For every fool in debt collection there is some happy person who made money. Choose to be the predator or the prey.

What Jews are a target for such garbage I'll never know. Throughout history Jews have been people of great accomplishment. Throw on top of that that modern day Israelis are nothing more than heroic in keeping the barbarism that surrounds them at bay.

The mofo has friggin' pogo sticks for legs. He shouldn't compete with the able bodied unless he does it on his stumps.

Probably because, we expect, that Slashdot readers are generally comfortable enough with elementary math to be able to either multiply $1300 by 3 ($3900) or 4 ($5200), or has easy access to a calculator.

Is this the same Lawrence Krauss who polluted the Scientific American for years with his leftist political diatribes? I have no problem with Comgress cutting the political dead wood from the Energy Department or any other department of government. There are enough activists in the bureaucracy.

Netflix raised prices back in May; existing customers are grandfathered in for a while (when prices went up in Ireland, customers were grandfathered for two years). More at http://www.buzzfeed.com/matthe...

Given that this was done in Q2, and the earnings call was about Q2, I believe Reed was talking about that particular raise (which, again, happened two months ago), not a new raise. There's no new raise.

(I work at Netflix, but I just play with computers).

I've waited 50 years for the right pretext for the US to attack Russia. Now they have killed 23 Americans in an act of terror. Now's them time to finish the job that should have been done in 1945. Dismember Russia. But do we have a President with the stones to do it?

Spaceflight now said this:

An update on the Falcon 9 first stage recovery via Twitter from Elon Musk: "Rocket booster reentry, landing burn & leg deploy were good, but lost hull integrity right after splashdown (aka kaboom)."

Looks like Musk fucked it up again. But that would never discourage you idiots.

What does 'fighting climate change' mean? Do they want warmer or colder global temperatures? How do these governments hope to manipulate climate by granting favors to their cronies?

The Arab squatters need to be removed.

I have a Pebble -- until recently, a Kickstarter-edition one, though it malfunctioned and the company quite helpfully replaced it.

I originally got it as a geek toy, a whim, but it turned out to be hugely useful for me, given my constraints and work circumstances. Largely, this came down to three factors:

I manage people, and at least at my current company that means that the vast majority of my time is spent in meetings. Having a Pebble on which to see what messages I'm receiving (just for text messages, not FB or email) means I can know when someone's texted me (a rare, but potentially important, occasion) and be able to see what I got without having to reach for my phone in my pocket; it also means that because being able to see the message doesn't necessitate using the tool with which I respond, that I'm less likely to respond immediately, which makes the process less disruptive to the people I'm in meetings with;

I used to miss meetings often because I'd get in the middle of something (or another meeting) and forget to check where I next need to go. My phone quickly vibrating in my pocket was easy to miss. But my watch vibrating? For me, it's unmissable, and it makes me much more aware of where I need to go next.

The other factor that's made a huge difference is not work-related. Being able to control music on my phone via my watch is a trivial improvement when I work out, but it's made another issue basically go away: The "What the hell did I do with my phone?" problem. If I can't find my phone these days, calling it doesn't necessarily work -- it's typically in quiet mode -- but using my Pebble to get some music playing on it, and increasing the volume, is usually immediately helpful in figuring out where the phone is.

You could, of course, argue that these three factors are not, or should not, be relevant to the average geek -- maybe you don't have as many meetings, or are more disciplined about checking your calendar. And God knows we all found our phones before we could remotely start them playing music. But it's been very helpful to me.

Fight on. You are in the right. The Arab savages need to go, all of them.

Good old weird Al whose margin of victory in the last election was serial voters bused in from Sconi. He really picks the tough issues. Get your cock out of your mouth Al!

There should be no shortage labor to do the landscaping. Perhaps Musk should ask Obama for a contract to launch them back to Guatamala.

Let's give him a fair trial aboard ship, followed by a first class navy hangin'!
