Why not? Assembly programming is a skill and for some an art. It's like asking a sculptor why he does what he does. It's not like we need to justify any project.
Blockbuster killed Blockbuster. Their movie rental prices were too high, the late fees were atrocious, their game rental prices skyrocketed
Blockbuster days didn't become numbered until RedBox arrived. Why go to the BlockBuster 4 miles away to pay $5 for a rental when you could easily go down the street to the nearest RedBox machine and get that same rental for $1.
I agree too much credit is being given to Netflix.
In Canada, I greatly prefer Canada Post to UPS or any of the other corporate carriers like DHL. I've had carriers stick my packages in the mailbox (which is fine) and fake a signature (which is not).
UPS just sucks. I had packages sent to me marked "Signature Required" and come home to find that package sitting out in the open at the front door.
There are many times when I need to do remote admin on a machine from a location where I don't have SSH available. Currently that usually involves some type of hacky browser-based terminal emulator.
Yes some web based SSH clients are better than others, but I assume the response time would be much quicker than emulating an entire OS as running an SSH client within it.
Actually running a Linux based OS in the browser would be perfect for such occasions, assuming I'm someplace where making outbound port 22 connections isn't a problem.
I don't understand how this is a less "hacky" solution, but it may work.
My cut-in-past left off the last bullet from the NCSL report:
For information about state laws related to pharmacist conscience clauses, including states that allow a pharmacist to refuse to dispense emergency contraception, please click here.
Emergency contraception (EC) can prevent pregnancy when taken up to five days following sexual intercourse. There are two EC pills approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that are a concentrated dose of progestin, a hormone found in many birth control pills, which inhibits or delays ovulation and will not work if a woman is already pregnant. Emergency contraception is not intended to be used as a regular form of birth control, and emergency contraception methods should not be confused with the abortion pill, RU-486 (mifepristone). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics estimates approximately 10 percent of women in the United States have used emergency contraception. Emergency contraception pills are estimated to be 75 to 90 percent effective at preventing pregnancy.
So there are NO restrictions on contraception except for who pays for it.
Except the same website contradicts your assertion:
The following states have taken legislative action related to accessing emergency contraception:
Twenty-one states—Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin—and the District of Columbia have statutes related to accessing emergency contraception.
Sixteen of these states—Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin—and the District of Columbia have enacted legislation requiring hospitals or health care facilities to provide information about and/or initiate emergency contraception therapy to women who have been sexually assaulted.
Ohio has a law that directs the state’s public health council to establish procedures for gathering evidence for victims of sexual offenses. The council created the Ohio Protocol for Sexual Assault Forensic and Medical Exams, which requires medical personnel to discuss and offer options for emergency contraception with survivors of sexual assault.
Pennsylvania has established the requirement that health care facilities provide information about emergency contraception and administer it onsite upon the victim's request through administrative code.
Nine states—Alaska, California, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Vermont, and Washington—allow pharmacists to initiate emergency contraception drug therapy if they are working in collaboration with a physician, and/or after they have completed a training program in emergency contraception.
Of course in your and Nancy Pelosi's world, my refusing to pay for YOUR rubbers somehow intrudes on your right to fuck anyone at anytime.
Really? You are so concerned about who's paying for "rubbers" that you totally went off topic which is access to emergency contraception. Just in case you didn't know, condom use lowers the need for emergency contraception significantly.
Snarky comment aside. The information they gleaned from their observation was already well established. Manufacturers rarely give a warranty period outside of their own internal reliability studies.
She considers emergency contraception taken within 24 hours of unprotected sex as being equivalent to abortion despite the actual mechanism being used by the drug.
The only reason this is an issue is that the government is involved in marriage the first place. If there was no government sanction of marriage, then gay marriage would be a non-issue.
She opposes the existence of gay marriage. I doubt she cares about someone's tax status or estate rights. Marriage in of itself is a social contract to define what constitutes a household. I see nothing wrong with the government determining the tax structure of a household or protecting the ownership rights of an estate if someone in the household dies.
Abortion is a balance of rights between the mother and the unborn child. Obviously, her opinion rests on the unborn child having full rights as a human being, so she is basically supporting murder being illegal. Do you support murder being illegal?
It's not just abortion, but I love how you zinged right to that part. It's also about access to birth control.
Four years isn't long enough. Come back to us when you reach 6 or 8 years. The study looked at drives during the warranty period (WD drives have 5 year warranty).
Also the information they presented doesn't show that low of a failure rate.
My coworker says the exact same thing about the ACA. She insists that the government should not get involved in her life and intrude on something as personal as health care. Of course she wants the government to intrude in someone else's personal life so that it can protect traditional marriage by telling two people who love each other to not get married because they are the same sex. She also insists that the government should dictate the reproductive rights of women too. Why is it okay for the government to intrude in someone else's personal lives but not our own?
Her mixed message makes me doubt the sincerity of her desire to uphold the constitution. She is not alone, I see thing from a lot of social conservatives.
If only the constitution specified some procedure that must be followed to verify that a law is in fact constitutional like have the highest court in the nation review and approve the controversial law. Wait it does, and yes they did.
And for those of you who remember fondly the good old days - The Post Office used to be open and deliver on Christmas day.
I don't remember the post office actually being open on christmas day, but I do remember them making deliveries on Christmas day. In fact they still do for express deliveries.
So you are suggesting that the employer should risk messing up a working system so that the current employees could develop a skill they could use at a new employer?
If the current system works well then don't try to fix it. " I'd rather use some tools with more of a community than just the 4 of us." is a very bad reason to try to install and learn a completely different system.
Unless more information is presented, I'll place this in the "idle hands are the devil's playground" category.
I assume you are talking about this in the summary:
Like Windows, Android has built a dominant market share because any hardware manufacturer can license it — and as they did with Windows, those manufacturers are loading up Android devices with their own proprietary crapware.
I don't think the cost of the license is relative in this instance. The point the author was trying to make is that the handset manufacturers are allowed to make changes to the OS that makes their crapware uninstallable just like they can on Windows phone.

LOL. Seriously though, "Reefer Madness" was financed by a church group.

You keep talking about RU-486 (mifepristone). I'm talking about concentrated doses of progestin commonly referred to as emergency contraception.
The sooner you realize your mistake, the sooner you will stop looking like a damn fool.

If you took the time to actually research the topic then...

You as an individual may not have the same idea. However the social conservatives have documented their political platform and fully subscribed to it. You can find it on the tea party patriots site,Heritage Foundation site, and the actual republican party site.
if you don't subscribe to their philosophy then good for you. You are not the target of my "brush"
You did immediately lose your moral high ground with:
You assumed that since I didn't agree with your beliefs in this particular instance that I'm not only liberal but I'm a moron too.

replace relative with relevant. Auto-type was a bad guesser.

It's good enough. Besides when I want to rent a blue ray of a very recent movie, I just go to RedBox. RedBox is the reason BestBuy died in my town.
Someone has been watching too much V for Vendetta.
There is no Federal law that clearly prohibits an employer from asking about arrest and conviction records.
I've been impressed with the quality of the streaming from Netflix. It rivals on demand and some of my cable channels.
