We still use the dvd service for this reason. In particular, we like their selection of documentaries and oddball foreign movies. Their dvd selection is better than their electronic selection.

Sadly, it looks like I will be using less firefox. On the plus side I will get some of that missing memory back.

A better analogy would be she found the pick-up truck in the ditch full of cash, and found someone with an even bigger truck willing to pull it out of the ditch so it could be stripped down for parts. You know, the usual stuff.

Not sure why this is considered off topic. If you look at the stories on this site the political/partisan stories get the most comments. There is clearly a higher participation rate for these kind of stories on this site. Some of us may wish this were just a tech site, but that is not the case.

I was more excited to see Oracle absent from that list. I *wish* I could do without them. Unfortunately, management feels otherwise.

Not only that, but it is kind of shocking that other companies do not want to go to every rooftop and shout out how they are on par with Samsung with respect to battery safety.

Send them back? Wow, are you going to be shocked when you read the article. Maybe slashdot should adopt those crazy titles like "You cannot believe how long IT professionals have to wait in India" and then put on some unrelated, suggestive picture for the link. Of course, then, folks at slashdot would start wondering why nobody takes them seriously. Oh wait...

Why do they care what they do with the supposedly "free" gift that they give me. The only reason to do this is to assert their power over me and make me do what they want. WHen someone gives me something then it no longer belongs to them and is none of their business what I do with it.

I for one am glad that robots will soon be big. I have always hoped to live in an age where robots are a thing. Making them big is just the icing on the mechanical cake.

Cyclists not following the rules of the road are also a problem. I ride my bike to work, and it drives me nuts to see people riding irresponsibly. There are times when an accident occurs. and the fault is due to the actions of a cyclist or a pedestrian. There are also times when the fault is due to the person driving the car. Personal responsibility is something for everyone. When a driver or rider is at fault and kills someone then they should be held accountable.

This is far too common in the US, and many people are killed by cars. This has less to do with pokemon and more to do with understanding the responsibility of piloting a large moving object with people around.

You have me beat then.

Meh, if they had purchased it from the US the actual equipment would have been made in China anyway. The only difference is which set of suits gets to skim the profits off the back of which Chinese workers.
