For the longest time I couldn't even see anything in prime deals. Took over an hour to get that fixed.
Now I can see them and add stuff to my cart. But when I try to check out, I get the error screen telling me to go back and go to my cart again. I do so, but have to sign back in before it shows my cart. Get the cart up, click to check out, and get the same error page again. Lather, rinse, repeat. For crying out loud, Amazon, it's not your first prime day. You have no excuses for screwing us over like this.
"Three years ago the couple pledged to give away 99% of their net worth within their lifetimes."
Hey, there is an easy way to do that EVERY YEAR. There's is a line on your 1040 form that lets you pay as much extra tax as you want. I dare them to put that 99% down there and stop bitching about how the rich don't pay their fair share.
"Hate speech" is just a symptom of Newspeak. If you Control speech, you control thought, for good or ill. The Constitution guarantees the Freedom of Speech, not Freedom from Being Offended. While deplorable, we can't control how others think. It's the act against someone, not the speech, that should be criminalized.
I got two emails today letting me know that it appears that my Arris NVG510 UVerse Residential Gateway is infected. Since the gateway is locked down and I'm at the mercy of AT&T to push firmware updates all I could do is reboot the RG like they said.
Otherwise, I have two options: Jack and Sh*t, and Jack left town.
And PLEASE DON'T SUGGEST to change my ISP. My only other choice is Charter and they are no better.
He's just keeping his mouth shut so he doesn't say anything on the record that can be used against him in a criminal and/or civil trial. It's the most important thing your lawyer tells you to do when you are in deep trouble. Few people actually follow this advice. Apparently he is.
... Asus leans into its copying by calling Apple a "Fruit Company" repeatedly. If you're going to copy the iPhone, at least have the decency to avoid trying to mock it."
That's probably done more for avoiding Apple's knee-jerk response of suing anybody who dares mention their name when making comparisons to their products rather than mocking.
"Some experts have said police agencies need to take the phenomenon more seriously and provide formal training to dispatchers and others to better recognize hoax callers."
I was a 911 dispatcher for 8 years and I can tell you this line is 100% B.S. You can NEVER treat a call like a hoax due to liability issues. I don't see the "experts" risking jail time for blowing off a call that was real. One of the first things you are taught is that lives are depending on how fast you can get the appropriate help to them in an emergency situation, and if you had a duty to react and fail to do so you can face CRIMINAL charges.
Long answer: MS and Apple will never let anybody play in their playground that will take away market share. 100% compatible Linux is such a threat to their bottom line. If they have to, they will require the OS to be "always connected" to call in to verify it's on their OS before getting permission to run the software. Their gaming platforms needing it just a prelude to this.
The IBM PC moved us away from mainframes and in the last 10 years or so the "Cloud" is moving us right back to it.
I, for one, welcome our new OS overlords. All Hail Saint Bill and Saint Steve and their Infinite Wisdom!
Meanwhile, the call gets routed to the PSAP. It uses the address of the closest tower to find out which correct PSAP is supposed to answer.
Having worked 911 for 8 years, I can vouch for this. And you have no idea how PISSED people get when they get connected to the wrong 911 center and have to be transferred to another one. I worked for a county 911 center here in the Atlanta Metropolitan area and the centers here (when I worked there) were only connected to the surrounding centers. I actually had to relay through THREE centers to get them to the correct PSAP, either through a really long distance connection or the cell phone tower misrouting the call.
I am so glad I don't have to put up with that anymore. It was hell enough a lot of times when it was had to be transferred to the next county over. And if there was a major accident on the Interstate the phone lines would go crazy.
This has been done since Submarines were reliable enough to do so. Hell, surface ships were pulling up submerged cables to put taps on them around a century ago.
You Millennials are so cute thinking you are the first to think of an idea and act on it.
They have. As soon as somebody figured out you could use submarines to do this to underwater cables and not get noticed doing it, both sides started from the early telegraph lines, to phone lines, to internet. Everybody who can spies on everybody else, even their friends. Remember the old Russian saying, "Trust, but verify."

Just wait for the next major crossover to occur and we'll find out his death has been retconned.

And even at that slow rate, they keep adding things to web pages that make them worse rather than better.

Well, then the Earth is nothing but an untold number of billions of asteroids mashed together. Time to downgrade Earth!

I'm wondering if he went to a Muslim college you'd make the same remarks?
In two more years the BBC should rebroadcast the entire series from the beginning.

Or, "Don't fight the SJWs, you ignorant swine. They are your betters."
Everybody knows that what they should have done was fake the results like every other company does.
Let's have something inspiring - what SF used to be!
We do. It's called The Orville.
Most used. Yes. Most popular? Debatable from what I've heard from users lately.

But next is REQUIRING the tracking data to be completely loaded and executed first. Can't let that ad revenue get away, don't you know.
