I live in the "capitol" of Europe (Brussels), and random outages, phone-lines randomly swapped around, regular drops in connection speeds, and max option is 100/15 MBits (seems recently upped from 50/15).
Unlimited data, unless you use more than 100GB/Month, then there's add-ons or throttled to 5Mbit.
Phone+inet+IPTV is delivered via copper (from a box down the road), and you can see the wiring dangling off of buildings even in the more well-off areas.
Oddly enough, when perfomance drops, visiting Speedtest.net brings it right back up.....
You should see the amount of times people have explained to me that they can build a gaming-PC that's both higher-specced and cheaper than PS4s/X1s... and then immediately start on about how a GTX1080 is faster than either.......
I still like my idea of shipping everything returned to Germany at full price plus shipping, all to be covered by Germany. Who could oppose that - especially when the good people of Germany are demanding to control what Amazon does? Step up and do your duty.
I'm confused - do you think Amazon Germany should NOT be subject to German laws?
but some executive somewhere couldn't stomach the idea that employees might benefit from free miles when using their corporate cards
Different places, different rules, but if you (privately) get miles from using a company-booked flight, might be subject to tax on those miles, and company may have to do paperwork on it.
I'm going to skip answering most of the replies, since they seem to be people insisting on missing the point, but around Storm/Ororo Munroe, think of it as the difference between Storm being a supporting character in the X-Men movies (really) and an Origins movie for Storm, depicting her past growing up in Africa, and finding an identity.
One doesn't bring much new to the table though it lets some people see someone that looks like them in a hero-role, while the other lets a large group of the people around you celebrate a shared culture, past, identity, and do so through-out the movie - it becomes about themselves as a group, because of the way it's centered around the title character.
That's part of what Black Panther is, that no other movie is, at least for 1 segment of society, and I'm personally happy that Black Panther does this for them. (and something that Blade in no way is able to reach)
Note: There was a reason I suggested giving that podcast a listen - TJ, one of the hosts, explains it a lot better than I can ever hope to do:)
The notion that it's the first actually-hero movie, where the lead is a PoC, matters.
Blade, Spawn => anti-heroes Steel, Hancock, Blankman => comedy movies
Optionally check out latest episode of Comic ShopTalk (part of Rated-R podcast), where one of the hosts covers this pretty OK (and also nerds out completely, yet again)
Agreed. So long as he hasn't broken the law it should be up to viewers and advertisers to decide.
Advertizers did decide - they decided to leave YT, as long as this dickhead was allowed to be a dickhead on their bucks. YT is now deciding it doesn't like not making monies.
I should mention I'm basically repeated what's been in the news, primarily in DK. There was a larger effort to look at sex work some years back, incl a look at the effects in Sweden something like a year after they introduced those laws. And yes, it was at the time absolutely reported that the numbers went up in DK as a result of the changes in Sweden.
If things have improved since mid-2000s (not following the news there as closely since I left), good on them.
Slashdot Mirror
how much of that bottle has leached into you so far?
Just never utter the word "Passport", no matter what Mary McDonnell tell you.
GMail supposedly can do the same : add +@gmail.com should work
eg scsirop+facebook@ ....
Mag-rail launch system! :D
Yours isn't? Weird.
I live in Europe and I get 300MBs symmetrical with 5ms ping for $30 a month. It's fiber all the way to my router.
All speeds measured and confirmed: http://www.speedtest.net/resul...

And $500 for a gaming PC is cheap.

Norway exiting the Eurovision Song Contest would cause a crash in the critical violin-industry.
I'm in Belgium - 95% (at least) of all calls are spam.
Spam-call filtering is an add-on service by the service provider. It looks to be a source of revenue for them (both the spam-calls and the filtering).
I see a civil war happening.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.
Roger Stone, Trumpy advisor, already warned that getting rid of The Donald would result in Civil War.

eh ? I've literally never seen that on Netflix.
They don't have hotdog stands? What 3rd world....wait, where I live now the hardware stores also don't sell hotdogs.
I miss Scandinavia.
Shit - if I keep my current phone for 4 years, it'll have cost 2.5€/ear.
(9€, sim-lock is illegal here, stayed on exactly the same service-level as before)
So'eh, Oslo-Trondheim, via Helsinki?!? That makes fuckall sense
Yeah, I've traveled half the planet, and know several different words for Tea (incl Herbata) not based on Cha/Tea
And gold is pretty which makes people desire it.
Gold has cultural significance, which makes people feel a need to buy it.
Coming to headsets etc? My headset already integrates Amazon Alexa, and it doesn't _quite_ work...
Odd, I've seen PS Move players absolutely own regular players in PS3 shooters due to the added precision and flexible control.
Hows the drinking water in Michigan these days?
