I've always assumed it was just a welfare program to keep otherwise useless and incompetent citizens off the streets. I mean, what would they do otherwise? The world only needs so many telephone sanitizers.

Trick Eight (my personal favorite): "...bankrupting many of them and sending some out of the windows of Wall Street skyscrapers."

I always thought we would have been better off if Booth had the decency to cap Lincoln in the skull *before* he fought to hold on to the worst parts of this nation.

How many of those tabs are refreshing ads in the background, and would it start to become a burden on your network performance? I'm sure it's site specific; dozens tabs of social media is probably going to nuke a connection faster than a bunch of RFCs... Do different browsers handle it differently?

I'll have you know that the Chinese are still building plenty of skyscrapers in NYC. saudi, Russian and Chinese oligarchs have to stash their cash somewhere...

At no time in modern history has a gameshow host with no political experience been appointed to the highest office in the United States.

this will be used to help determine the best course of treatment for you, after they calculated your new insurance premium

I was thinking about this recently for a similar project - I'll bet a piece of vacuum formed plastic with some rear projection paint combined with a pico projector could do a pretty good job of mimicking the physical appearance of an old CRT. Couple that with a bit of video processing to inject artificial scan-lines.
Blinky & Cathode are two pieces of software on OSX that do a really good job of mimicking CRT effects.

If you file a $15M lawsuit because someone hurt your feelings, you forfeit the right to be addressed as a civilized human being. Someone should hurt his feelings with a 3' section of schedule 40 black iron pipe.

Based on their latest offerings, I'd say they're now a dongle company.

What if you could use this same cord to charge the batteries in those wireless headphones?

What else can they do? They can muster every last bit of sensibility they have and bring him down with non-lethal means. Multiple officers have him pinned to the ground - they've got the upper hand, and if they wanted to bring him in alive, they could have. Zap him again, or give him one good blow to the head to knock him out, or fuck it - shoot him in the leg!
They've got his weapon, he's in a compromised position, and they're armed and armored like god-damn combat soldiers. Buck up and take this guy in alive. You don't get to tell me how much of a dangerous job you have if you've got carte blanche to empty a clip into anything that threatens you.

This will continue to happen until it is a dangerous practice. Dangerous on a personal level. It continues to amaze and disappoint me that there aren't more (any?) stories of high ranking executives and officers being found mysteriously disemboweled.
"Gee wiz, I really would like to outsource this entire department to shitfuckastan, and find the carrot juuuuust big enough to keep the staff here to train their replacement, but I sure am worried about my entire family being slowly murdered and eaten in front of me when I get home"
I know that's not actually how the world works, but a boy can dream.

..Which is why they didn't notice the dupe from a month ago.
