I thought governing via Twitter saved all that hot air. Henceforth it is decreed that no government record or communication shall exceed 140 characters.
Look, whatever Trump has done, or will do, he can pardon himself.
If Ford could pardon Nixon before any charges were even filed, then maybe Trump could pardon all of his children and their children, even yet unborn; before any charges are filed.
You are making assumptions about the implementation of the User Agent with which I read Slashdot.
Suppose that when you used the capitalized words RIGHT NOW, that the following text would be silently executed as a command due to a bug or deliberate programming vulnerability. Now imagine that a similar bug or vulnerability exists within the car radio when displaying text. Maybe it has a format injection bug. Or some undocumented markup language that it supports, which was poorly implemented with a vulnerability.
Gee, if you can display text on the radio's display, or the car's infotainment system, could there possibly be any weakness in individual implementations?
Maybe the police should lobby to have certain texts that signal all nearby cars to cut engine power.
Years ago, I seem to recall an internet video. Was it Swedes listening to a car radio? I can't quite recall. Two parents in the front seats of the car. Two young girls sitting in the car's back seats. The video was a commercial for learning English. In the commercial, the two children understood the, um, shall we say, not so family friendly lyrics being played over the radio in English. The parents didn't understand the lyrics. The mom began to rock her head and snap her fingers to the music. The two children snicker at each other. Then the commercial fades to text that says Learn English . . . and name of a company that offers lessons.
An FM radio signal is broadcast? It silences nearby car radios and displays a message in the cars? What could possibly go wrong. I can't see any potential problems with this plan. No, nosiree.
Google developed a video codec to have better compression and quality characteristics. VP9 is royalty free, which is probably the other reason Google developed it. Since it is only the cost of some additional binary code in the OS to provide an additional codec, I don't understand why Apple didn't add this codec years ago.
Streaming quality may suck on pocket sized screens. It's not so horrible on a living room screen.
Whistle blowing should not be considered treason. After seeing how other whistleblowers were treated, by the Obama administration, I can see why Snowden chose the actions he took. He was willing to give up his comfortable life to alert us all to a gigantic problem. One which has generated a huge amount of public debate. And has led to some actual reforms.
As for being able to make their case so the country can understand the issues, I suppose they could appear on talk shows. Write a book. Which then becomes a movie, er . . . oh, wait.
Even better would be if there had been legitimate channels where whistle blowers could have reported problems without fear of reprisals.
A pardon may not completely say that their acts were justified, but it at least gets them out of trouble.
The problem with a court proceeding is that it puts them back in jeopardy of whatever way the winds may blow in court.
So you provide a concrete example of what elrous0 was saying, as you insult Android which can play the videos that Apple users are unable to play.
I don't care what mobile OS you use. I'm not trying to convince you to use the one I use. But if you like yours so much, why do you care about others? And if you have a legitimate complaint about other non-Apple OSes, then state what those issues are.
We don't have flying cars for a number of reasons. Efficiency, reliability, user safety, public safety, supporting infrastructure (where to land), new complex regulatory requirements. eg, what about cars flying over your house.
That said, see my post above about why Elon Musk is unwittingly responsible for flying cars. Spoiler: electric cars threaten fossil fuel industry which will push for flying cars that use even more fuel and won't be electric any time soon.
And they have the lobbying power to make it happen despite all of the logical reasons why we don't have flying cars now.

The other 96 % of the world's population may decide to ignore us Americans.
American English is the kind that British would never use.
So you are saying that Autopilot is mis-named even for aviation?
Then Autopilot should just be deflated and no longer used.

Curable only makes it go extinct if there is a persistent campaign to eradicate it.

Not Moscow time. But Trump time. He usually tweets while taking a trump on his solid gold toilet at approximately 3 AM.
Not just Europeans, sir. But everyone else in the world. America is number one.
As someone helpfully pointed out above, it was a Dutch video.

What do you mean this is stupid?
What you call stupid, I predict will become hours and hours of fun and laughter.

I think you'll have to wait until 3:17 AM to find out.
Leprosy, aka Hansen's Disease, is treatable and curable.

I believe Ford pre-emptively pardoned Nixon before any charges were filed.

Snowden should also be pardoned.

What are you saying? That 4K has no meaning on my 320x240 screen?
Flying cars are a superior, fast and efficient approach to decreasing the global population.
I do not believe that Trump's hotel party in Russia will significantly influence color choices of vehicles.
