The money isn't sitting under a matress somewhere. It is all invested in some way or another.

If we do away with the electoral college, then 40+ states will have exactly zero say in who gets elected as president.
Good luck getting their representatives to agree to such a change.

Attached to: Samsung Thinks Millennials Want Vertical TVs
I have one vertical and one horizontal screen on my desktop. The vertical screen is good for inspecting log files and db results. It's also good for coding since I limit my line length, but when I'm looking at other folk's code that aren't so disciplined, I end of using the horizontal screen.

How did you determine that 50% male, 50% female is the correct answer?
Seems arbitrary.

It's my understanding that large companies may have in-house lawyers providing support, but bring in outside firms to represent them in court.
So this likely did cost Apple something.

Attached to: Google Proposes Changes To Chromium Browser That Will Break Content-Blocking Extensions, Including Various Ad Blockers
I still use FireFox at home. Mostly because I've never found a mouse gestures extension that I like as much as the one I have in FireFox, but also because Chromium doesn't do the sidebar like FireFox does.
Speed is not an issue. Both are plenty fast.
All the claims about FireFox being a memory hog seem strange to me. My experience is that Chomium (on Linux) and Chrome (on Windows 10) blow through memory faster than FireFox on either.

you can replace the battery on the Samsung. Replacement parts are available on-line and there are videos on how to do it. The original battery is glued in, but it's pretty easy to break the glue bonds. Then connecting the new battery is trivial.

"Hold on while I boot my computer. I'm glad you called because it's been slow lately."
Then I mute my phone, set it down, and continue on with my day. Eventually they hang up.

Attached to: After 20 Years, OpenSSL Will Change To Apache License 2.0, Seeks Past Contributors
If the devs were okay with the previous licenses, what are they likely to object to in the proposed license?
I don't think I've ever heard anyone rant against Apache 2.0.

Gentoo lets you use systemD if you want to, hence the availability of systemD packages for Gentoo.
However, OpenRC is the default.

Is that true of the new iPhones that have dedicated hardware for holding the encryption key?

So if you have a group of 6 or more, this would be a good deal in your case.
In my case, this is a good deal for 3 or more.

So if this product has any amount of success we should expect to see cheaper competitors that use lead acid cells, right?
That hardly seems like a bad thing.
