I'm not dismissive of the argument that seat belt laws are overreaching - but you said my exampleS were bad and you only touched on that one, ignoring the rest.
Drinking and driving+speeding laws are clear cut and simple. You are not allowed to engage in needless risky behavior when on public roads.
Your rights as an individual are outweighed by the rights of everyone else not to be exposed to that risk.
> I didn't buy cars easily capable of going well over 100mph, to not occasionally 'air them out' when conditions around were safe to do so.
And if you bothered to read the article, this would not prevent you doing this in the slightest.
> I don't need the govt. limiting me.
There is a not insignificant chance that seat belt and DUI legislation has saved your life without you ever realizing it. Your freedoms are weighed against the statistical chance of hurting others. Deal with it.
> Geez, the nanny state is growing further and faster than ever....are people so scared for their lives these days that they are afraid to live a little and have some risk in their lives?
Look into anti-vaxx. There's lots of unnecessary ways to risk your life "these days" AND the life of others if you are that particular brand of asshole.
The amount I have to pay is the only price that I'm interested in. That goes for ALL purchases.
A breakdown that shows me how much of that money goes to pay employees toilet paper and various taxes is nice, but ultimately a total irrelevance unless I can use them for deductions etc.
Taxes that a company has to pay isn't interesting to me. I don't care. And the beauty is that if everyone lists full price, nobody is at a pricing disadvantage.
> We DO have laws against these sorts of spam calls in the US. We also have laws against people sending email spam too. Actually managing to enforce these laws is a different matter entirely.
No, it's really easy when it comes to phone calls - Got an illegal spam call? Report and person gets a hefty fine. Can't identify caller? Move punishment to the company that provides the call. Done. There is no reason for someone dialling YOU to be anonymous to your telcom provider. And no, there is no reason to make exceptions for any category of calls, be it political or non-profit.
I just don't understand how you can have spam calls like that and be ok with it. Is it an american thing? Do people think that proper laws to outlaw that behaviour is some sort of free speech issue?
Can't find any numbers fresher than 3Q17, but Gartner seems to disagree with you:
"Global sales of smartphones to end users totaled 383 million units in the third quarter of 2017, a 3 percent increase over the same period in 2016, according to Gartner, Inc. All of the top five smartphone vendors achieved double-digit growth apart from Apple, which achieved a 5.7 percent increase."
Why not just wait to announce immediate availability until more than a handful of people can get it immediately? It wouldn't cost anything to just tell it like it is instead of inflating the story to look good.
Why should I have to wait to order till there is enough to go around?
He was never formally accused, only wanted for questioning. And when it turned out that they could only question him, and not take custody of him they lost interest...
What exactly is he getting away with? The Swedish police were apparently not interested in interviewing him when offered - they were only looking to have him in custody for some reason...

Make it the responsibility of your phone company to block spoofed calls with a nice penalty for failing.
Problem instantly solved.
No, not "work related" emails. Just "work emails". And why in the world should you work on your free time?
ooooh, is this one of those facebooky "please ask me about what I'm referring to"?

"that all employees will respect Intel's values and adhere to the company's code of conduct,"
How exactly does not adhering to the company's code of conduct show that?
Well, how big a deal is it if these get cremated? Because that will happen regularly.
No, I don't mean punish the remote network - YOUR provider should be on the hook. The technical "challenges" would melt away in 10 seconds.

What is the source for your claim?
But I WANT a one stop shop like itunes or other streaming services.
If they won't take my money I'll make my own using Plex.
...Well, then it's hardly a plugin anymore, is it?
That's just regular spying, not actually changing the vote counts.

I'm assuming you grew up on Iceland, but nothing on man made is that old on Iceland. Did I assume wrong?
As a metal detector user my historic artifact to junk ratio is going to get quite the boost...
Just a small portion of his ashes. Postage to the Kupier belt is still pretty expensive.
If that is the case, be honest about it.
"Let me be clear – as in the physical space, cyber security CAN come at the expense of cyber privacy."
See? Now THAT would be an honest statement, and I could rightfully criticize it.
"Let me be clear – as in the physical space, cyber security cannot come at the expense of cyber privacy."
But that is precisely what is going on.
Ok, who didn't have to lookup that word?
