  1. I can just see it. Having acquired autonomous car permits, Uber proudly announces that it can now ignore cyclists with impunity.

  2. So now you're saying that the safety drivers are expected to pay attention?

    What job could be worse than being an Uber driver? Being an Uber Safety Driver.

    It is a way for Uber to increase its customer base. If cyclists are unable to ride due to injury, then some percentage of them will start using Uber. It increases revenue, leading to higher profits, executive bonuses, and greater shareholder value. Any executive would ask: what's not to like?

  4. Getting them erect would continue to be a priority even if impregnating is unimportant. But lack of the baculum bone doesn't seem to have caused any problem in this area of interest. A sufficiently large data set gives rise to confidence in this conclusion.

  5. Director: get that actor a smaller codpiece!

    Assistant: Um, sir, he isn't wearing a codpiece.

  6. There is no reason nerds can't have an interest in news about penises.

  7. Not all scientists are crap in bed. I can't speak for other fields of science. But scientists in computer related fields don't seem to have any difficulty getting erect even though the species lost the penis bone.

  8. The Republican version of Big Government In The Bedroom allows people to have lots of children without having to stay together. Their ideal goal is that children should be the result of both a lack of sex education combined with no access to birth control or ability to terminate pregnancies.

  9. Yes. Homo Erectus lost the penis bone. It's not something to make an adolescent joke about. As some people know, modern penises still become very erect and function just fine. A large enough data set of samplings can make one confident of this fact.

  10. Some people do not get their brains sucked out by a vagina.

    Sir, you are behind the times. If Trump fails, the thing to do is bring up Hillary's emails.

    Despite having the word "Auto" in it, driving while getting Autofellatio is crazy. Getting fellatio from a passenger while driving is almost but not quite equally crazy. A passenger who would eagerly perform the service would be crazy to do so unless you pull over and stop driving first. Friends don't give friends fellatio while they are driving. Consult expert advice about such matters.

    If there is enough of them, and it is a matter of SURVIVAL, a wall isn't going to stop them. It will turn very ugly.

    We're going to need a LOT more killer drones people.

    Yes, really. Once resources become scarce enough, and suddenly a catastrophe eliminates a large chunk of them, there will be a lot of people fighting for survival and a share of the planet's resources.

    (Idea: the government should tax us for clean air and clean water. It costs money to add pollution controls. People should have to pay for it. You don't think clean air grows on trees do you?)

    I think when somebody buys it, they understand that this has been modified. They don't think they're getting an unmodified Ubuntu.

    Dear Internet Service Providers:

    If we didn't have data caps, then we wouldn't need data cap exemptions or Zero Rating, or whatever marketing euphemism you want to call it.

    According to TFA, they are distributing MODIFIED images. So it's not genuine Ubuntu.

    It is the name.

    Coca Cola would not like me to add drain opener to their product, call it "Coke" and distribute it.

    The evil Coca Cola company wants to stop me from adding drain opener to their product and then calling it "Coke".

    You could probably sell them as modified Fords. As long as the customer understood what he was getting.

    If a customer had a problem with a Ford that turned out to be a modified Ford and the modifications were the problem (or even if they weren't) then Ford would likely take action. They rightly don't want their valuable brand name tarnished by someone's modifications.

    The GPL cannot give me permission to use the Ubuntu trademark.

    Canonical may be willing to enter an agreement to allow use of the Ubuntu trademark, but only under certain conditions. After all, my modifications may reflect poorly on their valuable name.

    I remember a few years ago. I went in to my AT&T store, expressly asking to see Android phones. The droids started pushing Windows Phones on me and I just laughed out loud.
