and don't forget the small print "plus taxes, fees, and equipment charges"

All FIOS junk goes straight to the recycling bin because their advertised numbers are just meaningless noise.

There was one website that I only needed to visit once a year to download my annual tax form, their passwords expired in some time less than one year, so every time I visited my password was expired and needed to be reset.

So... you need to choose a hard password, that you will use exactly once, a year from when you choose it. ha!

So I still don't have a facebook account.... can I stop wondering do I or don't I?

And why does sports programming cost so much? Because they bid up the price to unrealistic levels because cable subscribers have no choice but to pay the sports fee. (* this is one of those "plus additional fees x, y and z" that is part of all cable promotional ads.)

ESPN's cost is one of the big reasons why I cut the cord. Don't watch sports, don't want to pay for sports. Don't want to subsidize the whole sports and sports media industrial complex.

If you're like somebody I know you'll take all those leaked passwords and put them in a forbidden password dictionary too! After all, those leaked passwords are all known good working passwords.

That's not how most H1B visa owners work.
Truly the simplest solution is just to transfer the ownership of the visa from the employer to the employee. Because it's not the H1B worker who's the problem, it's the companies who own them.

If there aren't enough workers with skill Y, then sure let's get them over here, then you compete to employ them just like any other worker. Stop paying sub standard wages to your effectively indentured servants.

I once transcribed a program from a magazine into my first computer... as a hex dump.
The magazine chose a font where 0, 8, and B were practically identical. That's ~20% of the hexadecimal digit space that's confusing.

I guess I was a glutton for punishment, because I did get the program to run.

Where can I download this "progressive enhancement" framework that you speak of?

Realize also that if a company keeps another dollar, then at least today, they tend to give most of that dollar to the company executives and the shareholders. No one else. (* I would add additionally that it seems many companies would rather just pay the executives and screw the shareholders *)

For Apple, both groups of people tend to reside in the US.

companies are multinational.
people are not.

Imagine that Apple didn't pay taxes, but only their shareholders did... which country would get that tax money?

Yes, stop letting them frame the debate as personal "privacy" versus national "security"

This is about personal SECURITY versus national security.

Every day people get hacked, corporations get hacked, the government gets hacked. We need more personal security not less.

Well of course Google News makes money for Google.
They wouldn't run that service if it didn't.

The content providers get their share when they provide news that people want to read (i.e. click through to).
