The development machines used to create satellite software are likely running Windows, but the satellites are more likely to be running a real time OS such as VxWorks, Rodos, RTEMS, etc.

Why was there a regulation in place preventing this in the first place? I don’t get it.

You’re not accounting for the 1 to 7 stock split. 7 * 11.55

21.5% is not what I would consider “most of the population”.

Years ago you could simply tape the prepaid business envelope to a 2”x4” block of wood, a brick, or anything else heavy and the mailman would take it. Too much fun...

This is a naive response I see given to iPhone users when they ask about how to get a certain feature. It’s obvious no research was put into this answer as a sibling comment to yours clearly helped out by suggesting Charles proxy which is now available natively on iOS.

I'm sure Epic doesn't mind given their savings of staying out of Google Play.

Rolling your own or with a combination of VAPS [0] and similar products.

Not necessarily, as there are more regulations for manufacturing factory pollution in the US.

Some parts on a washing machine are definitely designed to break. For example, the couplings [1] on a washing machine are usually made of a plastic material. They are designed to break when introduced to various amounts of stress. Breaking under stress protects the motor from damage (which is a lot more expensive to replace). It's definitely frustrating when the washer breaks down for this reason, but the repair is extremely cheap (< $5 for the actual part, more for labor) if you do it yourself.

In Chicago, I'm currently living in a high rise where the fastest plan I can get is 24 Mbps for around $80/mo. My high rise has an exclusivity contract with AT&T U-Verse. I've spoken with AT&T reps and they can't offer any higher speeds. I also talked to property management and they said there's nothing they can do for me. They are locked into an exclusivity contract with AT&T for the wires in the building.

Does anyone have experience dealing with properties who claim to have exclusivity contracts? I talked to people at Webpass, and they've stated it is available in my area. They'd come in and set everything up free of charge. I don't see the downside for my building to allow Webpass to come in.

This is exciting news! In Chicago, I'm currently living in a high rise where the fastest plan I can get is 24 Mbps for around $80/mo. My high rise has an exclusivity contract with AT&T U-Verse.

I do know the FCC has regulations about exclusivity contracts with video providers, but I couldn't find any documents on things like internet. It seems like my only option is to find a place that does not have exclusivity contracts with providers.

There is a potential flaw I spot in this piece. The author likens the self-liquidation strategy to what the big tobacco companies did. The problem I see with this is that tobacco is a luxury item. For many, oil is an every day necessity.

This leads into the liquidation issue. If companies such as BP were to liquidate, what would happen? The author mentions that non-oil countries should focus on providing resources and knowledge on oil extraction, but would that be enough to prevent price gouging? If there are no competitors selling oil, I could see the prices skyrocketing once the competition has liquidated all of their reserves. Would our knowledge, tools and "know how" be enough to prevent a monopoly on oil? Our only fallback would be to charge more on the services the author suggested we offer instead of oil.

Which justifies OP's response by leaving the site.

This is great news. I'm especially excited about the new ECMA6 features (arrows, etc.)

Blocking at the router level could work. I figure if you have multiple PCs on the network, it could also be easier to maintain.

I believe they also make money from the market makers. MMs will pay for companies like Robinhood to send the flow of trades their way.

When writing raw SQL, I tend to test my queries against the database first with sample queries, then carry them into code once all the logic has been figured out.

Isn't your "Language comprises rules that change over time." statement invalid as well? The word comprises should be used when there exists a definite set of items.

For example: "That house comprises 4 rooms" versus "That house comprises at least 4 rooms". The second statement should be "That house is composed of at least 4 rooms" because the room count is not an exact quantity.

$4.15 billion.

Nobody is forcing the drivers to drive, though.

Does anyone have a mirror? The link appears to be dead.

Is this something that could be accomplished with the help of CCV?

Well, it looks like this server will be nonfunctional for the next 24 hours or so. Thank for you visiting this site...

Is anyone able to upload the PDF anywhere?

I really like this choice. It seems to give a very lightweight feel to a website. It gives enough minimalism to where if you were to use it, it might not have the "Bootstrap" effect being referred in this discussion.

Would this be comparable to Sandboxie? (http://www.sandboxie.com/)

Can I ask what her first name was? I used to work the exact same job. They moved all their operations to Oklahoma City and I helped with the transition.
