Some of the proposed solutions are based by position. It would send a "shut up" message to any phone determined, by signal reflection, to be in the drivers seat area of the car. So as soon as the passengers phone moved into the drivers volume, it would cut off.
Easy way to get around that: Stick your arm out to the passenger's side and text like that, even more dangerous!

If you do this, then you'll get a few valid links and tons of spam links.
I think that was his point, back in the day (lol) people weren't spamming so much so it was ok to allow anyone to post links without worrying about moderation. You would get a few spam links and tons (relatively) of valid links
Wait wait wait, I thought you got the apple maps walking joke, but the funny part is that there's actually a place called Middelfart. I thought that's what you were confused about, lol!
Also funny because this story was double-posted to correct redundant dollars ($1 Billiion dollar... to $1 Billiion) yet they still forgot to correct the redundant "i".
Smb2 was some other game that they changed the sprites to have Mario characters. The first Smb2 was released in the US as the 'Lost Levels' in All Stars.
"BTW this article fails to mention how race HELPED Obama in 2008. Close to 100% of black Americans voted for Obama, because he was making history as the first black president. So that's a +20% advantage right there.
TFA says less than 1% (waaaay off from +20%), which doesn't beat the 6%, so no. Also, it was 96-98% of african american voters that voted, not of all african american voters.
Haha no no I'm saying the internet is useless if you can only commercialize it.
If some website can get shut down for stuff that their users put up (not the site operators...), who's going to make a site that users can upload anything? There was an infographic I saw last week that made the point succinctly:
If someone shoplifts from or even just robs your store, then the government can shut down your store. Why would anyone want to open up a store anymore?
The other problem is that people might stop creating these great sites/services because you can't "just browse" to them or venture capitalists won't fund the startup. Anonymity and an underground internet is useless if all the cool stuff is just taken down (as opposed to blocked) or even worse, never created in the first place. For example, can we secretly get to megaupload now? What about it's competitors that have disabled file sharing?
Yep, at first I was like, "What a jerk, he's totally going to get fired." Then I saw he was the president of his company.
Then I was like, "Well he's not going to fire himself, then his company won't have any employees."
The idea that no proof is possible is trivially easy to disprove. If an all-powerful being exists, that being must have the power to prove it's own existence. No such proof exists, and therefore it becomes necessary to invent excuses for the all-powerful being.
When a religious person says no proof is possible, what they're really saying is that they have a pet list of these excuses.
When it becomes necessary to invent excuses and there's that pet list, how does that make it trivial to disprove that no proof is possible? I think it's more trivial to prove that proof is impossible. For example (here's my pet list):
invisibility
all-knowing
beyond time and space (so, undetectable)
has a master plan that accommodates anything anyone can ever think or do, ever
can make a rock so heavy, even he/she/it cannot lift it, and then lift it (contradict itself)
unlimited everything, invincible, all weapons, unlimited ammo, all spells, unlimited mana, no clipping, super jump, unlimited 1-ups, rainbow yoshi, etc. (that's probably just my god)
As I typed earlier, too much of it (maybe all of it?) is cleverly built to require faith.
If an all-powerful being exists, that being must have the power to prove it's own existence. No such proof exists...
Why must the proof exist? I have the power to make a snowman in the front yard. No such snowman exists. My reason for not making one is my own, but my kids will gladly make a poor attempt at one and tell their friends that I built it with one arm or something.
Seriously though, it is not trivial to prove that this "God" character exists. Too much of it (maybe all of it?) is cleverly built to require faith. Too clever for humans, maybe that's the proof? Maybe not, I don't know. I believe. I'm open to be proven wrong.
(and I don't see how that could be worked into this car analogy either)
New cleaner gasoline will disable your hybrid car's battery, so you can't use it. Stick to the old dirty gasoline (until there are fewer and fewer stations that sell that type...)

I think that's so they can skip paying income tax, not because of generosity.

How much does anyone want to bet that Ocean Marketting is a one-man shop? Christoforo is also the president according to LinkedIn.
True, so AC is right, I'm wrong. Nice! I'm going to use that on people now.
Fine, I'll be more clear.
