    half the world thinks it's okay to beat a woman. one third thinks it's okay to have a child bride and have sex with that child.

    you're fine with that, ANN?

    ISP jerked me around for weeks reseting my modem which showed noisy / lossy line. Then they made me drive to an office of theirs to switch modems, new modem had same problem as old modem of course. Finally I posted on newly created twitter account with just the right hashtag to put my tweet in stream with their marketing spew, and presto, tech came and ran a new line (old one chewed up by squirrels) within 48 hours.

    So now you know what to do.....

    too expensive for most kids, cigarettes are cheaper and easier to come by. where I live vaping would cost 2.5 times the price of cigarettes, your taxation rate may vary some.

    They look identical to most people who do neither one.

    Cigarette smoke is putrid and the stench lingers for almost 24 hours on a smoker. Vaping isn't as disgusting for passer-by

  7. the truly l337 and browser-tech agnostic way of having app loading screens is to implement them as animated GIFS.

  8. Translation: Their way of making money is a detriment to the way you make your living, or wish you could make a living? There are many ways to do each of the things you list without doing PWAs; no one has to share your infatuation with PWA

  9. How boring, here I thought sacrificing virgins via impaling with meat sword was the correct protocol.

  10. not necessarily, if they had handlers that sent them to riot they should be prosecuted, convicted and sentenced.

    google may realize we already have practical fusion, solar panel efficiency and storage systems have arrived.

  12. hilarious the posts blaming plastics for a minute amount of estrogen equivalent when we have tons of actual estrogen being dumped into the water supply via women's birth control pills

    next they'll add daisy chaining though it might need a terminator at the end and little DIP switches to set each device to a unique ID. It could be called something like Simultaneous Chained Serial Interfaces

    very minor effect compared to the feminine hormone analogs emitted by body fat. The major culprit is obesity.

    they can't make a profit on it; their decision is purely business based.

    Intel is not the top dog anyway, the most powerful CPU chips on the planet are made by another company that starts with "I". Most the money/financial transactions in the world exist on their machines.

    you're confused, a path through land mines can be cleared trivially in war.

    The land mines maim innocents, they should not exist. Claiming the korean DMZ is magicallly different from the worlds other DMZs where the USA has already agreed they should not be used is hypocrisy. There are plenty of other ways to maintain security in a DMZ
