They're really more a limousine service (that's the legal category in California, anyway), which is similar, but less regulated than real taxis, and less expensive to get in to.
I saw one of those driving through a parking lot once. It saw every light pole as an oncoming car, so the headlights would go bright, dim, bright, dim, endlessly. It was hilarious.
The technology in 1980 was . . . not fully developed.
I knew a guy, years ago, who had the magic touch for that - he'd just flick the rearview mirror and it would shine the headlights of the car behind us perfectly back in the driver's eyes. I wish I would do that.
And if you can't rip it at the HDMI connector, somebody will crack open the shell of the monitor and tap in to the ribbon cable attacked to the LCD screen itself.
They're more worried about you buying the Big Hero 6 DVD and ripping it so your neighbor's kid can watch it on his tablet, thus causing the neighbor to not buy a DVD he wasn't going to buy anyway. It's still stupid, but not as stupid as what you propose.
It won't even do that. As DVDs shows, when the keys are built in to the hardware, they're impossible to update when they're cracked, and they will be cracked.
I really admire the snake oil salesmen who can convince Hollywood, time and time and time again (remember DIVX - the original DIVX, that is?) that what is done in hardware cannot be trivially duplicated in software.
The fair thing to do would be to put all the voluntarily unvaccinated children in the same class, with no contact with the ones who can't be vaccinated, to protect the latter. Most schools could probably find unvaccinated teachers to teach them, too.
No, that's not really the way it is. There are many reasons why someone can't be vaccinated. Being immunosuppressed is only one of them. Egg allergies are rather more common, and school represents little danger to a kid who is allergic to eggs.
Plus, the number of kids who can't safely be vaccinated is small enough to not break herd immunity. The number of kids whose parents are idiots is much, much larger. As the recent measles (and whooping cough) outbreaks have shown.
The issue isn't whether or not you risk your kid's life, it's whether or not you risk the lives of other people's kids, and others who can't be vaccinated, and whether or not the taxpayer is going to foot the bill when you kid's sick.
That's the thing. To some people, there isn't a difference. It's entirely binary to them. Either everything a doctor says is gospel handed down by God, or it's murderous conspiracy, with nothing in between.
440,000 deaths versus how many millions of people who would have died without medical care? If you want to make it purely about numbers, you still lose, hands down. Without modern medicine, warts and all, average life expectancy is less than 40 years.
One of the doctors who announced he would no longer accept unvaccinated children as patients nailed it with the question "If you don't trust my judgment on the extensive scientific research on the safety of vaccines, how can you possible trust my judgment on anything to do with your children?"
If you really believe that the entire medical profession, literally every one of them, is either criminally incompetent or part of some massive conspiracy, then your only rational choice, when your child is sick, is to sit there and watch them die.
And taking her clothes off in front of cameras. Don't forget that, because that's the equivalent of having a PhD in biochemistry, only better. Just ask her.
I disagree. It is rude. But it's in response to rudeness, so I'm OK with that. And if "No thanks" isn't good enough, the followup is "go away and don't talk to me," followed by making a scene if it's in public, to let everyone else know the asshole is inappropriately aggressive. On the phone, just hang up. You don't owe telemarketers even the courtesy of "no thanks."
Other than devoting 2/3 of the first episode to anti-Catholic propaganda. (And it's not like there aren't plenty of true bad things one could say about the renaissance age Church. He just didn't use any of that, and focused instead on outright fabrications.)

Too late for some.
Yes.. Blaming the user for shitty software...
"Fool me once, shame you on you. Fool me 1,387,406 times, shame on me."
It's not like the fact that nearly all apps are shit is a big secret.

Folks like you said that about digital music, too. And yet, pretty much all music is sold without DRM these days.

You clearly have no idea how crazy the California legislature is.
Well, if it's up to me, then swallow this cyanide pill.
I'm sure the SWAT team will find you an amusing training exercise.

Only if he's an exploding stripper.

You back off man. A scientist is no match for a stripper.

For values of "elsewhere" that start and end with "anywhere other than Twitter, like the pits of Hell."
If you have something to say that can be said in 140 characters, you have nothing to say.
You probably believe that movies "inspired by the title of a true story" bear some resemblance to the actual events, too.
