    Stupid people. There is only one way to make money, invest, every month, keep putting money in a investment account, roughly $300-500 a month, do that for 30 years. While there is no guarantees, better than the damn lottery.

    More news on ATSC 3.0...

    This is a bit harsh, but in the case of OTA TV, the FCC is too passive. DRM does not serve the public interest, and shouldn't be allowed on our airwaves without public benefit.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    The people who run the games know that people want to play for larger jackpots. Mega used to be $1 while PowerBall was $2. Then Mega went to $2, and now $5. The bigger the jackpot, the more people play because people don't make smart decisions.
