This is flagged by Chrome/Google Safe Browsing. ("braveball_run.exe appears malicious." shows up in the Download bar.) You might want to check out why that's the case. MSSE doesn't have a problem with it, though.

Argh, I saw this two weeks ago, did a "remember to buy this when you get home" thing, and then forgot. I hope the expansion cards are made available somewhere. I enjoy CAH and am glad to send money as new bits are made available. It'd be in

And of course you can't even read what they approved, because this extra-governmental body inexplicably restricts the text of their decisions to a nebulous list of "TIES users". Fucking awful.

You're correct in that it wouldn't help the deficit, but it sure would reduce the cost of airplane tickets (the TSA is funded through a $5 per segment "September 11 Security Fee" added to each ticket.)

The fact that it is 2012 and stores still refuse to just let you give them money and then have them ship you a product is ridiculous. I don't want to sit here and wait for a store to open or for things to come 'back in stock' to buy a phone

These aren't 3rd party apps. They are first-party apps that are shipped with the OS and cannot be removed.

No, this isn't talking about a service. It's talking about apps that come with the system, that can't be removed, that have advertising in them. None of the apps that come with iOS use iAds. Same with Android.

But they can make so much more money dripping out advances. Look at Apple, that's been their entire MO with the iPhone.

Sorry, I don't buy this line of reasoning. The President's (and, by extension, the whole Executive branch's) duty is to 'faithfully execute' the laws. I can't see how a rational person would read this clause as pushing some sort of obligati

Without me (and people like me), they don't have a site. So, yeah, I'm their customer. I'm what makes their site a viable business. I'm about as from "just a user" as you can get. On a ranting note, this attitude is incredibly offensive t

EMV has been trivially broken[1], and it unpopularly pushes the risk of fraud onto the customer. Customers in the US don't want that (especially since EMV is broken!). On top of that, there are a hell of a lot more merchants that would all

It's important to note that "the priesthood" in the Mormon faith is every adult male[1]; so by not permitting Blacks into the priesthood, they were basically not permitted in the church at all. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priesthood_

You have 100 shares of FOO. It is trading at $50. You bought it at $40, so you have a stop-loss order to sell it at $35. Some "liquidity provider"'s algorithm goes haywire and the price drops to $30. The exchange's "circuit breakers" halt t

Do a patent office search for "system and method" and you will discover that they certainly do qualify. There was a period where they did not, but then some appellate court suddenly decided they do and now you get what we have here.

It's incredibly difficult to figure out how much it costs, because none of the rent-to-own websites will give you a price. Instead, it's all bespoke, so that they can rip you off for the largest possible amount. Example: "Aaron’s shopping c

re: 1 They require the payment of $100 a year, to Apple, which certainly implies Apple approval (they could just choose to not take your money and grant you a cert.)
