I have a 54" TV and I bought it when I already gave up on cable. Basicaly it is just a big monitor, but technicaly it is a TV.
I am even cutting down on other 'tv like content' like torrents. I do not have netflix or the like. I basically use it to watch Youtube and other (legal) online content.
I can easily imagine that people use it for gaming or other things, as they are just big cheap screens.
You only look at this one class, not at all other ones he has already given. That will lower the probability a lot, because now you look at the option of not failing as 0%, while in reality it is much, much higher.
Imagine half of them failing (due to their own fault), that does not mean 10*10% it means 10*10%/10*10% or 50/50.
Now you must look at all the other students he has had and the percentage will even be,ore different.
I can only compare to what I know from Belgium, Europe. 1) The price only being for new customers? That is almost a standard, but it must be indicated. 2) Paying extra for hardware lease? That is normal as well, as long as you have the option of using your own (or buy it from them). Otherwise it must be included. 3) Taxes and all other costs must be included by law. 4) Extra channels will cost extra
And yes, if you have a signed contract and newer deals are cheaper, you still will need to pay what you signed for. Just as if they woudl become more expensive.
Now what could happen is that there is a change in their pricing that makes it more expensive and they do not want to keep you at the same price or that there is a serious change in service . e.g. removing analog chanels to digitals or no more free email or whatever.
Then you will have the right to cancel AT NO COST and if you do not, you are entering a new contract.
So except for the not including part of the taxes (which is a general thing in the US vs Europe)
This is just human behaviour. This is like adding 'on the internet; to turn it into something new.
People have literaly killed because of their passion. This is not something new since Open Software. Not even since software or since computers. This has been going on since Kain and Abel.
People are passionate about things they care about: News at 11.
it's everyone's problem if advertisers can pay google to effectively come top of relevant searches, since we have to live with people who will be potentially operating under dangerous false assumptions.
When I see ads, I ALWAYS assume they are false. Also: ads are influenced about your browsing history. I did not see it and I tried google on several countries. No ad.
Next on/. I googled iPhone and saw an ad for Samsung. OMG,: google is evil.
I am not a fan of Google, as they have way too much power, but I think this is just stoopid.
You DO have the answer. Making the sahring illegal.
I have been in situations where a company bought the customers from another company. The way data was transfered from one to another was very limited. Strict rules applied of what was allowed to be transfered and that those who did not want to be transfered were allowed to not have their data transfered as default.
Companies who do not comply will first get inspection, then fines and it could result in them loosing their license for a period and CxO's will be held reposible and might face prison time.
That last one will most likely never happen as before that the company will be already closed and/or fines will have been paid if they not already stop doing it.
Why not make it illegal to sell data. Yes, this also goes for Advertising Companies. On top of that, the only data that should be allowed to be retained in that which is needed for service of the customer.
In Belgium contacting a poerson that is not a customer is very tricky and in most ways, not possible. It is only possible if there is a (business) relationship between the two. Otherwise it is basically a no-no.
Also selling of data is extermely restricted.
e.g. if I buy at the supermarket, the company I buy from will not know who I am the next time, because they are not allowed to retain the cardnumber. They get the transaction number. The Credit Card Company will see where and when I bought something, but not what.
And in Belgium the Card Companies are not even allowed to run a analysis on where people spend their money (some other European countries DO allow that) to make e.g. an offer for people using the card mainly on the Interwebs.
I know it is a very socialist idea of putting people before companies and it will never happen in the US. What do people think? That the US government (who makes the laws) is there for the people by the people?
Some people will say "Screw you" no matter what. If you are an employee, you will need to adapt in some way or another.
That does not mean that you should not treat them like human beings, but asking people to work certain hours, just like the rest, is not that unreasonable.
Obviously we do not know what was going on, but I doubt that was all that was an issue. Most of the times there are more things that are going on.
It might be interesting, but that does not mean it is better if you want to win.Many do play not because it is interesting, but because the result of their game makes them money.
And if a boring game makes them more money, that is what they are willing to play.
Where I work we often need to call people to, ah, remind them they are behind in their payment. We use both call avoidance and show who is calling. Because some people will pick up if they know who is calling and some will pick up if they think it isn't us.
(That besides those who either never or always pick up)
The results between using a number and not using one is about 50/50 in the results.
Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. 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. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
(Man, this is more insightfull and scary than funny. Especially that last bit.)
An hour to get to New York Manhattan. Not just the airport. You must look at the door to door time it takes.
What is the time you leave home? What is the time you arrive at your destination? e.g. if would go to Paris, when I look at flying time, it would take 55 minutes with a plane from Brussels to Paris. By train it would take 1:31.
However I do not live at the station nor at the airport. And those will not be my destination. Say I would go from my home in Leuven to the Eifel tower. Flight: Taxi to the airport : 20 minutes (If there is traffic, make that an hour) Time before departure : 1 hour Flight 55 minutes. Getting out of the airport : 15 minutes Taxi to the eifeltower: 36 minutes Total time: 3h06 without any trafic. With trafic, add 1 hour easily.
Train: Walk to the station 5 minutes Train from Leuven to Brussels, change to train to Paris and arriva in Paris: 2:00 Bublic transport to Eifetower : 35 minutes Total time:2:40
So even now the train is already faster. And these trains "only" drive at 320. I also have taken a taxi, instead of parking and loosing extra time for that and picking up a rental car.
To compare: by car it is 3 hours and 20 minutes. Yes, I am aware that other people do not live 5 minutes walking away fron the train station. Yes, YMMV. The thing is that you need to look at door to door times. I have not even looked at prices. Lowest price I saw to Paris was 29EUR (31.13USD)
And if you are interested, I could be in London in 3h30

Perhaps not paper, but why not have an Android and an iPhone version? e.g. Pilot has the iPhone and co-pilot has the Android.
That way not a lot of extra weight is added and there is redundancy.
Obviously updates never should be done at the same time, but with at least one week in between each of them.

They both signed it, so I blame both. That is unless you can show me that one was forced, which would mean the contract is null and void.

What about "There is no God" or "There is a God".
Where do you draw the line?
So they are a taxi with a better service? Still a taxi.

The goal is to make money; not to play.
And the younglings like to stick it to "the man". So Assange is one who "Sticks it to the man" and the youth likes that.
Just like the younglins in the 60-ies, who are now the oldies.
The ones that gives them the most money. This means neither of the two you were talking about.
What about the kids in a public park? Or when to walk into MacDonalds? Or Disney? Are they allowed to kill the other kids them?
Not good enough. They will meet the other kids at Disney World and other (semi-)public places like public transport and the park.
I would say: If you don't want your kids vaccinated, they won't be your kids anymore. Problem solved. (We could give them to the gay community)
Where I work we often need to call people to, ah, remind them they are behind in their payment. We use both call avoidance and show who is calling. Because some people will pick up if they know who is calling and some will pick up if they think it isn't us.
