I wish some of the users with a big following would organize the other major figures on Twitter to organize a boycott until they dump Trump.

Yes, you did. But I added a story that confirms the practice, as well as how and why they do it. :)

That sounds highly unlikely. Hatcking phones is no easy task for the majority of people, especially remotely. Not to mention that it is highly illegal, and it costs very little to buy lists of phone numbers from legit sources for fractions of a cent per number. People willingly give out their numbers to what they…

This is a stupid non-issue. You even mention the fact that most of these can be changed to a male voice. If there is a problem, it is with you, not digital assistants. Stop the dog whistle BS.

So Cruz and Blackburn are accusing social media companies of robbing Americans of their freedom of speech? That is not how it works. You have freedom to say what you want, but media companies are not obligated to provide you the platform to do so. They can regulate it all they want. If the far right wants to create a…

“Our athletic director (Shawn Heilbron) and coach (Matt) Senk did not realize that the travel ban included Mississippi,” [Stony Brook athletics flak Brian] Miller said. “We knew it was North Carolina, but we did not realize that it included Mississippi.”

This was not listed in the above article, But they are also making calls that mimic your phones local prefix, not just area code. For example, if your number is 212-555-1212, you will get calls from a number listed as 212-555-xxxx(random numbers). Here is a story about this: http://www.businessinsider.com/spam-phone-ca…

He is actually right in the sense that if your options are a CD vs iPhone with iTunes, then the CD is superior. But you are correct in that if you want the best sound possible, then High Res FLAC’s with a DAC is a better way to go. Personally, I have a iPad mini stripped of everything possible and with the Onkyo HF…

Exactly! What sort of secure calls would the head of the EPA be making that would require an isolated phone booth? That makes no sense. At best, he may be picked to be the designated survivor during the State of the Union address.

They don’t use hyperspace missiles for the same reason they don’t use transporters to send themselves to some other part of the ship in Star Trek - because it adds to the drama. There always seems to be a need for Kirk or Spock to run full speed to the engine room or cargo bay or wherever to stop something or start…

Actually, Blade Runner could be on both lists simultaneously...

“In other words, the transition team geniuses apparently did not consider the possibility that federal investigators could easily obtain emails they sent on federal government systems.”

They all behaved like giant assholes at one point or another. Joe finally seemed to redeem himself in the last season. He was by far the worst one though. SPOILERS FOLLOW: Was it my imagination, or did anyone else get the impression that they were setting him up to reveal he had HIV for a while there? There seemed to…

That is explained in the opening of the first show, as I recall.

Even with its Emmy nominations, that show is way under appreciated. One of the best. I’m just glad FX kept it going so they could end on their own terms.

What you describe is exactly what makes so many shows about seeemingly boring or played out subjects so good. Mad Men, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Westworld, The Shield, The Americans, and even The Walking Dead (at times). I know I have left a lot of shows off of that list...

That pretty much goes away by the end of Season 1, and really does not return. The show improves greatly over its entire span. Hang in there, and it will improve greatly and be less tropeish, I promise.

There is always a relevant xkcd. I took a class in PLC programming that had an ongoing project that started out as a simple light with a 4 way intersection with a traffic light in one direction. As the class progressed, we added a light for not directions, then sensors, timers, rush hour programming, off hour…

This article sucks! /s

How can you stand taking this med? Don’t you get the burning, itching sensations? I took it for a year and begged for mercy. It made me sweat constantly and I felt like I was on fire from the inside. They say that it varies in intensity for different people, but I have not yet spoken to anyone who did not have some…
