Not really truthful. VRE goes out to Manassas and Fredricksburg. The Silver Line is being built out to Dulles. That being said, the system is going to have issues if Amazon is putting that many jobs in Crystal City.

You don't if you buy gift cards. In fact, after the last hack, I didn't trust Sony with my credit card info, so all of my payments I made on PSN were through cards.

I've gotten plenty of requests from recruiters on LinkedIn, so it certainly has been useful for me for that. Can't say I've found a job that way, but it is one of many tools. It is also useful to keep track of people I used to work with, to see where they are now and if I need to contact them again in the future. Otherwise, I rarely go on the site, other than to update my profile.

The OP makes the mistake of adding anyone who requests. I personally only add people I know, or recruiters I want to do business with.

I think it is pretty simple what happened: The Internet happened and cheap streaming. For most people, it doesn't make sense to buy CDs when the vast majority of music is available online for a relatively low fee. Many of the audiophiles have gone back to vinyl, tho given that much of modern music is recorded digitally, it is probably missing the point.

For me, I still buy CDs, but most of the time they get ripped once and gather dust as I listen to my music on more convenient mediums.

Actually, there aren't. Most of them have gone under. FYE is one of the few left, and the one near me cut their CD section in half. The only major chain that still carries CDs is Barnes & Noble. Really, the only option is buying online, and even some of those storefronts are struggling.

You know that the Web is more than just social media and online shopping sites - right?

As Google, Facebook and Amazon have gobbled up more of the Internet, this is becoming less true. Back in the day, remember the concern people had over Internet Explorer and the influence Microsoft had? Well, Google controls how most people find things on the web and a browser that controls how they see it. Amazon hosts a large percentage of web sites through AWS. Facebook is the dominant social network where people communicate with each other. Now that Net Neutrality is dead, ISPs now can control who goes over those pipes. The concern is real.

Those who mock unemployment have never been on it. It requires you to report on a weekly basis your job search activities. If you receive an offer and turn it down (because they lowballed you), you need to be able to justify that it wasn't a legitimate offer. Also, what you get is a pittance, hardly enough to live off of. For me, it didn't even pay the bills.

I was glad to have it, since something is better than nothing, but it isn't exactly free money. (And oh yeah, you still need to pay income tax on it.)

My LG G4 doesn't have a Facebook app. Nor much shovelware as far as I can tell.

I think it is only recently that they have started to be regularly in stock in stores. In any case, the holidays are a different story and is often when consoles see their biggest sales. Better make sure you don't have supply problems then.

What does it matter when none of those three really deserved to win? IMO, Arrival was the most deserving and it won.

Not more convenient when my parking space is on the opposite side of the parking lot from my townhouse. Until they put in charging stations in my townhouse complex, or they find a way to quick charge these cars in 5 minutes, electric cars just won't be practical for me.

Here in Northern Virginia, it has been pen & paper for a while. Haven't seen a voting machine in years.

Just to correct some errors in your assumptions: First, while contractors write the bulk of code for the US government, it is all work for hire and owned by the government. Second, even much of the software written for the IC is not classified. Most of the time, it is the data that it processes that is classified.

As someone who has worked as a government contractor for years, duplication of effort between agencies is a big problem, one which the government has worked hard at trying to resolve. This is a good step in the right direction.

Looking at the CVE database, the top three OSs with the most vulnerabilities on the list are Linux distributions.

Just because there was a high profile attack doesn't inherently make one OS more insecure than another.

Unfortunately, the options for a dumb TV are limited to non-existent. Just about every TV worth a damn nowadays has Smart TV features. Best you can do is find ones that least get in the way of the functioning of the TV and plug in your own stuff.

To be honest, I think this TV looks overpriced for what it is. That being said, if it is like the regular Fire TV, you will be able to sideload applications onto it, so there is that at least.
