Why is it that the ads in mags like Byte were a key part of the reason I bought the magazine...
Wasn't that pretty much the only reason to buy Computer Shopper?
(well, except for the Lab of Doom and Pepsi-Cola)
"What good print media is left?"
Yes.
Print is a medium, so yes, it is still there. A newspaper, or magazine, it's a publication, not a medium.
You mean "What good print publications are left?"
In that case, shouldn't it be "What good print media are left?", media being plural and all?
Of course the NYT is liberal, remember how liberally Judith Miller helped Cheney sell the war?
The Economist, and
The Christian Science Monitor
One of those titles is an oxymoron.
Nonsense! If there is such a thing as Christian Science, then it certainly should be closely monitored.

Didn't CSM shut down its print edition a while back?
Try different newspapers and see if she's expressing a political view.
Or tabloid versus traditional fold in the middle, see if it's a class thing.
Let me know how she feels about USA Today.
Why, when analyzing the 2nd Amendment, do these so-called "scholars" mince commas and words explicitly in the text as written in the Constitution to derive the intent of the authors?
Why do they not read the Federalist papers, in which the founding fathers mention an individual right numerous times? (28, 29, 46, which I won't quote because you can find a much better summary here.)
Why do they not read the state constitutions written around the time, that reflect, in similar language, also an individual right?
1776 Pennsylvania: That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves and the state; and as standing armies in the time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up; and that the military should be kept under strict subordination, to, and governed by, the civil power.
1777 Vermont: That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves and the State -- and as standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up; and that the military should be kept under strict subordination to and governed by the civil power.
1792 Kentucky: That the right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.

Listen, I get it. Stevens wants to amend the Constitution to revoke the explicit ordained right to possess firearms. Why lie about it and claim that it was never intended for individual protection?

BAND NAME! Called it!
A bit long for a band name, but it could certainly be an album title.
For some reason I am unable to reciprocate.
The thingie to click ain't there.
what's next? researchers use beads to do arithmetic?
Never heard of an abacus?
Honestly I don't get the stance of some ppl from the US against Russia.
Russia is the best friend and has been the most loyal, the strongest and the most valuable ally for the USA. Really. At times of apocalyptic events Russians and Americans stood together. It was before and it may be again when we have to save the Earth itself. Nobody can help the US but Russia when things get hot. Alienating Russians is what make things worse.
Those things are called movies. The space aliens didn't really invade Earth.
Idiot, he was referring to the documentary about the asteroid that they blew up with the nuke. You know, when Daredevil makes out with Arwen.
Replying to myself: I assumed they would cut expenses to feed the shareholders but I was wrong. TFA explains:
Amazon generated a whopping $74.45 billion in revenue for its financial year to 31 December 2013, but just $274 million in net income, a margin of roughly 0.3 percent. It sells Kindles at cost.
Compare this with Google, which saw net income of $12.9 billion on revenues of $59.8 billion for the year to 31 December 2013, a margin on 21.6 percent; or to Microsoft, which posted revenue of $77.9 billion for the year to 30 June, with a net income $21.9 billion, a margin of 28.1 percent
Question is: how do they manage to make shareholders accept that?
I'm guessing the investors expect Amazon to become and stay the Walmart of the internet (or perhaps the Sears and Roebuck from catalog days) and be be able to either ramp up margins or pay them at that level for a LONG time.
That's pretty much the exact opposite experience I've had. I've never had an issue with BT audio, even once. Range seems to top out at about 30 ft and for music listening, is perfect. I've run in to audio lag (20-40ms) issues when streaming audio to bottom tier $20 adapters but it's completely replaced physical audio cables in my house. The sounds system in the living room and bedroom both use it exclusively and I just stream to either/or from my phone as the "head unit" and use the speaker system as a dumb Amp.
IIRC, the standard deduction this year was $6900 for single payers. Pretty easy to top that via mortgage interest.
Here, there's a fee to pay for the rain that lands on your property. It's a drainage fee - you have to pay the company that operates the storm drains to take it away.
