the vast majority of films don't need to be watched more than once.
Spoken by an Anonymous Coward who obviously doesn't have children. My six-year-old boy is on what must be his 863rd viewing of his Angry Birds movie DVD.
No, the cheapest test for whether something is viral is telling patients to never go to a doctor until after they've been sick for 10-14 days.
Are you nucking futs, Anonymous coward? I'm currently on penicillin treating strep throat. I went to the doc after 2 days with a sore throat. Pus on my tonsils was a bit of a giveaway. If I'd waited 14 days the infection would be in my ears and I'd be battling rheumatic fever...
The legacy carriers need to massively reform, particularly United.
The *are* reforming. The majority of the flying public have made it clear that the most important thing to them is low fares. They'd love blankets and pillows and hot meals and leg room but they're not willing to pay for it - They just sort by price in Expedia and book the cheapest option.
So United and Delta and everyone else are reforming to meet that need: They offer a rock-bottom product with no services, and then allow people to buy the services they want, a la carte. Want leg room? Buy up into Economy Plus. Want a hot meal? Buy it off the menu. Want to check a bag? Pay $X. Indexed to the cost of fuel + inflation, you're still paying less today even with all the a la carte items than you were 25 years ago.
Most Android devices stop receiving major updates withing a year (if they ever even get an update)
What're you talking about? I've had a Samsung Galaxy S5 since 2014.
It shipped with Android 4.4.2 KitKat and has major updates and is now running 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
Purposely came to the comments section to read all the "Yeah? Well the USA is *way* worse than North Korea!" posts from Anonymous Coward nutjobs who wouldn't survive for ten minutes in North Korea.
The Viking Landers only weighed about 1200 pounds, so you were able to bring them in via parachute, firing retro thrusters at the end.
By contrast, the Lunar Module weighed 34,000 pounds.
...and any craft you landed on Mars would likely weigh tons, between the crew, the fuel for the ascent... We just don't know how to safely land a mass of that size on Mars.

It is also how my kids watch "The Lego Movie" in the minivan.
(Over and over and over and over again...)
I can only get dial up here. It takes me 10 hours to download a 10 MB PDF.
10 hours? Even at 28.8 you should be able to get 10 megs in under an hour...
Check his DNA. He's still a male, regardless of whatever the surgeons did.
The personal pronoun refers to her gender, not her sex.
So while at the 'DNA' level she may still have male sex attributes, her gender is female, so "she / her" is appropriate.

Have you seen their latest effort in the race to the bottom (sub-economy seating like Spirit)??
You mean by copying what Delta rolled out three years ago?
https://pro.delta.com/content/...
The services are the same as Spirit - United's 'seating' is exactly the same as it's been for years.
This is Jet Blue, not United.
United has had free streaming movies for some time now. Only exception is the 737s that came from Continental that have DirecTV.

- Insert obligatory Slashdot 'electric vehicle' responses here -
[Response 1: My commute is 300 miles! As a result this electric vehicle is useless for everyone!]
[Response 2: Some electricity is coal-generated! As a result, in all jurisdictions, this car is more polluting than a 1973 VW Microbus!]
Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, isn't he? Beautiful plumage!

You know who aren't worth a f***? Anonymous cowards.
In USA they do exactly the same as NK
"Exactly the same?" Are you deranged?
Read this and tell me which parts are exactly the same -

Was not disappointed.
If Microsoft would only introduce the Boot Country Club feature, which would allow a Surface to run OS X, then they would have a contender.
Microsoft will happily sell you a Windows license and lets you run it on any x86 hardware you want.
Same can't be said of Apple and macOS.
No one ever has been looking for a Chromebook.
"No one," Anonymous Coward?
This thread is full of examples of people who are happy with their Chromebooks.
Still cheaper to get the DVD from the library, though.
The problem with DVDs from the library is they're almost always scratched and unplayable.
Yesterday my daughter took "Minions" out from the library. She started to watch it this morning. Played 45 minutes then stalled out, frozen.
It's disappointing how much people mistreat library DVDs, but they do...
For most consumer goods the largest 'sunk cost' is the labour to put it together. Prices on consumer goods have fallen due to -
- Automation (= fewer labourers)
- Outsourcing labour to put the thing together to lower-cost jurisdictions
That applies to both the thing itself, and the components that make up the thing.
But the bulk of Americans would probably support it...
Until the price of their latest 4K TV doubled, then they'd scream blue murder.
What people conveniently forget is how expensive US-made consumer goods used to be.
Here's a 19" color TV from the 1977 Sears Catalog.

$1700 in 2016 dollars.
Only cowards censor.
True, but it doesn't mean that censorship isn't effective, at least in the short term.
but it fits not at all into my workflow
I felt the same way, then I bought a Surface and started using it, and I realized how useful and intuitive it is.
I'm writing this on my first-gen Surface Pro, which I bought in the summer of 2013 - It's still going strong.
Three years on, how can Apple still not have a touchscreen and stylus on their computers?
Oh, that's so annoying. Can make the systems run so slow that it's effective in thwarting the bad guys by making them fall asleep
1995 called. They want their your out-of-date stereotypes about security software back.

Let the oil and mining industries figure it out.
Even Harry Stamper needed NASA to get him to the asteroid.
