I just upgraded the Picasa program on a customer's office computers. They use it to keep track of their patients (dentist office). After starting the install, the program mentions it can install the Picasa Image Viewer program, and associate common image files extensions to it. Of course jpg, gif, png, bmp were all listed, as well as webp, which I haven't heard of. On the computers with Chrome installed, that check box was blank,and next to it is listed (Chrome) as the program currently displaying it. So I guess it is a Chrome image type?
And you missed the fact that the President will be a Green Party member. In 2012 the Green Party candidate was Dr. Jill Stein. I voted for her. I've stated this fact many times on this site, if you care to search my post history.
So, no, I am not a Big-L Libertarian, even though I agree with some of their ideas.
OK. And when there are 5000 drones hovering over every neighborhood, because everyone is buying one or two items at a time, several times every day, tell me how that makes for a nicer picture than people driving to a store. When they start falling out of the sky, how convenient will it be?
The State of CA has zero legal authority to regulate anything once it leaves the ground...that is fully reserved to the Feds under 49 U.S. Code 40103 - Sovereignty and use of airspace:
(a) Sovereignty and Public Right of Transit.— (1) The United States Government has EXCLUSIVE sovereignty of airspace of the United States.
CA can pass anything they want but it means absolutely nothing from a legal perspective. Airspace starts at the ground.
Good luck explaining that to the sherrif's deputy that hand-cuffs you for violating state law. You may win if your appeal reaches the Supreme Court.
I still remember the first time I saw a "Stephen King is dead" post. I went to the news sites to see what they had to say about his untimely passing. Not one of those heartless bastards was mourning him at all. It took a few minutes to figure out it was a joke. (Because, honestly, who would joke about Stephen King dying?)
Oh well, at least I hadn't announced the false story to the whole office.
Dude, that thing looks awesome. I'm gonna order one right now and throw out all my laundry detergent. And the best part is they recharge with the power of the sun. How cool is that?
Thanks for pointing out this project. Without your help I never would have discovered such a wonderful invention.
So someone who says, "I will not bake a cake for your wedding" is hurting a couple, when there are hundreds of other bakers who are more than willing to bake that cake?
As for being forced out of business, you don't think there have been a few cases in the last couple years where that has happened? You can have your beliefs of marriage equality, but you still have to accept reality that people are losing their livelihoods over this issue.
Gasoline powered vehicles run on diesel. It won't be pretty, but they run. Its diesel cars that run on gasoline.
A better analogy would be: If I put my car in reverse while going forward, should the car manufacturer be held responsible for me destroying my car?
My car doesn't even let me put it into First while I'm going forward. Until I slow down to about 5mph, there is something that keeps the gear shift from slipping into that position. Once I get below the acceptable speed, it drops into First smoothly.
And this is on a 5-speed manual transmission in a Saturn. I'm sure the better cars have similar restrictions to protect the machine from idiots.

Mom, get off the line! You're embarrassing me.

If you think people can't smell horse shit, ... Well, I dunno what that means, but you're wrong.
The vast majority of cats bury their waste in unseen areas. The vast majority of dogs shit right on the fucking pathway.
Of course dogs do that. Do you know how pokey grass is?

And only the FDA can make marijuana sales legal. Except in the states where they ignore federal law, because the federal agencies are being stupid.
Pretty sure the gunshot will alert everyone to duck and cover.

Besides the ass-reaming the other responders gave you, when did I ever say I was a Libertarian?
" Industry groups say this restriction will kill drone delivery services before they even begin. "
Sounds like a good use of state authority to me.
Well, I tried to feed the DC, but had my polarity reversed.
How could you tell?
;^)

Sounds like it should be a Staff Pick on Kickstarter.
Saw a comment long time ago about a guy who bought a new video card for his workstation. He sent the receipt to payroll to be reimbursed.
The lady there didn't think it was appropriate he was being reimbursed for VIAGRAPHIX, as the receipt showed.
Hmmm, who to agree with about health care. An Anonymous Coward, or a Dirty Hippie.
Decisions, decisions.
Well, if they throw in the phrase "on a computer", they can patent the whole process, including making $20 microscopes from $90 webcams.

Or do you go up to a small kid selling lemonade on the side of the road and ask if they have a license to sell drinks?
Actually, cops are doing that all over lately.

Your analogy is broken.

You guys should have made it quite clear you needed NOT UNLEADED!!! before the attendant even got his hand on the dispenser.
Loooooove it! :^)
Well, gee, glad it wasn't me that said it then. Carry on.
