  1. Memory? on Would You Buy the iPhone 8 If It Cost $1,200? (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    I had an iPhone 4S. A 16GB device. The memory on that thing filled up so quickly with Podcasts and Music etc. It was a hassle.

    Then I upgraded to an LG G4 which has a MicroSD card slot. Space was suddenly not an issue. I've even upgraded the memory card once since getting the phone because space became tight again. I can take that same memory card over to my next phone when I upgrade that.

    Until Apple starts offering an expandable memory option in their phones, I'm not going back.

    Simples!

  2. Will no one think of the CEOs? on As Prison Population Sinks, Jails Are a Steal · · Score: 1

    Who will think of the poor CEOs of the private prisons? How will they possibly make the mortgage repayments on the third house or their yacht in the Bahamas?

  3. Re:Local testing works? on States That Raised Minimum Wage See No Slow-Down In Job Growth · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why not got one step further - the fines imposed on the employer could be set at the difference between the actual wage earned and the (minimum wage + $1/hour). The $1/hour/employee goes to the state bringing the prosecution to pay for the prosecution, the rest going to the employee. Punishment to fit the crime and it doesn't cost the tax payers to bring the prosecution.

    Don't like it? Don't employee illegal immigrants, and pay your employees at least the minimum wage.

    Try telling that to the politicians trying to defund the EPA. None of them "get it". Or at least they are paid not to "get it"

    I personally don't because I don't use cash unless I have to. And then only coins.

    I do see people use cash at the self checkout, and if a client has paid me in cash I tend to spend it by buying at the grocery store.

    That's ok - he's an executive director. I bet he gets a golden fuck off. It's like a golden parachute except ... well there's no except. He gets paid to fuck off. Unlike any other sector of the work force. He gets paid to be a cunt to people.

    No, the fact she is wearing a skirt means she not nude or partially nude. The fact she might or might not be wearing panties is not relevant.

    She is expecting privacy - or she wouldn't be wearing a skirt.

    So what's your explanation for the falling numbers of people who are willing to pay for the "theater experience"?

    Home TV screens being bigger mainly.

    Surely that would encourage lower prices in the cinemas? Currently they are far too expensive, especially if you're enough of a moron to pay their ridiculous concession prices.
