I can only imagine, that if you're not astro-turfing here, you've simply forgotten that not everyone can afford to actually study for a driver's license, let alone needs one or can even get their hands on a car to use one, or to take the written test. Yes, some states require you own a car to be able to take the initial driving test. This is obviously a higher burden than state-issued "I'm 18 years old" ID's that only poor kids get because rich kids who don't need them already had parentally-funded drivers education classes and DMV tests.
I didn't imply it, I flat out accused you of it. Then you proved me right by spending your sockpuppet mod points on me then quickly replied 4 times anonymously with equally absurd attempts to distract from the fact I just caught you in your own logical trap, bigot.
The left isn't trying to eliminate voter registration laws and you know it. They're just trying to stop the right from making the process more difficult to qualify for than a driver's license. Remember, we actually want more people to vote, not less, to have more certainty of a fair voting outcome. Or is that the part you're opposed to, the part where you're forced to allow everyone to vote even if they have brown skin and don't go to your church?
LinkedIn has worked hard to maintain consumer goodwill and trust? Since fucking when!? Even if you don't register, they populate a profile for you with data from other people searching for your non-existent profile, and then show it to other people without distinguishing you from an actual registered user. Add to that the JavaScript XSS vulnerabilities they've been plagued with since day 1 because they don't hire as well as they help other people hire, and you will probably see why I'm not buying any of this trustworthiness crap.
Back when that was true, that they were receiving that much money from Google, it was well before they had slumped in security, and you know it very well. Besides which, most the "Firefox vulnerabilities" were actually vulnerabilities in 3rd party plugins or extensions that only supported Firefox.
Heartbleed was vulnerable upstream for a very long time. It didn't survive very long after being pushed to Debian stable before it was noticed though. You are probably vastly mistaken about the percentage of critical systems running bleeding-edge builds of stuff in the real world.
Yea, but nobody who knows what they're talking about takes noob complaints about BASH vulnerabilities seriously. Sometimes you simply ARE using the wrong tool for the job. I know you Windows users hate being told that though.
The problem with this justification is primarily that it ignores the fact that it leaves the beer, wine and liquor market of PA in an effectively locked-in monopoly, massively reducing the selection of product, and making it practically impossible for smaller competing brands to penetrate it. Trying to shift the topic of discussion from where the money is going to nebulous "morality" is just a smokescreen for a lame textbook argument-winning tactic. It distracts from what is really going on here, and why.
This doesn't seem legal. Don't get me wrong, I get that this may not defy the letter of the law, but it certainly sabotages the intent. First the liquor, now this. Who is gonna move to PA now unless they absolutely have to?
Actually, in lots of The States it is in fact illegal to record people without their knowledge/consent. In those states, evidence gathered this way without a warrant is typically (always?) inadmissible in a court of law.
Don't underestimate the cost of water lost to evaporation. Sprinkler systems are hugely inefficient, especially in more arid climates where, coincidentally, at least in Northern America, most your food comes from. Quite conceivably, "precision watering" could save enough water to cover the cost of the electricity. Future models could easily use existing technology to extend the same watering strategy over a larger area too, and for infrastructure costs that could easily become cheaper at scale than sprinkler-style irrigation piping.
Turns out this is the setting of the world in which your character lives in Megaman Battle Network 2 (Nintendo GBA). Its not really the plot, but as a setting for a world it makes some interesting but subtle social commentary. First of all, it just assumes this is the "right way" for the internet to work and that it always has been thus, and doesn't debate it with you. You're along for the ride in a world where:
1) Just connecting to the internet in another country requires a Passport. 2) The internet is not as safe in every country. In fact, they're all incrementally more dangerous than your home country's internet. 3) The space on the internet between country jurisdictional borders is very hostile. 4) Viruses roam freely, attacking anything in their sight. Nobody seems to know why they are there. They just take for granted that they must always have been there or are naturally occurring.
What really matters is what percentage of nodes are compromised, and whether the rest of us reading Slashdot right now can fix this issue forever by each just enabling a few new clean exit nodes?

(Instead of spending billions on this mad A.I. boondoggle though, they probably should have hired me to write whatever it was instead.)

Yes, I know that, obviously. It comes up again and again. You should have replied to the parent statement with this. It will do him more good than me.

EVERY type of government-issued picture ID is easier to get than a driver's license. You obviously don't have a driver's license, idiot.

I'd have been more impressed if it was at least an original rant, but its actually decades-old copypasta.

Its just memcache for hipsters.
There's too much money in social media, just like there's too much money in politics.
Yea but just imagine what they could accomplish if they were funded even half as well as your average Microsoft product.

He's not a greybeard he's a paid astro-turfer. Learn to recognize the difference early and you'll come out ahead in life.
I used to wonder. Hearing about this type of shit doesn't fill me with wonder though. It fills me with certainty.
lol seriously.

... suddenly get a picture in their heads of that scene from "The Princess Bride" where Vizzini talks about how he was hired to start a war?
