I had this offer for DirecTV for $35/month for 3 months and a free 4K appleTV. Used it twice. Once to get my $160 appleTV for $105. The second to get another one and sell it for $120. Basically never used the service itself which was COMPLETELY USELESS. Most channels had GARBAGE and you could not skip the commercials (if you came back to the channel after surfing away, you got hit by the commercial again... ah, the beauty of streaming). So it is Netflix, Tubi or TPB for me and that's it. (But I have been considering subscription for Mubi... seems an interesting idea.)
You are completely wrong. The power of the CBP comes from the US Constitution and laws. So if it is lawless territory they have no power at all to seize your property.
Studying is not necessarily the learning of a particular skill, but the training/exercising of the mind. Like running on a treadmill is not useful in the sense of going somewhere but for the exercise itself. Perhaps you should consider you may not know all the facts before simply dismissing the opinion of someone who clearly has more experience and knowledge of teaching than you do.
There is a difference between being somewhat corrupt (as in getting juicy contracts to friends for a fee) and being ultimate assholes (as in "lets cut all health benefits for everybody" or "let's split children and their families"). REPUBLICANS ARE JUST EVIL. Yes, there is a major difference.
Lets cut the crap... republicans and conservatives are traitors to the country and people and are morally repugnant. Highest proportion of pedophiles? Republican, ultra-religious senators. Who passes laws most likely to harm our soldiers? Sure... republicans. Who else? Who reduces funding for mental health for veterans? Again. It is a pity that 40% of americans are completely retarded and keep voting for these crap.
In the end, it was too painful to deal with Samsung and Android. The system was as unstable as a Windows Vista machine. And got tired of waiting for an OS update. After ditching my iphone 3G back in the day for the freer Android, I find myself back with an iPhone 6s+. Supported with the latest OS how many years after the phone was released? Yes, quite a lot. And iOS is pretty stable. Not as flashy and not as configurable as Android, but good enough. Went from a phone that crashed every 2-3 days to a phone that has months of uptime.
Oh, gee... not looking at mountains 10 miles away? You know that 1m is as close to infinity as 10 miles?
Now for what is really important: any distance MUCH BIGGER (i.e., 10x) than the normal short distance focus length (25 cm) is for all practical purposes in optics a "focus at infinity".
This is really good news. TIcketmaster needs to die a painful death. And this will be good for bands too. I personally have never bought anything through ticketmaster or any scalper or anything crazy like that. $1-2 in "fees" is OK, anything more just to be the man-in-the-middle and produce NOTHING of value is not. So I just don't go to these shows. I assume I am not the only one, no? Sure, lots of suckers out there, but still... perhaps you are missing some 20% of possible attendees.
And at the same time my ipad and my macbook air constantly do wi-fi updates and all and never ever would drain 60% of the battery being sleep overnight. Neither does my iphone, or my android tablet or my android phone. Sorry, it is just MS cr4p. And yes, all drivers are up to date. Nice design (the kickstand is cool) but otherwise horrible machine.
Really. It is. New machine, battery lasts barely 3-4 hours doing SIMPLE stuff (windows has the worst power management possible). Even in SLEEP MODE it manages to deplete a battery from 100% to 40% overnight (did I mention that windows has the worst power management possible?). Touch interface and pen randomly stop working (requiring a reboot). To top it off, machine fell from 20 cm to a wooden floor and the screen shattered, costing hundreds of $ to repair. MS had always complained that windows was unreliable because they worked with so many brands and models, but they can't even get their own sh*t to work.
Truth is hard eh? You just use alt-facts (= lies) when it is convenient. Yes: GUN VIOLENCE is higher in the US than any other place not in an active civil war. Trumptard.
Why the fuck do you assume I am not? I can say whatever I want, and actually anybody (be american or not) can say anything they want about 'murica. Go to hell trumptard.
Almost every place in the world has seen gun violence go down in the last 20-30 years. Almost... the USA is the exception as usual (also exceptional in its ass-poor medical coverage and ass-idiot lack of common education as in "the earth is 6k years old, and evolution is 'just a theory', and we do not believe in global warming"). Not the land of the free but the LAND OF THE STUPID.
I was thinking of geting a DJI Phantom 4, no more. No more DJI products at all, for ever for me and anybody who cares to ask me for advise (as a local "guru" on tech. stuff many do).
Who is to say that because this method of education has been used for eons it is not longer valid? Why? In fact, I'd argue completely the opposite: it has survived numerous challenges. Maybe it is as good as it gets and the problem is that education reaches a broader audience that does not interact well with learning. Proof: Trump got elected even though it is going to crap on all the people who voted for him and that was widely known... But... when you have a population that is 50% stupid (being generous here) then you get what you get.

In the late 90's I started to use the "ppt projectors", but in the early days had a backup of printed transparencies...

Mod me down if you want, but it is the truth.

But... does it explode like the older Samsung phones? If not, it is rather uninteresting :)

Yet another republican plan... to bring us back to the middle ages as fast as possible. Next the FCC will say that smoke signals are good enough.
Why did you go through a 3rd party article? Shared ad revenue? Why not directly linking to ifixit in the first place????

It is the proof of the statement that the population is not as smart as we would like it to be. Call it smug if you want, it is still a fact.
Wonderful response. Mod up!

So... we use a quantum computer to simulate... a quantum computer? LOL
And we continue the dumbing down of america.
And this is why we used to have cable 20+ years ago, and we stopped. What's the point today? None.
