Maybe if their prices were more in line with REALITY some people would consider it, but
when you figure 80% of the channels, NO ONE WATCHES, and the other 20% have some
lame shows, and you can get a lot of them online, why bother?
Can you imagine the amount of copper theft, if thieves knew that a lot of those
old copper trunk lines have for the most part been abandoned? Yeah, some old
alarm systems and a few older landline phones, but most POTS phones are long
gone, leaving most of the copper just hanging there. I know one of the trunk lines
in my town is abandoned, because at&t doesn't even bother pumping the liquid
nitrogen into the line to dry out the moisture like they use to. They kept a tank on
that line for over 15 years but last year they took it off, a few years after they
buried fiber in the same footprint under the ground.
Considering the housing prices in those areas, cost of living is pretty high.
Unless they double, quadruple up, is that really a "lot" of money?
I live out here in the midwest, where 96K would get you a huge 3,000 sq ft
house in a pretty good neighborhood, couple cars, and money left over.
Til their "people" censor & take down a video they deem not appropriate.
They will holler & complain of (insert your favorite anti-something phrase)
and it will be bad PR for Fakebook.
Best thing would be to SHUT DOWN live video, and put a self censored
minimum 30 minute delay. To the person posting the video, they are "live"
but it buffers through the Fakebook monitors, and goes through once they
give it the good housekeeping seal of approval.
A lot of live TV & Radio shows have several seconds delay, why not this?
Regardless of device...when you have a rabid fan base, most will give a positive
spin on a device, rather than knock it. They do that to justify the stupid high prices
for "flagship" devices these days.
Back in the late 80's, early 90's, Apple pretty much gave away computers to public schools.
Getting kids use to the Apple ecosystem. The difference is, where Apple has computers,
ipads, ipods, phones, watches...MS has...a computer operating system...that's it. No phones,
not much of a pad, no real smart watches.
Private companies took the risk to build up the web, internet lines etc.
Government has no business telling them how to run it.
If you don't like your service/provider, change it.
End of discussion!
If the USA would get rid of the 16th amendment, implement a "fair or flat" tax
https://fairtax.org/index
a LOT of that money would find itself coming BACK into the USA, along with
a ton of money from overseas corporations, since we'd be a tax haven for a lot
of people & businesses.
But, that would mean taking away the power congress & the senate have...the
power to tax & keep people down.
For living so long!
On a side note, that's part of the problem with the American "social security" accounts. The so called retirement
is age 65, which SHOULD be extended to the average lifespan age of 75. Social security benefits were intended
to last a few years at most after retirement. The average lifespan when it started was 65, so people didn't live but
a few years past that. Heck, both of my parents are in moderately good health in their mid 80's. Granted, they
saved for retirement long before they retired, but, many do not, and social security will NOT cover people for 10-20
or more years, especially when you consider the government stole the money from peoples social security accounts
decades ago.
If that IS going on, just use something like random user agent plug in, that "tells" the site it's a different
OS all the time. Go to the site, check something, then hit the random user agent to tell it that you are
a different browser and OS, and see if it changes.
Non "standard" memory won't make me switch from my SSD back to a mechanical one.
I'm not into speed like I was in the late 80's through late 90's.
With the SSD, photoshop boots in about 10 seconds, fast enough for me.
Been using straight talk for around 4 years. Never had an issue. I use the "at&t" tower frequencies, since at&t has
better coverage in my area. 5GB data, which I never go over, unlimited talk/text, just under $50.00/month.
Are like the dog in that movie...talk to him, sees a squirrel and goes after that.
most are just after the next big thing. They are chasing things, instead of building a career.
It's NOT the governments business to control how businesses work.
THAT is up to the business. If they overwork their employees. they won't be
able to fill the jobs.
Rivers have been changing course for centuries. Glaciers melt, glaciers form.
Blaming it on man, just allows for the news media to hype it up, and for the less informed
to be hoodwinked into believing it.
A lot of things will be different in the future...
On a more serious note, I won't be here in 2075, unless they figure out how to keep a 130 year old person alive.
Personally, I don't want to live that long.
I see the world (if they don't blow themselves up), being dominated by a super muslim majority simply because the
rest of the worlds birth rate is not enough to sustain their populations. ALL ethnic groups except for the super breeding
muslims, are in a negative rate. With the so called refugees being spread all over the non muslim world, they will eventually
be the majority populations globally.
LEARN TO BE AN ADULT!
Accept the responsibilities that come with being an adult.
People go to work from 8-5, 9-5 in most of the industrialized world (save for the few 2nd-3rd shift).
These snowflakes need to GROW UP!
Keep it up...and you'll push more and more people to either keep their current PC's, or switch to alternative processors
and computers.
MS wants ALL PC's running windows 10...once they figure they can't push any further, they will start their subscription service.

Can't do WITHOUT one penny less, than last year.

And I thought driving past section 8 housing was bad. This will be MUCH WORSE!

Say something bad about government, and they will come after you. YOU WILL COMPLY..."or else".

How many times will the trigger be stored, transmitted and then your insurance goes up. Don't think it can't happen.
The U.S. has been experimenting with the ABL for years. Any chance they had this thing flying anywhere near the Korean area?
