You have to wonder what ailes Fox as even they wouldn't renew her contract.
I'm not sure how true it is, but I read somewhere that Palin didn't rate, or her viewership figures were dropping really fast, so Fox offered her a really low number on her next contract so that she wouldn't sign, then they could all just pretend it was a mutual thing.
I know you're being funny, but there really is a war on sharks, and the Chinese are winning.
Every year they kill something like 100 million sharks, although as there is an awful lot of illegal fishing, the figure could be twice that. If that rate of slaughter continues, one of the oldest types of animals in the Earth's oceans will become extinct in our lifetimes.
According to Wikipedia, sharks have been around for something like 420 million years, which makes them hugely successful. One of the few creatures older are the Jellyfish, so I wonder what will happen to the Jellyfish populations when the sharks are gone?
Sorry, one of my pet hates, and I'm ranting a bit now.
I read the second link, mobipicker.com and it comes across as written by someone with English as a second language, and not particularly good English at that.
It's also full of unfounded speculation:
At the moment, it seems likely that if Pepsi ever made a phone, it would possibly be something that attracts young people, perhaps something sporty or equipped with a special camera. We are well-convinced that the phone would definitely have the Pepsi logo, maybe on the back, and probably come in a dark blue color.
I wonder if you might have misunderstood TFA. Google are not manufacturing cardboard at all. They have released updated specs so that anyone can manufacture their own cardboard VR spectacles.
I find it hard to believe that in 2015 US Packaging cannot manufacture cardboard in a clean manner without damaging the environment. Other companies have been doing it for years.
If you think our governance is not hopelessly corrupted by money in politics, then I've got a bridge you might be interested in.
Oh, politics is corrupted by money. But that's still better than being corrupted by behind the scenes dealings, government propaganda, and party machines, which is what you get when you limit campaign contributions by law.
Seriously? You have behind the scenes deals, government propaganda and all the rest as well as a hopelessly corrupted system.
The US political system is hopelessly corrupt, and has been for a long time.
I read posts online all the time, like the ones above trying to point to some outlier or other that somehow proves that the US is a democracy.
The truth is that you are governed by a wealthy elite who run the joint for their own benefit. The whole Republican/Democrat divide is just a smokescreen, they are interchangeable.
I wonder if change will only come at the barrel of a gun.
The British Army discovered the same thing in North Africa in 1940, that's why the LRDG (Desert Rats) had a lot of New Zealanders.
They tended to be country boys who had grown up fixing things, especially truck engines, so when they broke down in the desert they had a chance get moving again.
While you're right about streaming, I wouldn't worry too much about this service:
To use GeForce NOW you'll need an NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV, SHIELD portable, or SHIELD tablet (with the latest software updates installed) and a SHIELD-approved 5GHz router.
Exactly. This proves that the idiots at FACT don't even understand the piracy they claim they're fighting.
No-one watches stupid phone camera copies of pirated movies.
My Grandfather was in Italy during the war and ended up in Trieste
He like the Italians, and learned to speak Italian quite well, so that he could order wine for his unit. His take was that Italians pretty much wanted everyone to go home, they generally had no interest in fighting.
His view may have been coloured by the fact that his unit, (the New Zealand Division Signal Corps, so not front line troops) took a lot of Italian prisoners during the Middle East campaign.
The people who did the study suggest that we should find a better way of classifying these drone-related situations so legislators have accurate information from which to design regulations.
I think the people who did the study have missed the point then. The point is that the FAA want to regulate drones, and so they need data to the support the need for drone regulation.
Accurate data might prevent this.
Before I took the job I'm in now I interviewed for several similar jobs and on a few occasions was more or less told not to ask what the pay was until after I'd signed up. Did not take those jobs
I also saw a job ad for a web developer who needed a master's degree, 5 or more years experience in long list of webby type things, spoken and written Mandarin and English and the willingness to work shifts. All for $25,000.
I often wondered if they got any answers to that ad and if any of them didn't contain swear words.
Yeah, I made the mistake of trying to use a Pi as a desktop PC too, it's really not for that.
As a Media Centre though it's awesome. Also a timelapse camera, and a digital photo frame it's great too.
All Theocrats seek absolute political power though.
As far as Iran's nuclear ambitions go, if I ran Iran I'd be seeking nuclear weapons too. They are surrounded by enemies, and at least one of them probably has nukes.
Is what it may be, but if Lexmark, (or more likely an industry group) lost this and decide they don't like the outcome they will purchase the correct laws through campaign contributions.
I was wondering this myself. It sounds nice, "National Happiness" and all that, but I wonder how they treat those who dissent.
On the point of Buddhist Theocracy, I am always a bit surprised that people have such a positive opinion of the Dalai Lama, as what he wants to return that country to is exactly that. Why would a Buddhist Theocracy be a good thing, but a Muslim Theocracy (for example Iran) but bad?
I made the mistake of applying for one of these. Exactly right, "We work hard and play hard around here" and so forth for an hour or so while the HR drone dodged my questions about what the pay was, until she couldn't fudge any more.
I didn't laugh until I got into my car, but only because I was shocked at how little they offered and how much they expected.
I really don't see how they filled that job at all.

Sounded plausible anyway.
It would be hilarious if Trump won. I'm a bit disappointed he's not talking about Sarah Palin as a running mate. Comedy Gold.

They were Journalists from the Reno Gazette-Journal. This looks to me like neither side is telling the whole truth.

No, you misunderstand. The system you have is hopelessly corrupt, you're just arguing semantics now.

Best of both worlds

I tend to think of economics more as religion than science.

So no-one will be using this service.
They only know words that can be typed with one hand... I'll let your dirty mind figure out why
I'm guessing industrial accidents.
Exactly. This proves that the idiots at FACT don't even understand the piracy they claim they're fighting. No-one watches stupid phone camera copies of pirated movies.
Try calculating it as ROI on campaign contributions and you might get a clear picture.

Really, who cares? Trump's in it to win it and popcorn futures are tapped out. This idiot's got less chance than Palin at winning the Golden Ticket.
are you seriously advocating for voting for trump
No, he's advocating voting for Palin.
