In Alaska FedEx IS USPS - they bulk ship to the FedEx terminal in Anchorage (one of their largest) and then use the Post Office to dribble it to the tiny little towns and hamlets (and the occasional big town that pretends it's a city) in the state.
That said, Amazon is killing it's Alaska market (all 500 or so customers) by just flatly refusing to ship there. Most of the stuff I try to buy simply cannot be purchased through Amazon. Turns out that in 2016 this is no great loss, lots of other ecommerce vendors.
And WalMart has finally figured out that shipping dog food to Alaska for free isn't such a smart idea. Darn. Was great while it lasted.
It usually doesn't take 10 years to photoshop a picture
They can't afford Photoshop. They found a cracked version of GIMP, but they're having some problems running on the Commodore 128 they found in a Salvation Army dumpster.
Tinder has always rife with these kinds of scams, sometimes seems like every third person matched sends a large pasted paragraph with a bit.ly link at the end.
There might be more info in the full complaint but it's a bit much reading for me so I'll make do with this somewhat inflammatory headline and my uninformed opinion!
Classic Slashdot.
And people complain about how this site has changed.
Hmmm, how to handle large crowds at large, permanent venues? Drones?! Why not just install more permanent hardware?
It makes sense for emergencies where you have a temporary need though.
Not really. Drones, except the million dollar a pop military type, have limited flight duration. When you want a bit of emergency communications, you probably want it for something on the order of a least multiple hours. Besides, ATT already has mobile cell towers on trailers. Complete with a generator and a week's supply of diesel. If you need some elevation, put the damned wire on a balloon like a dozen other posters have already mentioned.
Hell, ATT, do we have to do all of the work for you?
Yet. Still, you'll note that choosing mates tends to bias heavily towards the successful, strong, healthy, and intelligent in various combinations.
Oh. Right. I suppose if you really stress the concept of 'various combinations' you might have a point, but this silly statement is exactly why Tyson's idea of rationality doesn't work. Hormones aren't especially rational.
"Man is not a rational animal, he is a rationalizing animal." - RAH.
According to TFA, the electric toothbrush reference design is also suitable for 'personal care items'.
Never in a thousand years would I have thought such a stodgy outfit as TI would have ever created a reference design for a vibrator.
Not to mention the sad state of affairs when said vibrator needs a microprocessor. Now you have no idea with the thing is really doing when you turn it on. This is a really fucking weird world.
Question 2: How many here have ever been confused as to which state they're in? I drive all over the country, and I've never found myself thinking, "Am I in Texas or Oregon? I can't tell."
Come on. It's easy in the American NE. You can sneeze twice and go entirely through Rhode Island.
the publication reports that three websites owned by Penton Technology -- MacForums.com, HotScripts.com, and WebHostingTalk.com -- have been compromised and their databases are now being sold on the Darknet. While nothing is confirmed, there is a possibility that some of the rumored 40M compromised Apple ID credentials may have come from these forums, or from LinkedIn's recent hack.
You say this because you don't do anything important. You don't deal with information that can never be trusted to a third party (e.g. cloud). You don't travel for work. You don't work in areas without Wifi since you probably only go from your fiberoptic wired home to your fiberoptic wired cubicle farm. You also undoubtedly have no concern about governments going out of control and spying on you while wiping their ass with the Constitution. I'm sure that you probably know all about Star Wars and dress up like them too. At some point you have to grow up, be a responsible citizen, and see that your viewpoint is very limited. You really need to expand your knowledge of the world.

Well, we're getting there anyway.
what the fuck made you think it was OK to store that.
When you clicked through the EULA, you said they could.
What. can't you read?

I wonder what happens when they try to sue a mountain range
Fight Social Justice Warriors with a water pistol.
They're all wet anyway.
If there is so much noise around you that you need noise cancelling headphones, how are they going to accurately detect these sound patterns?
More noise cancelling headphones. Of course.
Any solutions for television outside of manually adjusting the temperature?
Turning it off?
Ha Ha. It's gonna have nanoflake tungsten diselenide. And where do you think you're going to get that stuff from, Mr. Libertarian?
From the big people.
Of course.
That train left a long while ago. It's the economy, stupid. And the stupid economy needs to grow. GROW! GROW! More! Exponential functions are grand!
A projector that you can only use in a darkened room by yourself.....

It's always a matter of priorities. The FBI would rather chase down 'pirates' than complete FOIA requests.
Trump will reinstate it, no worries.
You're thinking of Chuck Norris.

Those are all acquired conditions from nutritional deficiency - e.g. those caused by an artificially restricted diet like vegetarianism in humans.
Acromegaly from diet? Nice try. Place another quarter in the slot and play again.

People who post info on social media are fools!
Oh. Wait.
Stop that. Radio Shack sells batteries and cheap Chinese trinkets. That's more than Yahoo does.

Yep. He says this like a perfectly normal person.
You, on the other hand, not so much.
Yeah, salmon is expensive. I was hoping to get the grant to pay for it.
Dunno, it seems like it could open a whole new field. Research work on fresh salmon.
Mmmm. Salmon.
