen't take more that a few million listeners to make a show profitable. Thats only a few percent of the population.
I disagree with the statement "the media... certainly isn't liberal." What makes you say the media doesn't have a bias? What proof do you have? Sure, Fox tends to lean to the right, but how do you explain the lackadaisial coverage of CBS's BLATENT Kerry supporting with their little memo scandal?
Yes, sucess requires failures, but not of this kind!! Imagine if in the early days of cars they had spent millions of dollars researching and designing the latest carburator, then installed it BACKWARD.
We expect failures like "Hmm we didn't know there would be THAT much particulate matter in space, look at all those holes!", not "oops, got that backwards!!" or, "oops, forgot to convert to metric!"
"It's always the little things that get me, I always get a fscking decimal point wrong or something!" --Michael, Office Space
You may think we Bush followers blindly follow bush. For some that may be true. Has it ever occured to you that we happen to have views that agree with bush?
Unlike the majority of Slashdotters, we don't blindly HATE bush!!
Be careful and don't get caught up in the same mistake you accuse Bush of doing: Only reading and agreeing with what you want to see. You may see this article about how Bush 'LIED' and get all fired up, but did you see the article about all the good things Bush has done for small businesses?

Sorry, transaction fees are currently in the $1 range.

Ditto on NoAgenda. Love their humor and insight into the daily workings of the news cycle.

So, how are we going to blame this on global warming as well? :)

Apparently he also ran his web server off the same tablet PC. The tablet PC that is now a steaming pile of plastic.
Will you ever be satisfied?
