Not really truthful. VRE goes out to Manassas and Fredricksburg. The Silver Line is being built out to Dulles. That being said, the system is going to have issues if Amazon is putting that many jobs in Crystal City.
You don't if you buy gift cards. In fact, after the last hack, I didn't trust Sony with my credit card info, so all of my payments I made on PSN were through cards.
I've gotten plenty of requests from recruiters on LinkedIn, so it certainly has been useful for me for that. Can't say I've found a job that way, but it is one of many tools. It is also useful to keep track of people I used to work with, to see where they are now and if I need to contact them again in the future. Otherwise, I rarely go on the site, other than to update my profile.
The OP makes the mistake of adding anyone who requests. I personally only add people I know, or recruiters I want to do business with.
I think it is pretty simple what happened: The Internet happened and cheap streaming. For most people, it doesn't make sense to buy CDs when the vast majority of music is available online for a relatively low fee. Many of the audiophiles have gone back to vinyl, tho given that much of modern music is recorded digitally, it is probably missing the point.
For me, I still buy CDs, but most of the time they get ripped once and gather dust as I listen to my music on more convenient mediums.
Actually, there aren't. Most of them have gone under. FYE is one of the few left, and the one near me cut their CD section in half. The only major chain that still carries CDs is Barnes & Noble. Really, the only option is buying online, and even some of those storefronts are struggling.
You know that the Web is more than just social media and online shopping sites - right?
As Google, Facebook and Amazon have gobbled up more of the Internet, this is becoming less true. Back in the day, remember the concern people had over Internet Explorer and the influence Microsoft had? Well, Google controls how most people find things on the web and a browser that controls how they see it. Amazon hosts a large percentage of web sites through AWS. Facebook is the dominant social network where people communicate with each other. Now that Net Neutrality is dead, ISPs now can control who goes over those pipes. The concern is real.
Those who mock unemployment have never been on it. It requires you to report on a weekly basis your job search activities. If you receive an offer and turn it down (because they lowballed you), you need to be able to justify that it wasn't a legitimate offer. Also, what you get is a pittance, hardly enough to live off of. For me, it didn't even pay the bills.
I was glad to have it, since something is better than nothing, but it isn't exactly free money. (And oh yeah, you still need to pay income tax on it.)
I think it is only recently that they have started to be regularly in stock in stores. In any case, the holidays are a different story and is often when consoles see their biggest sales. Better make sure you don't have supply problems then.
Not more convenient when my parking space is on the opposite side of the parking lot from my townhouse. Until they put in charging stations in my townhouse complex, or they find a way to quick charge these cars in 5 minutes, electric cars just won't be practical for me.
Just to correct some errors in your assumptions: First, while contractors write the bulk of code for the US government, it is all work for hire and owned by the government. Second, even much of the software written for the IC is not classified. Most of the time, it is the data that it processes that is classified.
As someone who has worked as a government contractor for years, duplication of effort between agencies is a big problem, one which the government has worked hard at trying to resolve. This is a good step in the right direction.
Unfortunately, the options for a dumb TV are limited to non-existent. Just about every TV worth a damn nowadays has Smart TV features. Best you can do is find ones that least get in the way of the functioning of the TV and plug in your own stuff.
To be honest, I think this TV looks overpriced for what it is. That being said, if it is like the regular Fire TV, you will be able to sideload applications onto it, so there is that at least.
Funny that they keep going back to Amanda Palmer for these stories, when the real pioneers in crowd-funded music is Marillion, who started doing it way back in 1996 for tours, and 2001 for albums. If you have a big enough fan base, you can probably can do something like this.
The article reflects current thinking that building highways through cities were a bad idea. Take Atlanta, for example. Three interstates go though the city, and congestion is horrible, not to mention that it is an eyesore.
I disagree. I think members of the same team should be located together, rather than isolated in private offices. That way, if you need to bounce an idea off of a teammate, all you need to do is to turn around and talk, rather than having to get up and look for them.
The best teams I've been on worked pretty closely with each other, and often identified bad ideas before they got too far.
This is why I'm glad I have a car with Android Auto in it, so I can hook up my phone to the car and get the information on my screen. Now, if Google will hurry up with the Waze support that they promised earlier this year....
I think you misunderstand what the OP was talking about. What he's saying is that the IRS has enough information that they can calculate taxes for most people and it wouldn't require them to file. This is done in other countries. Reference #2 in the following link:
Course, the problem there is when "skilled and well qualified people" = someone like me, which is often white men. It isn't always intentional, but it has been shown that such biases happen.
Because I live in a townhouse and I have a limited amount of room for stuff. Books take up a tremendous amount of space. Digital books help fight the clutter. Also, when I travel, all I need is to carry one slim device rather than multiple books which also take up space.
As for price, I rarely buy books from Amazon for full price. There are many sources for cheap/free books out there that I am not going to have a strong need to spend a lot for books for a long time.

My LG G4 doesn't have a Facebook app. Nor much shovelware as far as I can tell.

What does it matter when none of those three really deserved to win? IMO, Arrival was the most deserving and it won.

Here in Northern Virginia, it has been pen & paper for a while. Haven't seen a voting machine in years.

Looking at the CVE database, the top three OSs with the most vulnerabilities on the list are Linux distributions.

Just because there was a high profile attack doesn't inherently make one OS more insecure than another.

Nope. They may have changed lead singers, but they have continuously made albums. Look them up sometime.

Except that they don't. Studies say that more roads leads to more traffic, which leads to more congestion.

Trump is only interested in what makes him look good. Anything that benefits anyone else is only a byproduct of that.

Alt in Windows brings up the menu bar, which I think the OP was suggesting would bring back the functionality you were missing.
