I have DSL that used to be cheap but they made me get a phone line and it almost doubled in price. (i don't need or use the phone line). I called comcast and they said i can get internet only for 44$ per month. I don't need tv because i get all i need from an OTA and the internet. Is that price for real or is there hidden prices that despite my asking about will still get tacked on my bill. I'm in central NJ, only choices are Verizon DSL(what i now have) and Comcast.
Comcast internet price they quoted you is a deal and will be a higher price after 6 months. That is the price they always quote, the deal price, never the real price.
I don't care what MS does. Fuck them. It's obvious this is a plan to get people to upgrade to W10, which by the way they are forcing it, means you want to stay really far away from it.
I wait on installing updates anyways, since MS has shown they will push broken updates and push telemetry data bullshit on windows 7 also.
We the humans are stupid to think we have any ideas on how life is in the universe. We know barely anything about the planet we are on, let alone other planets in our solar system. Everything is else we do is basically guess work with no way to prove anything. We are stuck in our small, small, small, small, small, small, very fucking small part of the universe. WE KNOW NOTHING. So quit pretending we do.
I live without a credit card. I do have a debit card though. I keep it secure by keeping it on me. If you can get it from me, then I guess you earned it.
Since the camera's are not currently off, put superglue on the camera lens. It will block it from taking clear pictures and be hard a fuck to take off. And since they don't have the camera's on yet, they won't know who did it.
Sometimes you have to take your privacy back from those you who want to abuse it.
If the NSA was dumb enough to do this then they just wrote a blanket invitation to all countries to attack US owned agencies and companies openly with impunity. They will sound like complete hypocrites (even more so) and be ignored when other countries do it. I doubt NSA would be that dumb...I hope.
God, I love politics. On one hand we got the FBI and cronies wanting encryption weaken to make their job easier, and on the other hand, we got a big cyber threat from Russia/China.
1,300 lawsuits against his companies are on the public record. Compare this to Mitt Romney or Michael Bloomberg to see what a shady character Trump is.
Trump is running against Clinton. How about we compare records between Hillary and Donald and see who really is the shady character.
This is why I run windows 7 for my games. But considering dumping windows and going linux only gamer. Well, that and my old consoles, I have plenty of games I can play on those also. Very few new PC games do it for me anymore. Doom was a great disappointment. It's Quake III with better graphics. Which is cool if you are into arena shooters, but I'm not. Maybe I'm getting too old, but PC games suck these days for the most part.
Seeing as MS is putting out a new more powerful version of the Xbox soon, I would think spending any amount of money on the Xbox One would be stupid. Unless it was a bargain price, like $100 or less.
A journalist (of the WSJ no less) has no idea what is going on in their country? That's what was the most surprising to me. I mean, I knew about the 100-mile border rule and I am neither a journalist, nor a US citizen. I thought the US journalists are in on it with the government by not drawing attention to the slowly eroding US constitutional rights, but in this case it is not some conspiracy, the journalist is an idiot. Where idiot here is also used in the original meaning from the ancient greek (no unicode to list it here) which was referred to people who were not interested in the affairs of the State. If a journalist whose job is to know stuff exactly like this, is surprised to find something like that out, what hope do the people in the US realize that they have let them take away their rights one by one?
Pretty sure most journalists these days just forward stories written by the powers that be. Doesn't require thinking for yourself, or doing anything other then selling your morals.
If the TPP is past, Corporations will be able to sue Governments for getting in the way of their making profit. So you can damn well bet that the advertisement networks will sue to get any type of ad blocking banned. And they will be backed by most other corporations also, so ya, this will be coming to America.
"Many of us older computer nerds probably used DOS very early, on our first home computer..."
And here I think of DOS as a 'newer' system
Well, I was using TRS-80 DOS and L-DOS on TRS-80's in the very early 80's. But that was at school. My first home computer was a C64 with a cassette drive.
It will only take a few weeks before someone figures out how to mod it and load custom software on it. It's going to do a lot more than play those 30 selected games.
And I'm guessing some time after X-mas they will start appearing on ebay & craigslist for cheap.
Look, you get a 30 day trial to prime and it doesn't disappear when you opt out of the trial. I used to sign up for the free trial on prime, get shit mailed, opt out of prime, then rinse & repeat next time I wanted an item. I did this for 3 years until this last month when I finally ran out of trial days.
I think you just want to complain, since you get prime free for 30 days.
It's sad because 30 years ago when I was a teenager, this sort of stuff would of been great. Now though, I know the reality of the situation, that it's used to track users to harvest information and data.

Which they weren't happy about and didn't train me correctly. And honestly, I don't blame them. It was a shitty position to be in.

*60MB in four seconds, a 150MB in two seconds*
Problem is they really use 60mb for a TV show.

Sucks?

Read that article, they admit to hacking other countries.
Right, everything he ever said is a joke. Why can't people understand that?
Because it's easier to go on about Trump then accept the reality of what Clinton has done so far with power.
God, I love politics. On one hand we got the FBI and cronies wanting encryption weaken to make their job easier, and on the other hand, we got a big cyber threat from Russia/China.
Which one is it you fuckers?

Linux before Windows 10 for sure.

Why is C/C++ not allowed at your job?
C does what I need it to do. Only thing I'd switch to is probably assembly, since that would make the code run faster.
I thought it was called a cell phone. gives the police an excuse for portal stingray devices.
