    Fair enough. Its one thing to call it click-bait, its another to say it shouldnt be here at all.

    Believe me, Americans are baffled by the religious extreme in our country too. I dont think i will ever go to Utah, for any reason because of extreme theocratic control. Sure its still America, but your neighbors will be pricks if you arent one of them (mormon)

    Stop trying to pin scarlet letters on people. It should disqualify you for a TIME, not forever.

    What kind of vetting do you want? What kind of crimes would be considered unsuitable for driving others? Is there a time limit? Could someone with a negligent homicide be able to vetted or do you think that person shouldn't be able to work at all? When you say vetted, what exactly do you mean?

    Hold on. Why 'no criminal record'? Does that include ALL crimes? What happened to 'hes paid his debt to society'?

    We are not Joe-Six-Pack here at Slashdot. We have no need for this kind of dumbed down article, its beneath us.

    Why does the fridge data need to go out to a third party before reporting to me? That is the shit im sick of. Give me ways to access the data LOCALLY inside my own loop.

    Yes, entertainment is damn close to a right. It comes right after survival needs. Humans NEED entertainment, its why we are so prolific at it.

    This event has already occurred, it just wasnt called Internet of Things. IN short, this is pure click-bait.

    Customer ratings. I have thought a lot about this and the point you raised. Its better to teach everyone to be their own curator than to pay others to curate, in an Information Age.

    And? Thats the cost of doing business. You dont get to just handwave those costs associated with hiring humans away. People have babies, account for it in your business model, or we will fuck you in court.

    Men get paternity leave too......This is the part im talking about not accounting for. You HAVE to accept that even key employees MALE OR FEMALE will need time off for children.

    Happy Birthday should be Public Domain via ubiquity (similar to how Trademarks lose to cultural ubiquity). There is no reason to continue to allow someone to seek payments for something so incredibly ingrained in culture.

    This is like saying 'If you walk into Tiffany's, but dont buy anything, you are freeloading their HVAC system.'

    Why? Ad revenue based models should DIE. They are pointless in an Information Age where everyone should be informed and capable of making their own choices.

    Exactly. There is no reason to apologize, advertisers brought this upon themselves. First it was pop ups, then Netsend then JS injection. Its a WAR, and we got sick of playing nice.

    What you are saying is you merely have a different threshold than others. You still block, but somehow your threshold is the proper one...

    Do you want to see Idiocracy come to pass? Are you really ok with the absolute MASSIVE amount of advertising we are exposed to every day? Webmasters brought Adblock upon themselves.

    If an employee is out for several months, do you count that time when considering raises? I wouldnt. Thats why women with children make less.

    Welcome to LIFE 101. Humans have kids, if your business runs on such thin margins that you cant account for that, YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS HIRING EMPLOYEES, period. Humans have babies, it MUST be accounted for. If you are running your business without accounting for this, then you are a shitty human.

  25. I really do play old games. Currently have installed Shogo:Mobile Armor Division, Descent II, Monkey Island, Unreal Tournament, Half-Life 1, Pilotwings, F-Zero, Tekken 2, Super Metroid right alongside current AAA titles. Btw, I have every right to have the Pilotwings, super Metroid and F-Zero Roms, I own the physical carts (Sony v Universal), no need to resort to piracy. Those games play perfectly well in 2014, even on big screens.
