Maybe to increase he functionality of your existing hardware? I'm assuming here that "initial phone setup" includes the apps you want / need now and that you can't see the future.
IANAL, but when you say "they can press him to reveal where he dumped the body", would the word "press" reasonably equate to applying the same penalty he could expect as a convict, even though he has not been found guilty of a crime? Because that's what appears to be happening in this situation.
Because the "people" we're talking about are KIDS. If you ever have any, you'll find that they can screw up anything. I suspect this comes from not really having done "things" before. I would absolutely put "protecting my Facebook privacy from school installed spyware" in the category of things a kid will fail to understand / get wrong.
Pastafarianism is satire not religion. Of course, if this bothers you, you could make it a religion by devoting your life and finances
Ah ha! So we finally have someone who can give us concrete information describing exactly what constitutes a religion. As a result we will have a well defined line between black and white, no grey in the middle! Exactly how much of my life do I need to devote? If I'm in my 40's is it too late to start? For that matter, is it a flat amount of money or percentage of my income I need to donate to the cause? What can I spend that money on? Does my house count? Silly string? You seem to have the answers and the situation appears simple to you. Illuminate me.
Well, some coffers are for so-and-so's reelection fund, and others are for public works to benefit everyone. Depending on the scale of church finances one's may be much smaller than the other.
it's clear and unambiguous that pastafarianism is not a religion, and no-one actually believes it.
Oh? If it is so unambiguously clear that nobody believes in this religion, perhaps you would like to submit your proof. While you're at it, please explain how exactly you managed to measure the sincerity of someone's religious belief. This would be really good to know!
Nah, but like all the other stupid home automation products out there, it's got an unneeded "cloud" component. Kill that and suddenly the server you used to interface with to turn your lights on isn't there anymore. Hilarity ensues.
Auto insurance could be priced more accurately because the system could report on a driver's actual miles and routes traveled.
Does this sound like Pandora's box opening to anyone but me? This would be enough to cause me to buy another brand / model of car just to get away from it...
Well I'm Rambo (see how that works?), and at no point did I suggest you had to prove anything to me.
I'm just responding to your vacuous arguments.
Have a nice day!
So let's see: "you are an idiot" - Ad hominem, nice way to lead off
" People who carry concealed firearms " - generalization with no evidence
"I would rather run..." - Affirmation that you're probably a coward. It happens.
"And all the folks I know..." Argument by personal anecdote. Do you know how this works?
"You know NOTHING of which you speak." And your father smells of elderberries.
All of which does nothing to refute the fact that the AC broke out a straw man to refute a statement, and you're not doing much better!
instead we have massive color displays that suck down batteries like there is no tomorrow...
Ah, but that pretty looking color display looks great on the showroom floor, especially when placed next to an e-ink reader for contrast. Check out the tablets next time you're in a Best Buy.
Are all the things in your life simple black and white? Are you sure there are no other variables that could present an explanation?
...shaking of head in bewilderment that Americans think they need so many guns...
I'm going out on a limb here as for the most part I have not traveled much, but it's possible we don't do things the same way as other countries because we're different.
Not live in a paranoid fantasy world where criminal hoards are seaking to storm our homes at any moment? Most of America is incredibly safe.
So tell me... When you get in your car, do you put on your seatbelt? I mean accidents are incredibly rare and you can always sneak it on if you get pulled over. Would you train a kid how to handle fire before teaching him the fun of a lighter and WD-40? He probably won't torch anything important. Speaking of fire, do you have fire alarms in your house? It's very rare for someone's home to burn down you know. Just think of what percentage of time a fire alarm spends warning of a fire. By that measure just building one sensor would be an unconscionable waste of resources. Why do we keep taking precautions against things that hardly ever happen? BTW, I left out the one about condoms and sex resulting in pregnancy. You're welcome.
The brakes on your car can be used to keep it from slamming into things it shouldn't hit. They can also be used to render your vehicle completely immobile and thus unable to serve as a source of transportation. It all depends on what the guy in charge of the brakes decides they will be used for. In completely unrelated news, some people don't trust the government to make good decisions.

Like the off roader with mud on his 4x4, we'll have teenagers with collections of cats and squirrels like a collection of demented hood ornaments.
First thing I thought when I saw that headline was "Perma-bugs!"
Hey... if it's good enough for the police it should be good enough for Facebook, right?
Maybe... How loud can your cat bark?

The teapot would be nothing. Imagine if he smashes into an invisible pink unicorn!

Only if it has the requisite number of stripes and stars in their "correct" colors. And it doesn't resemble a colander.
GAH! I can't decide weather this rates as "funny", "troll" or "insightful". Something is seriously f'ed up somewhere, and I'm not certain it's me.

And within 8 words our idiotic AC has quite efficiently created a straw man. /golfclap

I mean this seriously and with no sarcasm.
Thank you!
