The Chinese use it as a tool to exert authority over the populace under the guise of unification. They didn't run a line out to Urumqui because it would ever be profitable - they don't like autonomous regions.

Do you consider the extra/optional fee you pay to avoid airfare cancellation fees to be the same as gambling? It's semantics, but that's basically the same as what's going on here.

Not sure the model they use in NY, but here in Denver a fourth one has just opened up. They're all full bars, some of them full kitchens, and they're definitely not expecting teens to keep them afloat. It's a nostalgia fest plus sports bar and it's thirty-somethings that are the main crowd so they're not necessarily trying to compete with consoles and kids whose minds can't comprehend 8-bit graphics and chiptunes.

If anti-harassment is the reason why it was being removed, why was there no mention of who was being harassed and who reported the harassment?

They even have a more modern attempt based on many cores with an onboard OS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Enzyme + PET equals what exactly? Surely not nothing. Hopefully something harmless.

Needs upmod. I'd prefer if my phone never even let it reach voicemail. If you have the ability to detect a spam caller, then I want my phone and/or network to make it appear that my number is dead altogether.

I think AMC overestimates the desirability of the movie-going experience. In reality, they should be happy that it's actually causing people to come to their bullshit establishment in the first place. They're going to charge moviepass whatever they want to charge, and cheaper ticket prices are actually likely to increase the amount of money cheap-asses like me are willing to spend on concessions.

Sorry movie stars - the fact that you demand $20million+ dollars to run around and pew-pew bad buys is one of the reasons why movies cost so much. Sorry movie studios - your unwillingness to take a risk on unproven concepts because you feel some need to spend $100million+ on a moive because insist on making $200million+ at the box office is the other reason why movies cost so much. Unfuck your brains and maybe the struggling middle class can take a family to Redundant Action Shooter Part 14 without spending nearly $200 for the "luxury".

It seems to me like the main dealers should be able to cut out the middleman, sell a product that's ultimately lower in price, but actually increase the price they receive per unit. They can pass some of that middleman savings onto the customer while retaining some for themselves, and the customer saves more while they make money. The "dealer network" can still exist for purposes of service and repair - which the main dealers would probably rather not bother with - and they can still compete with the main dealer if choose in whatever way they think they can make a buck (some kind of value added services).

Lobbying - if it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander. Doesn't mean that the big three won't do $ome lobbying of their own, though.

If I cash out now, I will realize a 300% ROI if I don't have to worry about any sort of taxes, so I'm not really sure what you're talking about.

Apple practically deifies themselves to its followers, which is fine if you want the image of providing magical, revolutionary products and services. If you position yourself that way though, it becomes impossible to release a product that would otherwise be considered very standard and practical and "good enough" without getting this kind of negative response that contradicts the hype. There's nothing wrong with the stuff they put out, generally speaking, but it's hard live up to the gleaming, shiny perfection that is their marketing.

You're mad that what he said is accurate? You have an interest in people being deprived of knowledge? You're threatened by the spread of useful information?

I think I'd rather you go stare into the sun.

If a person own such a phone, truly does not use Facebook, never created an account and has never agreed to any of their terms of service, does that make this an actionable legal offense by Facebook?

The same reason people connect their phones to the internet, or their computers - it's pretty fucking useful.
