So let's roll in the emissions cost of the factories that manufacture regular cars, and the emissions of the trucks taking them to the dealerships, and all the emissions of the dealerships themselves, and the cost of dealing with the runoff from their massive parking lots (borne by the municipalities that host them), et cetera, et cetera.
They promised a zero emissions car and they delivered it. You can't make so much as a paperclip that's "zero emission" if you're going to count the upstream costs.
I knew nothing about Android until I bought a tablet last week. I was hugely unimpressed with the level of blatant surveillance, and started looking for an alternative.
I don't know enough about it yet to tell you for sure, but I think Cyanogenmod might be just the fork you're looking for.
LOL. If you're trying to compare Slashdot to Facebook as a communication venue, I've got a great bridge for sale in Brooklyn...I've no doubt you'll be interested in forking over the mere $300,000 cash for this valuable asset, or perhaps the deed to your house.
And governments have already acted against Facebook, and it has toed the line. Canada's Privacy Commissioner demanded changes in its practices, and got them. India has banned parts of it outright. Facebook has also changed some of its practices due to pressure from various European governments. So lol, many reasonable governments have already acted against Facebook, and been obeyed.
Facebook's "apology" is nothing but a cynical attempt to stem public anger...the kind of anger that might cause governments to act against it.
Until an aggrieved party can access an appeal process in a reasonable time and get ridiculous situations like this taken care of promptly, Facebook remains an irresponsible gate-keeper, and its apology remains a fraud.
We'll leave for another day the fact that Facebook is inflicting its prissy, Puritanical standards on the rest of the world. And no, the argument that "you can always stop using it" doesn't apply. It has occupied its niche in the internet's ecology completely, leaving no reasonable alternative. Practically speaking, it is a monopoly.
She wasn't put under oath because that's what happens at trials. And they decided on the basis of their investigation that there wasn't even enough to charge her.
You guys are hilarious. Conspiracies everywhere! And I think "fuckwit" describes you and your ilk perfectly.
You apparently don't understand that the Uniform Code of Military Justice isn't the same thing as the law that applies to people who are not serving in the military.
What's clear is that you have no clue there's a difference between "negligence" and "criminal negligence". You also have no clue, apparently, that "negligence" in a colloquial sense is different that "negligence" in a court of law.
Please, for the sake of everybody here, keep up or shut up.
Not anymore. But during the relevant period, I didn't feel the need to be in touch 24-7. A quick step outside after an hour would be adequate to touch base with the babysitter, if I felt it was necessary. And amazingly, they've turned out just fine. Kids to be proud of.
My friends have similar experiences. Not even one of the many offspring still need daddy to wipe their bottoms for them...contrary to what's happening with so many of today's helicopter parents.
There's actually not a thing wrong with those guys. I've played various sports with them for years. What they don't appreciate is some self-entitled little prick who thinks rules are for everybody but him.
I sympathize with their view, though as I said, I would be more inclined to just call security and have you thrown out.
It's stated quite clearly that you only need to step out of the concert for a few seconds to deal with your insurmountable need to be perpetually in touch.
There will be large, aggressive gentlemen wearing "Security" t-shirts at the concert, and annoyed people surrounding the jackasses you describe who will enthusiastically point them out.:-)
You feel free to smuggle your phone into a venue where you've been asked not to use it. If you're next to me and you actually do whip it out and start annoying me, I'll just call a security guard and have you removed from the concert.
If you're unlucky enough to be next to a couple of rather large guys I know, they probably wouldn't bother calling anybody over. They'll just take your phone off you and shove it so far up your ass they'll break a couple of your back teeth.
The guy welded to a cell phone calls a music lover "sheep"?
Are you so afraid to be without your electronic security blanket for a couple of hours? Are you such an unimportant little drone your boss gets to reach out and yank your chain 24-7?
With rare exceptions (mostly people too stupid to know the difference between warm rain and being pissed on), the only people who won't admit the "War On Drugs" is an outright failure are law enforcement slackers with an unbreakable liplock on the public teat.
The app takes care of destination and cost. And if an especially sketchy Uber driver decides to have his way with a passenger who can't defend herself...well, it's not like he was going to ask for consent anyway.

So basically, fuck off.

It was corrected after public embarrassment forced a correction.
Jeez you're stupid.
Trump's ready to sell Uncle Sam's ass to the Russians, and all the mouth-breathing moronic conservatives in America line up to give him oral.
Pathetic!

They love diversity so much they'd buddy up to Pol Pot, if he was still alive.
Unless you're under oath, you can lie to anybody you like, fuckwit,

Smarten up, dumbass.

Thanks for that. I really did LOL when I read your comment.
"Windows is the Most Open Platform There is, Says Satya Nadella"
"What a steaming, smelly pile of pure, unadulterated bullshit!"
says everybody in the world with a three-figure IQ and knowledge computers/software.
It really isn't all that amazing. People with three-figure IQ's understand why.
I bet you do. That's why you're all upset about the actual artists telling you to go fuck yourself.

I'm quite capable of doing it myself, actually. But why would I dirty my hands on somebody like you?
Better by far to watch security people doing their job, while I enjoy the rest of the concert.

They stick out like a priest's dick at a group shower for choir boys.

Just a guess: I bet you don't get laid a lot.
