Hiding file extensions prevents the case where an unsophisticated user is renaming a file, forgets/changes the extension and then causes issues. The warning when changing extensions is a step in the right direction, but a better choice would probably be to show the extension and not allow it to be edited at all without a special rename command or something.

Deceptive or not, I like those cancellation offers to stay. I've gotten 6 months of Uber One for the price of two through those offers. And it's probably the only price I would be willing to pay for Uber One.

How about more than once? I have a GPS status app that I bought a pro license for at a price of $1.55 USD. That was in 2016. I still have the app, the app is still being developed and my pro license is still valid. A license is about $7 now. My Nova Launcher Prime license from 2016, still valid. MediaMonkey Pro, 2015. Still unlocks all the extra features. MediaMonkey desktop has progressed a few versions and I would have get a new license to upgrade. But not so with the Android app, even though it too is still being developed. I would not pay for any of these apps as a monthly subscription or even as a yearly subscription (I don't even use any of them really). But if the developers released a new version and said I had to upgrade my license to continue having unlocked features, I would not object. I don't even see how I *could*. Unlike with Cerberus, I don't recall any of these apps promising me a lifetime of unlocked features. It's been 10 (or nearly 10) years, I've gotten more than my money's worth.

You can have both, really. In regular builds, signature validation will fail and add-ons might not work. In special builds, signature validation can be turned off entirely and you can install whatever you want, including malicious add-ons.

I've just bought a PS4 and I've noticed that, at least among the titles I want to play, split-screen local multiplayer is no more. Figured one of the shooters I had would have it, nope. Went looking for it in Need for Speed, gone. I currently have no PS4 method where I can cathartically shoot my bf in the face or run him off the road. Couples who stay together apparently don't game together... or they have two TVs and two PS4s.

Went to Staples a few months ago. Staples brand 6 ft micro USB cable was $38.99. Even for being in a premium location (Chicago Loop), that's just bullshit. Co-working spaces won't solve the basic problem of Staples being (or having the perception of being) over-fucking-priced.

Congress itself set the method by which executive rulemaking may be overriden by passing the Congressional Review Act. And Congress has the power to disagree with the leaders of these unelected agencies through the confirmation process. Seems constitutional to me.

I watched a pot once... it boiled anyways.

One time, I got contacted by Chase about some charges made while I was in Chicago. No declines, no locked card, no phone call... just an e-mail received 3 days after the fact with a couple of buttons to indicate if the charges were legit or not.

The website explains the brute-forcing thing in a roundabout way... but it does note (emphasis added):

It's hard to believe the National Park Service isn't a historical society of some sort when conservation and preservation of historic sites is their remit.

16 USC 1: "The service thus established shall promote and regulate the use of the Federal areas known as national parks, monuments, and reservations hereinafter specified, except such as are under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Army, as provided by law, by such means and measures as conform to the fundamental purpose of the said parks, monuments, and reservations, which purpose is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."

Oh right: http://developers.slashdot.org...

Despite what the upper level post says, there is no Federal law that imposes a general requirement to accept Federal Reserve Notes in satisfaction of any debt. The legal tender for all debts wording on the face of those notes is derived from Title 31, United States Code, Section 5103 ("United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues. Foreign gold or silver coins are not legal tender for debts."). State and local law may vary and require acceptance of Federal Reserve Notes in satisfaction of a debt. LEGAL tender does not in and of itself mean MANDATORY tender.

An alternative answer to your question would be that you contractually agreed to pay in certain forms and not others. The most restrictive constraint will usually control when there is a conflict between law and a contract.

When I was in high school and they were adding on and renovating, everybody wanted as many classes in the portables as possible because they had air conditioning and our 50 year old school building didn't.

I'm sure more was learned in them than could have been learned in a 90 degree classroom.

A state retains concurrent jurisdiction over crimes committed contrary to state law in that state, even within the "special aircraft jurisdiction". Also, not all criminal offenses committed on an aircraft within the "special aircraft jurisdiction" can be prosecuted as a federal offense.
