If I'm not driving it, it should only need to be insured against damage caused by others. If it causes an accident, that's the manufacturers liability, not mine, as I wasn't driving it. If it's any way made to be my liability, I'm not going to buy it. I'd rather hire a self driving taxi than own the liability of my own self driving car.
Thank you for informing me of this. That's good to know. Going to need a second usb-c port then, as one is for headphones, and one for charging or data transfer. But usb-c isn't really a real estate saver over a standard headphone jack. And taking me from 2 ports to 1 is not how I care for them to save space. So to clarify, when I say come up with a new standard headphone jack, I also intended that to mean it's a dedicated audio port, not sharing purpose with my power / data port.
No headphone jack, no deal. If you want to come up with a new standard for a headphone jack, be my guest... but it needs to be ANALOG, like current headphone jacks. But I don't object to making the jack smaller, as long as it's an open standard that any headphone manufacturer is free to produce. By the way, the OnePlus 5 has a headphone jack.
Either think twice about posting it, or learn how to protect your identity online. You can use throw away email addresses, fake names, a good vpn service that doesn't log, and a browser setup not to leak so much information about you.
Also, consider the privacy policy of the service(s) you are posting on. Do they keep logs? If so, for how long? Logged IP addresses don't need to be kept for much longer than 30 days. That's more than enough time to react to some form of abuse of the platform. If the logs of IP's aren't there, the government can't ask for them. While taking issue with a government for asking for this data makes sense, it also makes sense to apply pressure to these services to stop enabling government fishing expeditions by cleaning up their logs regularly. Keeping logs of IP's for long periods of time are never in the interest of the users... means the service either intends to sell or misuse the data, or they are just too lazy to care about their customer's privacy.
Learn to navigate the internet safely, or others will use it to harm you.
Seriously. WTF is wrong with my country? It's now being run by a bunch of paranoid schizophrenics, afraid of everything, and trying to ruin our lives 'to be safe'. I'm really sick of it.
It should be capable of understanding normal language, any known language, and execute the idea of what you asked for... But do so with disastrous unconsidered consequences. Man should not toy with technology!
All this means is that someone didn't know how to go about it the first time. They withdraw this one, then come back with a proper request tied with a permanent gag order. Takes care of that nasty little law suit, and they will still get what they want.
Intent or not, it should not be a crime to send such a graphic. Shouldn't matter if the recipient is an epileptic. It's just a graphic. There was no physical assault.
Maybe we should litter the internet with such images to keep the images considered part of everyday life. Just like my kid should be able to take peanut butter sandwiches to school.
For those with such issues... If it hurts if you touch it, then don't touch it. If the internet can harm you, don't use it. If peanut butter can kill you, stay out of places that will have it. Don't see me rushing to be a bee keeper with my bee allergy.
So, those 'Russian' hackers, or WikiLeaks, or Snowden, or some other hero of the people... Go get us those emails BEFORE the election! Get them now! Voters need to know!
You have your documents up, half written, spread sheets with data you need for on-call, a long running backup in a window you forgot to run in Screen or tmux, and any other number of things that mean you can't reboot right now. Especially if it's going to be a reboot that says "don't turn off your computer, we're messing with shit for 30 minutes." We have boss' breathing down our necks for productivity, there's no time to reboot and wait.
Besides, it might make me lose my place when browsing imgur. Fuck that!:)
Waze is given the destination address before I start driving. Listening to it's direction, as with any GPS device, is not using my cell phone while driving. Please stop trying to re-define what we are doing to fit your rant.
Whoa whoa whoa. Easy man. Don't need to go with the pay with your life stuff.
It's simple. If it's a public road, owned and maintained by the city / town... it's fair game. If it's not, and it's a privately owned and maintained road, we should stay off of it, and so should Waze.
Now if someone purposely causes an accident to re-route traffic, the law can already handle them. What they should do, is lobby and petition their local government to add stop signs at every intersection, and step up policing. That works pretty well, and when the cop shows up on Waze, people will avoid it, anyway. But short of that, if it's a public road, and people are driving legally on it, obeying the signs, you're just going to have to take it.

I worry I'll never see it as I imagine it. If only I were a director!

Why would I ever contribute to a spy agency who spy's on it's own people?

...fuck you. No.
Today they want to record my face, tomorrow it'll be imaging my balls. No!

...CK!!!!!
I do NOT want my browsing habits on my phone, where the carrier spies on all of it and records it forever. Nooope!
Thank you for this.
One of the percs I looked forward to was sneaking up on unsuspecting pedestrians and then honking. Government sucks.
You have 4 new messages:
police: Stop resisting!!!
police: Stop resisting!!!

I take that back. Unwise words spoken in the heat of the moment.
