Currently to send a letter I:
1. Put a stamp on the corner.
2. Write down the address where I want it to go.
3. (Optional) put one of my return address labels on it.
Their method
1. Have one of their laser burners put a 'stamp' on the envelope.
2. Pull up an app and scan my 'stamp'
3. Tell it where to go (either through my contacts or by manually inputting it).
I don't see how this is 'simpler'...
...it makes the software a minimum of 10 and a maximum of about 300 times harder to brute force."
What an odd sentence. Did you mean "...it makes the software 10 to 300 times harder to brute force"?
...but rather talking about taking foolish risks and then bitching about the outcome. If I leave my car running in a bad neighborhood and come back an hour later to find it gone, is it my fault? In a way, it is, because I should have known with nearly 100% certainty that my car was going to be gone. Same with the nude photos. The internet is not a great place to store sensitive documents. It's not a 100% certainty that the photos were going to be found and distributed, but since the point of the internet is to distribute information, you could have seen it as a likely outcome.
I feel bad for these people that their photos were stolen, but when Jennifer Lawrence calls it a 'sex crime', I think she sounds stupid.
I have yet to see a CFL lamp reach ROI. Ever.
Then you didn't look very well. I still have most of the CFLs in my first house that I put in during the California power crisis over ten years ago. So let's say that they only last even half of that. Power costs for an incandescent vs. CFL over five years:
$0.15/kwh
3 hrs/day run time
Incandescent: 100 watt- $82
CFL: 33 watts - $27
Are you really going to sit there and tell me that you are paying $50 for a CFL?
"I like and believe very much that we should have to obtain a warrant from an independent judge to be able to take the contents," FBI Director James Comey told reporters. "What concerns me about this is companies marketing something expressly to allow people to place themselves beyond the law."
Well, too bad that isn't what actually happens. You guys just take whatever the hell you want, using things like 'National Security Letters', gag orders, and scooping up anything and everything into giant server farms. We don't trust any of you one bit to not invade our privacy. You brought this on yourself.
already reports of CFLs and LED lamps burning out long before their rated lifetimes are reached.
When I am shelling out a big up front cost, I am going to be pissed if one of these things burns out in a year or two. Sure it is probably covered under warranty, but then I have to make sure I keep the receipt, which receipt goes with which bulb, etc. I use CFLs because I won't mind as much if one burns out early because the cost for them is relatively low.
Permits cost up to $1,500, says Forest Service spokesman Larry Chambers, and reporters who don't get a permit could face fines up to $1,000.
Hmmmm... should I pay the $1,500 up front, or risk the $1,000 fine? Decisions, decisions...
The problem here is that the CRTC can stop all payment via Canadian credit cards to Netflix
Really? A radio and TV communications commission can block legal credit card transactions?
Anyways, build a modern healthcare infrastructure, modern farms with GMO crops, stop all the pointless wars and rein industry in a bit, and Africa will be fine.
Are you running for Miss America?
Most of the anticipated growth is in Africa, where population is projected to quadruple from around 1 billion today to 4 billion by the end of the century.
You mean, the continent that can barely feed itself and is the source of deadly plagues (Ebola, etc.) is somehow going to support four times it's current population? I'd like to see how that is feasible...
For decades, we have moved away from producing goods to a service providing nation.
Huh? We are still the #2 manufacturing nation in the world, and still a good deal ahead of the #3 producing nation. The only reason we dropped behind China recently is because they ramped up their manufacturing so much.
I can't even believe this stupid rant made it onto
They would only have to have one replacement model of each phone that had been sold recently enough to consumers to still be covered under a replacement insurance plan. That still probably wouldn't take up more space than what you could fit into a medium cardboard box
I don't think you realize how many stores there are. Instead of keeping a single large box of replacement phones at one distribution center, you would need to ship out at least one phone to every single area that you cover. The number of phones you have to have stocked at locations could easily exceed what you have at the single location. And to top it all off, you now have to keep track of all these phones, and keep shipping out newer models to hundreds of locations all the time.
And your story is made up, since you contradicted yourself within the same paragraph:
I had it sealed in a zippable plastic bag.
So, was your phone in a sealed bag or in your pocket unsealed? You can't seem to make up your mind.
