Cobal is a crazy nuanced language that is hardware specific.
Absolutely wrong. One of the language's biggest selling point when it was first created is the source code is completely hardware agnostic. To demonstrate this, the developers compiled the same program (from the same deck of punched cards) on three different brands of computer, ran the program with the same deck of input data and got the exact same results. The only change they had to make was one card in the Environment Section, and all that card did was specify the target machine.
I also use Waze, but I prefer a dashboard mount. You can use it to report accidents or stopped vehicles but most of the time that takes your attention off of your driving. My phone's been used for that once, and only because my passenger did the reporting while I kept my eyes on the road.
I grew up in Los Angeles, and don't remember learning that it was a key to trade back in Mexican days. It doesn't have a reliable local water supply, both San Diego and San Francisco have better natural harbors and it's not the obvious terminal for the rail roads.
I'll admit that I have my doubts, because it seems to have been postulated simply to make our observations match our predictions and because it appears to be defined as "something that has mass but can't be detected any other way." I wouldn't be at all surprised if somebody were to come up with a theory that explains the data without invoking Dark Matter and managed to prove it by observation. Still, if this does turn out to be Dark Matter, it would satisfy my objections. It's potentially a major step forward, and I will be very interested to see what comes of it.
From TFA, "...researchers were able to identify distortions of distant galaxies as they are influenced by a large, unseen mass, such as dark matter." That means that what they have are images that appear to imply the existence of Dark Matter, and are hard to explain any other way, not that the images actually show us Dark Matter. That doesn't mean that it doesn't demonstrate that Dark Matter exists, it's just that the images aren't as cut and dried as the article's headline implied. It also means that there's still wiggle room for those who are certain that it doesn't exist. Still, it's a great step in the right direction.
I don't think the OP was thinking of the working poor. "no money, lots of time" looks more like a description of somebody with no job, no job skills, little if any work history.
It's quite sad that an obsolete OS from 20 years ago can still challenge a modern systemd/GNOME-3/Linux installation.
The problem here is that you're using that bloated resource-hog of a DE, Gnome3. Get rid of it and try something lightweight, such as Xfce, and you'll be surprised how much better things are.
YMMV, but here in the US that's gonna run $35-40, much more than "a cup of coffee and a waffle".
Before you decide how cost effective this is, you have to consider how many passengers there are on the average trip. If the answer is 100, then the fuel cost per passenger is only $.35 or so, much less than it would be if they all had to drive cars over a bridge, especially when you factor in the fact that the ferry company's buying their fuel at wholesale rates, not retail. And, if you take a look at how full the ferry's are during morning and evening commute, they become even more cost effective.
December 25th is only depressing for one of two reasons. Either you've lost touch with your family or you've bought in to the marketing hype and think that there's something wrong with you if you're not having a merry Chri$tma$.
Why does TFS go out of its way to tell us that Syed Nawaz is 40, while not mentioning how old Jayavel Murugan is. Is there something significant about being 40 that I'm missing?
But as I understand it, VA benefits are applied to all veterans -- which generally requires you to go to a VA hospital for treatment; and there are other restrictions and constant eligibility reviews.
For the most part, you're right. If your income is low enough, there's no copay. If you have a service-connected disability, any treatments, medications or equipment needed to treat that condition are free, regardless of your income. (My hearing loss is 0%, but my hearing aids and batteries are provided at no charge.) And, I have a card in my wallet that confirms my right to go to an outside practitioner and charge the VA if the distance to the nearest facility is too large or the wait time for an appointment is too long. I've not needed it yet, but it's good to know I have it. Among other things, I'm now diabetic. I've woken up in four different ERs in the fifteen years since I was diagnosed, all because of low blood sugar, and all I've ever had to do is give them my VA info, and the bill's been covered, 100% Yes, there are problems at some VA facilities but I've never run across them, nor have any of my friends. And, with that new card that I mentioned above, there should be far fewer cases as time goes on, which is exactly what it's for.
In Los Angeles, public transit is a complete joke.
One of the reasons is that it's set up strictly to get people from the suburbs to Downtown and back. As an example, there's no practical way to go from the San Fernando Valley to the San Gabriel Valley by bus without going through Central Los Angeles.
I don't know about you, but I'd be very reluctant to have one of those phones in my hand when the thermite went off; that stuff is hot! Maybe it would be better to embed a coil of wire in the memory's casing and have the self destruct short the battery through it, both EMPing the memory and draining the phone's power. That way, they'll have to recharge the phone before they find out that the evidence is gone while you're making complaints about them holding you without good reason and demanding to see your lawyer. Then, when it turns out that your phone's been trashed, it's going to be that much harder for them to keep you.
That's because most Slashdotters are either too young to remember Reagan, or not old enough to have understood what he was doing. Not only did he spend four years keeping as many campaign promises as he could, he ran for re-election on his record and earned another four years.

In the past, cities tended to grow at strategic locations, or where it is relatively easy (read: cheap) to support a city.
If that's so, how do you explain Los Angeles?

Just because I don't fall for the hype doesn't mean that those who do can't or won't enjoy the day.
I would consider that to be losing touch with your family emotionally if not physically, but I see your point.
Pornhub apparently had a popup...
Considering the site's name, I'll just bet it did!

I take it, then, you don't remember the pink ponies.
Tell that to the AGW crowd and watch them go into a frenzy.
Who's browser history would I want to see up for sale? Adam McElhaney's, of course.

They're nowhere near the end. There's at least twenty more letters if you go On Beyond Zebra!

I've never yet seen an OS where you can't turn autorun off. Once you've done that, why do you need this?

Better yet, if you really need to take your laptop, put anything sensitive on a flash drive and pack it in your checked luggage.

Reformat your hard drive and install Linux. It's the only way to be sure unless you're able to nuke Redmond from orbit.
