Actually the hard news part of FoxNews is fairly balanced. They try to present both sides, but sometimes one side or the other won't comment on the story. The shows most people call biased are commentary shows - in other words, opinions NOT news. So, yes, Hannity, O'Reilly, Megan Kelly, etc. do lean a bit to the right, but the newscasts are pretty much right down the middle.
My sense of smell is probably just shy of a bloodhound's, so food flavors are more varied for me than most I guess. For me smells have color and texture, too. People just don't understand when I say something smells brown and dusty.
People taste things differently, too. I hate cilantro, but others seem to like it. It tastes like copper or soap to me. I wonder how this new VR eating will cover variances like that.
I was thinking the same thing. And how does it actually work without some system adding a smell? Smell is a BIG part of tasting (and sex).
Try eating something like an apple while holding your nose closed. It doesn't "taste" the same. The texture may be there, but the great apple flavor is somewhat off.
I would be happy if they had a way of sorting the results. It would be nice to see the highest rated apps, or the most popular apps, for a particular search.
Democrats have always been the real racists, from the Civil War through the Civil Rights era all the way until today. Oh, they accuse the other side of it, but if you watch closely, they always accuse others of what they're really guilty of doing.
You would think so at first glance, but when you vote by absentee ballot nobody knows you're voting that way. If your boss tells you to vote a certain way or lose your job, you can tell him you vote in person and can't take a photo of your ballot.
Of course if you're selling your vote, absentee ballots make sense. But in that case, you're just an idiot who would probably make a poor choice on your own anyway.
I've voted absentee since the late 70s. If I didn't tell anybody I voted that way, nobody would ever know.
So you're the asshole holding up the line while you pay with a card!! Three cash transactions can be done in the time it takes for you to use your slow-ass method.
And I know a lot of people who carry cash and own Apple products. My guess is that most of them make considerably more money than you do.
Exactly!!! I live in Alabama and it's considered courteous to speak to total strangers. Good morning, good evening, thank you, you're welcome, and have a nice day are ALL spoken and heard every day here. Heck, we even hold doors open for strangers. We're a friendly bunch down here. Even rich people are friendly! It's nothing unusual to see a rich person sitting next to and conversing with a poor person at a football game. Y'all just need to learn some manners.
It's not nice to mess with another utility's stuff.
"permits third parties to move, alter, or rearrange components of Comcast's communications network attached to utility poles without Comcast's consent, authorization, or oversight, and with far less notice than is required by federal law and by an existing Comcast contract with Metro Nashville,"
That's just not done in the utility business. You simply don't "move, alter, or rearrange" another utility's lines. If you cut a line of any kind or interrupt service without calling first, you pay. Google needs to learn how to get along with everybody else. They have to play by the rules, too.
It's not just text editors. Graphics and photo editing programs are going the same way. The one I use the most, DXO, is getting harder to read. I'm using an older version of Photoshop because the new versions are low contrast.
I'm 63 and have fairly good near vision. I mostly need glasses for vision from a few feet to infinity. There's no problem with sites using a high contrast scheme, but those where the background is gray and the text is light gray are impossible to read. I usually hit CTRL-A to select all the text. It's not perfect, white text on dark blue, but it helps.
If you are serious about your website and have a desire to communicate, then make the damned thing readable. Stop being artsy.
Microsoft should seriously consider fixing Windows 10. It has the potential to be a great OS, but Microsoft's spyware and insistence on forced updates cripple it.
True, but if you talk to the brick&mortar stores or listen to the politicians (who want the tax revenue), you'd think that online sales are at 90% of all retail sales and climbing.
Amazon recently "reached an agreement" with my state. Starting next month Amazon will collect 8% sales tax on purchases made from my state. The problem is, my state sales tax is only 4%. Who gets the rest? My guess is Amazon, maybe with some kickback to the politicians who agreed to the deal. I have no proof; I just know how politicians are.
It looks like my days of ordering tons of stuff from Amazon are over. I may order a few items, IF the price +tax is better than other online retailers who still don't charge sales tax.
My thought has always been that sales tax should be collected at the point of purchase. If it were, online companies would be moving to states with lower sales taxes. That might be just the incentive that high tax states need to lower their damned taxes.
Vacations. Really? I know lots of people who drive more than 300 miles on their jobs. They're not commuting; they're working. For example, one of my friends reads meters once a month. The meters are radio read, but you still have to drive to within range. He drives 350 miles in that one day of reading. Stop to charge a battery? Hell, he doesn't even stop for lunch.
My job involves traveling long distances twice a week. I'm not commuting daily; I'm just going to where I'm going to be working during the week. If I have to be in another state 300 or 400 miles from home in a reasonable amount of time, I have to have a vehicle that can get me there. Sure, it would be nice to have an electric-powered pickup truck, but where do I find a motel in a small town in the middle of nowhere with charging capability?

She used an earpiece to listen to her handlers. It's not been proven, but it is fairly apparent to anyone who watches and listens to her answers.
Nobody watched it on television. Even "Bubble Guppies" beat it in the ratings. People just don't want to be preached to by a self-righteous hypocrite.
Where do you want to go today?
Uh, to Linux . . .
If you're still a Hillary supporter, it has to be through willful ignorance.
Hands over ears

Hey now, I use that word, too, and I'm a hick from Alabama!
Maybe it's just a matter of proper education?

It's being blamed on fewer sales of the iPhone, with iPhone sales down 5%.
I wonder how much these new hardware changes will affect sales of their computers.
It must be courage, because it's certainly not logic.
A person who lies even when the truth would do is an evil, immoral scoundrel.
You can never believe them no matter what they say.
Yeah, that's them.
Nah, they'll just rename it the Yugo and keep selling it.

At least the Galaxy Note 7 can function as a hand warmer.
