Most international students pay full pop for tuition. Expensive as hell, always has been.

A bank teller tried to screw me around with this before. I had a card that was old so my signature was faded. I needed to do a transaction on the business account and she refused my card saying it was not signed.

I got in an heated discussion with her saying it is signed, you can see it, it's only faded. She said she could not see it and refused me service again. I got out of the line up and signed the card at the next teller station and got back in line.

Got the same teller and she refused me *again*, I guess because she wanted to be right. At that point the manager came over and asked what was wrong. After looking at my signature and looking at the account, the manager got all ashen-faced because the business did millions with them each year, but I was only in a t-shirt and jeans and did not regularly come in. But I was one of the signing authorities for the account.

They then let my transaction through. Wasted an hour of my day, over a lousy signature.

In a world where everyone is connected, privacy becomes the valued commodity.

Did you go to a pizza parlour with a rifle as well?

Anonymous account spewing nonsense without citations is just more fluffery.

AMD made some huge mistakes but Intel was blatantly anti-competitive/abusive against AMD and got fined in the US, Europe and had to settle with AMD for billions of dollars.

AMD wasn't exactly partying like they ruled the world, the deck was stacked against them by Intel when AMD had a superior product.

HFS+ uses largely single-threaded data structures which require catalog file locks that that make it hard for multiple processes to access the same data at once.

This is probably why you're seeing corruption, and why HFS+ pretty much sucks as a modern file system.

But not faster. Kids' last minute homework projects etc. Last minute printouts of a map or location off the grid...

Trump DOES get credit for this, Intel lobbied hard to get Dodd-Frank repealed and Trump is going to do so. Intel gives credit to Trump for jobs while Intel gets to buy conflict minerals again.

+1 for big business. -1 for the good of humanity. Fits Trump's intentions perfectly.

Damn that Samsung copies everything so fast!

No, Apple has went back to calling the latest release MacOS Sierra. OS X "version name" is no more.

I think you could, since harvesting/robbing is not invasive now, and a harvest yields kilograms of honey, you could probably go outside in your fluffy robe and turn the handle and dribble some honey on your toast, close the tube and wander back inside.

Looking pretty decent. Not crap on first look, but more investigation needed.

This is because your country probably doesn't have *red light cameras*. The issue here isn't the countdown timer, it is the fact that no one wants to get a red light infraction fine.

Thus the people braking are afraid of 'running the red' whilst the normal flow of traffic is disrupted. It is this attempt to change behaviour that is causing all the accidents. Longer yellow lights cure the anxiety of braking early to avoid the fine, yet municipalities have been evidenced to shorten the duration of yellow lights. Why? Because it generates more revenue for them and the camera operator company.

Just follow the money and see where it goes. People are injured 'in the name of safety' when this is another side effect of the corrupt nanny state.

Isn't that the whole point of having a democracy that is free and transparent? Doing illegal acts on a large scale and lying about it *needs* to be reported, especially when the bad actor is your own government. And if the government will not do anything about it internally, then it needs to be taken to the public.

Otherwise governments have no disincentive to act against the individuals that the government is supposed to 'protecting'.

Snowden did not reveal any operatives' names nor did he leak the data to the public wholesale, the data has gone to accredited journalists and the evidence has shown that the NSA has likely violated the law many times and tried to do end runs even against the limited court monitors that it did have.

Don't cut off the hand that pointed out the gangrenous foot. The NSA has a big ethics problem, and it needs to be reformed. Hope and change and all that.
