Probably so. I would imagine it'd work. Again, it works for electric utilities in the US. What we have now, in terms of ISP's in the US, are truly awful.
I still buy CD's regularly. Luckily, I've got quite a few local retailers that sell an awesome variety of CD's, at much better prices than Best Buy.
That being said, good for Best Buy. Best Buy customers are the bottom of the market (the poor, the unsophisticated, and the uneducated), and I would imagine that very few of their customers buy CD's any more (as evidenced by their CD sales). I doubt these people are buying CD's anywhere else, either. I agree with them that most of their customers just stream everything, and quit caring about hearing music in the context of albums or sound quality decades ago (if they ever did).
What the hell are these investors investing in? This is a company that sells $10 bills for $5. This is one of the stupidest business models I think I've ever seen (and I'm kinda' old).
Are there any better DVD rental services out there? Netflix's DVD selection has been steadily declining to the point where half of my DVD queue is "unavailable".
There have been many. What happens is they get flooded with people from 3rd world countries, willing to do the work for pennies an hour. If you want to work as a "gigger" for tech stuff, then you'll be competing against people from Vietnam willing to do the same fork for $1/hour.
Next time you got to Best Buy, Frys, whatever, why don't you take a look at the competition?
I have looked. I've got some physical limitations that require me to look at all kinds of mice. The only other maker of mice that I've seen is Logitech, and theirs are all covered with tons of buttons for games. I'm not aware of any other mice manufacturers that aren't cut-rate Chinese junk.
I have to say that Microsoft makes the best mice on the market, as far as I can tell. I've got I think 4 different ones. Some small, some full sized. Some really wacky, like The Wedge. In an age of cheaper, cheaper, and cheaper, Microsoft seems to be the only maker of quality mice.
Speak for yourself. I would like a pocket-sized laptop to be able to do work on. I don't care about "apps" or games or TV or whatever most people do with their phones today. A pocket-sized computer would be very cool because it would be very useful.
Everything that's called "AI" today is just advanced pattern recognition. I hope that the/. editors quit using the term "AI" so frequently. It's a dumb thing to do for a "news for nerds" web site. You might as well talk about "cyber", if you're going to continue to use "AI" for things that are clearly not "AI.
You're the first European that I've ever heard of that was exiled to North America. What the hell did you do?

Leftists literally say "punch a nazi" (meaning their peaceful political opponents, not actual nazis) and mean it, and nobody cares
Oh, go fuck yourself. I gladly say "punch a Nazi" (and I will). Who are these "peaceful political opponents" you're talking about? These fuckers, who murder people? Charlottesville NazisTrump Nazis?These evil fuckers. Where are these "peaceful" Nazis that you're talking about?
I don't know if you know anything about history, but our country was at war with Nazis less than a 100 years ago. We, as Americans, did a whole lot more than punch Nazis. We killed them. Millions of them. They deserved it. Nazis today definitely deserve to get punched.
IT people are highly paid. If they're not, then they're in the wrong career. Take a few months off between jobs or something. "Burnout" is only a problem if you've got no other options. Otherwise, it's a life choice.
The American people spend millions every year for their own personal eavesdropping devices that they keep in their pockets, their pocketbooks, and their bedrooms. I think that saying that Americans don't care about their privacy is (somehow) an understatement.

All free email providers read your email. That's why it's free, dummy.
Oh, stupid AC troll. Internet access needs to be 100% regulated, just like our electrical utilities. It'll be cheap, and it'll work.

You're right. Better stick to Google Maps. There are no strings attached to using Google Maps.

How many times has Obama's Twitter account been deleted compared to Trump?
Huh? How many times has Obama called people names? How many times has King Orange?
I will admit that pure capitalism and socialism don't work. A blend of them seems to work the best, though.

He isn't funny
Wowsa. I bet you're fun at parties.
John Oliver is great at attacking straw men.
I think he's great at attacking real men. I'm not aware of any straw man arguments he's made. He addresses a real, actual issue on every show.
Why should you be able to sell anywhere with impunity? Maybe national web stores are not a sustainable small business model.
Exactly.

Ok, dude.
Your property taxes are crazy high because you have no sales tax.
That's exactly my position, as I've told you over the course of over a dozen posts.

Speak for yourself. There are some people who don't have a price. I'm sorry that you do, and can't even imagine that some people don't.
