Perhaps, I haven't seen it yet, but after hearing Pitbull's cover of "Africa" for the film, and then very desperately wishing I could un-hear it, I'll probably wait to see Aquaman after I'm dead, if I end up in Hell -- or if I become deaf between now and then.
I'm not particularly tied to any brand of superhero - I've watched most of the Avengers stuff, and a lot of the DC stuff.
For some reason, I tend to enjoy the Marvel movies more than the DC movies - don't know why. Perhaps it's the tone of the movies or simply the stories and characters. In any case, I usually wait for the DC movies to come out on TV to watch them, and I don't tend to re-watch them.
In either case, the movies "Captain America: Civil War" and "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" annoyed me because (for one reason) the main conflict could have been avoided if the characters had simply talked and listened to each other. Of course, I realize that this would have made for much shorter, less dramatic movies, with way less CGI... Character 1: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."... Character 2: "Oh, okay."/film.
Of that number, about 1% are going to be able to figure out this incredibly intuitive procedure. Yeah, this solves the problem.
Well... It gets easier when your first instinct to any Firefox "feature" announcement becomes: Google "firefox disable [feature]"
It's on open display, in an unlit basement with a door marked "Beware of The Leopard", at the bottom of a locked file cabinet. Really, I don't see how there's any problem at all.
When it comes to Firefox, the word yellow is always wandering through my mind in search of something to connect with...
At this point, Trump is just trying to fuck as much shit up as possible before he's exfiltrated back to Russia in a submarine and lives out his life in a dacha paid for by his sponsors.
You just pitched Season 7 of The Americans... Well done tovarich.
I'm sure in a few years they could easily have a device to quickly 3d print the fingerprints onto some form of glove or something.
The Mythbusters did this a few years ago using a photocopy of a fingerprint stuck to their finger as well as using other methods. Perhaps the scanner technology is more sophisticated now, but I'm sure it can be still bypassed by less than casual attempts.
What will Disney offer for $10? Their own stuff, with perhaps a bunch of 3rd party content... I won't pay $10 a month just to watch the latest Star Wars movie and perhaps a handful of animated features.
Looking at the Di$ney Channel lineup, they also have a lot of live action shows for kids (pre-teen and teen). Perhaps they're hoping to directly capitalize on families with children.
If it takes him 680 pages to document "conflicts of interest", I have to think there is a lot of smoke being blown to inflate that page count, and probably not much fire.
CNN also reports on a GoFundMe campaign started by an Air Force veteran [Brian Kolfage] to simply crowdfund the construction of the wall. Though 340,747 people pledged over $20 million, it failed to reach its $1 billion goal, and is now pointing supporters to a newly-formed non-profit corporation -- named "We Build the Wall."
Guess who sits on the Board of Directors of this new non-profit and will probably get paid to do so? Yup, Brian Kolfage, along with his team including:
Erik Prince, an American businessman known for founding the security firm Blackwater (he is also Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' brother), David Clarke, the former Wisconsin sheriff known for expressing controversial views on immigration, and Kris Kobach, the former Kansas secretary of state.
People getting refunds from the GoFundMe campaign will be contacted via email and offered the opportunity to donate to this new "501(c)(4) non-profit Florida Corporation named 'We Build the Wall, Inc.'" -- which will probably *not* be refundable (which will be nice for Brian and his team).
NBC News reported that Kolfage, who was associated with websites that published false stories and had pages shut down by Facebook, claims to have gathered 3.5 million email addresses through his border wall campaign.
Those addresses, NBC News reported, have allegedly been used to encourage people to support Kolfage's websites, to buy a coffee brand he owns, or to be stored for future use by conservative campaigns.
Lindsey Lowery, a former staff writer at the now-defunct conservative website FreedomDaily, shared a text message with NBC News in which Kolfage discussed his email harvesting plans.
In the texts, Kolfage told Lowery in September 2017 that "we can make our own [petition] through the website to steal/collect emails."
In December, I received a mobile data alert from Verizon that we only had 1 GB left on my data plan. This wasn't surprising since I had been commuting via train to downtown Chicago and had spent about an hour each way on YouTube for a week. What WAS surprising was when I checked what had been using the data, Facebook had used more than DOUBLE the amount of data than ALL OTHER APPS COMBINED, including YouTube. I don't check Facebook during the workday either.
There's a per-app setting, (under Settings->Apps->Data Usage->[app] -- on Kit Kat anyway) to "Restrict Background Data" that disables background data on mobile networks for that app. The app can then only use mobile networks for data while running in the foreground (ie: you're actively using it) or when connected via WiFi. It's an OS setting so the app can't ignore it.
The best user experience is by definition that which is what the user wants to do. And this is obviously not it.
Furthermore, how does being unable to delete (uninstall) the Facebook app, "give the consumer 'the best' phone experience right after opening the box."? That logic may have some weight arguing for it to be pre-installed, but none with regard to being able to uninstall it.

Aquaman was probably one of the better DC movies.

Oh, right. Not until January 1, 2024 -- well, sort of -- 96 years after he was created..

Update your "about:config" settings or edit your "user.js" file - problem solved.

Ya, but, contrary to their name, Large Hadrons are actually really, really tiny. :-)
When "The Nuclear Option" is a good thing.
Because publicity.
Because they tried AT&T's 5Ge and the patient ended up with a limp.
This fee is said to help pay for Verizon's anti-spam efforts.
Said the company with $32B in net income (profits):
Verizon net income for the twelve months ending September 30, 2018 was $32.258B, a 102.54% increase year-over-year.
Seriously, how much could anti-spam efforts cost them?

Did you read the document AT ALL, or are you summarizing it from a position of ignorance and quoting Hamlet via wikipedia like a moron?
Stop trolling /. Martin, you're in enough trouble as it is :-)
[ And I was simply summarizing and commenting on the parent's comment, not the actual issues. Sorry if that was unclear. ]
Honestly you're better than this.
You must be new here. :-)

Reminds me of the (literally) hundreds of Tweets I've seen from some idiot saying something about "no collusion" ...

Okay. No more coffee for you this weekend.
Good with fruit filling or for snorting coke - not much else.
Can't wait for Bird to send letters to the South Park creators for all the E-Scooter episodes in Season 22, like The Scoots ...
An actual desk. Four legs unfold from the bottom of the laptop ... Pretty fancy if you ask me.
