  5. It's happening more on Cord-Cutting in America May Have Already Peaked (fool.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My 74 year old mother just cut the cord from AT&T/DirecTV to playstation vue. No she doesn't have a playstation. anyway her cost dropped from 125/mnth to 60/mnth. That was the driver for her to switch. If the AT&Ts and Comcasts of the world keep gouging people then the exodus will continue. I guess I should follow her lead and drop DirecTV also but i haggle with them every 6 months to year to keep my price down to $64/mnth so I guess it's no rush. She was done with the haggling and just had enough. she still struggles to use the app and chromecast but she's determined stick to the man so she's getting the hang of it.

    actually Godwin doesn’t apply here given that it is directly related. Nice attempt at deflection though. Either way I guess you would rather be under Putin's rule than what you have currently.

    wow you are really a moron. Apparently you fail to realize that if it wasn't for the "American Empire" You people would be under Nazi rule today. I don't know if you are German but you sure as hell would be if it wasn't for the "American Empire" or maybe your family would have been wiped out and you wouldn't currently exist.

  14. Russia is making themselves the enemy by hacking into maliciously hacking foreign elections. US, British, French, maybe they will hack Norway's elections, Maybe they have already been doing it and installed someone friendly in Norway to keep Norway under there sphere of influence

  15. Re:What does that mean for humanity? on A Third Person May Have Been Cured of HIV (newscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    The Delta32 mutation of the CCR5 gene causes resistance to HIV and other plagues such as the Black Death. It occurs naturally in some people as a result of selection pressure of the plagues. Even though the methods used here to cure HIV are rather costly and dangerous and won't become mainstream, what it shows is that the Delta32 mutation of CCR5 gene not only provides resistance to HIV by turning of a receptor that the virus needs to attach to the cell in order to infect the host but also cures it outright. What that means is that a much safer cure can possibly be targeted along this path.

  21. People have been modifying cars since the dawn of the car. Rooting is just another form of mod. It's actually common to just replace the stock computer and use one of the many after-market computers that allows you to be root out of the box rather than simply modifying the limited factory one. Nothing to see here.

    well since the OP was talking about Starlink by SpaceX then that is supposed to fix the latency problem. 25-35ms latency is dramatically better than geostationary satellite internet and even better than some terrestrial services at the moment.

    obviously i was talking about eligible Florida residents/voters. What it comes down to is us voters. we decide who the politicians in power are. If we decide that it's ok for miners to pollute and cause red tides that affects the tourism of the state then it is we the residents/voters that decide to put these people in power to allow the miners to keep dumping sulphur and causing red tides or what ever it may be. Some people may even be fine with the pollution driving away tourism. Less tourism == less foreigners
