My car's license plate has an "O" and I once received a bill from the Bay Area FasTrak, where my car has never been. Fortunately, they included a picture showing that the offending plate has a "Q" and they have a way to send in an appeal -- via snailmail only.
One of the alternate routes in L.A. that I often have been directed to take by our Google Maps overlords actually has a speed hump. (Used to be a speed bump before they repaved the street, but now not a big deal.)
My biggest annoyance with their routes is when they send me down a side street that ends with a STOP sign at a busy highway and they want me to turn left.
I recall that during the Microsoft antitrust suit, someone pointed out that if you broke Microsoft into 4 pieces, the next day 4 salespeople from very large companies would be calling on every business customer, each pushing a still-dominant product/service.
Ethanol is corrosive and absorbs water -- I haven't heard of any company building ethanol pipelines. It's nice to be able to store ethanol, but you have to transport it efficiently it to where it's needed.
Administrations of both parties have given in to the ethanol lobby and refused to waive the requirement to add ethanol to gasoline in places such as California that are far from the producing states, despite the development of gasoline formulas that can meet pollution goals without adding ethanol.
I got a freebie Home Mini with my new phone. I told it to play "KUSC" but it insists on playing "KUNC" -- different kind of music. It's easier just to cast to it from my phone than to make it understand my voice.
I'm stuck using MS PowerShell at work, but PowerShell never appears in these reports about popularity, bug avoidance, etc. Not sure whether it is low usage, type of projects, or that it's for Windose.
I had to start using a password or pattern when I started using Android Pay.
Since my Nexus 5 has no fingerprint sensor, I have to lock and then unlock it when I pay at the supermarket.
In ancient times when I learned programming, memory was limited, the allocation of memory was static and linear, and there was no bounds checking, so understanding how memory is used was the key concept for a new programmer.
Learning assembler and reading "core" dumps to see what was going on in memory at the low level really helped in debugging Fortran programs. That awareness is still useful for applications where using a lot of memory is not feasible or efficient and for languages such as C that require deliberate memory management. Judging by the number of malware exploits and memory overflow fixes that are announced each month for popular systems, it's still a major issue.
So I agree that some exposure to assembler or C is useful for any serious programmer, and then go ahead and take advantage of languages that clean up after you and trap memory errors, in suitable applications (for some definition of suitable!).
If Comcast were to offer this service over the Internet, one or both of the following will happen:
1. All of the ISPs who don't have caps yet will impose them.
2. The Trumpkins on the FCC will permit the other ISPs to block any IP-based TV service other than their own.

Walter White prefers hydrofluoric acid.
But unless you favor capital punishment for thieves, an accident on the way to jail could be a problem.
So he's using the solar power to move the vessel, so the wind turbine will spin and cause drag.
Polystyrene foam is notoriously hard to recycle and a common type of litter and trash.
Particularly since most of them stay on the line just long enough to leave 2 seconds of dead air.

I can recognize faces and objects, but I cannot visualize or draw much of anything.

Still waiting for Prime Video to support ChromeCast.

And they fall out of orbit and have to be replaced too often. Bad for the environment!
The secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
Microsoft created their own annoying scripting language, PowerShell.
Cinnamon!
Don't forget the HP TouchPad that used WebOS before they killed it.
No, it's a White House staff position, so no confirmation needed.
Someone once said that a verbal contract is not worth the paper it's printed on.
My employer prohibits Chrome -- IE is standard and Firefox is available, although they don't permit any extensions.
I suspect it's because of the automatic updates to Chrome, which would not get through our firewalls.

Like the Pixel C tablet.
