The stated goal of the OP is to flesh out the resume not to learn anything.
The goal of most students at the University is to get a degree so they can get a higher paying job than packing Amazon packages (1). So who cares what they teach you? Just pay the price for the degree and move on. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just pay for the degree without all the classes? Oh, they have that too! They are called online Universities. They just need to work on the speed at which they give you what you paid for. Why wait the year or year and a half that the online University makes you wait? Why can't they just hand over the degree when you hand over the money?
(1) This assumes the student is not majoring in liberal arts in which case a job that requires you can ask "You want fries with that" is probably in this student's future.
This isn't dial-up Internet service. Why is everyone complaining that users should use broadband instead of dial-up?
Tivo came along before broadband was popular so the method of getting program data was to dial-up directly to Tivo to download that data. This was the only method on the first Tivos (series 1) which stopped being supported in 2016 when they changed the guide data. Your Tivo would dial a Tivo number in the middle of the night and download program data.
This announcement is mostly applicable to series 2 Tivos which could fetch program data over the Internet or by dial-up directly to Tivo. I'm sure they have so few of these things connecting that it will not affect many people. These Tivos are old. They can't even do 1080p and had analog tuners. The owners of these have been told you can still get program data you just have to do it over the Internet now.
I was notified even though my series2 has not fetched data for 10 years. It has a lifetime subscription so Tivo notified me just in case. Tivo is one company that actually supports really old hardware. They are not any Computer company that that tell your your computer is not supported after 3 years or a handset manufacturer who tells you that you can't get updates to android after two years.
Agreed. It is the story that got me to create an account and quit being an AC. Probably the most important/. story for/. as it made/. a real place on the internet and really got them enough traffic to start the./ effect that was so famous for a while.
Keeping some information secret can also "compromise our nation's security". For example, if the TSA is incapable of doing its job, keeping that information secret isn't in the national interest.
Well, part of the security theater is keeping the mysteries of the theater alive. If you tell how the special effect works, it isn't so special anymore. The special effect here is that this is all just a waste of time and resources to make the feds have a bigger budget. There is no security here other than the theater.
Comparing a country to a continent is only valid if Australia is involved.
Your comparison is ridiculous. To use a car analogy, since every comparison should have an equal car analogy, you are comparing engines to cupholders and thinking that people won't see through your idiocy.
It doesn't show up as a multimedia file. If the person you are chatting with doesn't have iMessage, it sends as a regular sms or mms.
I think the mm in MMS stands for multimedia. This has to be downloaded and is indeed a picture of an SMS message. It is white text on a black background. I ONLY get this when the iPhone is sending to multiple senders. Otherwise, I get a plain text message. The bad part is when the group is big, it is hard to keep up with the messages as it take the phone a while to download the MMS messages.
I knew/. had certain technologies that can't be criticized but it is strange to see the truth modded to flamebait.
It works seamlessly to those using an iPhone. To everyone else, it seems really stupid that you are sending text messages that show up as multimedia files. To anyone on an android phone, you are sending a picture of your text message. It is typical that an iPhone user would not know that though.

Agree completely.

Next thing will probably be outlawing 3D printers.
Only the high capacity fully automatic ones. They will let you keep the single print manually operated ones.
Gavin Newsome is probably already drafting the legislation now.
Sounds like they did a better job producing cars than Tesla. At least they had some rolling off the assembly line. . . .
All others are imitations of this best ever email client.
That is all of us. All Californians are angry. Wouldn't you be if you were taxed like us?
Agreed. It is the story that got me to create an account and quit being an AC. Probably the most important /. story for /. as it made /. a real place on the internet and really got them enough traffic to start the ./ effect that was so famous for a while.
Can't believe it wasn't mentioned.

And here goes years and years of good Karma. Does Karma still matter on /. ?
His Hellmouth piece was great and brought some geek issues to the forefront and got some issues talked about in normal non-geek circles.
I joined /. because of Jon Katz and the Hellmouth piece.
Not all of his work was good. In fact some was quite awful but it always inspired conversation rather that what we now have here.
One space or two after a period?
Sorry wrong crowd :P
(and don't you heathens dare say one)
It is two when using a typewriter. :-)
Nope, If the route is longer than expected. Say construction detour, uber will recharge the passenger.
How the heck are they going to afford the ebook reader?
This is a great plan Obama. Bully businesses to do it since you can't get socialism officially passed through Congress . . . Yet.
An exploding kitten should win. And the winning illustrations have already been done. http://www.amazon.com/101-Uses-Dead-Simon-Bond/dp/0517545160
This should be good for the drought in California getting snow in Mammoth. :-)

Yep, you are right. I did forget the air quotes around "permanent".
Upload it to one or several Google accounts and you have a permanent searchable archive.
I agree. This is not an apology.
Like I said before, /. is a text medium. Leave it alone.
This isn't You Tube. When I want videos I go to You Tube. When I want pr0n, I go to a pr0n site. When I want News for Nerds I go to /.
to a text based discussion like /.?

Messages to a single person seem to come through as normal text messages. Try sending to a group of people.

The creator of /. has been slashdotted? Oh the Irony.
