I don't understand this. There are super cheap shared-hosting plans the allow you to just do a couple clicks to install WordPress with full control. Then about $13/yr for a .com with no trouble with SSL or Google.

AT&T had to pay $4B for failure to acquire T-Mobile. T-Mobile used that money quite wisely.

In middle school (age 11-13 in the late '90s, USA) I had a hand-me-down Palm Pilot (probably upgraded to Handspring in there). I'd leave it on my serial(?) port cradle and have it download my daily news from sites like IGN and Sla

Because of the lowered cost of launching on this particular New Glenn. By the time of the next window BO will be able to command more money for a less-risky launch.

No, Kimmel accused Trump supporters of publicly trying to distance themselves from the shooter.

Many media outlets reported Trump was mad that any of his staff had reporter contacts in the first place. If your assertion is true that would be the quick end to Waltz's short career.

I don't get it either. Over on Reddit I'm getting lambasted for saying that a Berkshire company's $6000 deductible for an employee's family health insurance is a raw deal in a memoriam thread (even with $0 premium). Thes

Walmart and Kroger have had their own disputes with Visa (for one example) and (at least Kroger) started blocking some of their cards at select chains in order to negotiate a better deal. Costco has super tight margins. The the point that w

It's basically THE WAY to get authorizations for medical practices to get prescriptions approved for patients in the US. Ridiculous. (Along with a bunch of other medical logins.)

He was pretty talented too. He even said later in life that if he grew up during the age of (good) rap music he probably wouldn't have been a politician: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/201

That sounds about right. Similar time to when I was seeing TV shows talk about to to reach them on CompuServe, AOL, then just straight up WWW websites. I especially remember my dad saying, "Well, it's definitely happening now if w

And working in good faith to resolve the merchant's problem and rectify the issue can often prevent a lawsuit in the first place. You're overthinking it.

I've never had a merchant sign an NDA for me to fix their problem and/or transfer funds to reconcile a processing error, lol.

I was about to reply to you, then I realized I was typing out a guide on how to commit credit card fraud. Not this time! ;) (I worked for 6 years in that side of the industry. Particularly when it might apply to point of sale software.)

I'm imagining the same for parents who don't control their kids. Someone has to vouch for them.

I think a more fair characterization of reddit at that time was firmly anti-theism. I'm not religious, but I definitely remember those days from when I was still the primary demographic of Reddit (early 20s male in college, hyper-jacke

r/atheism was a default sub in those days. r/politics was mostly Ron Paul. Both things can be true at the same time without working together.

Portland, Oregon (of all places) has an old nickname of "Stumptown' because they cut all the trees down for buildings, sidewalks/roads over the mud, ships, etc. Not that you'd be able to tell by looking at it these days.

In the early days the primary political jockeying was for Ron Paul. That's pretty far-right. For culture-war it was pro-atheism.

She did go to the police with the threats. They sent her away. Now what's the plan if authorities won't act? Wait for congress to hold hearings on one's behalf after the violence is done? Most police wouldn't be happy wi
