Just newer/prettier. I haven't seen a newer verison of something be faster in a very long time. And no the ui wasn't broken before.
I have to point out that even in windows 10 half the settings are in a touch screen style ui and the rest are in a windows 7 ui its terribly inconistant.
I don't dont know what article you read but everything ive found has been sparse on information. I don't have any idea her reasoning behind it failed justice is implied but not enough information was given to reach that conclusion.
Spotlighted? They are just after a story but maybe if there had been some coverage of whatever happend before all this this wouldn't have happened?
Inappropriate sure but without realtime monitoring and a significant added delay only so much can be done and its not cost effective.
Well its France I had assumed that they had better mental healthcare than we do here in the US but that may not be the case. How many seperate parts of the system failed for this to happen?
On that matter does anyone have a write up on the events that led to this? It sounds as if there were more than a few missteps along the way. Also I don't feel periscope as a service has much of any responsibility for it.
If it saves you $8/day assuming you have 1 day off/week 365 - 52 = 313 * 8 that's a savings of $2504/year
The highest estimate I found was about $250/week for a rental car so if did the math right you could take 10 1 week trips a year in a rental car with the price difference.
Each trip is 500 miles round trip? so let's assume 20 mpg =25 gallons of fuel @ $2.00 gal $50 brings it to about $300/week for rental
Still good enough for 8 1 week trips/year after accounting for fuel. Accidently take 1000 mile trips ? 7/year.
I only get the chance to take a trip that requires an overnight stay anywhere 2 times or less/year and pretty much never lasting longer than 1 week.
How did owning a vehicle win out on road trips and ad-hoc trips? Do you take that many or am I missing something?
If I wanted my vehicle to smell I would take the bus everywhere.
I don't think people where I live have cars of their own because they need them they have them because they don't want to have to share with someone who hasn't bathed in the last month.
Rental cars are decent but often need to be cleaned between drivers.
Shared vehicles might fall into a niche area somewhere in between but I doubt it would affect vehicle ownership here much.
I new verson of something like paperdisk http://www.paperdisk.com/index... would be neat Ive always wondered how much extra data you could store if you used colors too.
This has actually been discussed here before. The manufacturers seem to have a pretty good idea of how they want to do it. So at this point I don't see insurance being any significant hurdle.
There are only 3 news meta sites that i am aware of. News.yahoo.com News.google.com News.bing.com
Yahoo has sponsored stories about every 4th story Google seems to have left their aggregator to rot as it is now picking up all sorts of stuff in the summarys savesaved. Bing I hate to say actually has the most bs free ui for news.
Anymore I wonder if you just printed out a copy of the onion if people could tell the diffrence from the clickbait that is all too common now.
Product placement doesn't bother me that much as long as its not blatant https://www.youtube.com/watch?... And I don't watch much of the netflix originals so I haven't really noticed it. However It does annoy me when I get to the end of a movie and it minimizes the credits so it can show me a full screen ad for house of cards or whatever the new original crap they are currently trying to push. I wanted to watch the dance scene at the end of the credits dang it.
Is it a stronghold or a city? Pretty much anything big enough to be considered a nuke would be too big for the job.
Nukes aren't exactly precise so your going to have so much collateral damage, fallout and the resulting political shitstorm that they wouldn't be worth using even if you had them.
There shouldn't ever be a use for them again unless we decide to go ahead with a WWIII.
If you bring your children lets say aged 3 and 4 with you to rob a bank who is responsible when they get hurt? Here the parents would be in deep shit for reckless child endangerment.
I feel this falls under the same lines. They went to war and they brought their whole country into the conflict with them.
It must have been a while since you last used a sat con. $60/mo gets you 10GB at 10/1Mbps on huges or for the same price 12/3Mbps on excede.
Last time I had a sat con was around 2009 wild blue $80/mo 1.5/.256 split rolling cap 17/5GB iirc average ping was about 570ms.
But as for speed and reliability it was absolute crap. If it rained here I would loose connection if it rained in Syracuse, NY where my gateway was I would loose connection.
Speeds and caps are better than they were several years ago. But afaik nothing has been done to improve its reliability.
Mine was replaced with a 3g cellular connection a few years ago but i've since moved to 4g.
If you know someone still one one of those overpriced high latency old systems have them switch to a modern plan at the very least. From experience I can tell you its better than dailup at least 3/4 of the time.
At work we use ssns to identify people in our system its not online it doesn't check that the number is valid and we don't actually care if its real or not. The reason why we ask for the ssn is solely so we can find them in our system a year later when they come back. Because many people have absolutely no idea what their legal name is or don't care.
Name on id: "Fred jones" What he says his name is: "Patrick star" Oh I've changed my name 3 times in the last year what name do you have me under? Try smith, green, apple, bob. *checks ssn* ah here we are "Natsu dragneel" Client: oh I forgot about that one that was when I was with my 7th wife.
Give us something else we can use to persistantly keep track of our customers because names really suck.
Just because you get it faster from amazon does not mean it will be fresh.
Many food items are kept in storage for months before they are shipped out from amazon and typically there is no way to know before buying which amazon seller has the freshest stock or even how long its been sitting there in stock. Chocolate does go bad and twizzlers over a month old are as tough as Goodyear tires.
Amazon doesn't offer same day where I live anyway.
Its not something I would buy anyway. But I still don't want an otherwise relatively safe product being made hazardous because people happen to like the way diethelene glycol tastes...again.

This has actually been discussed here before. The manufacturers seem to have a pretty good idea of how they want to do it. So at this point I don't see insurance being any significant hurdle.
I would still want the manual controls left in place. Just in case I need to go off road.
Are we actually trying to keep dupes off the front page now? Wow times they are a changin.
Thanks for letting us know.
+1 Where did it go? It's 404'd now.
How about adding back ip over firewire a feature people actually used instead of trying to push crap nobody wants?

Sure if they had had nukes at the time that probably would have ended very differently.
But this is history and hopefully it stays that way.
I've allways assumed you could get a t1 pretty much anywhere by paying a few grand for installaition. And then a several hundred a month for service.
Out of curiosity what is the limitation preventing you from being able to spend ridiculous amounts of money for a reliable if rather slow connection?
There are only two players in sattelite internet hughesnet (echostar) and excede (viasat)
Excede is now offering plans in some areas with soft caps so the low speed is better after hitting your cap (like 1 to 5mbps)
Plans are diffrent now than they were a few years ago it should be worth while to check.
I would look in this order
1. Wired
2. Point to point wisp
3. Cellular 4g lte
4. Sattelite
Wisps and wired broadband are typically unmetered.

Name on id: "Fred jones"

Oh I've changed my name 3 times in the last year what name do you have me under? Try smith, green, apple, bob.
*checks ssn* ah here we are "Natsu dragneel"

Still seems rather low considering the number of people that use the same password everywhere.
I suggested it to netflix support they said they would pass along my feedback.
So if netflix starts its own vpn service in a few months I suppose you can blame me for that.
Its not something I would buy anyway. But I still don't want an otherwise relatively safe product being made hazardous because people happen to like the way diethelene glycol tastes...again.
That's good. There needs to be some regulation.
Yes proper regulation would be somewhere in between.
But still pretty far away from million dollar testing.
