If it only gets down to +10F in the winter time, you're not very far north. Maybe consider insulating your house better? I pay half that with electric heat, and my parents running propane pay ~$400 for the entire winter...in a location that frequently gets down to -40F in the winter.
The problem is that having internet is getting to be more and more necessary to be able to function in today's society. No, someone living in a rural area doesn't need world-class theater or subway, but they do need options other than:
*1-2 MB DSL (if they can get it)
* Dialup
* Satellite
* Nothing
When they're talking slower hurricanes, I understood that to mean the storm cell itself was traveling slower (loitering longer), and not referring to wind speeds. So an island that gets hit has hurricane winds/rain/surge for 15 hours instead of 7 hours (for example numbers pulled from air.)
Why not treat Russia as a friend, make common cause where possible?
Because they're not. The Russian government has very different ideas of what should happen in the world than the US.
If "enemy" is too strong a word, use "adversary" instead. Look at Russia's history of human rights, look at the nations they consider "friends," take note of the extreme nationalism of Russia, look at their farce of an electoral process.
Not quite. What net neutrality is trying to accomplish is not allowing Comcast (in this example) to throttle Netflix down to 100Kb/s and making it useless while Comcast's own content streaming service gets the full deal. Or to have Netflix traffic count against a consumer's data cap while Comcast's service is "free" against the cap.
Comcast traffic, Netflix traffic, Fox News traffic, Youtube traffic, whatever it is should be treated the same way. Comcast's job as an ISP is simply to pass traffic regardless of origin without preferential treatment based on who the company likes or who has paid a "toll" to get premium service on their network.
I'm British. I wouldn't be able to tell you that year. Or when the Battle of Waterloo, or the English Civil War was. I really couldn't care. I wouldn't even expect an historian to know, except roughly. But I'd expect them to be able to find out from multiple, independent and reliable sources. Gosh. I wonder what tool they could use for that?
Soooo, what you're saying is that a historian shouldn't be required to know history? I hope you're holding doctors to higher standards.
Make inmates wear tamper-resistant collars with a grenade attached. They mess with the collar, they get blown up, and so does anyone else that was messing with the collar. Also make it so that the collars can be remote detonated. Someone escapes a California prison and goes to Maine? One phone call, and the felon's body gets ripped to shreds.:) Bonus points if his or her family members also get blown up.
Someone's been watching too much Running Man. Where are we going to find a sufficiently sadistic game show host for phase 2?
It couldn't be that it's harder to find full-time jobs or that the full-time jobs keep having fewer and fewer hours (36.5 hours was the average full-time job last I saw.)
But no, we're all at home playing video games. I wish I had gotten that memo!
What do Scott Walker or Paul Ryan care about American jobs or the middle class? The only thing they're interested in: does it make them or their friends richer?
I'd rather read about genetic modifications of mammoth DNA and elephants to try to reintroduce a species than see yet another phone/tablet/phablet story personally.
There's more to be geeky about than just programming languages. Biology is cool. CRISPR is cool (and slightly scary).
But ok, lets talk about how awesome vi is. Emacs is for losers. Am I doing it right?
Senator Wyden has been against government snooping from the beginning of him being in office. He's one of the few politicians with any scruples at all IMHO.
Slashdot Mirror
Because in the current Senate if it doesn't:
1)Give a tax cut to the rich
2)Install a conservative judge
Then Mitch McConnell won't even bring it up for a vote.
Not to be contrarian but:

Wow I wish I had mod points for your analogy. +1 for you sir

Out of mod points today, so +1 for you, sir.
Or maybe have an MI6 bot campaign spam-post swimsuit pictures of Teresa May to his personal timeline until he complies.
And it's British things like this that led to the Eighth Amendment...
I don't see anywhere in the summary or the article (such as it is) about them being "audible" ads, just that ads will become more frequent.
I'd say that parent post was correct, adblock and carry on.
Just finished Little Dorrit (Dickens)
Just started Master and Margarita (Bulgakov)
The Once and Future King (T.H. White) is next
1 week paid leave, which is better than quite a few people in the US who get no paid leave at all.
This is what I used for the eclipse and I can see just fine afterwards.
It will not go away if you install Chrome.
It could very easily be both, if his ego is as big as I've heard.

We oppose them because they need to be opposed.

It stems from a British English belief that "mathematics" when shortened should retain the ending "S."

Try installing the optional patch KB3172605. It solved the Win Update running and running for ever problem for me at least.

Because now we're so risk-averse we can't even let kids play in the park by themselves without the parents getting arrested.

Woosh!
