If they cause storms, it might be better to turn them off. I don't think that it is a coincidence that when they run, there is wind and when they don't there isn't.
Next on Fox: Does wind energy cause all the huricanes and why are we not allowed to use coal, like King Trump demands.
I have only once used a router from a provider and that was as a tester for ADSL when they where rolling it out in Belgium. After that? Never! I just buy the thing and do with it as I please. I bought it from them and now it is mine to do with as I please. I do the updates. I set the passwords. I plug it into the wall. And they had no problem with doing that.
In the past I had once a cable provider and I had my own network card. They came to install it and I was nice enough to have Win95 installed, so they could do their thing. (Win95 was the latest version). All they needed to do was look up the MAC address to have it configured on their end. Took them about 40 minutes, but whatever.
When he was gone, I just replaced the PC with a router contected to several Linux machines. This was not officially alowed, hence the Win95 machine. Called in my new MAC adress and was done probably before the technician stepped into his card.
My network, my hardware. Pretty simple when you think about it.
That is expensive. I pay 350EUR per month and that is including the copper. To be fair I do not have the 100/20. I have 30/10 as I am too lazy to do some proper cabeling inside my house. Otherwise I would have 70/20. Unlimited and fixed phone (that I have yet to set up on my router) I do not have a fixed IP. That would cost 65EUR per month. Yes, 30EUR for a fixed IP address. And I can still get to my servers with Dynamic DNS that is still free at various places.
I do not watch TV anymore. Just not worth it, so I have not moved from one evili company to one that is nice now.
Every 2 to 3 years I look if there are better options available and I changed just now contract with my provider for a cheaper contract and I lost the extra account I needed to pay for copper.
There vare several copper providers I can go to. At least 3 will give unlimited traffic and all ports open. Not sure about the rest.
There is only one cable provider and they are 75EUR if you want unlimited with 20/200 connections:10/100 will give you 200GB per month. They also block several ports that should be open for me.
In Europe this is by no means cheap. Many in other countries will be a lot cheaper.
Well, it would hurt the companies and their CxO to get bigger bonuses, so why should they close these loopholes. That would be un-American. Why do you hate America?
I have been without work for 2 years in a row twice and the only reason I went back to work was money. I would have had money, I sure would have not gone to work. That does not mean that I was sitting on my sofa eating nachos. I just did more of what I wanted to do when I wanted to it.
Ask people what they do in their free time and they will come up with "Movies, hanging out with friends and fitness". None of these are things you can do all day for a longer period of time (months on end) and the friends part will be limited as they work and will not be available most of the time.
So I do believe that many people would go back to work, but not because of money, but because of boredom and lack of fantasy.
So what did I do? I spend a lot more time with Open Source. No, I do not want to do that as a job as I would want to do my hooby in my free time.
And if that does not work, what then? There was tea thrown into a harbor because there was taxation without representation. Those people who where so smart said: we do not agree with the rules, we make our own rules. They disagreed with the processes.
Furthermore he said nothing about a slim majority, he talked about the fact that what people who are dead over 200 said might be outdated. Most people just keep saying it is relevant, because it is what is currently in use.
Those people could also have said: well, the processes are that we have taxation without representation, because that is what it is and if we want to amend that, there are processes that need to be followed.
He sounds more like this : [...] Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. [...] And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...[...]
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. [...]
Even if it is by design, it does not explain why the numbers are going down. Even if tobacco would take 50% of all deaths and we have a lottery that takes out another 25%, the number can still grow. So unless you show me what the percentage of tobacco death are during the years they are talking about, it means nothing in this context. It does not explain why the numbers are starting to get lower. It explains why they are high as they are, but not the change, unless you have numbers that back it up.
You should also look to other countries and see what the reason might be.
I live in Europe. If I like I can buy swords and guns if I so desire (I don't). The fact that you say "with no other function" is meaningless, because "I bought it and it is mine" is another function.
To me VW passed the tests. To me the tests where at fault. And this was possible all along. You get updates for your phone on a regular basis, sop they can introduce any code they desire. But why do that with updates? Just program it in from the beginning. Make it crash when it is EOL+2months.
neither country would knowingly carry out hacking for commercial advantages
WTF did they thought was going to happen? It is also nice to see that it IS allowed to hack others knowingly, only if companies are involved you should not do it. At least not on purpose to make money. Otherwise? Totes ok!
I also like the spin "You can not hack companies for gain because terrorism" or so it sounds.
1) You obviously have to pay extreme roaming prices. And it does not matter if it is a call over your own provider. They will see to it that you pay extra and a lot extra. As they are flying all other pricing regulations will be deemed void, regardless that other places are not allowed to do the same, because they are on the ground (e.g. no roaming cost or blocking in malls or conference centers) 2) If you want to book a seat where you can do calls, you need to book extra 3) If you want to book a seat where people are not calling, you need to pay extra 4) To pay for the systems to be installed, prices will increase to pay for it, regardless if you use it or not or if it is even needed or not. 5) You will be spammed 10 minutes after you get in the plane.
OK, 4 and 5 might be a bit over the tom but 1, 2 and 3 are things I could see happening.
And with high healthcare cost comes that people will go to the doctor only when they are really, really ill. Car comparison: instead of changing oil every X miles, you wait till the motor complains (long after the light goes on) and then you go. Might be in time, might be too late, but it will cost more than just an oil change.
Remove that content and they will lose a lot of people that visit Google. That means loss in revenue. If they give 1B$ you can bet your ass that they made a lot more on ads for the views.
And people will not only watch one video. They will watch 5 after they came for 1 song. So yes, it would hurt Google if they delete all that content and people will go elsewhere for content hosting.
The fact that you say that the one with the most money wins is the whole problem. RIA sues me and they win because they have deeper pockets. They should win if they are right and lose if they are wrong, regardless of the amount of money they have. The thing is that if they are wrong, they will buy the law that makes it that they are right.
Basically they are a union for the companies. And still people think unions are a bad idea, while it is proven that they CAN work. The individual labels would never have that power. In union, they can. You can dispute if they should be doing what they are doing, but they ARE successful in what they do for their members.
Ans please tell me why it is needed in the US economy. Also why not in others, like the EU, Russian or Australian ones.
The best I can come up with is that we are used to it. We have money, we put it in the bank and after a time we have a higher amount. That makes us feel good as we think we have increased our wealth. We have not. (Yes, for simplification I leave interest out of it)
0% inflation would be the be the best, because it will be a lot easier to notice if prices increased or not. If you pay 100 for your bread and suddenly it is 102, you know it has increased. If it goes to 98, you know it is cheaper.
Instead of having 1 person work 80 hours, let 4 work 20 hours. This should be for the CxO as well. No more 100+ hours because you are management. Hire 4 managers that work 25 hours.
Will this a solution for all? No, but it will be for most.
At the end of his 4 years, I hope he says one of these things: 1) Just click your heels together. 2) The change to make things better were within you all the time.
The REAL pathetic thing is that people still think there is somehow a difference between the two parties. Spoiler alert: there isn't. Not really. Well, there are differences, but those are pretty small. It is like asking the kids what fast-food restaurant they are wanting to go and one kid wants to go to Burger King and the other to McDonals. Pretty big decisions for the kids, but for the parents, not so much. They don't want to go to either, but giving in to one or the other gives the kids the idea they have something to say and they stop yelling.
"One is worse than the other" is like saying you have a coice when knee they break if you do not pay your insurance to Mario "Kneebreaker" Spumanti. What is needed is a reform of government. And instead of repeating what some dead guys 200+ years ago said, you need to say things that are valid NOW. 200+ years ago the situation was not what it is today. If the situation is different, you can not do the same and hope for a good result, because that is obviously failing. It is that not enough people are pushing for a real reformation of politics. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to change and the more resistance there will; be. Change will happen and just as two tectonic plates will cause an earthquake. The longer you wait, the more violent it will be.
the best source of news is a source that you trust to be true and accurate
That is not true. The reason it is not true is that truth does not care if _I_ believe the source or not. If NewsA is something I trust, does not mean they are telling the truth. It only says something about MY trust, not if they should be trusted.
So what is the solution? First you need to have multiple sources. They need to be independent from each other. e.g. not one paper and another one owned by the same company. If possible they need to be as far apart as possible. They can be from different countries. e.g. Foxnews, CNN, BBC and Al Jeziraa. If there are any that you detest, good. And now you can start to think for yourself. Also: do not limit yourself to these and understand that the truth is also not interested in amount of people who say something. Just because 3 f the sources say something does not mean they are wrong.
The self thinking comes from the fact that you will start to notice that one source might be telling more lies than others, You will also start to realize that many articles are almost identical and the wording is just a bit different. This often means that they have it from the same source, like Reuters or a press release.
So if you not have the time to do your own research, you are screwed, as you do not know upfront what sources depend on their reputation and which ones depend on hype.
