Well, screw/. because I just lost my entire post by switching the format to plain text, so here's a summary:
Prime has other benefits, but they keep lowering them.
10+ year Prime member. Been buying since 98 when they sold books. Past 2 months I had packages 'lost' or 'damaged' in transit. Upon the 3rd complaint (I don't regularly complain at all, even when packages are late), they escalated me to a supervisor, at which point I had to explain that all the items that were lost/damaged in transit were the only items in the past few years that I've actually requested 2 day delivery for, and they were supposed to be delivered by *THEIR OWN DELIVERY COMPANY*.
So, I was close to being banned from Amazon for mistakes they made. They couldn't even replace the product (their own 4k Fire TV Box) because when it wasn't delivered, it was $50 than when I ordered it.
Mind you, I do roughly 400-700 orders per year with them (business and personal, and only when they are cheaper), as well as send them referrals through my site.
At my day career, we were (repeatedly) assured by one of their AWS reps that we wouldn't be charged for X services. 2 weeks later, we were billed several K.
They are really doing a great job of shooting themselves in the foot lately.
I'm not going to comment on Ford doing this because of Trump or not, but I applaud them regardless for being the only major US based vehicle manufacturer that didn't take a 'bailout'. I hope this works out for them.
(Yes, I own shares of Ford, and even if it costs me a bit more, I'll be buying cars from them in the future simply because they *didn't* F up)
Most companies have a policy where anything you develop on their time is their property. How does Mr. Zheng plan to work around this? Or is Google different?
American Express is phenomenal. There are times where I have to work the late shift and end up buying something random at 4AM. Initially, they'd text/call to confirm the purchase, but after a while, they learned my (nonexistent) patterns and haven't blocked any legit transactions. Even when hours away from my home town (vacationing), no declined transactions.
With that said, they manage to figure out which transactions are fraudulent, and block them, all without inconveniencing me.
If only AmEx got into the antivirus/malware/IDS/IPS business...

BTW. I'm surprised so many of you in the US have plans around $60/month. I pay 14 euros/month for basic service, but it's plenty enough airtime. Isn't that the proper exchange rate nowadays anyway?
I heard about this story where these guys were getting screwed over by their job. So they came up with a plan to steal from the company, but where it would go unnoticed. See, every financial transaction had fractions of a penny associated with it. They take those fractions of a penny and deposit it into their own accounts, through a program that my super elite hacker friend of my sister's friend wrote. I heard they ended up with over a million dollars in a short period of time.
True story. I think they even based a movie off of it.
Maybe you can do something like that?

The article gets it wrong too, but HIV is not the same as AIDS. Both patients were 'cured' of HIV (not AIDS). https://www.webmd.com/hiv-aids...

So, is he going to strictly use duckduckgo and CloudFlare's 1.1.1.1 DNS service?
I'm sure this came from NVIDIA's coffers, too.

Not a Note 7. It was a Galaxy Core: http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news... Possibly aftermarket battery?

I prefer Ghostface Killaaaah from Wu-Tang. More stories about him?

Thongs of mindless assholes...
I bet it didn't take you long to figure out that those thongs were full of shit.
Now they'll have more threesomes than anyone...
How about they bring back the Other OS option, or promise to never ever EVER again introduce their own proprietary media? :)

See?
My coworker sits right next to me. He's not distant at all, and still trolls every comment I post.
No, but close... It attacked another car, and there's some images of what may be hookers. (Possibly NSFW) http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/darpa-urban-challenge/robot-car-crashes-into-manned-vehicle-whered-you-learn-to-drive-316645.php
