A while back I was shopping in Trader Joe's and overhead a woman who was looking at the choices for hot dogs (of all things) exclaim 'So many choices, I wish that someone would tell me what to buy'. I can only make the assumption that she applies the very same logic to all the decisions that she has to make. It's a sad, sad world (or at least country) that we live in.
These are meant to be in INTERNATIONAL waters - far from any coastline and thus, collateral damage. Unless some unlucky bastard happened to be directly under the falling debris...
And the US and others for having their head up their asses. Seriously, the resources are on Chinese territory they can do with it as they please. Just be glad that they are willing to sell at all. These minerals exist in other countries as well, but they shut down their production to buy from China. Deal with it an re-open the old mines. Southern California has a fair sized deposit in the Mojave desert. I know that production has started up, but it will take some time to get meaningful quantities. Until then, tough shit.
I have other friends in law enforcement / military with similar stories. Walk right on board with a gun and not realize it until they were in the hotel.

I agree that physical violence is appropriate in the case. If an update locks up an application that I have legally paid for and then demands yet more money to unlock it, I'd have to say that the developers need to be publically flogged and run out of town.
It will be a cold day in hell before I drive a car that would automatically correct for lane drift. I really hate any fucking machine that thinks it knows my intention. If I ever bought a car that had that feature, you can be assured that it would be disconnected or disabled before I drove it more than the distance from the dealer to my house.
The terrorists have already won. FTFY. They have caused a state of irrational fear. They have changed the lives of every single American alive. They have cost us in the lives of American soldiers in a pointless war in Afghanistan and Iraq. We have spent BILLIONS on these wars. They have caused us to spend BILLIONS of dollars in an largely ineffective program of trying to reassure people that they will be safe. While we may not be able to say that they have destroyed our economy, I think that it's a pretty safe bet that a good part of the reason for our current economic stress is either directly or indirectly related to this. One good example is the airline bailout following 9-11. Our Constitution has been gutted and people's rights have been trampled into the ground.
IMO, the real terrorists now are the war contractors, our elected officials and the fucking sheeple who put them there.

You know it. It's by rail or by car now for me. Has been fr the last 5 or 6 years now.
CONDOMS.
This is about the stupidest thing that I have read all day. These people need to grow up.

Why doesn't someone simply go up to the guys who propose this crap and simply SHOOT THEM IN THE FUCKING HEAD!?
I have actually done that. It was pretty cool. And tasty!
Ummm. Free? No, wait! You pay me and I'll consider installing it.

I can't. So I broke it up a bit:

"Users can track their payments and statements within the iTunes billing system, which keeps the credit card information safe and secure."
Are you stupid enough to believe that statement about it being 'safe and secure"? If so, I have a bridge that I'd like to sell you.
The only sure fire way to keep such information safe and secure is to not have a credit card to begin with.
Turn signals require power.
Or,
They are complete dick heads.
Or.
Both.

Right on brother!
Bugger the children!!!
That's not really setting the bar very high.
You could say that he could soon be the best driver in California, but again that's not all that high.
Copper clad steel wire has been around for decades. This is new how?
Ford as a company died when Henry Ford died. It has just taken a really, really long time.

Yep, and if some dip-shit tailgates me, I simply down shift. They learn real quick to pull back.
Amen, brother

Sad. So very sad.
If I had mod points, you would get them.
