It's true, they might keep it internal for testing. However, if they do open it up for use I imagine it'll likely not be at a higher price point. If they open it up, they'd want people to actually use the service.
So, somehow.. my standing up for other peoples right to have an opinion means I'm the traitorous coward? Obviously anything you say at this point is complete BS. Enjoy your hypocrisy.
Wow..... you're a fucking moron. I mean, a really big fucking moron. How you do you actually function(or do you?) as a member of society? I'm pretty sure the founding fathers didn't have internet, cell phones, satellites, etc. So, yes. Shit is fucking different now. Pre-existing laws just have no way of taking into account modern technology. I keep having to repeat myself, but you and others don't seem to grasp it. How the laws are interpreted when it comes to modern technology isn't cut and dry. Your opinion, is your opinion. Other people's opinion, is there opinion. Those people have EVERY right to believe as they do, without assholes like you chewing them out. It isn't until you get a consensus on those opinions, that you have any standing on what should and should not be. So, take your sanctimonious attitude and shove it up your ass... You might also want to pull the stick out while you're at it. And for the record, I'm all for maintaining our supposed freedoms. I'm just tired of fucking pricks like you thinking your opinion is the only one that matters.
I'm not the fucking twat that can't understand that shit is fucking different now than it was back then. That the whole fucking world and the way we interact in it is fucking different. So, kindly do yourself a favor and get over yourself. People have different fucking opinions. It's a fact of fucking life. The liberties you personally believe in and how you view they should be interpreted are not set in fucking stone. As a society it is up to us to decide if/when/what should change. It's not only up to you and your fucking narrow mindedness.
I take issue with fucking idiots that can't stand other people have differing opinions on where the lines should be drawn between security and freedom. Because YES, some compromises had to be drawn. They were drawn from the very beginning. Also, they have to be examined and determined how they fit in a modern technically advanced world. Believe it or not, cell phones(or whatever other advancement comes up) didn't exist when they were first written. It's all fine and dandy to believe things should be one way and want them to be that way. It's another to believe someone else is inferior because they have a fucking difference of opinion.
Society and technology have changed drastically over a couple hundred years. It's not cut and dry, as much as you want to believe it is. Also, some loss of freedom is considered acceptable. Obviously, this wasn't lost on the founding fathers either.
The question comes down to where to draw the line. How should the laws be written/interpreted when taking into account modern society? I'd be one of these "bootlickers" because my opinion doesn't match up to yours (in principal, not in this particular case. Fuck stingrays and all the BS involved). You and others like you have the right to defend your freedoms as you see they should be implemented, just as much as those "bootlickers" have the right to defend their side.
Except, it is. "I couldn't care less" is a figurative statement. It's impossible to make the statement, without being able to care less. Thus, "I could care less", while being a bungled idiom is literally more correct. The original comment was meant as a thin joke about the nature of the idiom.
But, it's not that the music is unwanted... It's just easier to get it for free(to fairly cheap), via streaming services. I have most of my music as MP3 on my NAS at home. My roommate still just uses youtube because it's easier.
Believe it or not, it's quite easy for humans to make mistakes. That isn't to say it definitely was a mistake, but without proof it was intentional we should only take their word it wasn't. This also doesn't absolve them of the mistake. Regardless of intent, it's false advertising.
It's fine if you took my original statement as a direct offence, but it wasn't meant that way. Your argument was stupid, plain and simple. It wasn't supposed to be an attack on you, just your flawed argument. I previously explained part of why commercial cost more, further explanation is below. I didn't have the time or desire to deal with it further when I was at work. It came out at least partially wrong. However, that doesn't absolve you from being a complete fucking twat to me.
The simplest way to explain why you were wrong is that the insurance companies themselves charge more for commercial use. It sounds like a tautology, but it isn't. They base their rates on statistics. If the statistics say there is a higher risk of either more or larger payouts under commercial use, then there must actually be a higher risk. From what I can find, there is higher liability when a commercial entity is involved in an accident.
I really don't know what your fucking issue is. I mean, really. I don't. The only thing I can tell is you like to be a fucking asshole to random people on the internet. I did nothing, except state that your argument is idiotic and that I didn't have time to deal with it further. You were then free to continue on with your fucking life at that point, but felt that insulting me would be more beneficial to you. Enjoy your wasted excuse of a life.
Insurance companies should not (don't) have to cover ride-sharing under a personal policy. The drivers are for-hire drivers, in some capacity. Those drivers wouldn't spend as much time on the road, and would have fewer passengers in the car, if it weren't for their commercial activities. That means more chances of an accident, and a higher payout if/when there is one.They definitely have every right to require you pay extra, or not be covered when "on duty".
As for Uber providing coverage, I did read that at least one did offer coverage for anything the insurance company doesn't cover. My statement was more generalized to cover the industry as a whole. As far as ease of implementation goes, I think it's best for the company to cover the driver/passenger when on duty. The company has direct access to when the drivers are active and be able to provide coverage for those times. There would be no confusion, no extra work to determine whether the accident was covered or not.
The difference is the Uber/Lyft drivers are actually employed to do the driving. Realistically, the drivers wouldn't be giving those passengers a ride if they weren't being paid for it. From a personal standpoint, I don't have a problem with the driver not having commercial insurance. However, in that case the company needs to insure the driver when "on duty".
Just because Google didn't need to release a security update to 4.3 between its release and 4.4, doesn't mean they wouldn't have. Any speculation after the fact, is just that. Also, for what it's worth.. iOS updates have been turning older iPhones to shit for years. Sure, they support 3 versions of the OS out.. but usually the device can't handle the update. It comes back to design choice again. Google decided 24mo was enough to support the Galaxy Nexus. The hardware wasn't going to be able to keep up with the 4.4 OS update. It's a different approach, with usability in mind. You obviously have your own bias(who doesn't), and I'm just going to leave it at that.
The Galaxy Nexus received Jellybean(4.3), which came out 20 months after the phone was released. So no, they didn't abandon it after 18 months. Kitkat came out 2 years after the Galaxy Nexus. So, you'd at least have an argument if you said 2 years. However, hardware and software for mobile devices have been improving at such a pace that you shouldn't expect more than that right now. I don't disagree that updates in the early(prior to 2014) days of Android weren't handled well. It was a choice made by Google, allowing the manufacturer's more freedom to control the OS on their devices. A choice that they themselves have agreed didn't work out well. They have already taken steps both internally(by decoupling more from the OS and putting it in the playstore), and with the manufacturer's(by putting pressure on them for timely updates). Complaining about update support for devices, after Google started addressing the issue, is just idiotic.
But, it isn't Google holding things up. People that want updates relatively soon after Google releases them have the option to purchase Nexus devices. Purchasing manufacturer specific devices, means it's up to the manufacturer to provide the updates. There is absolutely no reason to blame Google for the manufacturer's problem. I'm not saying the arrangement is perfect. I'm just saying Google is doing their part, other parties are taking their time or flat out not bothering to update "older" devices.
This is complete BS. Google does not charge for the OS. They have newer versions of the OS, without the vulnerability. There is no reason for them to write a patch for outdated software, when there is a free updated version of the software available. They are not the ones that decide whether the manufacturer's release the newer versions for their phones. This is why Google has opted to move more functionality into components that can be updated via the play store. They've also been working with the manufacturer's to improve things. They made a choice to allow freedom with the OS. They realised there were flaws in that over the years and are taking steps to improve things for the users. Their design and licensing choices may of allowed the problem, but they're definitely not the ones responsible for lack of updates.
The outcriers are being overly sensitive about something that frankly doesn't matter. He wasn't actively attacking their faith with the tweet. At worst, it could be considered poor taste. You say his methods are a popular way to make fun of people, but I see it as a playful twist akin to changing a quote to fit a different theme. Things like that are done quite often, for positive reasons. People are getting upset, because they're too self-conscious about their religious beliefs. They think that because he doesn't feel the same way about religion, he must be attacking them. My original quibble was with the statement as fact that he did it deliberately to offend, when there is no evidence to back it up.
I believe he chose his wording as a play on the significance of the day, but in no way as a slight to Jesus(person, or idea) or to the religious community. Nothing about the message sounded like it was trying to slight the religious community. Since the content wasn't overtly offensive, and he claims it wasn't intended that way, there is no reason to assume it was supposed to be.

But, there would be plenty of sexualized body parts involved... just in the videos being watched.
It's not AS bad as the AC made it sound, but by no means is D&D on the same level as the Minecraft craze.

While I believe they overreacted, humans are easily capable of lying to get the results they want.
Oddly, in most cases "could care less" is actually more accurate. They at least took the time to comment.

Wow, what a fucking asshole. It's not my fault you've got your head up your ass. Get over yourself.
Wow... Ok, I can't handle that level of idiocy today. If you can't tell the difference between doing something as a job, or not.... I'm done.
