Funny timing on this story, as it comes just as some in Congress are doing the bidding of large retailers in trying to kill the credit card rewards industry because it would reduce transaction fees for retailers who would almost certainly not pass that on to consumers. https://www.cbsnews.com/boston...

Well, yes, but try to remember when this was, a patch would have required distributing said patch -and- getting users to install it. This wasn’t a trivial exercise back when that all but required physical media. Microsoft putting in a compatibility mode for one of the major games of the time effectively solved the problem with one fewer floppy/CD.

You say that like said engineers had any input on which contractors were selected.

MFR remains inferior to APS-C and 35mm full frame SLRs, what changed is that MIRRORLESS models of those formats have become available that are nearly as useful as an SLR, except in certain specific areas of photography.

The lens isn't the limiting factor on dynamic range, the sensor/film/capture device is the limiting factor. I'm not "asking the lens" to do anything besides point light at said device.

One space. The typewriter is dead, please donâ(TM)t bring two spaces back.

You are sorely misinformed. While some prisons in the US are private, most are owned by the states or federal government. You make it sound like every prison is private, when those are the exception, rather than the rule.

Indeed. They actually have to use diesel vehicles only within a certain area at the observatory for that reason.

Out of curiosity though, doesnâ(TM)t Houston need to know how much weight remains on the station for stationkeeping maneuvers and whatnot?

Um... Did you mean Ford Focus? The Fusion's starting MSRP has been over $20k for a while now (this model year it is $22,120, Focus is $16,775).

Where do you live that a metal roof was less than asphalt? When I just priced out my roof earlier this year, decent metal was twice the cost of the architectural shingles I chose, and around 2.5 times the cost of cheap 3-tab...but...most of that was installation differences. I'm guessing you live somewhere where asphalt's weight makes shipping more expensive or somewhere there are a lot of metal roofs?

They wouldn't really have a choice on now on many carriers...AT&T's 2G is gone as of Jan 1 this year. I'm not sure the situation in Europe.

Again, this is not a private company (Weather Channel, Weather.com) it is The National Weather Service and Weather.GOV, a government entity.

This article is about Weather.GOV (which is a US NOAA/NWS product) not Weather.COM.
