    Taylor Swift threatens to sue blogger who connected her to white supremacists

    It was probably one of those 'I'll take care of it' moments. Whether it was preceded by a 'do we tell her?' or if she said 'have you seen this/what are we going to do about it?', who knows. You wonder if the guy is going to get fired.

    This is why I’ll never shop at OfficeMax again—even if everything is free

    :D :D Yeah. We're probably at the TL;DR stage. :D :D

    BBC makes a doc about Bill Cosby rape allegations, gets sued over copyright

    I think I'd like to see Carsey-Werner get bitch-slapped back into oblivion.

    Intel will ship processors with integrated AMD graphics and memory

    I guess this is good if you game or do heavy video/graphics work on a notebook. But I game on a desktop, so it's not really a big deal for me. Though I still wonder about the RAM requirements and how that's going to work.

    New hybrid rules for F1 have teams in a tizzy; Ferrari threatens to quit

    At the Detroit races I went to, my race seats were on the top row of the grandstands at the start/finish line. But we could wander around the course on the pedestrian ways and especially down by Cobo, you're right next to the track. You could also be next to the track up by where the Joe Louis...

    New hybrid rules for F1 have teams in a tizzy; Ferrari threatens to quit

    I haven't been to a F1 race since when they were in Detroit, and I can still remember their sounds then. Standing down by Cobo and watching them make the right turn at turn 10 and screaming down West Jefferson to the two lefts on Washington before the short downhill chute to the right turn into...

    My guess is that he knows he's being skewered, and there's not much he can do about it. I figure somebody has texted him about all of this.

    I'm waiting to see what happens on Monday. There doesn't seem to be much going on at Ars on the weekends.

    I would say that would be the best, but it's abundantly clear that not everybody acts that way.

    Elderly doctor: I lost my license because I don’t know how to use a computer

    I'm all for reading further articles that add to the subject at hand, but this is Ars, not AP. Nowhere in the original Ars article is there any links to external sources. :/

    This is why I’ll never shop at OfficeMax again—even if everything is free

    Perhaps it's extremely juvenile. But it's better than screaming and swearing in the face of a real person trying to do their job.

    Elderly doctor: I lost my license because I don’t know how to use a computer

    Fine. My only comment would be that none of the info linked shows up anywhere in the original Ars article, which does change things.

    This is why I’ll never shop at OfficeMax again—even if everything is free

    Interesting. Certainly could well be. It might have even worked if he didn't verbally abuse people to their faces when they were only doing their job. If he, say, taped a few bricks to the box when he returned it to increase the ship weight, it wouldn't have been so personal. The CS...

    This is why I’ll never shop at OfficeMax again—even if everything is free

    Last year, I bought an audio book by mistake. I went to the Amazon site to return it. They told me to seal up the package, put on the return label, and go to the nearest return kiosk. The one I went to was only a few miles away, in a department store. They gave me a code, and when I got...

    Elderly doctor: I lost my license because I don’t know how to use a computer

    I tried to pay my credit card bill online yesterday, and it said 'DB not available, try again later'. Fortunately, it wasn't the actual due date. I can see going to a DB to check for something while the patient waits. Then, when the DB is down, how long will they have to wait? Will the...

    Elderly doctor: I lost my license because I don’t know how to use a computer

    OK. I guess when she said her patients take opioids for pain, then I'll take that as she's the one doing the prescribing.

    Heh! But he's not 84yrs old anymore, so it doesn't fit his criteria. ;)

    Elderly doctor: I lost my license because I don’t know how to use a computer

    My PCP went computer a few years back. She carts around a laptop and does a lot with it at least when I visit. I've noticed that if I saw one of the other Docs at her practice, they're like that as well. They're always typing, talking, some exam, typing again. Recently, I saw one of the...

    Elderly doctor: I lost my license because I don’t know how to use a computer

    Nowhere does the article state she prescribes opioids. What it DOES say is that she can't access the state application to REPORT how many opioids she does prescribe. If she prescribes ZERO, then all she's guilty of is not being able to tell the state her prescription rate is ZERO. We're just...

    Elderly doctor: I lost my license because I don’t know how to use a computer

    Any idea how many of them charge only $50 cash a visit? I suppose a patient can get a freebie by going to the hospital ER, but hasn't it been said that is a burden on a hospital?
