    My landline was pretty cheap. Feature for feature, phone bills definitely got cheaper from 1980 to 2018.

    Real Men shave with dull hatchets and take pictures with one lens. Everything else is for pussies and people with pussies.

  6. Re:A lot of broadcast TV is dreck... on When Did TV Watching Peak? (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Christians are the majority, split roughly equally into conservative, moderate, and liberal. That's three majorities, right there.

    That's so, so fundamentally wrong.

    There's only one majority in any given population grouping (in this case, "cultural/religious").

  8. Re:A lot of broadcast TV is dreck... on When Did TV Watching Peak? (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 0

    Since Christian conservatives are a majority in this country

    That's a dubious assertion, given that Hillary got so many more votes than Trump.

    will this popping bubble take down profitable tech companies with it?

  10. Mikrotik patched this vulnerability (which is only a problem when remote management is enabled) 14 months ago.

    Also, they continuously update their firmware, and that firmware is trivially easy to update.

  11. Then how do so many people afford to move to Las Vegas every year?

  12. That's an unanswerable question. (Now that my kids are adults, I can more easily move than when 5 years ago. And fewer women are having children, they are having them later, and men aren't marrying.)

  13. So where are the jobs that these people should migrate to?

    Your question presumes that just because I don't know (I'm not in the job market, so haven't been looking...) and you don't know that there must not be any.

  14. All the same is true for people moving to Las Vegas.

  15. so that people could pursue a career making things in cities in Chinese factory labor-camps.

    FTFY

  16. Moving would be possible for some, but not for all. Many will be settled there. Moving involves a lot of risk and expense, much like education.

    The population of Las Vegas isn't growing by leaps and bounds because of the intrinsic birth rate.

    People migrate to Las Vegas... they can migrate from Las Vegas.

  17. Not the ones who live in Las Vegas captain dumbfuck

    Shockingly, you aren't shackled to your address in Capitalist America. Migrating to where the jobs are is how people wind up in Las Vegas, Captain Dumbfuck.

    I'm fine with Google collecting data to determine what ads to show me as long as it keeps that data secure and doesn't share it with anyone else.

    And you don't have anything to hide from the police, either...

    Here's hoping the first drone gets hacked, and is re-targeted... at you.
