DO NOT watch the film "gasland". It is full of lies, inaccuracy and misleading examples. Horrid.
"has been hired to poo poo the film because it might hurt their business." ah, so people who dislike lies and factual inaccuracies are part of a big conspiracy. Riiiight.
Some examples: Water on fire: this is a known phenomena the predates fracking. If it was caused by fracking, it would take 1000's of years to go from the source to the water. The shot they get that from was no where near any fracking.
And then you wrap it up with what is clearly a lack of understanding about the trade agreements.
It's not him, it's you. You are stupid, and you are just looking fore excuses. The fact that nearly every thing people complain about him is false tells me he must be doing something right.
First up, Jim's dead. He can't hear you. Maybe you should have thanked him last week?
Widely used feature? Is it?
"I can't believe I'm suggesting this as someone that values freedom of speech" I can. most people become hypocritical when something they claim to believe in is used in away they don't happen to like.
Lets face it, a percentage of anonymous comments anywhere are, and always have been, crap. Maybe you should just read at a higher level?
See how annoying it is when some says "first off" and the never has a second?
People who write these are actual software engineers, that adhere to engineering practice both in hard ware, and software. The have fail safes for this now.
Remember the CAR is a specific set of functions and software. As opposed to a PC that had software from all over the place, much of it not adhering to MS best practices. In my experience,s it's been software that does something improper, usually with the registry, that flakes out.
hahaha, no. I suggest you look at the long history of safety and the auto business.
Seat belts? major fight. Car Seats? major fight Anti lock brakes? major fight Air bags? major fight.
Lane departure warning? The NTSB is recommending that be standard. This may be the first time in auto history where the manufacturers started putting in safety based on a NTSB recommendation before become part of Consumer protection. what will become requirements right away. Although it may be mandatory in other countries and just sold as a feature instead of manufacturing a separate line for the US. Or perhaps this is a step towards fully automated driving.
YOU send the update and store it in memory. When the car is turned off, apply the patch. Personally, I would also maintain a log of any period where the car is off for more then 2 hours and try to apply my patch then.
Or if they hire actual software engineers, it would install and as pointer were released it would start pointing to the new install.* We do know how to do live patching of devices.
*yes, that was a VERY simple description and only used to make a point.
", "I have a vested interest in making sure my neighbors aren't cooking meth," " You do.
" implying that they (which implies all citizens) don't have a right to be free from unlawful search and seizure in their (our) own homes." it does not. It implies that under some circumstances you can take some action i.e. lawful investigation.
I do have a right to be sure vehicles have a minimum safety standard.
By your argument, I should be able to careen down the road at 100 miles an hour, drinking whisky and driving the wrong way.
Hey, you don't want a law against that, it's a slippery slope that leads right to Hitler.
"CEO's get paid a lot because they have a HUGE impact on stock price and company performance." Steve Balmer got huge bonuses, how as MS stock been the last 10 years?
" Fact of tthe matter they are worth every penny" there have been many studies that say other wise. Mostly becasue what they do could be done by just about anyone in the seat.
Steve Jobs is an exception. Very few CEO's have that kind of charisma, drive, vision, and attention to detail.
" People worked because they were forced and hated it. " And that's different in the US how? Hell, in the former USSR if you didn't work you still got shelter and meals, albeit possible in a prison. In the US if you don't work you die on the street.
Most people in the US and USSR didn't work becasue they lied what they did.
In the former USSR if you had a talent or an interest, you could work in that area.
The former USSR fell because of their rampant military spending. Communism was NOT why they didn't succeed.
Yes yes, some bad things happened. Not as bad or as often as the media of the era would have you believe. No I would not want to live under stalinism.
Vision is a legitimate answer. A strong vision of what they want a company to be is needed. Now, very few CEOs actually have a vision, or a plan to make their vision come to fruition, but that's a different issue.
Because the motivation for bonus impacts you, even you you aren't a share holder.
When a company makes a move that is a long time loss, and will cause financial instability in an entire market, but garners a 100 million dollar bonus to a CEO based on the immediate shorter returns it's a bad thing.

The use of that word makes women uncomfortable. Please be courteous with your language.

Your link is horrid. The use of strikeout to only something is crappy and poor journalism. Also, factually incorrect.

What's wrong with Drones?
He is saying people shouldn't speak anonymously; which is the corner stone of freedom of speech.
Ir's the best time. Tragedy, and 'close calls' is the best motivator to get people started exercising.
This isn't his funeral, it's slashdot.
S he does good things, and the you bitch?
And then you wrap it up with what is clearly a lack of understanding about the trade agreements.

Nope. Maybe you should take a look before opening your yap?

So you want the average consumer to download an app and install some patch?
Just like when they get an email saying to run the attached file fro a window update?
hahaha, no. I suggest you look at the long history of safety and the auto business.

If the money paid to top athletes was cut in half, nothing would change. The same people would be there competing and doing the same thing.
What else are those 500 going to do? Rocket surgery?
Same with CEOs
" People worked because they were forced and hated it. "
And that's different in the US how? Hell, in the former USSR if you didn't work you still got shelter and meals, albeit possible in a prison.

Like windows 8!
to a percentage of income and applied at everyone at the company. CEO get a 500% bonus? everyone gets a 500% bonus.
