    "For instance, if you have $100,000 in savings and you have 10 years left to live, you'd know that you can't spend more than $10,000 per year."

    And reduce your gym time, so not to live longer than your money.

  2. "Life isn't always about getting the schedule or job you want. Sometimes you have to suck it up and do what you need to do and stop whining about why you fail."

    But...but...they are SPECIAL!

    Their mom told them.

    "I use FreeNAS, but have Plex running on a NUC with an external USB drive that I make internet accessible in a DMZ.

    I'm not wasting my RAIDZ space on FLAAC audio."

    Your acronym generator seems also to be fine.

    "tl;dr: you won't get 25-35ms ping. try triple that, at least."

    Bummer, so this won't be for real-time traders and gamers.
    So only 7 billion potential customers, that sucks.

  6. "Is it just me, or does this seem fairly petty and petulant? "

    Not at all! They will get the right to their own domains and they will have the power not to let any Polish plumber consult their sites from day one, while still letting the Irish ones in without any checks.

    Wasn't that their hearts' desire?

  7. "I received an email from them about it this morning. Seems pretty straightforward to me. If your account was "at one point" do you still check the email used to sign up for it?"

    Nobody sane uses a real name or a real email address for services like this.

  8. It seems to miss that latter letter.

  9. "I'm not sure this story is a good example of things going bad. Kodi still shows up in the search results."

    Sure, but now the pirates have to type the last 'i' themselves!
    That will show them.

    "You've learnt nothing from the internet, you'll learn nothing after you mail gets delivered once every 2 weeks ..."

    That would sure suck. But it sucks also today, here's how the deliveries were done in London in 1844

    'The hours by which letters should be put into the receiving houses in town for each delivery are as follow - For delivery in town,
    Over night by eight o'clock, for the first delivery.
    Morning by eight o'clock, for the second delivery.
    Morning by ten o'clock, for the third delivery.
    Morning by twelve o'clock, for the fourth delivery.
    Afternoon by two o'clock, for the fifth delivery.
    Afternoon by four o'clock, for the sixth delivery.
    Afternoon by six o'clock, for the seventh delivery....'

    "So, eating ground tiger penis is better than viagra?"

    No, that's pure bullshit, rhino horn is the only thing that works.

  13. "1) speak openly with your partner/mother about an act of armed insurrection against the US"

    And pronto you'll get ads for assault rifles and fertilizer.
    This is business not paranoia.

    "I don't understand, 1900ft? There are buildings taller than that! Why the expense of a rocket? Why not go get on a hot air ballon? The rides are like $40...."

    What's so difficult to understand?

    It's not rocket science, the guy is nuts.

    "There is absolutely no reason an intelligent, ... would use those services. "

    Go figure.

  19. "That's not an insignificant number, and it's understandable why Spotify is cracking down on them"

  20. Does that mean New Yorkers don't have the right to put their work cellphones in the office drawer when they leave?

  21. A similar article has been posted here every year a few times since the war.
    We get it.

    cool!

  23. On the contrary on Ask Slashdot: Is Beaming Down In Star Trek a Death Sentence? · · Score: 2

    It would mean eternal life.

    Since it would first record the data of the person to beam, it would analyze it and obviously NOT beam any cancer cells and pathogens down, but delete those from the data first.

    Second, it could be used to send the body of a 25 year old in perfect health but with the conscience of the real person, no matter the age.
    In case of a fatal accident, the last backup from the last beam could be used to recreate the dead person.

    Obviously all esthetic surgeons would go jobless as well.

  24. Grazing
    Grazing is a method of feeding in which a herbivore feeds on plants such as grasses, or other multicellular organisms such as algae.
