...or they may be using an older TiVo which didn't have wireless or convenient Ethernet, but did have a nearby phone jack. There are still working TiVo Series 2 boxes and Series 3 didn't come with Wifi. Although either can be added at a price, why, if dial-up was working?
And, of course, broadband is not a requirement. Windows connection sharing still works, and there are other solutions for sharing a dial-up connection. Or bring up a cellphone hotspot and manually force a TiVo connection, it really only needs to happen every week or so.
"It's time we also start looking at greedy colleges who continue to jack up tuition."
They're just doing what comes naturally - trying to maximize profit by rent seeking. Blame the wide availability of grants and subsidized loans, which is well intentioned, but produces higher tuition as an unintended consequence.
Whoosh. You know exactly what word was being referenced.
Although, I agree with much of the rest. Thing is, with all the intolerance being exhibited these days, especially from those who claim to be "liberal", not only can't you use that word, but you can't even say it when speaking about it. Witness: Papa John, who got kicked out of his own company, not for using the word but for simply quoting someone as an example of what's not acceptable. Just as with other crude, vulgar, profane, and pejorative words, it shouldn't be used in normal, everyday speech within a civilized society. Or maybe it should be, just as "gay" used to be a slur, but its use was eventually embraced, which took its power to offend away (although it also pretty much took a well known and useful meaning from the word).
Because you're wrong. You're referring to carrier ("SIM") locking. On Android phones, there's also bootloader locking, which prevents installation of custom firmware.That's what the article is referring to.
Rooting is a different thing. Custom firmware isn't necessarily rooted.
Hey, as long as they're arguing for "market forces," let them eat their cake. If they don't want to be regulated like service neutral common carriers, local governments and private land owners can charge them up the wazoo for "right of way" access. And, they'll have to negotiate with probably hundreds of thousands of entities for that access.
Non sequitur. It's the slowest link which counts, not the fastest. The discussion is about Verizon cellular. For current LTE, that's way under 100 Gbps, closer to 20 Mbps in practice. As I said, you're full of bullshit and are simply making things up. In addition, the point went completely over your head - "unlimited" means no artificial limits. Slow speed due to bad propagation, multiple users sharing bandwidth, etc. doesn't count. It's when bandwidth is available, but deliberately constrained by the provider, as in this case, where it can't be legitimately said to be "unlimited." Are you really as stupid as you act, or just doing a bad job of trolling?
Oh, and backbone links can go much faster than 100 Gbps. There are links of 10 Tbps over a single fiber pair deployed.
The GP simply doesn't understand that what's condensed onto a job listing doesn't matter nearly as much as how well an individual can do the actual job. And that's better proven by previous real-world work performance than a piece of paper. Just because a listing says something about a degree being required, doesn't mean it actually is. But it does weed out those who don't have enough confidence in their skills to press on regardless.
You can point to exceptions, too. There are positions which do require degrees, still. Hard to have a lawyer who hasn't passed the bar after getting a law degree.
But having worked there in the '90's, non-college grads in professional positions were not uncommon. Hard to point to specific individuals, as with the examples I gave. But, the examples given very much point to the culture. Apple is (was?) very much a meritocracy.
Whoosh. They were simply the most obvious examples. Chris Espinoza, employee #8, was a 14 year old high schooler when he started. Randy Wigginton, employee #6, didn't have a degree. Apple has never required a degree.

It think the author is wrong in thinking this involves some new format/tech (HDR10/DV/DTS).
Sounds to me more like a marketing program disguised in techo-babble, which would compete with THX, .

I just realized the one thing Sanders and Trump have in common.

"How did these words in particular acquire an added vulgar and/or pejorative meaning and other words not?"
Through use. Duh.
"It explicitly means vagina."
No, neither explicitly nor exclusively. Only in vulgar slang. It has other, perfectly cromulent, meanings.
They have a added vulgar and/or pejorative meaning. Same thing that makes "the n-word" offensive and "black" not.
"how silly/childish we still are...fuck..."
There you go, proving that it's not just "schoolyard snickering" which is rude.

Nothing lethal about it. See, the thing is, zombies are already dead.

Sure, but I don't think the police are going to let you take their guns away.
