Like several people posting in this thread, I have served time in prison (four years). I can tell you that in a perfect world, where people who are rehabilitated and ready for society are released promptly, that makes some amount of sense. But you may or may not be aware, we do not live in a perfect world. A good anecdotal response is this. During my tenure as a guest of the state, I met a man in his mid to late 50s or so, who I have no doubt was rehabilitated and not a danger to society. He was serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole for first degree murder. He had been in prison since he was 20 years old. During his time in prison, he had gotten his GED, volunteered extensively with the prisonâ(TM)s chapel, learned Spanish for the sole purpose of teaching English to Spanish speakers in the prisonâ(TM)s education program, tutored GED students (as did I), written a series of childrenâ(TM)s books (being sold on Amazon now), and has taken every possible college course offered through the prisonâ(TM)s partnership with a local community college. Iâ(TM)ve never heard him utter a cross word to anyone, and he has never had any disciplinary actions against him since his incarceration. The parole board has denied him parole 3 times, stating he is not yet rehabilitated. The way the board works, they donâ(TM)t have to provide justification, they just deny. And do you know what he murdered another man for? That man raped his little sister.
The American populous needs to realize that the justice system in this country often does not provide justice, and in a country that has 4% of the worlds population, and 25% of its incarcerated population, everyone is affected in some way, or they soon will be.
I can see perhaps for Netflix or Amazon but is anyone really sharing their cable account password?
I've been using my aunt's for years. She pays for pretty much every channel with DirecTV (except HBO for some reason!?), but because of her internet options where she lives, is unable to make use of the streaming features, so I (with her permission) do.
Um... What forced upgrades? As an AppleCare advisor who has seen iPhone 6â(TM)s (not 6sâ(TM)s) on iOS 8, I feel as though you should maybe do a little more research.
How many limited warranties do you see that cover "accidental" damage like that, and not just manufacturing defects? And secondly, the replacement device will have the same warranty as the original, meaning that it ends on the same day.
Been running iOS 11 since dev release on my phone. Works fairly well on latest beta release. Only issue not fixed by, at most, a quick restart is that I can no longer stream videos from iTunes libraries using Home Sharing. It actually did work on previous beta releases. But if that's not an issue for you, do and iTunes backup and get the beta. It's doing alright for me.
P.S. Biggest issue requiring restart is the phone will have trouble maintaining LTE connection and will drop down to 3G.
Happens about once a week at most, and fixed by a restart, but be aware of it.
I'm almost positive you're trolling... but I gotta know. Source? I'm also just going to point out that the "$99/year" service is for several Apple-only internet stations, and not accessible by any other means (legitimately). And furthermore, the service also affords you access to just about the entire iTunes library at no extra charge. (Granted, you're leasing the music, not buying it).
Disclaimer: This is just my common sense talking; I feel like there has probably already been extensive testing done in closed-course situations and computer simulations. The problem with an emerging technology of this type is that you cannot account for the human element without a great deal of exposure to it. That's for both the programmers of the car's software, and the other drivers on the road. What your stating sounds to me like wanting a toddler to run before it can walk when it just learned to crawl a few months ago. Apple/Tesla/Alphabet et. al. are not asking for the go ahead to sell self-driving cars, they just want the regulations to be more friendly for their side.
That being said, I feel you are right that there should still be extensive testing (though I think it probably qualifies for on-road at this point), and just as important; I feel as though it should be as transparent as possible without the divulgement of trade-secrets. I'm a realist, I understand that everyone's in it for a buck.
Side note: Reading your comment took me a few tries when I stumbled over the "blind folded" part. I kept thinking you meant actual blind drivers folded in half.
I second this. I work as a corrections officer in Kansas, working with >800 inmates Minimum to Maximum security inmates five days a week, and I only make $12.98/hour, with very bleak outlook in the way of raises.
It's actually not that hard to get your charter account I'm sure. And that is the last step of setting up your account. Give HBO Go a shot, it's like Netflix, but free (sort of). And they have quite a bit of content. I chose it over the illegitimate sources several times.
I'm all for going the easier route with piracy if need be, but have some realistic expectations about what's "impractical".
I was unaware that the 3G phone use in North Korea was a relevant enough topic for a "project research". Nor that it had such a strong connection to costume "Jewelry". Must be some important jewelry if they make a proper noun out of it.

I swear to God man, it really seems like you copy-pasted this right off of the website.

*Cough Cough* The iPhone 4s is still eligible for service.
As opposed to how any other insurance works? You don't pay a deductible for your ER visit with your insurance? That's pretty good.

I can't tell if you're joking, serious, or trolling, but regardless, good job.
Does anyone else remember the fake news ticker at the bottom of Sim City? Does this not seem like something you would read there?
