Now have that 3yr old trouble shoot a faulty driver instillation or network issue. Pushing the "on" button and then touching the angry birds icon is not what people were likely having problems with.
They are right and just in doing this. Information should be free. Where the catch is, is that we deserve to have the same level of detail on their private lives and internet activity. Sadly that's not the case. The problem isn't out lack of privacy, the problem is the disparity between "us" and "them" If they know everything, and we know nothing, that's a cast system.
Everyone has the wrong idea about how this works. The robocalls are almost all over VOIP and originate outside the country. Or if they are inside the country they can be moved so easily it's impossible to nail them down. The originating number is easily spoofed. They are basically impossible to track. any solution they come up with will be very intrusive, collect all of our phone traffic, and likely not catch a single "robo-caller"
and when the car automatically "Avoids" some obstacle, real or not... and plows into a 4yr old on a tricycle... Who's liable? This seems like a horrific idea that I can't believe Nissans lawyers would allow on the road.
You're seriously naive. Labor costs are a miniscule part of why they are manufactured in China. Most importantly is likely the fact that they can just dump all their waste in the local river. Then you have the benefit of the factory being surrounded by the largest, and one of the most oppressive governments on earth... Spying on that factory is difficult and any workers that get out of line get disappeared for making the proletariat look bad. Shipping form China is dirt cheap. I order stuff off of Alibaba (Basically the Chinese version of Amazon or eBay) all the time and items much larger than an iPhone I can get here in under a week for about $6. If you were shipping a few thousands iPhones at a time I'm guessing shipping costs would be less than a $1 a phone and you could get it here overnight.
This is what's hilarious. The presidential candidates discuss issues that the president has no fucking power to change... like taxes. Has any president ever changed taxes? No... Congress does that and then the president vetoes it or signs it. That's it. It doesn't matter what Romney or Obama think the tax code should be because they don't get a vote. If either of them were real men they'd make some commitments like "I'm going to veto every bill that crosses my desk that doesn't also have provisions to pay for itself" That's a fucking argument I could vote for. But no... we're going to listen to them make idiotic arguments like "The rich should pay their fair share" What the fuck does that even mean? or "Everyones taxes should be lower" Ok yea, we can all agree with that... but you also want to increase spending? Jeasus H Christ! How the fuck can you people continue to vote for these idiots?
Fails "sometimes"? LOL Even if they had solid, indisputable evidence... even if he admitted it... he would still probably get parole at best. Get caught with a couple of pounds of pot and he'd be in for longer than most murders are. That's justice in our world today.
The UN will draft a strongly worded memo and strike him with it.
That will teach him to go and try and fix the environment without their approval!
Bullshit. No-one is going to die from this, nor is anyone starving. In fact, this issue is almost entirely irrelevant... therefor the UN will get involved with extreme prejudiced.
No, you don't. And rotating your tires isn't something that's mystical. You need to understand that Muffler/Oil/Tire shops have a LOT of money in marketing to convince you they're working some kind mechanical wizardry on your car. The idea's conflict with each other in fact. The reason you rotate your tires is because your car, and every car, is never totally in spec. So one wheel may ware a bit differently that the other 4. So by moving the tires around you spread that ware out evenly on all 4 tires so they will all fail around the same time rather than having 1 go early and having to replace it over and over again. But then the shops will tell you there's a special pattern to do it in, and that your tires must be balanced to some ridiculous tolerances that only their computerized machine can do... So which is it? Does your car have to be 100% in spec? Or is there wiggle room enough that just moving the tires around from time to time can take care of?
Jack up your car, take of a random tire... put on your spare... let the car down. Jack up a different random tire... put on the tire you just took off... let the car down. Keep doing that until you have all the tires on a different spot that where you started. Remember where you moved them from. In 6months to a year, move them again... but not back to the same spots you did last time. The easiest way to do this is to simply move them 1 space clockwise every time you do it. It's up to you. It doesn't really matter.
If there are 10 jobs available, and 100 people qualified for those jobs, and 80 of those are willing to work 100hrs+/week to get it... that pretty much makes it mandatory. Do you think heterosexual male porn-stars bitch about the hours?
About 15 years ago I worked with a guy that had a PhD in Astrophysics from MIT. I asked him why the hell he was working where we were and not out in his field. He replied that his GPA was very high, but it wasn't perfect. He said "You don't get astrophysics related jobs without a perfect GPA. Every math geeks dream is to be an astrophysicist." So the field is literally flooded with perfect GPA, willing to work for peanuts, 100hr work week people. It's really hard to beat that and he said that after he realized what it was going to be like he just gave up and did it as a hobby instead. I guess he could have been full of shit, but he certainly knew about Math and astronomy. Enough to completely blow my mind.
You're assuming the school wants to catch them. As far as they are concerned, RFID is foolproof and will remain so until an investigative report by the local news proves otherwise and they need to get more strict to collect their money. This is simply theater so they can claim their student counts are irrefutable.
Same old lame story... People a long time ago predicted that people in the future would get what they want with technology. Fast forward to today, and people have amazingly gotten what they want via technology! All be it, in entirely different ways than predicted, but lets not let that stop a journalist with a deadline from filing a cookie cutter article!
You've been taught to watch this stuff. You may not realize it, but it's a fact. ESPN being the most glaring example. Because media companies continue to refuse to accept the new world they live in, the gap is being filled by others. They are going to be replaced, and it's their own fault. Their ratings will continue to slide into oblivion while they blame it all on piracy. Meanwhile my wife drops $16/month on some MMO I've never heard of. Imagine if CBS could get $16/month from all of their viewers... oh wait, they could, if they didn't have their heads so far up their asses.
Since when? I own 3 cars, 1989, 2001, 2002 They all run like tops. Just because you don't have rudimentary mechanical skills does not mean those cars are money pits. The sad state of affairs in this country is there are so many people that don't even know how to take care of themselves anymore. Even basic home repairs elude them. One of my neighbors hired someone to fix their doorbell for christs sake... then complained that it cost them $200. It's an idiot tax. You should have a toolbox, and know how to change your oil, rotate your tires, plug a leak and remove and replace any device on the front of your engine (starter, water pump, power steering, etc...) If you don't know how to do these things learn. If you refuse, you're what's wrong with this country and deserve to get ripped off at the mechanics.
The cash for clunkers program was bullshit. It took millions of salvageable parts off the market and raised the cost of repairs for everyone. It was designed to force people into buying new cars, which is foolish and short sighted. The cost of manufacturing a car from start to finish pollutes far worse than all the fuel an average car will burn in its lifetime.
Because when you think "campus" you're thinking of all the dorms downtown and such.... when actually it includes a metric shit-ton of land. A lot of old rich people like to donate to whichever school they graduated from. I can drive out in the countryside here, in just about any direction, and run into some random university research lab... or observatory... or whatever... which is usually a relatively small building sitting on 30 or more acres of land with a parking lot. Usually there's a big sign that says "The so and so research lab" after whomever donated it.
Yes, because this countries college students are by far, the worst off among us. God forbid they have to see first hand what has been going on in rural America for over 100 years. It's one thing to drill near poor people, it's another to force our future doctors and lawyers to endure it.
You see, you're playing the same game the 2 party system wants you to. You lump everything into "republican" or "democrat" and then, once you've placed a person, idea or proposal into it's basked you pick the most extreme ideas in that party and make a strait line from A to B. He's libertarian, which is the same as republican, which is conservative... Nazis... HE WANTS TO KILL THE JEWS!!!!
Well fuck... you're wrong. Libertarians are not republicans. Libertarians just have some ideas that are more congruent with the republican party than the democratic party. On many issues libertarians are much more liberal than Democrats will ever be. Gay marriage for example... Libertarians don't even think marriage should be something the government has anything to do with. Mary a goat for all they care. That's between you and your religion.
Then you get into this nonsense about the station should have free speech. Sure, they should. But so does this fellow. They can exclude him from the debate, and then he has the right to make a big stink about it and make them look like shills for the 2 major parties, which in fact, they are. It's not like he's suing them. And even if he were to... there's no 100% right way to be a libertarian. He can have his own views, and be as Libertarian as he wants to be. Just because you're libertarian doesn't mean you want to shut down public schools and start selling missile launchers at the local walmart tomorrow. There's plenty of middle ground.
Climb out of our political parties sand trap and start think for yourself for a change.
Fair use should be "I bought it, now I get to use it in any manner I damned well please"
If I made a full blown music video using the song, according to the DMCA they'd have a right to take it down. If were waring Levi Jeans in that video, Levi wouldn't have any right to take it down. What the hell is the difference?
