I don't know if it varies by version and platform, but in the Visions update on PC, your current planetary coordinates are available on every starship and the exosuit scanner. If you find a place you want to revisit, just write them down. I agree it might be nice to have an in-game feature to do this, but is isn't necessary.
One story is that it was something a Chicago newspaperman talked retailers into doing back in the 1870s when papers cost $0.01 and 1 cent coins weren't widely available. By pricing pricing items lower, people would take a paper to round up to an even dollar. Another theory is that it was just some competitor looking for an edge.
I'd be interested in how government-owned computers are affecting this total. The Department of Defense directed a transition from Windows 7 to Windows 10 in 2017, and I think the mandatory transition period is nearing its end.
What's missing from the summary (didn't read the article) is what the actual retention was on the retest. Binge watchers started high and lost a lot. Weekly watchers started low and lost a little. Where did the two groups end up relative to each other?
The NYT article spends a lot of time focusing on the 1% vs 60%, but that wasn't the focus of the original study by the Equality of Opportunity Project. Their conclusion was that graduates of an elite school had approximately the same chance to get into the top 20% income bracket regardless of their economic background.
I have a different view on this. I don't see my house as an investment like a mutual fund to make money. The decision to buy is a cost-benefit analysis. Do the benefits of owning a home (freedom to do what I want to the property, not sharing apartment walls, mortgage interest deduction on taxes, potential gain on sale) outweigh the costs (maintenance costs, property taxes, potential loss on sale)? Will the costs and benefits of owning outweigh the costs and benefits of renting?
I'm selling my current home after living in it for 34 months. Between maintenance, interest, taxes, a slight loss on the sale price, realtor fees, etc, I figure I'm losing about $25-30k. If I'd rented an equivalent house, I probably would have paid over $1000/month=$34k. Based on this math, I think I came out a little ahead.
TCL is a relatively recent entrant to the US market. I think they're a Chinese company. Their web site shows a 58" HD and a 50" 4k TV that don't list any smart TV functions.
I have a 40" version that has a good complement if inputs, but no smart features beyond a USB port. It is even able to access an OTA program guide.
I think you're out of luck. According to the OpenMandriva wiki, they have switched to systemd and built it into their initramfs. Furthermore, "Due to the adoption of systemd the use of a separate/usr partition is no longer possible." The explanation for why this is the case is at freedesktop.org.
This has apparently been known about a for while in some developer communities. The first result in a Bing search for "windows 8 hosts file" returns a MSDN post from Sept 2011 identifying the problem.
The solution I came up with was to buy a spare hard drive and caddy for the machine. When I wanted to do my own thing, I swapped out the drives. No risk of contaminating either system with data from the other, and it's a lot easier to carry around than an extra laptop or even a tablet. It also tends to be faster that a cd or usb drive.
What I would really like to hear is equivalent quotes of companies who successfully migrated from MS Office to OO.o. Is there any? (no, not/. pseudonym-"in my office"-anecdotes, but real company names)
Have you tried talking to Red Hat? I don't work for them, but I have attended meetings at their facility and all the briefings were done in OO.o.
From what I could tell from the video, the quad flew a basically horizontal trajectory, and timed it's movement such that it had very little room to spare as it entered and exited the hoop. It also didn't go through at the easiest part of the hoop's trajectory (the top) Presumably, with appropriate programming, it could pass through a hoop that was swinging or moving in any other regular pattern. I bet a spinning hoop would be an interesting challenge. Another challenge would be a hoop that's moving in an irregular manner, but slow compared to the quad. Something like a hoop suspended from a balloon that's being blown around a little.
I'm right-handed, but mouse left-handed. I switched because I felt moving my hand from the home keys across the cursor keys and numeric keypad to get to the mouse was putting uncomfortable strain on my elbow. It's a noticeably shorter reach with the left hand. I'm now pretty much ambidexterous with either a mouse or trackball. I also find mousing lefty easier with certain applications or games that primarily use the cursor or numeric keys. By mousing with my left hand, I don't have to move my right hand off the keyboard.
I usually reverse the buttons on the left side so that my index finger does the same thing and I've also gotten to where I see "right-click" and automatically mirror it so I left-click. I can pretty much work a right- or left-handed configuration with either hand with only a few moments to switch modes in my brain.
Of the places I've lived, the Northeast is where I think rail makes the most sense. The problem is that it's neither cost nor time effective. I've looked at taking Amtrak between Richmond, VA and Boston just to avoid airport hassles. JetBlue offers a direct flight which is about the same price, and with some planning and a little luck, I can drive it faster than the train can make it.

There's already a robot burger maker, so this may not be science fiction for long.
There's Skrooge for KDE if you need a dedicated program. Or you can just use a spreadsheet in LibreOffice.
I mean seriously - what sort of bone head would think this was a good idea in general?
A true b-one head, of course.
Or you can just go to Startpage and get the same results without Google's tracking.
What exactly can a plastic bottle do that a glass bottle, or metal can, or some sort of paper/cardboard container cannot?
Survive a fall onto a hard surface without breaking/deforming. Allow dispensing of contents without a utensil (e.g., condiments or shampoo).
The only benefit is that plastic is cheap and light, so producers get to save some money and increase profit margins
How likely are producers to cut their profits to cover the extra material and transportation costs?

I've found Krusader to be a pretty good tool on KDE. On Windows, Total Commander provides similar functionality.

That assumes they leave the entire season up instead of doing something like only keeping the last five episode available.

I mean, if a picture is worth 1000 words, then surely a whole line of pictures is worth more!
But sometimes, 10 words are enough, so pictures are overkill.

You're basically asking CNN to go off the air. I'd love it, too, but I know it's not going to happen.
Get Dish. Voila! No more CNN!
