Not to mention how aware will it be of its surroundings beyond other cars on the road? Last thing I want it to is steer me clear of hitting another car only to toss me off the edge of a cliff.
So we know that a good chunk of government agencies require the EPEAT cert but what about public schools? Could this slowly put an end to ipads/apple products in general being used in the school environment?
Teachers love it because it allows them to be lazy. The same reason some teachers are now relying on quizzes and activities provided by book publishers on their website, one less thing they need to look at or grade. The sad part is if you don't buy your book new, you get to pay $30 to the publisher for the privilege of taking tests.
Yeah and if you don't like your car being stolen, buy a fuckin bike!
Wait you don't like your bike being stolen? Well walk you lazy piece of shit!
Oh your house got broken into? Well wtf are you doing living in a house, you were totally asking for it. Sell the house, buy a tent and go live in the forest you dumbass!
You're right but sadly the union and teachers failed to police themselves at all. They could have stepped in at any point and regulated themselves but in failing to do so they opened themselves up for outsiders to come in and start passing judgement.
The ball was in their court, they held the power, they could have started the conversation long ago on how to do this while remaining fair. They instead used their power to try and protect themselves from any sort of criticism and now they are facing the backlash from that.
Let me ask you this.. if Yahoo didn't pay the reward, what would he have done with that confidential info? Does he sell it to someone else?
Why does he have it at all? He can disclose the security problem to yahoo and they can verify it.. that does not require he steal something from the server.
You're assuming he stole anything from Yahoo... all the article states is that he found a vulnerability. You're simply assuming a lot of things here that have no basis in what we know for sure. If he blackmailed Yahoo there is zero reason to think they wouldn't have gone after him even after paying up. The article states that he simply disclosed a security vulnerability and they rewarded him, something other companies have been known to do without being blackmailed.
No where does it sound like bribery/blackmail, you implied it.
Google has been known to give rewards to those who find problems in their security or a bug (as in the case of chrome). Why would it be so far fetched to think Yahoo did the same?
We need to understand that we can only blame these large corporations so much. We spoke with our dollar, we told them we want more shit and that we want it cheaper. If Apple moved all their manufacturing here and prices only had to rise by $60 dollars, they would be losing ground even faster to android/MS phones. It's not just corporations that need to change their act in regards to location of their labor, we also need to speak with our dollars and be willing to pay more for products made here.
But does Google actually forcibly inject ads into sites that didn't sign up for them? I'm not sure there is much of a parallel here between what this company is doing and Google/Facebook.
Essentially this company created several adware-like plugins that allow users to do trivial things such as add a background image on facebook, in return the plugin injects ad's onto the site. It isn't a new browser, it's more akin to a greasemonkey script.
If I remember correctly, didn't MS also give Samsung/HTC rather large ad budgets for advertising their windows phones? I'm willing to bet Samsung/HTC got something out of paying those licensing fees. B&N however has no need/interest in making a windows phone 7 OS based device, MS simply had nothing to offer them.
Agreed, it may not always work out but I'm willing to bet Team Fortress 2 pulls in more money with their current F2P model than they did previously. They may have simply seen that in the long run the current subscription idea wouldn't work out but it doesn't mean they were in trouble yet or even close.
Further helping to support his claim that it has a lot to do with the events we associate with a so called sugar high.
Those are all fun days for a kid, of course they're gonna be hyperactive, that's what kids do. At least until we teach them to plant their fat asses in front of an xbox for 8 hours a day.

Unless those guard rails are on the edge of a cliff in which case lets bump those up to MUST NOT HIT objects and reevaluate hitting another car.

A link to the actual complaint for anyone to read over (legal speak makes my head hurt so don't count on me to read it).

And social services would just ignore you at that point.

Seems like there might be times it simply freaks the driver out and makes them over correct the wrong direction.
At the request of the owner of the content. Google doesn't just randomly inject ads on every website you view.
But does Google actually forcibly inject ads into sites that didn't sign up for them? I'm not sure there is much of a parallel here between what this company is doing and Google/Facebook.
Well it isn't necessary.
Essentially this company created several adware-like plugins that allow users to do trivial things such as add a background image on facebook, in return the plugin injects ad's onto the site. It isn't a new browser, it's more akin to a greasemonkey script.
This has what to do with the subject at hand? A private business deciding not to sell "adult" rated entertainment is now an example of fascism?
I fail to see how its wrong either.
Do you really want the government to get involved in deciding what a business must sell? Is that truly any better than non-government censorship ?
Because an optional rating system is now on par with government censorship ?

"Google Music will also let users buy albums and songs from all major music labels, except Warner."
I might be able to understand not clicking through to the article before asking questions but come on, it was in the summary.
Agreed, it may not always work out but I'm willing to bet Team Fortress 2 pulls in more money with their current F2P model than they did previously.

Shocking, it's almost as if Slashdot is made up of multiple people with varying opinions.

That same 90% won't care about upgrading to the next version of Android and may not even know it exists.
