The replacement, Zoom Page WE, doesn't work worth a damn. I ran Firefox 57 until I couldn't stand it and reverted back to 56.
All Zoom Page WE 7.1 does is make the page taller by increasing the font size, and the "fit to width" doesn't fit to width at all - still too much white space.
Walmart's website is one big clusterfuck of design. They need to learn from other sites how to do it. Lowe's online site is a great example. Not only can I tell if an item is available at my local store, they actually give me a map of the local store and tell me exactly where to find what I'm looking for. And every time I go to the site it knows which local store I live near.
I think the reason Walmart can't do that is because they're constantly moving stuff around in their stores. In fact, if it's been a few weeks since my last visit, I have trouble finding what I knew was there before.
Shopping at walmart.com is a headache. Searching for an item is just about impossible. Once you find it you still don't know if it's available locally or online because the site forgets where you're shopping!
At the time of the Revolution, both had about the same accent. We didn't change, the British did. Look it up. It's true. Blame it on the "common" people becoming wealthy.
And can we PLEASE use collective nouns as singular? Not: The team are playing better now. Rather: The team is playing better now.
You're 100% right. We had chickens roaming free in the yard back in the 1950s and 1960s. We fed them a little bit of chicken feed, but they mostly ate whatever they could find. The chicken tasted better AND the eggs tasted better.
My grandmother could kill a chicken, pluck it, gut it, cut it up, and fry it before you could ask what's for dinner. There's no telling how many chickens she killed and cooked in her 89 years.
Oh, and vegetables have definitely changed in flavor since then. Today's commercially raised veggies don't get all the nutrients and micronutients they used to get. "If it ain't in the soil in a form the plant can use, it ain't gonna be in the food you eat."
If you honestly can't afford $99/year, then you shouldn't even be online. You should take your very small income and spend it on food and clothing. Give me a break!
How about a service running on the phone that keeps up with when the phone is unlocked? If it hasn't been unlocked within a certain amount of time, say one month or one year or whatever, it assumes the owner no longer uses the phone and it automatically unlocks. All the authorities would have to do is keep it charged until then.
Of course, law enforcement could always arrest somebody and keep them in jail for that period of time, but if that happens, our problems with this society are far worse than loss of privacy.
It's even harder than you're portraying. Yes, there are 435 Congressional Districts, but each of those districts has multiple voting precincts. For example, I vote in precinct 4110 in my district. It's almost impossible to add extra ballots in so many voting places.
We vote using a paper ballot that is then fed into a machine that reads the ballot so there can be a running total. The paper ballots are there to compare the machine total to the paper total.
When the smartest, most intelligent people in the world are warning us about AI, I think maybe we should perhaps listen to them.
Yes, the world has real problems. I think with a little more thought and effort on the part of humans, most of those problems could be solved. We don't need AI for such things. Let it help in minor ways.
Have all your packages delivered to a UPS store. Most Americans live within a few miles of one. For those who don't, they probably don't have to worry as much about theft as the rest of us.
I have my deliveries left in an unlocked car in the driveway. The car doesn't run, so I'm not worried about anybody stealing it. Sure, somebody could just take the packages out of the car, but in ten years of doing this nobody has taken one yet. It's much better than just leaving packages on the front porch where anybody driving by can see them.
For packages that need a signature the UPS store gets them and signs for them. Then I can pick them up whenever I get back to town.
In a country where you can keep your "children" on your health insurance until they're 25, I have to ask if we're talking about young children or all children. There are seemingly millions of "children" over the age of 18 who are scared of their own shadow. Everything startles, offends, and scares them. They're incapable of handling any stressful situations . . . . like cooking their own meals, changing a flat tire, encountering opinions that are opposite from their own, etc.. I wonder who ties their shoes before they leave the house.
Yes, I'm being a little bit humorous at the expense of the younger generation. But some of the problems we see with them probably started when they were young children with helicopter parents. Hey, everybody gets a trophy!!
Nobody can "give" you self-esteem. That's why it's called SELF-esteem. Get a few little bumps and bruises to your body and ego while you're young, and you can handle the much larger ones when you grow up.
Most of what amateurs do with audio editors can be done with Audacity. If they need more, they'll upgrade to something better. Only the user can determine what they need or don't need.
If you're a professional, you're already using software that's far better than Audacity or Goldwav.
Doctored videos? LOL! Not in your dreams. Try "edited" videos, just like everybody in the news business does. Oh, and he also releases the full, unedited videos just for doubters like you.
They're just like the audiophiles who insist on listening to music on their phones and expecting it to sound like their high-dollar setup at home. Or the ones who insist on taking photos with their phones and expecting them to look like ones taken with a professional-quality DSLR.
It's a phone, people, not a "do-everything-the-greatest" device.
Their problem is that they know of only four fundamental forces. When they finally discover the fifth, they'll smack themselves on the forehead and wonder why it took them so long.
Being told by a corporation what is good or bad is what's really bad. Humans will never agree about the "goodness" or "badness" of anything. Having AI do it doesn't make it any better.

The real fraud occurs in absentee voting.
I have a few of their mice and keyboards, and they're pretty good devices. I don't own one of their remotes.
Judging from this fiasco, I probably won't be buying ANY of their products in the future, even if one functions perfectly without the net.

I thought he was talking about Corel's Paint Shop Pro.
I suspect somebody at Facebook is going to have a massive porn collection.

What kind of evidence do you need?!?
And after those US companies clear cut a tract of land they immediately replant it so that in 15 - 20 years they can clear cut it again.
I've planted hundreds of thousands of trees. How many have you planted?

Like Republicans being the ones who generate things like jobs/wealth and Democrats historically being the ones who discriminate (check your history).
You have them reversed.
Abduct her? I thought she was one of them. Maybe they're just coming back to pick her up after her failed mission to destroy the Earth. :)
I was thinking Microsoft Napkin, so you'd use it at the table.
