One Plus Tab2
I've had one for about 10 months now and I really like it. Good picture, decent sound, an active bt stylus, and a really solid feel. It was not cheap, but not in the Samsung Tab or iPad range.

I've had it for about 10 months now and I love it. Great screen, decent sound and a really nice feel to it. It fast charges and I get a solid 8 hours. Not cheap but not in the Samsung or iPad range.

That's probably part of it but I'd bet on no ego...

The pirates were already pirating, they are already lost. A few former customers will go pirate but most will just do without. Not that Disney is going to do anything but lose their A$$ off. YouTube will just keep churning out petabytes of junk...

Why don't you kikuyu them off your grass.

Cheney was in charge below before he decided on a walk-about up here. Having spread chaos and evil for a bit he is returning to his day job as lord of hell.

There is a reason they are so successful.

Now you can restrict what you want to see before ever looking, so there is no chance of seeing anything new, or learning anything at all.

Again the People lose, here in the US and abroad.

WEYD rocks.

Almost all of those things listed are goods or services provided for sale to the public. The DataMining gives nothing back, except to a very select few. Heck there are barely any employees.

Give it 2 weeks of reddit exposure and the AI will be a child predator easily able to hone in on the young and vulnerable.

I don't recall this place posting blatant pay wall crap on the main page. I guess it won't really matter. No one here reads the articles anyway...

I can send a letter via the USPS for a $.55 to Alaska from the continental US in 3 days. Fedex/UPS wants $Bucketload to ship a single sheet to anywhere.
The USPS is perhaps the best and maybe the only truly functioning government service. If they were allowed to keep their profit every year they would be making decent money. Instead they start at $0 and are always forced to ask the monkeys in Congress for money. The legislative chimps just want to line their pockets with what privatizing the postal service would get them in bribes.

20 years ago I trained my Indian replacement, and then took a package. I worked as a contractor for a few more years before retiring. All corp's are bloodsuckers with no regard for the humans that they exploit. My father worked his whole life for the same private company and got well taken care of. A corp. doesn't even understand the concept.
