And rightly so. Freedom of speech does come with responsibilities. Many people seem to want to forget that these days and interpret 'freedom of speech' as 'freedom to insult, harass, annoy and otherwise bother people.'
You can make the phone do this itself. If it sees many masts go by in a short time it can conclude it is moving and then stop working. That is killing two birds with one stone: no more phone-related car accidents and no more annoying people in the train who shout in their phones! It's a win/win situation!
You sound like one of those Linux nerd in the 1990s who shouted that if you complain about there being no driver for a certain piece of hardware you can easily write it yourself. Think before you say something like this. Not everybody is a politician at heart and/or has the time and money and energy to do what you suggest.
We here in Holland can do that too. In that way you can excersise your right to vote AND give the message that you think none of the parties is good enough to get your vote. That is way better than not showing up, because not showing up gives the message that you are too laze or don't give a damn. And in my opinion, if you don't show up you are not entitled to complain. You had your chance to change things but you chose not to, so then you'll just have to face the consequences.
And you know what? Most people will just shrug their shoulders and not even think that it is a bit weird that they can't run what they want on their own machines, because they are used to that and they don't know any better.
You are certainly right. It's the reason we normal users are not allowed to do anything on our own computers anymore at our university, except running programs that were approved by the IT guys and saving data. The normal users managed to generate so much work for the IT guys that managing every single computer on the campus is actually less work for them than figting viruses and other horrible stuff the normal users managed to get on their PCs.

What!? Are there more?

Did he say that? I never knew.
Because we haven't really gotten to know each other.
My colleague always says: "Never let the facts get in the way of a good story."
I do the same thing. What use are windows when you maximize them all?

That is true if there isn't a way to vote blanco.

I said it before and I say it again: corruption is legal in the USA. Maybe not on paper but in practice it has been since a long time.
Nonsense. A bit of tape over the camera does wonders. If my boss spies on me I'm very sure I don't want to work for him anyway.
Science wants to set its own pace as much as information wants to be free.
Please no, we don't need any more overview papers from scientists who are not good enough to come with something new every once in a while.
Facebook has become the 1990's MS of the 2010's. Every week a new exploit.
If politics is an issue you can always bring peace with some bombs before you start building.
Yeah, like the space elevator! I'd love to see one of those be built, but that will probably only happen in my dreams in my life.
You can still do that and I love it. That's why I still pay the cable company.
No, I didn't.

Your kid's mother?
So you say it's... better than the iPad? But that's impossible!
They were not the first. Bugatti was there much much earlier (1909 vs 1929).
Spelling seems to hurt him. And his spelling hurts me, too!
