If he is married, $70,000 puts him in a federal tax bracket where his long-term capital gains rate becomes 0%. He is doing this to pay 0% taxes on his stock that he cashes out and any other investments he has.
Some guy got his home streaming accepted as a "Service" by T-Mobile despite being the only user by filling out all their reams of paperwork. They don't discriminate against any music provider to my knowledge.
Samsung's benchmarks apparently can't be trusted until you wait 60 days. 840 EVO performance tanks on data written a long time ago. And Samsung has been very slow to respond to these complaints. What's to say this one won't do the same? I would choose the Intel model to be safe.
It sounds like they solve this problem by buying a Netflix subscription and a VPN subscription.
And a NZ version of Netflix just started, which actually has better content than the US (just less of it). They have things like Frozen and the first 2 Hobbit movies, which aren't available on US Netflix.
He never answers YOUR prayers. He answers mine quite a bit.
The Bible says, "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." James 5:16
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us." 1 John 5:14
in that instance, the church was part of the genocide.
And the above quote is even more egregious. I don't recall the 18th century pope saying, "Go kill all the Indians". I don't even recall any religious figure saying it. Political figures and opportunists, yes.
I don't know why Columbus always gets dragged into this. HE didn't kill anyone. In fact, he greatly regretted the inevitable genocide that he saw coming.
FCC, all by itself, asserted its authority over the Internet, which they have no statutory authority over.
With the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Congress gave the FCC the power to: “promote competition in the local telecommunications market”.
Communications Act of 1934, Title II, the second subsection (202) clearly states that common carriers can’t “make any unjust or unreasonable discrimination in charges, practices, classifications, regulations, facilities, or services.”
Using #1, they classified ISPs as #2. Seems OK to me.
If anything ever convinced me to be even less of a Republican than I ever was, it's this. They're dead to me now. This completely breaks the internet, which I use every day to make a living. How anyone could be this wrong about something is beyond me.
San Diego has the cleanest power of anywhere in the whole US. They currently get over 25% of their power from renewable sources such as wind and solar and 67% from natural gas. They burn ZERO coal or oil. They are the model for the whole US.
I disagree. Bitcoin has major value in sending money worldwide without fees. Also, it can be used with only a cellphone and an account. Bitcoin could revolutionize 3rd world involvement in the world economy without the blockades that banks have traditionally put in their way.
Right now, Bitcoin is the only way to send money to Wikileaks or mega.co.nz. If you believe in free speech without the government bankrupting foreigners even before a trial just because the banking industry or the MAFIAA doesn't like them, then you should be pro-bitcoin.
Yeah, it has to be his idea. So start with modding something that he likes, like Minecraft. If my parents tried to force me to learn programming, I definitely wouldn't be doing it today. Fortunately for me, they didn't understand anything about computers, which allowed me the freedom to learn it on my own.
Yeah, yeah, we know. Windows and Mac are terrible and Linux is so much more "stable".
Scanning for networks failed No networks found
the de-facto wireless GUI on Linux...was broken for my machine because it thought my wireless card was disabled
Meanwhile, my mouse is the most frustrating issue
Resume has been flakey...I never closed my screen because I didn’t trust it would come back. Sometimes, it would come back, but Gnome wouldn’t let me login!
For a while, the laptop speakers never worked after a reboot until I plugged something into the headphone jack, and then removed it
One time I was building LibreOffice while it was on a blanket and it overheated and charred the bottom. When doing CPU-intensive work, I now place this laptop on a metal plate
There are 4K videos on Youtube, but they are extremely jittery and suck all the CPU as the GPU is not being used
It took hours to render these 3200×1800 Arch wallpapers
[The mouse] use[d] to jump violently all over the screen while typing, but now it just hovers in small circles
In spite of my problems, I’m very glad I don’t need to mess with the Windows or Mac world.
Unfortunately, such advanced battery features are not yet enabled in Linux
OK, so let's see. Other than the network card, mouse, 2D graphics, sound, CPU, 3D graphics, battery and the fact that normal usage melted it, it works awesome. I think I'll stick with Windows 10 TP on my laptop, where I've only had minor network issues requiring a reboot to get it back sometimes.
I got all those things too. Let's see how it worked out:
Health management/healthy food - They introduced me to the food pyramid, which is loaded with carbs and makes America fat. And I've since learned that it's so politically motivated that it cannot be trusted. I gained 100 lbs over 10 years trying to follow that crap (and got high blood pressure and nearly diabetes) and then I threw it out, started cutting my carbs and lost 70 lbs in 9 months and am not taking any medications anymore. Massive fail.
We had a whole semester of economics as a senior. I learned to balance a checkbook (which I haven't used in years now) and we learned about saving and investing in stocks. Pretty useful.
Relationship/child raising - We learned about sex ed, but I learned far more about proper relationships from church. And we carried an egg around, which is surprisingly effective in my opinion. Learned mechanics at school, learned wisdom at church.
Politics - We learned to be patriotic. We learned about the branches of government and the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I've since watched my government take away almost all of those rights. We were taught a lie.
Environment - I was told a whole bunch of lies and horror stories about the environment. Not one of those predictions have come true, despite us not doing a thing to prevent them. On the other hand, we've reduced smog, we take greater care with hazardous substances and all around have made the environment cleaner and safer.50/50.
Exactly, my friend who was a finance guy was complaining about the drudgery of the spreadsheets he had to do every week. He spent 35 hours just moving data from one column to another and one spreadsheet to another. He took programming class with me, so I told him how to open up VBA in Excel. The next week, he spent 35 hours coding instead of copying and the week after that, his whole work for the week was done in 5 minutes. This allowed them to give him more work and he automated that as well. He rose up quickly because he was getting so much accomplished.

Sony's network hacks were repeatedly done on long-known vulnerabilities.
And when rocks are given to a lab for dating, they shouldn't be given a "date range" that they are supposed to fall within.
The fish don't seem to mind.
Yeah, I find Aristocats to be far more ethnically insulting than Song of the South.

Exactly. I am VERY good at Scrabble and with a lot of work I might be able to be world champion. But for what? Why bother? It's not worth anything.

They are paying Netflix AND a VPN provider. They are paying extra compared to the USA.
My cousin buys all her discs from an American import store. Imported American DVDs ($50 NZ) are usually cheaper than standard NZ DVDs ($60 NZ).

Does anyone have a link for this?

It ceased to be fun for me about the 2-3 time I played it.
Give me Scrabble!
