Number 1 reason cassettes were popular: you could record to them yourself. Vinyl ruled most of the 80's. Cassettes allowed you to make your own mix tape for home, walkman or car. Prerecorded cassettes never came close to vinyl sales, except maybe with truck drivers, and I bet most of those were 'best of" mix tapes.
The Federal Communications Commission has reached a preliminary conclusion that AT&T is violating net neutrality rules by using data cap exemptions to favor DirecTV video on its mobile network.
Some people don't care about the perks at work. They do nothing for my wife and kids. I go to work to earn money, not free food, parties and keggers. Just give me the money instead.
I could have sworn that last Friday Comey said the investigation of these newly discovered emails would take months. Also, did they determine how they ended up on Weiner's laptop.
Assange did say that he thought Clinton could be prosecuted with some of the upcoming leaks... but he also hinted at something big being released at the wikileaks 10th anniversary broadcast which turned out to be absolutely nothing.
In other news...
People who buy premium digital Monster cables at Best Buy report higher satisfaction than those who buy generic cables from Microcenter.
All countries, including the US, already have input into ICANN. Check out ICANN.org to see how they work and what is being changed.
The Dept of Commerce is not renewing their contract with ICANN so oversight reverts to ICANN itself. The Dept of Commerce has been "hands off" with ICANN for 20 years. Only once have they taken action, blocking the.xxx domain. So we are not "handing over" anything. Unless you consider a government agency that takes no action as something that can be handed over.
ICANN, a US non-profit corporation, will continue to operate as before, taking input from the same companies and countries.
NTIA has had oversite of ICANN for about 20 years now. What have they done in that 20 years? They blocked creation of the.xxx domain. That's it. So what will we be losing?
Back when I was working at a call center (processing credit applications for several different companies) we had access to credit reports. If we looked up someone's credit report that was not applying for credit, it was immediate termination. I couldn't even look up credit reports for people that had the same last name as myself. If that situation came up, we had to transfer the application to a different service rep.
Years later, I worked at a hospital. They had similar restrictions and consequences regarding patient records due to HIPPA regulations.
Don't be sad. The tide is turning. Laws are starting to get passed against forfeiture. We have the mechanisms in place to end these kind of practices. Please note that these laws are coming from state legislatures, not federal.
All my usb drives contain my "medical data", protected by HIPPA privacy regulations.
Seriously, HIPPA regulations are probably the strongest data privacy regulations we have in the US. I'm surprised that they haven't been used by shady lawyers in cases like this that require large scale privacy intrusion with no probable cause.
When you download via BitTorrent, each bit of the file you get from seeders/peers comes "directly" from that person's computer. They just record the IP address and verify that what they got was indeed their content.

This explains what happened to me after the eclipse last summer.
BS. You can volunteer to overpay as much as you want and the govt. will take it all.
It's a pre-paid service. Not sure how you would add hidden fees to pre-paid.
Computer security expert leaves laptop in car overnight. Sounds more like a computer security amateur.

140% of almost nothing is still almost nothing.

Can you please explain how "No charges for access" is different from this?

Well, there were replicants...
and that's pretty much where the movie diverges from the book.
Maybe this one will actually follow the story of the Philip K Dick book the first one was supposed to be based on.
126 million users with 7000 complaints... I'd hardly call that freaking out.
Funny, Drudge Report has the exact same headline for this story, word for word.

Trump originally attracted a following last year because he was the only candidate that clearly supported enforcement of our southern border.

Not more than judges, court proceedings and the law.
They could put ads in their page's html instead of using javascript.
BTW, Reddit does what you describe and calls it "sponsored content".
