So you mean the Internet has reacted in such a way that has blown his ordeal out of proportion and is now affecting his life far beyond what it should have because a bunch of assholes are over reacting...
I'm pretty sure thats exactly what started this whole mess...
Drop the damn subject and let the kid be, its over. It was a shitty mess and stupid on all those assholes at the school/police involved... but within 6 months of being at a new school, without the Internet, his life would have been normal, even if that school was just on the other side of town. I'm not saying that it makes any of what happened to him OK... but it would have been better for his life as a whole if thats what would have happened. 100% the publicity has done nothing actually useful for him other than turn him into a political puppet for the gain of someone else.
Netflix can deal with pretty much any device on the planet, including any random android device... like my totally unsupported Raspberry Pi and a few third party clients... but comcast can't?
And just for reference, a third party displaying comcast content... is for paying comcast customers... you'd still need a comcast account... and if you want to claim 'but pirates'... guess what... you can still pirate content now, even in an all digital environment, all you need is the right guy to do it, straight off of combusts network.
The problem with your post is exactly why dark matter exists and you're 100% wrong.
You don't know SHIT of what you said in your post, those are some theories about some things we've never actually observed directly and some numbers some people made up because they fit the problem they were trying to solve.
If you go bother to re-read the summary (and continue doing so until you get it)... you'll see the scientist in question making the same ignorant mistakes you are.
You don't 'KNOW' anything, stop saying you do and you'll be a lot further along the science path than you are now.
All theories about astrophysics are WRONG, the only question is to what degree, so before you rattle off some bullshit about 90% of the mass being missing, go back to the beginning of these sentence and stop trying to tell me what you 'know' and start talking about science where you have evidence to prove something. Lack of evidence doesn't prove anything other than you have an incomplete picture.
It just goes to show, depending on who builds it, something may be an enlightened amateur rocket or a dangerous enemy weapon.
I realize you're trying to say that with sarcasm, but its very true about a great many things, from guns and kitchen knives to cars to nuclear materials.
Yea, it sounds like the GP doesn't actually drive a car.
The difficulty in seeing people moving into the road in low light conditions can be pretty much impossible even when everyone is doing the right thing, throw in someone just wearing dark cloths and you run over them before you know what you saw in your headlights if you've got any speed at all.
It amazes me that teenagers survive at all. As drivers or pedestrians. I have no idea how I did.
Because 'charging a fee' doesn't solve the problem, it just makes them more money.
Its not like they aren't charging monthly for th equipment anyway are they?
The new equipment costs more, the charge... partially covers the difference doesn't it...
This isn't about support, no one with that old device needs support otherwise they would have complained enough and gotten suggested a new one long long ago. These people just sit there and the device works.
The argument about IPv6 mentioned else where is bunk as well. They can't provide any acceptable level of service with anything more than NAT to IPv6, which means each user WILL end up behind their own local NAT which has a public IP unique to their equipment for many years to come, so pretending this is a address space issue is bullshit as well.
They may steal ideas from others, but they never copy.
And by that I mean that if Apple makes it, they've used it, refined it, used it some more, refined it some more and basically gotten it out of the prototype stage before turning it over to the public.
Pretty much everyone else sells prototypes they couldn't bother testing properly, hardware or software.
But go on continuing to think what Apple does is make copies of someone elses shitty product and you'll continue to be second best just like those other shitty products.
If the 'artists' had a real 'problem' with this, they wouldn't have been on Tidal either.
Stop pretending that any of these people are artists. They are in business to make money, thats all they do. The music, 9 times out of 10, isn't theirs. Someone else writes the lyrics, someone else makes the beats and music, someone else mixes it and fixes their shitty voice with auto-tune.
In reality, you could go do what Kanye West does if you just got a bitchier attitude and happened to run into someone who needed to create a new pop star to replace the last one they created.
It means that Facebook saw no value in even trying to port it to Android.
If you can't fathom why that says more about Android than anything else, there won't be anyone who can explain it to you, but I'll try.
Android users offer no legitimate value. Apple users DO. When you're a business trying to make money in a semi-legitimate way, that makes Apple FAR FAR more appealing than Android. If your intent is to steal information and sell the Android user as your product to someone else, then Android makes FAR more sense than building for iOS.
What I found interesting that is hinted at in the TFA (and had not thought about) was the creation/availability of niches for surviving species to take over and evolve into.
Really? Cause these things were pointed out when doing Earth science in elementary school IN FLORIDA 30 years ago. So basically, one of the worst education systems in the US taught me this very thing 30 years ago... That exact point was what we were told led to humans being the dominant species.
For fucks sake it was even in Jurassic Park (the movie and book).
But did you need the things that your purchased based on the ads, or did you do what most people do, see a shiney deal for things that didn't actually need, and bout it case 'OMG SALE!'?
Regardless of what you might do, most people do the OMG SALE!!! impulse by, so just because they don't 'get bothered' by it, doesn't mean it doesn't still have a very large detrimental affect on them.
There are two ways I do things: Free with ads OR paid with NO ADS EVER.
You don't get to sell me something and then use that as an vehicle to sell me more useless crap and date mine my habits to ensure it suggests things at the right time and the right type to get me to impulse by it.
The sad part is that you're happy about being manipulated.
Amazon is a shitty company in every way. Using Amazon is essentially cutting off your own nose just to spite your face.
Congratulations, you've volunteered to be their slave and you're happy about it.
His 'hand held device' drawings call out a 3.5" floppy drive being only a small portion of its length.
While the drawings may 'look' like it because they're so poorly done, its no where near they same size. That would be a very large laptop by todays standards.
Except this is San Francisco... where they worked with AirBNB to make the very law that AirBNB is whining about.
AirBNB LOBBIED FOR THE LAW THAT IS BEING USED AGAINST THEM.
Fuck AirBNB and Uber and all the other bullshit assholes who think that they can get around the rules because they run a website, and fuck people like you who are too stupid to realize whats happening.
your backup server tells you that you haven't backed, not each individual client.
Hardware tests... Excellent way to break hardware by overheating a laptop in someone's backpack in their car and destroy it... Thanks for that Lenovo!
You know when your battery doesn't last long enough... Oh... And Windows is capable of telling you itself without shitty half added spyware.
It's easy to mock stupid software, and your ignorance about the issue doesn't make it less of an issue.
The way to tell if your IT department is competent is by seeing if they did a clean install or left the vendor crapware. If you get a machine from it with the built in crapware then you effectively don't have an IT departmenT
The fact that you got rated so high shows just how slashdot has changed. A bunch of idiots without a clue now who think a support contract is going to cover your ass. It's easy to mock people who don't have any experience or ability in an area yet continue to talk out their ass and pretend they do.

I watch Netflix religiously, surely that is cause for an exemption if the Bible gets one.
At what distance from the observer? I.E. You don't understand 'arc' seconds.
A milli-arc-second is an angular measurement. So the distance that covers depends entirely on the distance FROM the observer.
1 milli-arc-second at 1 AU is pretty small.
1 milli-arc-second at the distance of Andromeda is a massive distance.

FFS would you stop linking to ad filled link farms that just copy the first paragraph of someone elses article and just link to the damn article

Cheap plastic phones feel cheap. They don't have to.
The Moto X for example feels comfortable and not 'cheap' feeling, though it doesn't feel the same as something like an iPhone

This is nothing more than a money grab.
As a primary communications device
You've already failed if your cell is your primary communications device.
No they don't.
They may steal ideas from others, but they never copy.

I turn 40 on my next birthday and I can't even remember what grade of elementary school we were taught this ...
There is nothing here that I didn't already know and I don't actually care about that particular extinction event.
Good use of the money guys! This is why you don't get grants.
Fucking unconsenting women without a condom while they sleep?
You do realize there isn't an 'opt out' unless your browser stops sending them so much information, right?
Regardless of what you click on their web page, they get the data about your activities.
But did you need the things that your purchased based on the ads, or did you do what most people do, see a shiney deal for things that didn't actually need, and bout it case 'OMG SALE!'?

No, a star is just that, a star.
A sun has planets orbiting
Sol is our sun.
Yes, I do.
You stated it in your comment.
DO YOU understand how they work, cause you clearly don't since you're trying to make a snarky comment.
ITS THEORETICAL. THERES YOUR SIGN.
