  Re: try bying an airline ticket

  on Washington Post Charges An 'Activation' Fee To Let You Pay Them To Get Around Their Paywall
  I got some tickets on SkyBus for $10 each back in the day. Our total cost for 4 tickets was $40...plus $80 in taxes and airport fees.
  
  How about that 200% in extra charges?

  Close?

  on Security Startup MedSec Shorts St. Jude Medical Stock To Punish It For Flimsy Pacemaker Security
  If you're that close, you could use a knife or a gun.
  
  While this is a concern, a murderer is a murderer and will find any means necessary to murder.

  on T-Mobile Declares It's On 'The Right Side Of History' As It Laughs At Net Neutrality
  I was with them as long as Binge On provided an optional customer benefit that could be completely shut off.

  on Nice Officials Say They'll Sue Internet Users Who Share Photos Of French Fashion Police Fining Women In Burkinis
  Oh believe me. As soon as enough Muslims move in and declare Sharia Law (as in Lebanon, for example), they WILL demand that all women cover up.

  Re:

  on Donald Trump Has Freed Up Journalists' Ability To Call Bullshit; But It Won't Last, Nor Extend To Others
  To be unbiased, I would expect them to call out all of Hillary's lies in a similar fashion.
  
  But I'm not expecting that. Because I believe they are biased.

  Re: Why Cord Cutting Shouldn't Surprise You

  on Remember Claims That Cord Cutting Was On The Ropes? It's Actually Worse Than Ever
  Since you sound like a Republican, might I recommend Blue Bloods and Hawaii Five 0, which both lean that direction much of the time.

  And they could post audio instead of video in that case. Just as newsworthy, but not as damaging to his privacy.
  
  This is pretty much exactly what happened with the Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

  Re: Yay for individual sports!

  on Here Is The End Result Of The USOC And NBC's Over-Protectionist Olympic Nonsense

  on Comcast/NBC Ignores Lessons From The Cord Cutting Age, Buries Olympics Under An Ocean Of Annoying Advertising
  Watched the Opening Ceremony there but now cbc.ca is trying to copy NBC. They had more commercials during the opening ceremonies than ever. I had to go all the way to England to get a decent show.

  Jury nullification

  on Police Get Facebook To Kill Livestream Of Standoff Which Ended With Suspect Being Shot To Death
  Remember, folks. If 9 cameras fail simultaneously (or even 2), they clearly have something to hide.
  
  Just declare the person not guilty. It's that simple.
