They don't cost "a bit more", they cost several times more for a display of equal size. 55" displays go for anywhere from $1,500 up to several thousand dollars. Yes, it's an option, but be upfront about what it's going to cost.

I get my internet service over cable. There is, however, no cable connected to my television.

Attached to: Elon Musk Announces That Raptor Engine Test Has Set New World Record
Delta rockets run on hydrogen and oxygen. Atlas uses kerosene and oxygen. Falcon uses kerosene and oxygen. Blue Origin's smaller engine uses hydrogen and oxygen, and the big one under development uses methane and oxygen. SpaceX's new engine under development uses methane and oxygen. Soyuz uses oxygen and kerosene. Long March (other than 2) uses oxygen and kerosene.
Methane is somewhere in the neighborhood of $0.0025 per kg. NASA's numbers from 2001 say hydrogen was $3.66 per kg and oxygen was $0.16 per kg. Kerosene is $0.79 per kg.
UDMH is not a common rocket fuel. Other than Long March 2F and Proton, you don't see a lot of UDMH outside of upper stages (because it's ridiculously nasty stuff, expensive, hard to work with, and doesn't provide very good specific impulse. Really the only redeeming quality of the stuff is that it's hypergolic with various oxidizers.

But I think the point is, in this case, it means "Microsoft's computer", and that's where their money is coming from now. They're not so worried about Windows or Linux, because their business looks a lot different now than it did 13 years ago.

If you purchased 3 Note 9s, you're definitely out of my price range. They're very nearly twice the price of this 6T.

Attached to: Alternatives to PuTTY for Windows SSH client?
I run Arch on WSL, and use OpenSSH. There's no better solution than the real, standard SSH client running natively.

Attached to: MoviePass' New Business Plan Is To Charge You Whatever It Wants
This doesn't make sense, currently. While you are absolutely correct that theaters make little on the seats themselves (as I understand it, the studios take a percentage of each ticket sold, which starts at "nearly everything" in the first weeks, and diminishes to "very large percentage" later on), MoviePass subscribers pay exactly the same to the theater that any other purchaser does. MoviePass doesn't (yet) have special deals with theaters for lower ticket prices. A theater full of MoviePass subscribers represents exactly the same ticket revenue as one without any MoviePass subscribers. There's also the theory that a moviegoer who paid nothing for a ticket might be more likely to spend on concessions.

I mean, personally, I find bash's syntax awful, and powershell's functional-ish syntax not so bad, but that's just me. At least they didn't base it off of Windows' batch language.

What does "full BASH support" mean? You seem hung up on the syntax. If bash's syntax was universally accepted as "the best", then we wouldn't have things like csh, zsh, fish, etc with differing syntax.

If you're going to illegally stream your media, you might as well do it for free.
