The son's name was Fred Finger, and he died unmarried in his 40's due to complications from AIDS.

The guy above was joking.

The Georgia GOP is going to get itself caught up in federal RICO charges at this rate.

I wonder how that would work.

That’s how it’s supposed to work, but in many counties the bondsman doesn’t actually front any cash to the court, and they don’t get charged if the suspect runs. They operate as a sort of slush fund for the owners, the officials, and the cops.

So these companies are often just another way to siphon money from people accused of a crime.

Super shady stuff.

If they used SMS those records are still around.

Or did they use something else?

I mean, illegal online transactions are like the one place where crypto really shines.

And the thing is, there are open source internet browsers that can be written to avoid any browser checks that a law might require.

However, if Google’s browser DRM gets widely implemented, a browser-side content blocker would be effective, because all those open source browsers would be unable to access the wider web.

I think if Big Brother Browser with Google DRM is our future, we’re going to see people using 2 browsers as standard. They’ll have one “corporate” internet browser, for Instagram, Amazon, whatever. And one “free” browser for all the grey area stuff.

Plex shares (I actually use an Emby share) are what streaming should have been after cable.

It’s the perfect service, everything all in one spot for a reasonable fee.

I’d pay up to $100 a month for that legally, but instead the studios want to bleed me dry.

So they get nothing.

Way differently.

Soldered RAM is much much closer to the CPU, and so the time it takes for signals to propagate back and forth is significantly reduced…

You’re getting heavily downvoted by people who obviously don’t understand how RAM works. Or how computers work?

Guys, Apple is shitty, we all know this, but onboard RAM is the least of their anti-consumer practices.

The problem with socketed RAM is the length of the traces going back to the CPU. That 100% reduces performance (and battery life) by a significant amount. Especially when using that socketed RAM as iGPU VRAM.

Dell’s CAMM standard reduces the latency compared to SODIMM, for socketed RAM, but what we really need is for someone like Apple to invest R&D into really tiny RAM sockets that are super close to the CPU, instead of researching ways to lock users out.

That’s disingenuous.

The point is to seem like he’s got a plan for the migrant crisis by bussing them out of state.

And if he sends them to Blue states where services are better for undocumented migrants, isn’t that better for the individuals? Or would they really be better off in Texas?

Regardless, my point is, if you don’t try to understand why your political opponent is doing something, you’ll never be able to fix anything.

Sure it does.

It makes teachers wonder why, yet again, they’re being forced to bear the brunt of the culture war, and they’re going to eventually quit.

Then the schools won’t be able to find good teachers, the education system will be further deteriorated, and private schools will become the only schools worth attending, further eroding the future prospects of working-class Floridian children and America as a whole.

I don’t think that’s the grand strategy at play, I just think the people in charge don’t care if it happens, as long as they get enough praise from their voters.

That’s generally how it works.

Soldiers were sharing nuclear secrets in flash card apps.

Just because someone has a secret clearance, doesn’t mean they’ve ever been told that the entire Internet is siphoning their data in any way possible.

But Google takes their security super seriously, and the only person they’re sharing our data with is the government.

That’s not a good thing, but if you need a chat app that pretty much everyone already has installed, for non-sensitive conversations, you could do much worse than Google Meet.

House arrest in Trump’s giant resort mansion.

It makes sense, but it’s more than a little unsatisfying.

Personally I’d love to see Trump in ADX Florence.

I think I’d be more interested in finding a cardiologist at that point.

How does nuking multiple cities not contribute to the American war effort?

There are 1000 decision making paths you can follow in regards to the atomic bombing of Japan, which wasn't decided lightly, but ultimately the prevailing understanding is correct.

This "holier than thou" alternate history thing you have going on is, sorry to say, it's delusional.
