What she meant to say was, "customers who unsuccessfully opt-out of Bell's new program"...

... shut down the existing detoxification assembly line and set up a new one that's way more efficient. And they created super tobacco plants.
They made the detoxifying process way more efficient and made super tobacco, which is probably more toxic.
Wonder if smoking it will give you super cancer?
Given how the chinese treat IP; isn't this a favor?
Basically they'd build the reactor in china, and within 2 weeks the plans and technical details would be 'appropriated' by the Chinese government.
Basically all that R&D wasted. Just because they aren't shooting at us (yet) doesn't make them an ally, or even a remotely-friendly country.
On the other hand... Nuclear power isn't really something that the Chinese can build cheaper there for sale in the US; it will be used locally. Their use won't undermine use in the US. Wouldn't better, safer nuclear power be better where ever it's used than older, less-safe designs? In this case, sharing the IP doesn't really sound like a bad idea. Perhaps R&D can be shared for the benefit of everyone rather than hoarded for extra profit by some.

Check out this for user.js -- Firefox configuration hardening tips. I pulled some from here and others from simply Googling "firefox disable ____________" after a new release when some dumb crap -- I mean feature -- was noted in a review somewhere or in the Release Notes.
My Home and New Tab pages are set to be a Blank Page. In addition, all the Firefox Home Content check boxes are unchecked - as is the "Recommend extensions as you browse" item. Furthermore, these things are specified as disabled in my "user.js" file -- along with a *bunch* of other crap, like Pocket, etc...
... I just can't bring myself to be upset about the shutdown...
Perhaps if the shutdown involved Congress and the White House -- after all, they actually haven't done anything productive. But regular people, just trying to do their jobs and pay their bills, are now caught up in this -- over partial funding for wall almost no one wants (or cares about) and DHS says we don't actually need. Even Trump tweeted, on Dec 20, 2018 (last fucking week), that the Border is currently "tight":
With so much talk about the Wall, people are losing sight of the great job being done on our Southern Border by Border Patrol, ICE and our great Military. Remember the Caravans? Well, they didn’t get through and none are forming or on their way. Border is tight. Fake News silent!
And, contrary to what he might think (and I use that word generously), the military really had/has nothing to do with this.
You will be able to stay with that robot for 49 days which is the period of mourning after the funeral in Japan.
After which, you get a doll that looks like the robot and you can stay with that for 49 days while you mourn the loss of your robot... After which...
I'm not sure how this is a good idea. Now you'll have memories of your relative and the robot mimicking your relative mixed together at a very emotional time and I can't imagine that being a good thing on the long run. Perhaps if you have things you needed to say, but didn't have the chance to, this would give you your audience, but I know from experience that you can always do that by yourself. My wife Sue died of a brain tumor in January 2006, just 7 weeks after diagnosis. Thankfully, we had that time together to spend our last Thanksgiving, 16th wedding anniversary, Christmas and New Year together and she, literally, died in my arms. (Of course, now this time of year really sucks for me.) And, even though we were able to say what we needed to say, I still think of things I want to say to her. I say them now anyway and try to remember them for when I see her again.
If you have problems getting lost, you should try a full size map. They are usually available in printed on paper format and they are foldable. You unfold them when needed and they give you a bird's-eye view of the whole area.
Steven Wright has one of those...
I have a map of the United States... Actual size. It says, 'Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile.' I spent last summer folding it. I hardly ever unroll it. People ask me where I live, and I say, "E6".
For nights like New Year's Eve, the deposit will be like in the "rent a helicopter" scene in the film "Clear and Present Danger":
Jack Ryan: I’m here to rent the Huey. Helicopter owner: We don’t rent it anymore, but it is for sale. Jack Ryan: How much? Helicopter owner: Two million dollars. Jack Ryan: Uh, my pilot and I will have to take it for a test drive. Helicopter owner: Of course, you just have to leave a deposit. Jack Ryan: How much is that? Helicopter owner: Two million dollars.
You're apparently one of those people who buys a phone. You're doing it wrong, you're supposed to buy a lifestyle to impress the people you meet who buy into marketing.:)
I bought the Kyocera Hydro Vibe in 2015 because nTelos (originally Primeco) sold their spectrum in my area to Sprint and they said my original phone -- a Qualcomm QCP-1900, I bought in 1998 -- wouldn't be supported on their network anymore. I switched to Ting (which uses Sprint) because the cheapest Sprint plan was $80/month. I only spend about $15/month with Ting. (I don't use my phone that much.)
As for the other part... The only person I cared about impressing was my wife Sue, who died in 2006, so I don't worry about that stuff anymore.
It only runs 4.4.2, so it's EOL is in 2019. How usable will it be once Google starts cutting off its services.
I don't really use the Google (or any) apps that much, but thanks for the info; I'll keep a watch on that. I imagine it'll still work fine for most other things...
... water resistance (a jack can be just as water resistant as a USB port)...
Case in point. My Kyocera Hydro Vibe (that I bought in 2015) has a headphone jack and is "Certified waterproof for IPX5, and IPX7. Immersible for up to 30 minutes in up to 3.28 feet (1 meter)." Also comes with a user-replaceable battery and FM receiver that works with NextRadio. Sure, it only runs Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) but it does what I need it to using Ting

It was from a young man, probably in his early 20s. He had one review but it was terrific....

I think it actually means "Eventually" - kind of like how "Forever" in "Duke Nukem Forever" actually meant the release schedule.

In the US, they probably would be legally responsible -- for aiding terrorists, helping to evade sanctions, or some other technicality.
