Because in order to use a Sling Box to stream those channels, you need to have a cable/satellite service to provide the content. This service streams the channels so you don't have to subscribe to a traditional cable or satellite provider at a rate most likely higher than $20 a month.

It's possible that this service isn't better than other options for some viewers. It may be exactly what others are looking for. It's never a bad thing to have multiple options, especially in an sector that's typically a monopoly or oligopoly.

It's a Slashvertisement. A $30 phone isn't newsworthy, let alone a $30 "enhanced" feature phone.

While that helps prevent your credentials from being used on other sites successfully, that doesn't do much to protect your credit card information. If they are that lax and don't care about your user credentials, what makes you think they don't just store everything plain text in a database just waiting to be compromised?

And of course those who fail will be taken away by agents and made to mow the lawn for the rest of their lives or something.

If you're lucky, that might be your fate. If you're unlucky, you still get to spend time with the lawn, but as fertilizer.

Where do you live that you don't get any rain?

Or use a country code DNS out side the US jurisdiction. Or an IP address. Or...

So Obama should remain for it for another few weeks, but once the new Congress is in session, be opposed to it. He should also be against Obamacare and against immigration. Republicans won't know what to do.

If a takedown notice could blacklist a site from every available DNS provider, the URL would be effectively erased from the internet.

Good strategy. Go ahead with that plan and let us know how that turns out.

Andy taught him about gaming by making him play and master all of the old video games and gaming systems in the exact order they were actually released.

So he's forcing his kid to play these games?

Would you question his actions as much if instead of "forcing his kid to play these games", he "forced his kid to read these [age appropriate] books" in the order they were published?

I read it as the order which the games and systems were presented were enforced to follow a specific order of introduction, not that the child was forced to do something against his will.

Not to mention the image implies it's a SSD. The defragmentation of the drive probably did far more "harm" to the drive from the point of unnecessary writes then what the log files contributed.

The real heros are the ones that stood up after they had started waterboarding and it just got to the point where they couldn't' handled it any more? No, they aren't heroes. Heroes are the ones that stand up, stop it BEFORE it got to that point. Or if it progressed to the point of no return, quit, and made it as public as they can regardless what their personal consequences are. Heroes don't get to abuse, and then just walk away when it gets too much and still get to be called heroes.

I suppose that you'll also call them victims of terrorism for what they have to live with knowing what they've done too.

I thought the same thing. SFC log file, some antivirus/malware, some .Net housekeeping...a page file...ZOMG! Sounds like pretty much everything that I would expect and would prefer to run while the machine is "idle" rather than do all the things when I'm wanting to use it and would prefer faster performance.

So your profile could look like you want hello kitty, mercedes cars and dating sites.

As oppose to having absolutely no profile information, in which case they'd just display random Hello Kitty, Mercedes cars, and dating site ads anyways. The net effect of the end user hasn't changed, but you've still managed to screw over the advertiser in a small, relatively meaningless way.

Of course it's worth keeping the program. It's much better to capture everything and later realize that you don't need any of it. Or better yet you don't need it for the reason that you thought you would but found another use that is equally beneficial to them. Can you imagine if the Government didn't have it AND they needed it? They might not get re-elected and they just can't have that.

Thank god the English language doesn't have multiple meanings for a word. It would be so awful if we were able to have multiple different types of engineers for different areas. Pretty soon even the guy who drives a train is going to want to be called an engineer.
