Unless you get your Internet over the air (Satellite or Cell) your provider's caps are embarrassingly small. That's straight up ridiculous for 2015.

Didn't John Carmack get sued for basically the same reason? Failing to give himself a brain wipe after leaving Bethesda?

I wonder how many articles are going to be tagged "penis"?

Why can't Android devices mount EXT4 formatted SD cards? Or better yet, format them if they're FAT32? Granted you won't be able to plug your SD card into your camera or Windows box, but I don't think that's a common use case for cards stuffed in phones.

So the lesson is that if you have a pre-Android 4.3 phone, you definitely need to upgrade it to 4.4 or later. No problem.

They're only talking about it because they're obsessed with latency. Bandwidth over the fibers will be much higher than what you can do with Microwave, and most people would rather have an extra 100Gbps than a few microseconds less latency.

The land was only "worthless" because it had liens exceeding the value of the property. So it was secretly expensive land disguised as incredibly cheap land.

Employees don't really seem to be assets as far as the stock market is concerned. They are an expense that you suffer so the business will still operate. Assets are things that you can sell, like buildings and equipment.

Markets always crash. It's how they operate. People make money not by owning stocks, but by owning stocks that are moving. It's not in their interest to have a stable marketplace. That's why the stock market will always be volatile, because the people who run it need the volatility to skim off their percentage.

Real Estate will always be worth something. Even if we decide that precious metals are worthless (maybe someone invents a Star Trek replicator), land will always have value. At the very least you can farm it and feed yourself and your family.

My experience with lost/rediscovered films like this is that they were usually lost for a reason. Nobody cared enough to keep it safe when it was new, and today it is at best a historical curiosity. More often the film is just straight up boring or terrible and maybe it was lost for a reason.

Isn't that what Chrome (not Chromium) is for? It's the entire reason I have it installed on my laptop.

I remember years and years ago when this first came out it was party to some of the worst looking games of all time. But bad games can be made on any platform, I'm sure someone could have made something good by now. Their website doesn't list any projects that use the library, which is very troubling. They haven't been just developing the library for their own sake for 16 years have they? Someone must be using it.

Wow, I can't wait until the Congressional hearings on the "hook up classes" held by the first school district that tries this. Teaching "children" about healthy sexual attitudes is a major taboo in the US. It undermines the message they were getting from their church and parents about sex being evil and dirty.

The Kickstarter has a handheld version with a battery, screen, and keyboard. You can install Wolfram Alpha on it as well (it comes by default with Rasbian now). It has better everything than a TI graphing calculator and costs $49.
