1. NotScript seems to be blocking all PDFs on my setup. I didn't get it for that; but that seems to be what it does by default. I'll have to look into it. 2. Google's in-browser PDF viewer is able to handle files that Adobe's can't. The Adobe viewer seems to have some kind of memory management issue. It thrashes my disk on files that Chrome handles just fine. When I have a PDF on the desktop, I drag it to the browser now instead of letting the default association kick in. 3. About that default association and the dragging. The fact that I can do that means that I still have choice.
Yeah, the other day I was a bit below the limit in the right lane. Some idiot is tailing me so close I can't even see his headlights. I punched it up to about 75 to get away from that menace, passed a few other cars, then slowly let the speed bleed down. When the maneuver was completed nobody was too close behind me and I had several football fields of empty lane in front. IMHO, much safer then drafting with an idiot for 10 miles, but some stupid in-car monitor would probably flag one behavior as "erratic and dangerous" and another one as "calm and steady".
Not to freak you out but.... 1. Fish defecation. 2. Aquatic bird defecation. 3. Guys on boats in the middle, nobody is looking. 4. Bilge. 5. Poorly maintained outboard motors. 6. Probably some truly horrendous stuff that didn't come to mind in the minute I took to type this while thinking about it.
On your side, as they say, "The solution to pollution is dilution".
If you like, you may think of your tap water as homeopathic drone.
Communism is capitalism with an alternative marketing plan. It also has a business model that cuts to the chase and establishes monopoly in all industries. Capitalism has many other different marketing plans, and takes its own sweet time establishing monopoly. Capitalism buys the government on the installment plan. Communism takes it by force.
Leaving pie on a window sill to cool vs. giving away pies.
If I leave a pie on my window sill to cool, you don't have a right to steal it. That AT&T data sounds like the pie to me.
If I left a pie on a table in front of the house with a sign that said, "free pie for anybody who wants it", and a health inspector came by and cited me for distributing food in an unsafe manner and/or without a permit, that'd be like putting illegal data on a p2p network.
My solution to this problem is to let the GUI be C++, and have all your C in a library. I got used to doing that back in the MFC days. I learned C++ first, then learned C. My appreciation for C grew from looking at things like the JPEG libraries, which seemed to run on every system ever devised.
IIRC, I didn't like wxWidgets because it seemed to insist on rolling its own versions of libraries that already existed. With 12 years of development since I lived in that world though, maybe they've got it down to where you can dynamically link whatever you want easily, with the understanding that it "voids the warranty".
My sister's car caught fire in the early 80s. Late 70s American cars had analog emission control systems that involved lots of rubber hoses. Those systems were not well built. Rubber hoses could work loose, contact the hot manifold and start fires. I think that was the most likely culprit. It's amazing some of those cars ran as long as they did. A common problem was a rubber hose connected to intake getting cracked or falling off. It would then suck unfiltered dust off the top of the intake manifold, right into the engine...
Find a citation and edit Wikipedia then. The article indicates that the aforementioned designs are for safety on impact as well as the prevention of sloshing.
On the other hand, ICEs and their gasoline tanks have been through much more real-world testing, many more iterations of safety refinement based on real world experience. Perhaps a more fair comparison is to look back to the 1920s and see how often new luxury cars from that era experienced fires.
Tesla is obviously aware of this problem and has a strong incentive to make their packs robust. Gas tanks in race cars have things like rubber bladders, honeycombs, and perhaps other things I've never heard of. I bet Tesla engineers are brainstorming on all kinds of ideas to keep fire isolated to single cells and/or suppress it once it starts in the pack.
There are two sides to this of course. Reinventing the wheel is bad. Outsourcing rifle production to your enemies is bad. There are a lot of things in between those two extremes.
It was nice, Chrome. Your scripting engine was fast. You hardly ever crashed. Your UI was pretty decent. I could even overlook some of your shortcomings. You were my first tabbed browser. I was actually willing to retrain my brain to quit using my OS's more universal process switching in defference to your tabbiness. We had some tough times closing the whole browser by accident when we really only wanted to close the page; but we worked through it. Your scripting engine was fast. You were young and sexy. It had to end though. I knew you wanted to pull me into your walled garden and make me mow every Saturday. I just wasn't ready for that kind of commitment. I know it's painful but I think we both realize it's time to move on. There's this other browser and, well... it's a fox.
"Lake street. No, no, Lake street. Aiiiiiiiii *splash*"
90% of people think they're in the top 10% of drivers. Ask if they feel safer with a computer driving, most will say no. Ask if they feel safer if everyone else had a computer driving, most will say yes.
So if I'm reading this right, the driver in your example ends up in Lake Wobegone.
There is a public library within walking distance of the nearest Blockbuster. They rent DVDs. Of course the selection is limited. The little area for that is about 10 by 30 feet. I don't know how it compares to Blockbuster because I'm not into borrowing videos. I just walk past it on the way to other things. I suspect the library selection tends towards "classic" film and other things that they can justify as being somewhat educational; but I wouldn't bank on it. There's probably a good selection of children's stuff because moms bring their kids there all the time.
A rental place should check out (no pun intended) what the library has to offer before going into business. OTOH, Selling things to people who don't visit libraries tends to be lucrative. It's sad but true.
It's a cliche that you can't time the market. There's a reason for that. It's true.
Now that's all well and good Mr. Market
But tell me
What should I do?
Very good question, now listen with care
Bend over, and lend me your ear
When talk is of bubbles
The alarms's set for troubles
Next month
Or maybe next year
Slashdot Mirror
Remind which which date we have agreed on for that bubble to pop?
Since bubbles are only evident in hindsight, I'd say six months before "real soon now".
Drop NoScript on the first few, then a dozen more come up. I won't use that kind of site. Here's a better link.

SnapChat is shiny. Girls like it. It's worth what people are willing to pay for it. Why... it's... GOLD.
There's no way it can bubb.... umm.... hey, let me get back to you.

Programming is hard. Let's go shopping.

Just relax and drink a few amperes of beer. That'll help.

I wasn't suggesting totalitarianism as an alternative. I don't know what might lead you to think that.
Either false dichotomies were on sale today, or somebody forced him to buy one.
Go back in time and change "Anonymous" to "Hippies".
Just like all diodes are light emitting.
Homes in the USA also have windows...
Windows also have blinds and/or shades.
No. That's a feature. If an attacker can't see into your room, he can't see your network.
