And what would that accomplish? It's not like anything is going to be done at the sudden revelation of who is and is not involved in influencing the FCC on the corporations' views.
You would think the popularity of Netflix would cause the general public to be strongly on the Net Neutrality side, but for them this whole thing is still "nerd politics". They care about it about as much as they care about the wage gap -- not enough to truly do anything more than stay the current course and take it in the rear.
I just woke up and am not in a state of mind to do it myself. Someone please write us a song about being terrorized by Canadian geese to go with the theme song.
It turns out that she didn't turn on icloud on the new (old) iphone so all of the imessages were going to never never land. It's not obvious at all what is happening.
The first thing I would do after activating an iPhone on a plan to replace another one is sign into my iCloud account to sync all my contacts back. Not to mention remove the old iPhone from my iCloud account so my iCloud email, Safari bookmarks (and possibly saved passwords) are no longer in the thief's hands.
While there are certainly some people who will hold this up as an example why hobbyist drone flying should be banned, it just looks like a case of existing laws being broken. Am I believe there is not already rules governing the airspace immediately around airports? I'm sure there is, and I'm sure this person was violating those rules as they stand. So new laws against drone flying aren't going to have any effect on the outcome.
Secondly: The idea this drone could be pulled into the engine of a commercial aircraft with "catastrophic" results... and how is this any different than a large bird being pulled into the engine of an aircraft? If the sudden loss of a single engine from what should be an accidental interaction with a drone is all it takes to cause something "catastrophic" from happen, maybe the airplane needs to be designed better. If it's not accidental, but intentional (terrorism) then all the laws in the books aren't going to prevent it.
It doesn't happen to me. Maybe you're having issues just like Fudrucker. Same with the other posters above complaining about how the new version of Firefox got real slow when using x extension or y plugin -- don't blame the poor software writing for what are likely an individual system issue.
... and i notice now when i close firefox that artifacts stay in memory so if i relaunch firefox again a dialog pops up telling me firefox is already running.
Uh, it's not supposed to do that. That's an issue with your Firefox and a fresh install would probably fix it.
And that's why you can have my widescreen Laserdisc editions when you pry them from my cold, dead hands...
Good luck finding a laserdisc in good working order.
There was a release of the original trilogy on DVD that used the Laserdisc master, and included both Theatrical and Special Edition. I recall the howling of rage when people figured out it was not a true 480p release (this of course was years before BD).
So the OP really doesn't have to keep those Laserdiscs and try and keep a player going.
>I don't quite know the structure of this bundling, but I'd assume you'd end up giving the viewers a choice of some 10-30 bundles, each one containing just 1 or 2 popular channels and a dozen or so less popular ones.
Isn't that exactly the system we have now? People only want 1-2 dozen channels but end up subscribed to ten times that because the others are included whether they want them or not.
People using shared storage providers such as Box and Dropbox are leaking data, a competitor has discovered. Links to shared files leak out when those links are accidentally put into the Google search box, or if users click links from within the documents.
This sounds more like an ID10-T problem to me. If the user wants the links kept quiet they need to make sure not to type them in public places or link them in files they give others.
I'm not making any claims, I'm just making an observation: Some of the things on DoJ's "Laundry List" of so-called "high financial risk" businesses are historically not high-risk AT ALL.
Ironically, if the DOJ was actually going after "high-risk" businesses, they would be going after all those large banks that deal in sub-prime mortgages. Closing them down instead of bailing them out. We have proof that their business is a risk to the health of the country's economy.
They're not trying to shut down porn -- what possible motive could they even have for that?
To enforce a certain moral system on the rest of the country, something the Right has been trying to do for decades with laws targeting same sex marriage, abortion, and the War on Drugs.
I'm not discounting the rest of your post and if the Slashdot summary is wrong and misrepresents what is really happening here that is too bad, but you seem to be suggesting the government having an agenda like that would never happen. The elected leaders have shown they really don't care too much about the viewpoints of their constituents, the people whose views they are supposed to embody. Once they're elected they do whatever they personally feel like or their corporate campaign donors want them to do.
If they're available in a torrent they are 90% likely to have been released on DVD or Blu-ray. You'd be surprised how cheap older movies sell for even in HD.
Related to that is the difficulty of clearing the address bar.
If you click in the middle of the current URL the whole thing highlights (on Firefox anyway), replacing the current address contents with whatever you type in -- even if you don't hit backspace and clear it first.
2. This is about selling papers, certs. Just like colleges are most just about selling diplomas now.
3. What you learn there, you can learn online, for free.
Kinda answered your own question there. Yes, you can learn programming online for free. But being self-taught is generally worth shit on the job market. Unless you have the piece of paper saying you spent thousands of dollars to learn something, people don't believe you know it.
They say the jamming 'could and may have had disastrous consequences by precluding the use of cell phones to reach life-saving 9-1-1 services provided by police, ambulance, and fire departments.'"
Remember when cell phone first start becoming popular, and people were told specifically they were not meant for emergency communications?
Actually, Comcast tech support has told me point blank that I'm guaranteed at least 12M down and 3M up.
The tech is speaking with the voice of inexperience. If he says you're "guaranteed 12M down and 3M up" those are the thresholds Comcast has set for "acceptable" service on your package, which I assume is advertised higher than that. If you're below those thresholds they will begin their normal troubleshooting/field tech process. But they are going to be going by the average of your connection speed, and if a tech cannot resolve the issue they will eventually either tell you to "this is how it's going to be" or downgrade you to a speed package they can support.
When issues go beyond the modem, and replacing of coax and splitters from the pole and through the house, and up to a "line issue" they start looking at cost of line/node upgrading verses number of subscribers this issue is effecting -- and they may decide it's not worth the trouble.

On Windows, Pale Moon could be a good base to start from. Wouldn't even have to back out the Australis UI.

It does do that.

How can it get easier than that?
Google could never get rid of the URL entirely, because it's required in order to link someone to a direct location, obviously.
Google doesn't want people to go to a website directly on their own. They want folks to search for it with Google, obviously.
You could also use Ghostery but not enable the data sharing feature mentioned in that article.

If it had been my house, it would have destroyed all my paperwork that proves who I am.
There's this marvelous service called a safe deposit box that banks offer...
What? I can get paid to do that?
At the zoo. Rare species that are almost gone from the wild but exist in captivity and they are trying to build up the population of.

Not directly through Mozilla. But there are third-party FTP servers run by trustworthy organizations that host it I'm sure.
How are people going to download Firefox?
You can open a Windows Explorer window and use it to access FTP servers.
I'd say Firefox with Adblock Plus, so they wont get fooled by malicious ads on sites.
The telnet client is not installed by default on Windows anymore. You'd have to teach people how to add it from the control panels.
