Amazon probably didn’t agree to give them a cut on cable sales like they do on other things promoted here...

Simon & Garfunkel don’t rock. And Eric Clapton belongs in there for more reasons than Cream. That’s sort of like including Buffalo Springfield (which you should have) without mentioning Neil Young separately.

Basic economy. So a center seat between strangers and no carry on.

I’ve always thought the missing mouse functionality (hover/right-mouse context menu) was the reason tablets haven’t replaced laptops and that Windows devices were still better at working with/without touch screens. Maybe ipadOS will finally fix that.

Does the ipad show a mouse cursor if you connect one?   Are there mouse-hover popups on anything or right-mouse context menus like are needed for more complex desktop applications?

Do you have a mouse/trackpad with the keyboard or do you have to use the touchscreen for positioning and scrolling?

Don’t forget that Apple probably owes its existence today to the ploy of giving away the windows version of itunes so there would be an actual user base interested in ipod hardware.

If you want to cut down on abortions, look at the low rate in Canada and how they manage it.

Disney never does anything in a small way...

Just wait - you can go back when you are all old enough to drink around the world.  If it’s some big birthday, maybe the kids will buy.

Meh, getting involved in helping to crack passwords to get classified information is not journalism. Even if your involvement level is ‘I know a guy...’.

Once you get to the right category, there may be separate additional lines for each step of the activity, like getting your vision test, getting your picture taken, getting each form processed.   Those sort-of make sense, but the first one could generally be skipped with an appropriate sign at the right counters.

Is it normal for a kiosk to not print the boarding pass or was that an unusual situation? In the US you can do it all on your phone, or print them online from anywhere. You just wait in line for TSA to check them with your ID and again at the gate as you board. I did notice the process was different the one time I

I normally buy the desktop version of TurboTax anyway, looking for a sale on the Deluxe version that includes a state version. And then I print it out and mail it in to avoid the extra charge for the state filing and also because if the government doesn’t want to provide a free online system, they can damn well read a

At every DMV I’ve visited, the person in the first ‘line director’ position was having 5 minute conversations with everyone before telling them what a sign over the correct line would have shown them in the first place. I was really happy when I found a nearby ‘express’ driver’s license renewal office where there was

Does every DMV in the country have the policy that everybody has to wait in one line when they first come in, and then get directed to the correct line to wait for the specific thing they need?

If only there were some high tech device to safely immobilize someone that a police officer could carry and choose to use instead of lethal force.

She has a point about blaming the parents. I mean, who is going to let their child sleep over with a weird guy who wants children to sleep over with him? Even if he is rich.

Just get one of the wifi scanning apps (maybe android/windows only?) to show the channels/power levels of other active signals and change your own router to the least active channel.   Normally your router should do that by itself, and in the 5Ghz range there’s enough space to make conflicts less likely.

How about just not trashing the room in the first place?
