After all, if you can wipe the phone remotely, then that system has root access, does it not?
Fat lot of good it did. Same with George Carlin. For all of the insight they had, all they did was make people laugh at their own idiocy.
I wonder why they didn't say, half way through the show "Why are you laughing? What's funny about what I'm saying? Here's a petition stating that we want this shit sorted out. Sign it. It's going in this envelope on stage, and that envelope is going to Congress. I'm tired of this shit, and the fact that you're paying to hear me talk about it means you are too! Do something about it! Put your name down."
Instead, he said a few rude words in a sentence and the sheeple giggled.
Which is why you either tell him yourself, or inform the authorities. Otherwise, you're fulfilling your own prophecy; Having to pass dangerously close to the cyclist.
The cyclist will not choose another route out of his own volition; He's used to that route, and nobody has pointed out how inconvenient (and illegal, apparently) it is. If you won't tell him, as a person who is obviously concerned for his safety as well as your own and that of those around you, then who will?
I guess the alternative solution is for him to get knocked off and killed. That would solve your problem, wouldn't it?
Everything in the above comment seems to state "The cyclist is the issue" which I am not disagreeing with. The cyclist should not be there, if that is your local law.
Here's a similar situation for you; The cyclist is a parent walking with their child. To pass them, you need to pass to close to the child, as the father is walking on the inside. He's being an idiot, but hey, that's life. Do you put the childs' life in danger because of a) the impatience of the idiot drivers behind you, or b) the idiocy of the parent?
Putting the cyclists' life in jeopardy is not the solution. Passing too close to him is not the solution. Putting up with idiots on the road who put your life in danger is not the solution. Tell the police, write to your congressman, tell the cyclist he's being a douche, hell, drive a different route from work if it's that much trouble, but I find it very hard to believe the law, or morality, is on your side if you knock him off in the situations you've described.
Qualifier; I've broken my leg and my arm coming off a motorcycle on bends, my own fault, and been in a car which flipped with my mates as a passenger. Yes, I know about the stress of accidents, during and after, with people I care about.
Right, so, put his life at risk at the expense of your own because he's riding in the wrong place? Good luck with the court case if he ever comes off his bike.
At the end of the day, you have a duty of care to not harm others with your 1.5tonne (conservatively) high speed machine of death; You take a test to ensure you're responsible enough for that task.
I say again, if you can't handle stressful situations on the road, you shouldn't be driving. It has nothing to do with the (bad) decisions of one particular cyclist. If it pisses you off that much, or you feel it puts you in danger, flag him down next time you see him and tell him he's not supposed to be there, present him with the legislation which says so, and say that next time you're calling the local police. Acting in any other way is irresponsible.
You're in a giant shield of metal with bright lights and and a law forbidding dangerous driving to protect you! If any goit in a suped up Vauxhall Nova overtakes you on a bend and hits you, it's going to be HIM hitting the oncoming traffic, not you! The cyclist might get knocked off, you might get a glance if the idiot tries to pull in again, but at the end of the day you did everything you could to keep the roads safe, and it's everyone else behind you with the problem.
If you let yourself become intimidated by people behind you on the road, you should not be driving. No amount of horn beeping, following closely, or swerving in and out of lane should make you do something dangerous, to you or anyone else.
The other 5-10% think that it was a complete waste of money, a pointless exercise in a race which achieved ultimately nothing, a willy-waving contest where the willy was already flaccid and sterile?
Living on the moon? No thanks. We need to learn to balance resource harvesting with local ecology and sustainability on this rock before we go screw up another one.
N.B. Not an environmental nut, just considering practical implications of being in a closed environment with limited resources for a long period of time.

Never happen; There's still at least 15 more Saw movies which can be made.

I didn't think this was possible due to the arrangement of flexor tendons in the palm. I stand corrected!
Can we please stop all this shit?
Shit's getting on my nerves...
You're assuming that you can move finger joints independently. Try bending your little finger without bending your ring finger.
I second that emotion. I never browse without it.

Sure! We have them already!
An ant will see a 1" width water stream as a fast flowing river would be to us.
Given that water surface is reflective, and there is a large quantity of blue above them, could this be an alternative?

Finding it on a map is easy.
Getting into it surreptitiously will either be:
a) Extraordinarily difficult, or
b) a) + life threatening.
You obviously don't work in IT.

I might be able to explain that... Water is blue
You can't fix a duck with ducts!
Related to this, you can't fix a baby with central heatingSFW but likely to get you uninvited to the christmas party, requires sound.
With the amount of red traffic lights and pedestrian crossings they ignore, I often wonder if they're not already.
Lance & Ferman LF90 ftw!
Of course you're safe! What's your problem?!

Yeah, but what is the average weight of an unladen Asston?
That equation gives a value of 9191.24
Is one "complexity" 9191.24 times less-hard than decrypting an AES encrypted dataset?
How many VW Beetles is 9191.24 Complexities?
The other 5-10% think that it was a complete waste of money, a pointless exercise in a race which achieved ultimately nothing, a willy-waving contest where the willy was already flaccid and sterile?
