No argument that/. has lost much over the years but painting everyone here as heartless dicks is hyperbole and speaks more to a depression you seem to be undergoing than to the supposed lack of empathy we (those/.ers that aren't you) have.
We have moved beyond declaring vendettas, feuds and vigilantes for the loss of loved ones (letting the justice system assume the burden). Why should we continue to humour someone when they lash out and shirk the blame onto innocents? One can grieve without lashing out & the father should have done so.
No. A "grieving father" doesn't get a free pass to blame others for his daughter's (and his own) responsibilities in the accident. - Drinking 3 times over the limit and then _driving_. - Purchasing a vehicle that is beyond your capacity to handle (at least while drunk).
Who exactly was it that _didn't_ sufficiently ingrain into his daughter that drinking and driving is lethal?

So you think that Blackberry, Samsung & HTC have all been using out of spec connectors? Sorry, blaming poor implementation of connectors isn't the problem. The problem is that the Micro-USB specification itself is weak and doesn't meet the promises the USB forum promised it had. We clearly don't have as much professional experience with Apple products and thus with lightning than with Micro-USB but lightning doesn't suffer from the weak center post is reversible so no putting it in the "wrong" way and uses a connector where the contacts are flush with the connector, making it materially less subject to weakening connector contact pressure over time.
Where it not for the Apple copyright & entrenched NIH syndrome a Lightning style connector would have been a far better choice than the much improved USB-C connector because it still retains that fragile connecter laden/weakened center post.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... states that the Spaceport facility will be used for testing returned 1st stages but I did indeed omit the Boca Chica site as information on it's readiness is hard to find.
I see your personal anecdote and raise with the results of a company that has a thousand cell phones.
We have boxes full of broken phones at work and 25-33% are there due to micro-USB issues. The female Micro-USB isn't supposed to wear out easily and it's the cable that is supposed to wear out and be replaced. It's not true. The female connectors can wear out in under a year and the fragile center post often gets snapped, both with of which render the phone useless. After 3 years, over half the phones have loose Micro-USB connecters and people cant't wait for a new phone just so they don't have to plug in the phone just so so so that it charges reliably.
We haven't moved to USB-C phones yet and hope that they will be better but clearly micro-USB is a disappointment.
Space-X's has 2 launch centers at the Cape, SLC40 which was damaged but should be repaired and ready in a few months and SLC39C which would have already launched F9 Heavy had it not been for the COPV incident, Vandenburg and is building facilities at Spaceport America near Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Besides which, Falcon 9 is not the Shuttle and does not need weeks/months of launchpad testing.
Mostly correct but the zircon crystals were not "washed ashore" but included in the lava that was spewed up to form the islands. Older, deeper Lava as well as more recent lavas have been shown to contain some zircon crystals older than should have been possible coming from oceanic crust. The solution is that some crustal material is getting recycled back up in the lava.
No, the EU has NOT harmonized tax codes. The EU declared that they want to harmonize tax codes and setup the usual commission to study doing so. The commission has as much chance of actually doing so as cold fusion has of solving global warming.
The persecution of Zimbabwean opposition members that had been talking to the US and the diplomatic damage done to relations between the U.S. and people/governments whose confidential remarks were only given on the condition that they remain secret are both concrete examples of damage caused by Manning's indiscriminate data collection/exposure.
That you now refer to them as "handwaving" when I have been talking about them since the beginning of the thread just shows that you refuse to acknowledge proof that saps your beliefs.
When the U.K received the extradition request from Sweden, Assange was placed in detention like anyone else would be. In order to be released from detention while his appeals of the Swedish extradition in U.K courts were considered, Assange gave multiple oaths given to UK justice system promising to respect their authority, oaths he broke when he fled to the Ecuadorian Embassy.
I'm curious that you are able to completely ignore these well known facts. Is it that you judge that the ends (Assange free do do whatever he wants) justify the means (breaking his oaths)? Is it just Assange, or do you apply this reasoning for yourself? Does the end of getting your rocks off justify to you the act of not respecting a woman's word when she says no too?
Yeah and Bill Clinton "Never had sex with that women" and Bill Gates claimed "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is"
When people are in controversies and there are multiple interpretations of their statements, it is foolish to attempt to attempt to use the clearly false interpretation.
We know that Manning's indiscriminate collection and divulgation has caused damages, Domestic damages, no. International damages, yes. Attempting to advance your agenda by attempting to use quotations when you know that your interpretation does not hold up logically merely shows you have abandoned logic to espouse the agenda. Trump won the presidency doing so. Do you really want to stoop that low?
Selective quotations by those that published your references?
Pray ask Gates/... directly how they reconcile the fact that the indiscriminate nature of Mannings collection and release of information were indisputably harmful and the the claimed absence of damage from them.
Gates/the generals were commenting on the domestic damage of Manning's leaks. The Diplomatic damage done to the US and and the persecution of people like Zimbabwean opposition that were identified and then targeted due to the indiscriminate nature of Manning's collection and then release of information are undeniable. Manning is no angel and his actions had severe consequences for more than just "war criminals".
Lol, the Assange apologist Anonymous Coward thinks that embassies get to label any car "Diplomatic" without any recourse from the host country.
Here's a real world lesson for you coward: Diplomatic vehicles are not an automatic right but a convention negotiated with the host country (generally in exchange for the same courtesy for the hosting nations embassy in the embassies country. When one country revokes the courtesy, say because the other country is harboring a fugitive from justice the only recourse the embassies country has is to revoke the use of diplomatic vehicles on their turf.
The UK has already notified the rest of the world that no diplomatic vehicles will be accepted leaving the Ecuadorian embassy containing an unsearched volume sufficient to hide a lying oath-breaking slimeball weasel.
Hey moron, which part of "services that the government needs" is it that you refuse to understand? Access to space is a need that is indépendant of politics.
Good catch! I did indeed install the restricted addons but unless I'm mistaken, thats because the installer prompts that they are needed to have the MP3 decoder.
So you're one of those blame the victim guys. I'm mostly an iPhone guy but have had pro Androids since Blackberry died. I'm not a potential Tesla owner as they have 2 wheels too many & I don't see my company buying Tesla's before I retire in a decade or two for my company car.
That Android has a security problem is no revelation to me as it is one of the reasons I chose iPhones yet even with all that said, Tesla isn't to blame here.
If you want to push Google to improve Android's Security, stop blaming the victims & start voting with your wallet by abandoning Android. Oh but that would inconvenience you by making your personal choices mean something so you'll continue to blame others and continue funnelling money to Google so they have no reason too change.
Nope. The only countries that would accept Snowden as a "Russian" diplomat are Russian client states. Because I'm sure Snowden would find Minsk so much more agreeable than Moscow...
If you don't want people putting words into your mouth you're going to have to start explaining how you a coherent position.
So now you're claiming that Tesla should prevent people from installing insecure applications on their Android smartphones? The Tesla app isn't insecure, The token it uses to communicate with cars can just be stolen by other bad intentioned apps, something that could happen just as well on iOS.
Tesla should pull it's Android app just because some people can't stop themselves from installing even free game they see because each and every one could potentially steal the token from their android app? And for you the fault lies with Tesla and not with Google nor with the insecure practices of the owners?!?
