Congress controls how much USPS can raise rates. The same Congress that sabotaged them with a 75 year pension fund is also sabotaging them with forcing them to keep their rates absurdly low.
The entire Marathon series has been available for quite some time via the Aleph One open-source engine. Additionally, Bungie released the entire trilogy as freeware.
The point of the fast expiration is so browsers don't have to carry around ever-growing rejection lists for long-lived certs. If a cert is bad or the encryption model is bad or whatever, it'll expire before it becomes an issue.
I mean, the medicine alters your brain's perception of pain. Makes sense that it could, by proximity of function, alter your brain's perception of other people's pain.
Nah. It'll be the day Firefox doesn't need to die with every upgrade because the old extension structure was more or less direct access to every little nook and cranny, which sounds like "full power" but really meant that the bigger the extension was, the more it was (for all intents) rewriting Firefox.
The newer style doesn't have breakage, has proper privilege separation, process separation, etc etc, and the browser itself won't break everything because of Dave's Way Cool Website Toolbar.
And you still have the actual freakin' source code if you want to make internal changes to the browser.. which will also be more stable, and upstream to everyone if it's a cool idea.
The main reason websites had a split between Secure and Unsecure before was due to processing overhead and, depending on how far you go back, actual regulation of encryption by Congress.
Encryption is now a very small time cost on servers and an accepted cost anyway due to the even greater eventual cost of MITM attacks.
It's also a benefit as it makes it harder for someone to passively know exactly what you're reading. Nobody can follow you around and see which specific articles you are reading on Wikipedia, for example, they can only tell that you're going to Wikipedia.
Hillary won the popular vote, so now Donald will be our second illegitimate president in less than 20 years. Electoral College system needs be removed.
There is no reason the US and Canada would have an issue implementing a Schengen style agreement. We were practically there before. The size does not matter since the entry points are not THAT numerous.
AA was a solution to get around lower res screens jagging everything up. It was not designed with higher screens in mind. People were running 800x600 displays when hardware acceleration became a thing at the consumer level.
The N64, notorious for it's aggressive AA, regularly had games running in 320x240..
But knowing gamers, we could have a 1,920,000 x 1,080,000 pixel 15 inch screen and they'd STILL turn on 16xAA.
I actually thought this was the whole reason why Apple is pushing their Retina display - they can get more performance out of their portable GPUs if they can stay away from wasting power on an AA pass.
Also here in Omaha. For Calhoun to be compromised in a significant way, the Missouri has to exceed 45 feet. At 45 feet, the rest of Omaha's flood defenses (and Council Bluffs) will have failed. A plant getting decommissioned will be the least of everyone's worries.
Crank up SafeSearch, then use OpenDNS for further filtering, and then actually supervise your kid while they use the internet and inform them of why certain things are bad/scary instead of leaving them alone to deal with it.
Don't wish for a bubble and then wonder why after leaving the bubble they just click on everything.
Plus, you're just going to have the usual issue that one community / city / state's idea of what is acceptable for kids and what is not is going to be drastically different than another community / city / state.
You don't even need a chip anymore as of at least 4 (5?) years ago. Now you just play a song on the dashboard to unlock the hard drive, then plug the drive into a computer running a custom Linux bootcd, and it installs everything for you. All you need to do is open the console itself.
Did it this way after I decommissioned my OXbox when I got a 360 just to play around with it.
I worked in a library for a long time. The only way a book got thrown out is if it's condition was really bad, ie it was puked on or had a significant number of pages torn out. A book could potentionally be sent into storage but it was never thrown away for space, even books that we had ~200 copies of due to their popularity. And those books remained in the system and could be pulled out of storage if a patron wanted it. Financially, it's cheaper to keep it in storage and still let patrons check it out via book search than it would be to throw it away, and then spend money ordering it when a patron came in looking for it.
There were books on the shelf in the library I worked at that had been on the shelf, not checked out, for over 10 years. One book had the metal shelf end piece permanently outlined via the sun bleaching it into the cover.
Except our overseas bases have nothing to do with projection because we already have nukes that do that for us. The vast majority of them are simply token presence in order to justify retaliation in case someone else attacks that country. The people we have stationed in South Korea aren't there to be a foothold, they're there to be wiped out if North Korea decides to become crazy enough to unleash their artillery onto SK and justify us retaliating instantly.
If a "big war" ever goes down again all of our overseas bases in hostile countries would be the first things wiped out. Any friendly countries would only need a day or so to set up a base for us in their borders, or for friendly countries to set up bases in ours.

Oh, so you'll go from one rebranded Clearchannel station to 13.
I thought he was all about the deregulation? *crickets*
By law, the FCC must have 2 members from one party and 3 from the other. Obama was literally required to appoint Pai to the board.
Please come back when you learn the difference between trademark and copyright.
The Pentagon themselves confirmed nobody was harmed by the release of the Manning leaks.
Firefox is updating to an add-on model that's more stable, more secure, and not based off a giant hack from the early 90s.
The point of the fast expiration is so browsers don't have to carry around ever-growing rejection lists for long-lived certs. If a cert is bad or the encryption model is bad or whatever, it'll expire before it becomes an issue.

Justin.tv successfully rebranded itself as Twitch. They're just coming back home to where they were before.
So they went from needing one trashcan to two?

Wasn't that entirely done just to keep Vista programs that check for the major version number from breaking?
