"Tall people are free to purchase bulkhead and emergency row seats right now. If you are super-sized you need to plan ahead to make sure you can find seating that fits you, business/first class is also an option but it also fills up."
WE charge passengers based on them being HUMAN, not their size or weight. Passengers are HUMANS, not cargo that has to conform to certain standards. If the airliner fails to accommodate for human variation, THEY ARE AT FAULT, not the human.
Id like to see you try it with someone who is actually intimidating. I assure you if i want to recline, i will. If you dont like it, take it up with the airline. If you want to get physical ill let you hit me a few times before i gouge your eye out.
Stallman is the crazy outlier. Where he stands, at the very edge, is exactly where we need him to be. You dont have to follow all of it, but there would be less of his ideas if he was more concerned with being central and accessible. There is a point to Stallman being far out there, its so the rest of us dont have to. Let him do his thing.
Its racist to acknowledge language barriers? ITs racist to expect that people attending an American university be able to speak English to participate in group assignments? Or do you expect the American students to learn Arabic, Mandarin and Somali?
I got news for you, desktop support is a TINY slice of what you think I.T is. And yes we support, not train. And often your desktop is my customer, not you, as laid out in inter-dept SLAs. The reason I.T. treats people at arms length is exactly because of people like you. I am not your trained monkey. you may request, you dont get to demand.
I dont 'serve' you, we are peers. Support only goes so far. Office professionals should take classes in the tools they use everyday. If you use a computer everyday for work and dont understand it, the fault lies with you. Its not my job to wipe your fucking nose and do your work for you. Learn office automation like people in the past did.
Stop. Users are often absolutely unreasonable. I understand what you are saying but it swings both ways. You ever have a high school drop-out salesman flat out tell you that they dont know why we have I.T. at all? Users often ARE idiots. You know what office workers in the past did? THEY TOOK CLASSES IN OFFICE AUTOMATION so that they understood the tools they work with every day.
Humans are absolutely terrible at driving due to ego and other emotion factors. TERRIBLE. The robots only have to be better than the humans. Its not a hard barrier to cross when you look at traffic collision statistics. I work with electronics too, thats why i know we can design complex things to fail gracefully. The more tech we add, the easier this becomes ( as long as you remember to build in modules and not silo everything.) The biggest barrier to fully autonomous cars is political, not technological.

Uber eliminates this problem nicely. Also, If cabbies are fighting, use the POLICE, not restrict who can be a cabbie. You are making excuses for a corrupt business. The time to end it is NOW.
I read precisely what you wrote and i vehemently disagree that obscurity is a proper layer of security in any way. It doesn't even belong in the discussion when talking about security.Its false hope, nothing more.
NO it wont. My 570 GTX is still going strong, my 770 will outlive this console generation in raw usability. The only reason i dont even run the 570 anymore is because it sucks power like crazy, but its still a totally viable part.
And those regulations have been unfairly corrupted to feed a few players. DO not bleat on about fairness when the industry in question is unabashedly corrupt. ANYONE that wants to drive a taxi should be able to secure licensing from the city for a NOMINAL fee.
If I provide a forum for people to speak, should I feel guilty for the content of their speech? The people responsible are those that choose to spread hate, fear and malice, not those that wish to hear unfettered thought.
And no once for ever, get it finally: we are not in the USA here where you have to call a court for every fart to decide 'oh, what might a court have to say in this, or that?'.
Do you know why this is? Because we value Liberty, fiercely.
Keep in mind that the current ruleset is built for the entrenched players. If Uber waited around for regulatory compliance, they wouldnt be in business. The plain fact is ALL OF MODERN LIFE IS MONEY. There is a price for everything and those that would consider themselves your betters force payment.
User IDs ARE NOT a security device at all. If that was true every corporation would give people obfuscated email addresses instead of basing them on their name.
Stop. This is the fault of allowing users to use devices with no training. Standard I.T. data security ON THE PART OF THE USERS would have prevented this. If you dont understand the device you are using, seek training, or dont put sensitive info on it. Its not ok to be a moron in the Information Age.
Fair enough. I will amend to say that the Pi greatly expanded the market for players that were already in the game. Unfortunately, the others were never able to capture any real mindshare from it. Love it or hate it, the Pi made the market what it is now. Also, Intel has offerings on both fronts, real time microcontrollers and multi-tasking OS chips. (quark and galileo)

No. this is wrong. Rebooting shows that the machine can boot properly and the OS is working. It doesnt mask anything, its a basic functionality TEST.

Im married and if my wife looked own upon video games I wouldnt have married her. Just saying, not all wives are like yours.
Your CPU is one degree away from continuing to be viable, imho. Anything before Sandy Bridge should be de-commissioned. This is my personal rule.

"This isn't about protectionism. This is about countries having laws and expecting everybody to follow them.'
Why cant it be both?

History proves you wrong. Obscurity is NEVER the answer in the Information Age. User IDs are NOT security devices.
Then you have separate devices/accounts. This is I.T. 101 stuff. You deal in sensitive info, you learn proper data handling.
User IDs ARE NOT a security device at all. If that was true every corporation would give people obfuscated email addresses instead of basing them on their name.
Stop. This is the fault of allowing users to use devices with no training. Standard I.T. data security ON THE PART OF THE USERS would have prevented this.
