I have always been against ANY form of electronic voting, or mechanical voting.
Piece of paper, box where you can put an X for your vote. Hand count them.
Along with that, I would advocate that after you vote, you dip your index finger in that
purple ink, to signify that you have voted.
It's the old ways that help guarantee the election process is valid.
I GLADLY pay 9 bucks a month for photoshop/LR
All updates come automatically, never had a problem with it, and they usually come up
with a new version every year on the old stand alone model, and the update was more
expensive than the subscription.
Oh gee...a "republican" comes into office, and the clock is set closer. A liberal comes into office and its
set back.
This group of concerned scientist is nothing more than a bunch of PHD types who've never worked outside
the academic settings in private industry. They are book smart, common sense STUPID.
And if the government, would stop taxing business (because business don't "pay" taxes...they pass it along to consumers),
it would make it easier to do business in the USA. Get rid of some of the stupidity that caused companies to flee the USA
and maybe some will come back.
Who the heck wants to be "saddled" watching a show at a set time, or, waiting til next week or 2-3-4 weeks to watch
the next show? In the winter, when you can't get out and do anything, I'll veg out and watch a bunch of shows back to back.
In the 80's, the government forced the breakup of "the phone company", AT&T/The Bell System.
It's taken a little over 30 years to be put back together. Basically, you have AT&T, and Verizon.
What do you want to bet, that in a few years, after they've gobbled up what's left of any independent
services, that Verizon & AT&T will merge and we'll be back where we started...and will need to break
them up again. For the most part, it's a duopoly with AT&T and Verizon...for the most part.
Yep, I ditched "Ma Bell" too several years ago. Had their DSL back in the day, and at&t as my cellphone.
Dropped them both! Now, it's just a 50 buck charge for my smartphone, and the kicker is I get to use the
at&t towers with my MVNO. Their coverage is better where I live than anyone else.
Amazing, I remember "Ma Bell" being broken up in the early 80's and it's been a little over 30 years, and they
along with Verizon, have pretty much gobbled up everyone else.
Oh, if you were ever a fan of WKRP in Cincinnati, "Dr. Johnny Fever" can clue you in on how Ma Bell works.

Most airliners are pressurized for around what, 5,000 feet?
Could the atmospheric conditions on an aircraft, cause the battery
pack to change its shape enough to interfere with the insulation spacers
on a battery pack?
But the median college-educated millennial with student debt...
THAT my friends is the crux of the story! Millennials have been SUCKERED into thinking
they HAVE to have a college degree. Most of them, in a field with a POOR track record of
job advancement, or jobs at all! Suckers, that's what they are. And who profited from all of
this? "Big college" that's who! Apparently economics isn't something they teach you in
high school, or, perhaps they would figure out, that a four year teaching degree at a 4 year
college, that puts you in 40,50,60 thousand dollars in debt, for a job that pays 30,40 thousand
a year, ain't gonna cut it when you factor in your car(s), rent/mortgage, clothes, food and what not.
If it sounds too good to be true, it's probably fake.
How many 100+ GB thumb drives have been sold, so many 1TB HDD's that
were fake, but sold because of an insane CHEAP price?
Remember when back in the windows 3.1 days, when you could set the orientation of the mouse, and you'd
have that little race car thingy that would help you do it?
My favorite, besides the background screen grab one you mentioned, was when someone walked away, turn
the mouse 180 degrees, and then set the orientation. When they came back, the look on their face when
the mouse moved LEFT, then they moved it RIGHT, DOWN when they moved it UP was priceless!
You'd be CRAZY to take your computer to them.
You'd be crazy to take your computer to ANYONE, unless you can watch them.
ANYTHING on your hard drive will be checked...COUNT on it.
LOL, somewhere buried in the fine print no one reads it probably says you agree to the terms
of this contract, which we can change anytime we want, but in legal mumbo-jumbo.
You can bet, the only thing this will do is put our military in danger.
The purpose of the military is to kill people and break things. It's just
that simple. Quit screwing around with these stupid "green" things when
it comes to the military.
Old school...I'm in my 50's. Had one of the pulsar watches back in the 70's.
Those cheap non smart casio digital wave-ceptors are good enough for me.
I never understood the whole smart watch thing anyway. Too expensive for
what it does.
Screen protectors for your windshield, rear & side windows...
Hey, it worked for the crazy phone people sticking those things
on GLASS, so why wouldn't the same thing work for automobiles?
I've had smartphones since 2010, had 4 of them, never had a screen
protector...never had one with a scratch!
Don't know about anyone else, but, for my usage, I don't care how thick something is.
I don't want to be a "wallwart" always plugged into an outlet, just to use something.
My smartphone has a 4,000mAH battery, my laptop has an "ugly" bulge on the bottom
to support the larger battery. It's a tool, not a fashion accessory for me. My phone &
laptop are my life, during the workday. It's a free country, you want a stylish fashionable
phone/laptop, fine, get one, but I'll stick with the thicker ones that have a larger battery.
(and most times are more dependable/rugged than their thinner counterparts).

Fix the BSOD problem and leave this pseudo science of "man made" climate change to lDIOTS like Algore.
How ironic!....looking for MONEY(bit coin), by using the federal reserve bank computer server. Love it!

586 million dollar fine, versus how much Western Union made, turning a blind eye to this money laundering.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel if they named something after him. Other than the Star Trek Next Generation, WHAT has he done? NOTHING.

Which is why I convert my DVD's to ISO's and run them that way. DVD's are protected, and I can just run them from anywhere.

So much for those burger flippers wanting 15 bucks an hour ;)

Explains why you see a line of cars at taco bell, white castles, McDonald's around 1-3am most nights, especially Friday/Saturday.
Did that cost Apple?
