Why does he need a visa to visit the US for a business meeting? Does the US no longer accept Swedish passports? It sounds like Mozilla and Stenberg messed up.
Do you not understand the system? The reason most Swedes and citizens from certain other countries don't need a visa is because of the Visa Waiver program. However, in this case, his waiver is being denied and he'll have to apply for a standard visa (which may or may not be granted and could take 30 days or more).
I buy them second hand, yard sales, library sales, bull moose.. then I rip them down to my NAS and I have access to them when I want.
You said you would pay good money.. all you have to do is wait a season for the previous one to become available.
You do realise that ripping DVDs and BluRays is just as illegal as downloading torrents, right? The powers-that-be would just as readily prosecute you as any downloader if they could.
I would feel much safer if Uber didn't have the information in the first place. Despite their damage control spin, they have no legitimate need for it.
Except for that little tidbit of needing to know where to pick you up and drop you off so they know how much to charge you for the ride.
I regularly use Zipcars around Atlanta. They have a mix of Ford Escape and Focus, Mazda, Honda, BMW, Mercedes, Subaru. I get to try out the Bluetooth connectivity in all of them. I've never had an issue with the Ford or Mazda models, they work great and once paired, as soon as I get back into the car and start it, the Bluetooth connection is ready to stream music, all call functions, etc. The BMW, Mercedes, and Subaru work nicely, as well, though it amazes me that BMW puts Bluetooth into a $40K+ vehicle standard, but to use audio streaming you'd have to pay extra (which Zipcar doesn't). The cars that just have completely crappy Bluetooth systems is Honda. I have yet to find a Honda vehicle that will reliably connect with Bluetooth on either my LG V10 or my HTC One M8. They refuse to pair, giving various errors or pairing but not actually working. Maybe Honda makes their systems only work with Apple products (a friend's iPhone pairs and works with them) but they don't advertise as being Apple-only, and Bluetooth should work on any system. So, now I avoid using any Honda in Zipcar's inventory.
"More likely is that the lack of a headphone jack on the iPhone -- and increasingly, on Android phones as well..." OK, what Android phones DON'T have an audio jack? Maybe some obscure brand/model nobody has ever heard of, but on every Android phone I see being sold by T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and everybody else, there is an audio jack. So why the "and increasingly, on Android phones as well"?
As to BT headphones, I've yet to find one I'd use. I've bought many of them, from expensive Bose, Beats, Sennheiser, on down. Every one of them has the same problem: dropouts. Annoying frequent audio dropouts unless I hold my phone right up next to them, which defeats the purpose. And this is with several models of phones from various manufacturers. BT works great for car audio system, but for headphones, a big NOPE. Give me a good wired model.
WTF is congress getting involved in what a PRIVATE company is doing? Are they going to investigate Fox News? Or Brietbart? Or Newsmax? So-called "conservatives" can be the most whiny bunch of children in the universe. They spend all their time dictating how people can go to the bathroom or what devices can be shoved up a woman's hoohaa, then whine that the big bad liberals aren't letting them speak.
Here's a 747 test bed with one of the previous generation GE90 engines (used on the current 777). You don't realize how big these are until you see them on another aircraft. http://www.turbokart.com/image...
I'm looking forward to testing one of these. Over the years, my primary phone has always been an HTC. I had a T-Mobile DASH (an HTC made Blackberry clone running Windows Mobile 6.x), MyTouch 3G Slide, MyTouch 4G Slide, One M7, and One M8. The M9 just wasn't a worthy phone, IMO, so I went with the LG V10. The LG phone is very nice, but I really miss how seamlessly smooth HTC's Sense UI pairs with Android. I want a new HTC, but I won't settle for second-best. I hope the 10 delivers.
Many high-end "mobile" earphones are "IOS"-centric, in that their control buttons or microphone will only work with IOS devices. While the earphones will work with Android, the buttons for volume or skip won't work. I see this so many times on Sennheiser and other high-end products. They don't make Android-compatible controls, only IOS. Thankfully, BlueTooth is, for the most part, OS-agnostic, so the buttons function as they should regardless of device.
There was already an app called "Hailo" that tried using regular taxis, but summoned with an app like Uber/Lyft. It sucked. I tried it several times here in Atlanta and all it did was confirm how totally abysmal is taxi service here. Three times I tried using a typical ride that I make with Uber. All three times were a lesson in futility. Average Uber response time is 4 minutes. Shortest Hailo time to get a taxi was 12 minutes, with the other two approaching 20 minutes. Cost of Uber rides was always about $6.50. Lowest Hailo cost was $11, and the driver was pissed that I didn't tip him.
Sorry, you deliver inferior service, you lose.
Pointing out that a fool is a fool is simply demonstrative, not argumentative. Your protestations serve no purpose other than to assuage the poor fool's feelings, rather lamentably, nonetheless.
I see the anti-Uber hivemind is strong on/. now. Forget the fact that in the cities in which Uber operates, the CUSTOMERS have overwhelmingly chosen Uber over traditional taxis for a damn good reason: service and cost. But, since traditional taxi companies don't want to compete on those, they resort to legislative solutions to eliminate the competition. And the shills and their easily-duped followers are more than happy to beat the drums for more and more regulations. Good job, Kansas! Maybe the buggy-whip makers still have a chance there!
I made the mistake of installing that abomination ONCE! After I calmed down enough to stop the steam from coming out of my ears and reassured the dogs I wasn't going to skewer anything within twenty feet I uninstalled it and scrubbed the system as best I could.
That's exactly the statement I made after installing iTunes on my Windows computer. It require a complete format and reinstall of the OS to clean that crap out completely.
Google Wallet still has limited usefulness. NFC payments are still only supported on a tiny fraction of Android users, using a custom build of the wallet app not available in the Google play store. Only some phone distributors are given access to this custom build. My phone has android 4.4, NFC support, and Google wallet installed, but I can't do NFC payments. How do they expect to compete like that?
Google Wallet (installed from the standard Play Store) on my T-Mobile US HTC One (both M7 and new M8) works great paying for purchases anywhere they accept NFC payments (including Apple Pay locations). I previously used it at CVS before they turned off their NFC terminals, I use it at Panera, McDonalds, Kroger, Best Buy, Target. You're making claims that are not based in fact.
In Chrome you can use the Manual Geolocation extension, in Firefox use Geolocator. With both you can enter the location you want (your actual location or somewhere else) and it will then tell any website that queries that location instead of the default. I use both and they do work, and are much simpler than using a proxy or VPN or other measures.

Of course they do, its called dvds/blurays.

There is no such thing as "cleaner coal".

So does this mean Marsha Blackburn has to take turns with Sheri Weiner servicing AT&T and Comcast? Which one gets to swallow?
Perhaps he could activate the button, but it doesn't say he was able to unlock the phone.

I don't use taxis nor Uber (I've been in a taxi once in my life).
So, obviously, that qualifies you to comment knowledgeably about a taxi/Uber issue. SMH.... The level of discourse here has seriously eroded.

Stop spreading your bullsh**. Not a word of what you wrote is based in fact. You should be ashamed.
