Being sexually predatory?

The guys with the calibrated monitors at the gaming studio aren't the ones that get to have the most fun.

In Indiana, 75% of the electricity comes from burning coal.

The other companies have a century of a symbiotic relationship with the huge network of petroleum fuel station owners. They don't need to build their own infrastructure because they don't view it as their objective to put gas stations out of business. Two or three charging stations at many of the existing gas stations sounds pretty good, and also much less expensive to roll out.

Nah, Mercedes isn't a one shot wonder.

True, but Tesla has been saying 'up yours' to the mainstream automotive fuel industry. The other automakers have long and congenial relationships with the established gas station chains. Think of the convenience if there was a charging station added at nearly every gas station in the world. You wouldn't have to frequent a specifiC 'network' of charging stations. Gas stations can just add a charging station or two. Which is a lot cheaper than what Tesla has done.

I know from personal experience that, for one example, the AlbionOnline (MMO game) subreddit is controlled and operated by employees of Sandbox Interactive, the company that makes and sells the game. They quash any meaningful criticism of the game in the Reddit forums.

So that is an example of heavy bias in a Reddit forum where the mods are quite well paid for their effort.

It was years later before I could afford a calculator without an equal key that blew the stack when you pressed it.

My first was an HP-11c. Damn fine calculator, they still sell on the used market for a lot to people who actually use them.

There is even a company, SwissMicros, selling a modern clone of the HP-15c, and other very nice RPN calculators.

I wouldn't call Alex Jones a 'far right wing' player. I'd call him a nutcase cultist. Back when I used to read the Drudge Report page (I quit frequenting it awhile back) if a link from Drudge took me to infowars.com I had a habit of instantly closing the page, because that site is a loony nest. This was particularly the case during the 2016 election, because you're not doing yourself a favor by hanging out in a loony echo chamber if you have sincere beliefs in a thought out political philosophy. There are similar fever swamps on the left, of course.

This is an aside, but I was trawling around on the left political sites this weekend and noticed that the main Trotskyite newspaper in the US is now apparently defending Trump of all things.

Now this is a nerd story we can all enjoy.

I bought what I could afford a T.I. SR-56, the year I graduated from High School. There was no way I could afford a full computer. I spent a lot of time programming that thing.

Welcome to Slashdot. Don't let it worry you much. The denizens of Slashdot are in no way shape or form typical Americans.

When the US spends $43B on it's military in Germany, the bulk amount of that money goes to US suppliers of said military, plus wages to the US soldiers. Some of that money makes it's way into the German economy, but a bunch of it stays with US companies and citizens.

Not a lot of Americans know much about the Road and Belt initiative, which is kind of frightening.

The original European settlers were settlers, not immigrants. They did not inject themselves into an established country as immigrants. They bootstrapped the whole thing themselves, with encouragement from enlightened Europeans, especially the French.
