Agreed, I think we should pay federal taxes. The problem is the whole "taxation without representation", DC pays federal taxes but doesn't get represented. DC senator is as useless as ours (I live in PR). In our case we have no federal taxes but we can't vote for president we have no senators or house representatives. We would need statehood for that, most people in PR want that but I don't think it will happen. Our government is corrupt/stupid (but I guess we are not the only ones the US has its share of corrupt/stupid politicians), people fight over ideologies (you have the same problem) and I'm sure your politicians don't want to dilute their power by adding a lot of extra people to congress.

Yeah, our population is 3 million, we are the 34 highest populated state/territory in the US. Higher than Mississipi, Kansas, New Mexico and Nebraska.

Removing federal tax is stupid. DC Is basically a state but like with PR politicians will shelve this because they don't want to dilute their power. Republicans don't want to add a few more democrats to the house.

Not true. The only time statehood lost in recent years was on 1998 , and it lost to the idiotic "None of the Above" options.

Referendum 1967: 39% statehood, (67% commonwealth, independence 0.6%)
Referendum 1998: 46% statehood (50% None of the above, 2.6% independence 2.6%, 0.3% free association, 0% commonwealth)
Referendum 2012: 61% statehood (independence 5%, free association 33%, commonwealth 0%)
Referendum 2017: 97% statehood (independence 1.50%, commonwealth 1.32%)

Exactly. Not only that, you will also get everyone here in PR (people+companies) paying federal taxes. Anyway I'm sick of companies (I'm looking at you Dell/Google) not selling/giving services here because we are not part of the US. We are part of the US to enlist and fight in wars, but not to get a fucking Alienware PC shipped down here. Not even shipping to the US and paying with an AMEX because the billing address is in PR. Fucking Dell.

It has always been online, anyway the real one is popcorntime-dot-sh. Ignore the rest.

Use the John Hopkins one instead.

.. not that weird abomination they tried for their second attempt. The PH-1 is beautiful, Make it as big as the S10+, add a better camera (I found id good enough). I would have bought it. I bought the first one and loved it, I guess I have a collectors edition now.

You are right on most things except the "residents keep voting to keep the status quo" part. There have been like 2 (maybe 3) referendums about status. Statehood won all of them. Unfortunately congress has to validate (sponsor?) the referendum or is not valid, so those are just symbolic votes. We should be paying federal taxes but that would mean we should get senators/house representatives. I'm sure many senators don't want to dilute their power adding more people in the mix. Specially morons like our politicians, even though congress is not devoid of morons.

... sometimes I like to do something unbelievably inefficient. Not for production code though.

In college a teacher gave us an assignment to reverse a linked list. I made it recursive. My teacher said: "It's inefficient and that will only works with small lists, you will get a stack overflow". I said "Who cares, it is pretty", Still got an A.

So, a non-profit,in theory, could deliver broadcast TV only charging for the maintenance of the antennas/servers/internet used for delivery? Interesting...

like this one just a residential version (not costing over 2K). Don't think the iRobot one would climb a slope.

I had an A2000 and it was simple. I bought a GVP board and a SCSI drive with a ton of space (120MB). It wasn't that hard. I did it myself and all I had worked with before was a C64. I still have that Amiga although the 1084S is acting weird.

This. Crazy fast updates (had android p just 3 hours after Google announced the release) great hardware, camera is ok. The 3d camera attachment is great.

At work we have 3 Spectrometers with integrated computers. One uses MSDOS with a PATA drive and a floppy. A pain when the HD dies, have one of those flash drive->floppy drives ready for when it breaks (not touching it if its working). Another with a weird Windows 2000 Embedded that it's impossible to find, and another with XP. They are too specialized and only upgraded by the company. Also new ones go for 100k or something, so unless they blow up they stay as they are.

Obviously peanut paste. Now what do we do with toothpaste?

There is no such thing as soy milk... it's soy juice..
