That can't be good for your eyes.

Blacker than the blackest black, times infinity.

What moron would sign a contract like that? Are you really that dumb?

I was going to add 3- A Clown, But then I remembered the Principal from my daughters public school...

Because people are too fucking stupid to do it on their own. Maybe if we require IQ above what degree they paid for this problem would not manifest as much.

nobody employed at a K-12 school has the ability or IQ to properly run and terminate cat6/fiber/etc let alone install a clean network rack.

Ever single school my company is called in to fix was an utter nightmare that had to have most of the infrastructure gutted. Idiots just running non plenum wire in the ceiling ducts, etc...

If you want it half assed, let the school do it. If you want ti right, hire a real company of professionals to come in and install it right so it has a chance to survive the school's staff.

You volunteering to install all of it for free?

In my old days the laptop battery did not charge, you simply replaced the standard 4 AA batteries and kept on truckin... Tandy 100 FTW!

I even had the acoustic coupler modem, hacked many a UUNET dial up nodes from payphones with that wonderful laptop.

The one that doesnt suck.

Pebble.

All the others from Samsung and the rest have two major SUCK failure points...

1 - Have to charge it daily : FAIL.
2 - cant read it in direct sunlight : FAIL.

The pebble does both perfectly and for Under $150 if you buy the normal one.

In that case, France would charge an import tax.

But what really happens is the book is printed in Germany, sold to Amazon in Luxembourg, sold to someone in France, and all the profit funneled through Netherlands and/or Ireland, where is somehow becomes no profit and hence no tax due.

Apple represents a freaking quarter of the US economy. One company. Making locked-down toy computers.

We're living in a sci-fi dystopia.

Yep that's why we buried Kimi Raikkonen in an urn last week.

OH WAIT

Nope, it just has to hit the ground at an angle, a piece bounces off of crash site 1 and lands somewhere else, creating "crash site 2." It even happens with cars sometimes (like today's Tesla crash story).

Yep you could die in an F1 car if you get thrown out (although it would take a very odd impact - if you don't wear your seatbelt in an F1 car, because of the shape of the cockpit and seat, in a frontal impact you'll become a gross puddle in the footwell).

Makes sense, the plane could have broken up on impact and the area where the tail landed was initially thought to be a second crash site. It was found to be part of the same plane, and the fact that the plane's ass landed some distance away is hardly newsworthy.

Actually I'm surprised at this. This is one of those few things that were worse than I expected, along with the NSA sabotaging NIST standards, treating all Linux users, cipherpunks and privacy advocates as extremists, and targeting human rights organizations.

80% of all calls in the US!? This is madness. This is computer-powered McCarthyism on crack.
