If you bought it to run Linux, you could have just refused the update that removed OtherOS. It was clearly marked as the OtherOS-killer, and you needed to tick a box clearly stating that you understood this before it would apply. The only consequence of not updating was that you couldn't access PSN, but as a Linux user that's no use to you. I had a fat PS3, and I remember this.
The idea that Sony removed the OtherOS behind customers' backs, like Microsoft stealthily downloading Win10, has been repeated here so often that no-one questions it any more.
Like when you're strolling past the impound lot of the Spurbury police station, minding your own business, and you suddenly get the urge to break into that Winnebago. Call it a sixth, or even a seventh sense.
The question was whether vaccinations should be "required", not whether they are effective or safe. This makes the question ambiguous, because you have to make assumptions about how the requirement will be enforced.
Vancouver has NO taxi service. It is not a taxi town, everyone drives cars. Taxis, when you can get them (airport or phone in) cost real money. Public transit is perfectly fine for the young and poor. Vancouver also has the worst traffic in North America, according to Wikipedia.
Another example: all (US) doctors have malpractice insurance, because despite being trained professionals, they sometimes screw up, or do something that can be made to look like a screwup by a good lawyer. I imagine Sony's insurance has similar goals.
"We are now aware that the police have used traffic information that you have helped to create to place speed cameras at dangerous locations where the average speed is higher than the legally allowed speed limit," he says.
Much of the information is "published" without the user's knowledge or explicit consent; for example, most people probably don't realize that pictures taken with smartphones are automatically geotagged. The point of the app is to remind people that you don't have to make constant "I am here" posts for people to be able to track you.
We don't have an adequate word for stuff that we are not ashamed of, but still don't want everyone to know about. If we had such a word, it would be a whole lot easier to refute the "why do you need privacy, if you have nothing to hide" argument.
The fact is, there is widespread prejudice against a lot of relatively benign personal interests. We just can't resist judging people, it's part of the human condition. Hiding your otaku-ness from the outside world is probably a good idea.
Yes, that is the thing, governments should stay out of morality, its best for everyone.
So, you are saying that murder should not be illegal? Theft? All laws are about morals, it is just a question of which morals are important enough to be enforced by law.
No, laws are about protecting people's rights. If someone is murdered or stolen from, their rights have clearly been violated. If a minor murders an imaginary person in a game, or sees a nipple on TV, no rights have been violated.
Personally, I'm not sure the whole 'WooHoo, I can now vote in the US' is worth it - which seems to be the only other *practical* difference between a GC-holder, and a citizen.
Green card holders can be deported for committing a felony. Citizens can only be deported if you can prove that they obtained their citizenship fraudulently.

If you didn't use PSN, why did you apply the update that removed OtherOS?

Another reason to run NoScript, which blocks these kinds of shenanigans.
more athletes will be compromised by the vaccines and the toxic chemicals in the hand "sanitizers"
Great, now all our athletes will catch the Autism! At least they'll be eligible for the Special Olympics next time around.
Seriously though, you should not have brought up the anti-vaxx/oh noes chemicals points here, it ruins your credibility.
And if you get into an accident it will get called in to make sure you weren't at the bar.
I was next door, at the pornography store. I was buying pornography.

Their facial recognition technology can now distinguish a "Hitler hairdo" with 89% accuracy. Arrests have been made.
Whooosh! (That wasn't a drone, just some stray sarcasm)
They offered. He refused.
That must have been Scott. He's a dick.

I live in Vancouver, and none of this is true.
Why is there even a discussion about this?
See your sig.

Then I guess you'll just have to download the DRM-free version.
step 4: the installation is now DRM-locked to your DNA, so you have to drool into the USB port every time you reach a checkpoint
