GetSimple may not be the best CMS in general, but it fits the bill for me, simple and fast, with a comprehensive set of features that keeps growing, good and fast support (most of the time) and no database.
Simple to install, simple to manage, simple to update, and very fast.
Broad choice of themes that are easy to customize.
I converted a text-based site to GetSimple in an afternoon.
I cannot say in detail how it compares to the big CMS you listed, but I can tell you that the learning curve is not nearly as steep (I tried two of them), and I do not feel that I have handed my life to somebody else.
Bought a Samsung 65" smart TV last year, it was about $1,500. Very nice screen, but the browser is excruciatingly slow and no longer plays Flash. The apps are OK (Netflix), but I do not have as many apps as I can get through other streaming devices.
I have plugged a $39 Fire Stick in it and it plays 90% of what I want to see. For the other 10%, I can always plug my $200 Chromebook into an HDMI socket, or use screen casting from my phone.
To the extend that I can, my next TV will have HDMI, screen casting and USB, but it won't be otherwise "smart. It's better to keep the "smart" into whatever you are going to plug in the TV. It used to be a TV would last 15 years. Of course, nobody wants that...
"You can't take away a monopoly status that wasn't granted by the government. I.e., you can't just "take away" a defacto monopoly. To do so, you'd have to force other companies to compete."
Look how long it's going to take our congress to shut that down. Can't be so unfair to the medical device manufacturers and eat into their large profit margins...
"Yes, paying $18 per month "rental" for a $100 device really sucks"
Totally agree, even more so considering that when integrated into the TV, the cost is probably more like $20. I looked at SAM's Club over the week end, and the "smart TV" versions of otherwise "non-smart" TVs in the 40" range cost about $40 to $60 more for the "smart" TVs.
The hardware for a smart TV is more than capable of dealing with the cable data.
Another advantage of having the hardware integrated into the TV as opposed to a set top box (even a universal one) is that you only need one remote.
That is where you are wrong. All you need is the information from a debit card and you can drain any account completely dry, owner being alive or not. It is called "incoming debit electronic transaction" and you are presumed to have authorized it by giving your debit card number to someone.
Yes of course. I had a closed account that was charged almost a year after being closed via a fubared electronic transaction and the bank still expected me to pay even though I had not been their customer for almost a year. It took me 3 trips to the bank and many phone calls to get them to drop the case.
I was told you cannot close an account, ever, for merchants. When you "close" it, you only essentially tell the bank that you no longer want to get statements, and they will stop charging you the monthly maintenance fee. Also, if you do write a check after "closing" the account, they will deny the payment (I guess that is bank dependent) but in all cases you will be charged an overdraft fee. Once you open an account, it will be there for life and even through death it will be passed to your heirs.
They apparently have no mechanism to filter an incoming electronic debit request when the account is closed because they keep the account number in their logs. Closing an account is not "deleting" an account.
When you give to Trump's political campaign, you are being overcharged, no matter how much you give and how many time.
Now, if you give for the entertainment value, you get back many times what you give.
Now you know.
Did not want to get into this thread, but I can only recommend the Moto-X 2nd gen. I have lost count of how many phones I have had, starting with Blackberries, various Moto Droids, an iPhone 4S and now the Moto-X. There are several iPhones in my family (5C, 5S, 6 and 6+ so I am somewhat familiar with those, in addition to my personal experience with the 4S), While I generally like Android better than iPhones, over the years iPhones tended to be smoother (no jitters), just work (particularly with email) and have better battery life while offering fewer options if you just wanted to have a little bit of fun with your phone (why not?)
The Moto-X changed that. It feels smoother than my wife's iPhone 6+ (she has almost no apps installed other than those that came with the phone), gesture controls are actually very useful and well thought out and Motorola phones don't have as much crapware as other Android phones (still more than iPhone though). My wife still beats me with battery life (she charges her iPhone every 2-3 days if she thinks about it) but the Moto-X 2nd gen lasts a full busy day and I am perfectly happy with that (I must add that I am on 4G all day, I have unlimited data and do not connect to my employer's wifi neywork). My wife's iPhone 6+ skips briefly when you rotate a video from vertical to horizontal, my Moto-X does not (on the same program). That was a surprise..
The Moto-X definitely made me a qualified Android fan. Everything happens instantly, the phone has never crashed or needed rebooting in the month since I have had it. Finally, Motorola phones stay in your hand better than any other and don't hit the pavement as much because of the texture on the back. Talk to somebody who owns one.
You could do much worse than get a Moto-X 2nd gen.
At least it looks like the HIPAA data was not leaked. That is probably due to the HIPAA regulation and if so, they did work, so let's not throw the baby with the bath water.
My concern about Windows 10 on the RPi and Microsoft being interested in the platform is that before you know it, the RPi will have a locked bootloader because Microsoft demands it and suddenly, they own your RPi.
That I think is the reason why people should not run Windows 10 on their RPi. It's going to give Microsoft bad ideas.
"Speed limits should be based on science, not on, "Whatever speed the driver feels is safe enough.""
Exactly, that's why roads should be designed so that people are safe travelling at a speed that feels right, no some artificial limit that may not be intuitive.
Of course, there may be temporal exceptions such as school zone and road work.
If roads were designed scientifically, there should be no need to look at a sign to know what is a safe speed.
Problems come up when the speed limit is not intuitive and some people follow the arbitrary sign, and some do what feels right.
" Yes, we won't be able to add money to our accounts, redeem codes, or buy updates. But so what. We'd still be able to play."
That's the problem. They don't really care if you play. The game is only a pretext for you to spend more money. If you have no way to spend money, the game does not matter to them.
I mean this in the best possible way. As someone who has hired a lot of STEM (mostly E) people over the years, it will probably not be easy.
When hiring technical people, we look at education and experience. Depending on the age, one or the other takes greater importance.
At a (relatively) young age of 25, education is the most important. Your education does not qualify you for a STEM job, simple as that.
Now, a number of jobs can be had based on personal relationships. Let's say you have a special skill not reflected by the degree(s) you have, but someone you know is aware of it and in a position to influence someone in a hiring position, you could get a hearing and if you do have skill, you may get a chance at a job.
My understanding is that at the moment you do not have marketable STEM skills, so the only way is to get some.
You can try to do that while holding a job you are qualified for. It will take a while because it will be night school but at least you will get paid while doing it. You won't have too many free nights but not so much debt when you are done.
The alternative is to go student full time, pile up more debt but hopefully get done faster.
Which way to go depends on your personal (family?) situation and the kind and level of pain you are willing to endure.
The woman ALWAYS has the last word in an argument. Anything the man says after that simply is the start of a new argument.
I applaud your trying to satisfy her desire for a neat, tidy and quiet living space in a constructive way. Obviously, even if the PC is tucked away and inaudible, there may be issues later if you spend excessive time playing with it and ignoring her.
So as others have suggested, make sure you understand that life as you know it is no longer available to you and that it is urgent to find activities of common interest.
It would be best for you if these activities involved a highly powered computer, something she may find she needs, like maybe video editing (time to be creative). Once she sees the PC as a tool rather than an annoyance, the noise won't be as much of a problem and she may even let you play with it, occasionally.
I think part of the problem is that marketing types decide that they need a certain type of phone to get people in the store, in order to try and upsell them on a more expensive product with better margins (or one that will suck up data faster so that you have to upgrade to a more expensive plan).
The "feature" phone (in that case, a phone with hardware keyboard which is a real oddity nowadays) is not intended to make any money for the company by itself and nobody really gives a damn if it's even working, to be honest.
They are perfectly aware of it and if you bring it back to the store a few days later because you have found out how much it actually sucked, they will be extremely glad to exchange it for a higher priced model.
On the other hand, the issue is compounded by the fact that most Android phones are hacked by the phone service provider. They are not content to let you have the Google Android experience, they have to "differentiate" themselves from the others, and too often that means adding ill-conceived, substandard, undertested apps that ruins the experience.
In that case, Google may not be entirely clean as I am not sure if Android is even supposed to support a hardware keyboard. I have used several Bluetooth keyboards on my Nexus 7 and they do not all work the same.
The key is that the insurance company has no incentive to reduce your premium, their only incentive is to increase the total sum they get from premiums as much as they can.
Therefore eventually these devices will not be used to help good drivers, simply to penalize bad ones, not quite the same thing.
Seems like a lot of people die from heroin overdose that is self injected. It can't be that painful if people do that to themselves. Why not use heroin overdose for lethal injections?
Let's summarize: Oracle took money to perform a job. They disagreed with the way it was handled. Nevertheless they stayed in and kept collecting money. Now they say they had noting to do with it?

How did they get it in the first place? Probably through my employer of course.
Of course, they do not even acknowledge it on their FAQ any more, that was quickly removed.. Now it only says "employment information".

I would think 20 XEONs for 3 months should get close (or at least used to), but these machines are optimized to move packets, not number crunching...
Yeah, probably the most sensible thing to do considering the short time frame.

Replying to my own question, found out the iTune store uses WebObjects, a NexT technology that is not open source.
Mac OSX is (was?) based on the Mach microkernel for instance.
How about the iTune store, does it use open source software?
Oh wait, they can't afford it, it's not in their budget...
