Hey, my CMV Negative brother from another mother! I've been doing the same, donating whole blood every 8 weeks, or red cells every 16 weeks, for the same reasons. Almost at the 12 gallon mark with the San Diego Blood Bank. One time I asked them what the difference was between them and the Red Cross, and the person just replied with, "We're better." I think it's just that they supply local hospitals first, then share with others. Doesn't matter, as long as you are donating to help save lives. Do it for the donut.
My same thought, I change the battery in my Note 4 all the time, and when I replace it I will still want that capability. I don't use the S-Pen very much, so I won't miss it if I change manufacturers. It may sound useless to many people, but I still miss having a working FM radio, like in the HTC One series. Although it may be my carrier, Verizon, because I heard the radio does work on the Note 4 on Sprint.
Before cell phones criminals didn't have hand held computers capable of unbreakable encryption. Court order with a simple wire tap could reveal a lot, or eaves dropping on cell phones with a spectrum analyzer, which doesn't work any more. I suppose they need to go back to planting undercover agents who can intercept the communications first hand, if they don't get discovered doing it. I hope the next round of government in the states doesn't screw this up.
It couldn't have been hard to get rid of money in the early 1970's. He could have easily spent it before they knew what city he was in. So many ways he could convert it.
They started the prosecution against "John Doe," which was news to me when I watched the shows on the History Channel. They can match up the real person later and still prosecute him. I was hoping that the FBI would drop the case against John Doe, so that maybe the real culprit would come forward. One of the crime reporters thinks it was Rackstraw, now living in San Diego.

I've been annoyed by the lack of FM radio on my phone for years now. My Samsung Omnia and Motorola Droid X on Verizon had the basic FM radio (not HD), but my Samsung Note 2 and Note 4 on Verizon do not have a working FM radio. The same phone on Sprint has the radio, and they even advertise it with the NextRadio app. I've seen an HTC M8 with a working FM radio on Verizon. I could have switched to the M8, or maybe it's time to try Sprint, since I had a recent bad sales experience with Verizon.
I've asked about this in forums, and one explanation was that the carrier and manufacturer must pay licensing and spectrum testing fees to the FCC. Some carriers and some manufacturers won't pay the additional cost for the FM radio testing. Another explanation is that HTC left the hooks intact, but removed the radio app, and Samsung actually removed the hooks to the FM radio on Verizon phones, but not in Sprint phones. Maybe it was at the request of Verizon, to force users into streaming radio. Customer service doesn't seem to know anything about this, some don't even know the difference between FM radio and streaming.
I've heard that HD is proprietary and manufacturers don't want to pay licensing. It would be nice to have some kind of digital broadcast available, like they have in Norway. Plain old FM radio at least.
Another argument is that it's not worth the effort since radio listeners are declining. They could leave the FM tuner working and let the owner decide to use it or not. If you don't like it, don't listen. I listen quite a bit, by carrying around a small Insignia HD. A few years ago I won so much stuff on the radio that they sent me a W-2 form, which included $2,404 in cash prizes.
For those not coming from wealthy families, or not having another means of paying for college, there is also the military option of a 4 year gap (or 6 for technical fields in the USA). Choose from land, sea, or air, go places, learn things, and have some college money when done. If you can, take courses using their tuition assistance and save that G.I. Bill for later. If you like it, stay for 20 and start collecting retirement before you turn 40. Not for everyone, but an option for those who can do it.
but most of whom are just lazy and happy to live off government cheese.
Have you ever lived of "government cheese" ? It's not much, you often have to be very very creative to survive on it. You don't always get it neither: you're not handicapped enough, you have inherited 1/16 of family property (which you can't sell) or have a significant other with a high paying fulltime job. And if you do finally manage to get it, it binds you to another exhausting set of rules and restrictions. For me it was eventually just easier to get a job than to plough through all the bureaucracy and this is in socialist paradise (Belgium). But there are people out there who are discarded by the social system and have to "mooch" of their relatives because their papers don't have the right stamps or they can't make heads or tails of this always-changing process.
Plus, if I remember correctly, that stuff is really hard to melt.

Sounds like cell phone jammers might be a good place to start, maybe set them up in key places and have some kind of remote control, to turn them on all at once. Don't stop with cell phones, start jamming every kind of communications you can, then move on to fiber backbones with some wire cutters, and there's probably a way to down remote, unmonitored power lines with little effort.
I know solar is good, but as more people get it, people without it will be paying higher prices for electricity, so the energy companies can keep up their revenue.
It's similar to conserving water during a drought. The water company still needs an operational budget, so the more you conserve, the more they will charge to operate at the same level.
Yes, I do most of my robotic software work on a simulator, first over two serial ports using a null modem cable, where both programs run on the same machine. Later I do it across two machines (VM and/or physical), and finally I test on a controller from the robot, which is a small piece of the entire hardware setup. You may need to build your own simulator, but it does save lots of time.
Yeah, in Microsoft shops C# will be the top, with PowerShell for quick scripting needs, being able to pipe.Net objects and work nicely with SharePoint, Exchange, and SQL Server. I'll be looking into Python/Jython and possibly some Rhino/JavaScript to work with a J2EE based system.
Seems like an excellent point, but I haven't had the hands-on opportunity to install any of the other solutions, only heard stories. I was thinking the same thing, but wasn't quite sure how to say it, or wasn't brave enough.

Yes, tilt is how I deal with it. Tilt one way to reduce reflections, tilt another to see the shoulder surfer behind you.

Zuck should ask Sean to call it, "The Screening Room." That would be his contribution to the service.
