The only thing offensive about any of this, is that they show any ads at all. I paid to see the movie, not your ads. Now, if you want to show ads at the beginning and that lets me in for free, then I'm all for it. Otherwise, bugger off.
And they aren't about to make the same kind of mistake they made with cell phones. If police and their masters had known how effective cell phone cameras would be in exposing widespread physical abuse of civilians, they'd have made it illegal to point any kind of recording device at a cop years ago.
Yeah... No. They saw all that with video cameras thirty years ago. Ill-behaved cops tried to get us to not record then and it didn't work. The difference now, is that more people are paying attention and recording. Maybe,.
If one of them suckers comes over my land, it is coming down. Before you drone jockeys get your knickers in a knot, my shotgun has a range of less than a 1000 feet. Even less when pointed upwards...
I was happy with the internet before ads and would welcome the return of an ads-free internet. The only commercial sites that I have any use for, are vendor sites whose products I already use and therefore need support.
No. I have FIOS for cable and internet service with NO phone service. I have a cell phone and don't need landline. I simply called them and said that I want this and this. They asked if I wanted their triple play thingie. They had a special limited time price which would have made it cheaper. I declined. No mess, no fuss.
And to add to the rediculousness, when I was flying into St Maarten's airport (the famous one that's right over the beach) last month, the whole plane was reminded that we needed to put away our phones for pictures because "we aren't in FAA airspace, so the rules don't apply here." I guess the EM spectrum is different outside the States...
What airlines have you been on? I've never been told I couldn't take pictures with my camera. Or maybe this was just a St. Maarten's thing.
It's sort of like patenting the application of ink to paper using a pen.
NOOOOO! I have been working on this for years and just sent in my patent application for this. I was sure this would make millions when I solved the problem of the pen leaking when I had it in my front shirt pocket. At this point, the basic solution was to take a Ziploc bag and refit it to the pocket.
Shush, you! Don't ruin a good story about how the press is censored in the US.
And I love these books; "The Top Censored Stories and Media Analysis of YYYY" Um... Wait. Why are these books censored? Ah! These stories weren't censored, nobody gave a damn. Governments don't need to censor when the public is kept fat and lazy.
I am so sorry I maligned you and villified you for taking a third term when we had term limits. I'll even burn my Big Gulp jug. I see the error of my ways and that error has a name; Bill de Blasio. I know you left us, just to remind us how truly awful government can be. Now that we've learned our lesson, please come back!

Why should inmates have access to any mobile phones or the internet at all?

I haven't, directly, needed to write any Javascripts in over five years. I've fixed a few nit-wits hand-coded JS, but that's it.

Just asking.
None. That I know of.
And there you go, proving his point...
Yeah, well, the cop didn't look too upset when he walked back to his squad car. The shooting happened after the 'perp' opened his door and ran.
Sad, but true.
Also true;
The Democratic politicians are paid to do this. If you want the truth don't vote democratic.
Now what?
I truly expected to be living in a frozen tundra by now. At least that is what I was taught was coming when I was kid. In the Northeast.
Why are you so afraid of the governor's gender being revealed?
What? You really want a link? What for? No one ever reads the articles...

Actually, Apple has an app for that.

Shhh... Slashdot is not the place for common sense.
Sigh...
It joke goes, "If pro is the opposite of con, what is the opposite of Progress?"
I've often wondered how stupid would an extraterrestrial civilization be to want to come to this planet?

They're leaving. And have thanked us for all the fish.
