I absolutely would, but I don't get a say in it since my neighbor paid the Inter Street Provider extra for a service which allowed him to use some of my driveway to park on. The ISP promises that they'll build more driveways in my neighborhood sometime in the next 20 years or so in order to meet increased demand. In the meantime if I pay extra I can use my other neighbor's driveway.
As soon as any autonomous car advocates start talking about 'what actually happens'
Why yes! Just the other day a baby stroller magically appeared 2 feet in front of me while I was doing 90mph on the local autobahn, forcing me to make a snap decision between creamed baby or ramming the President's car which was carrying a gaggle of pregnant neurosurgeons to a peace conference that just happened to be in the other 5 lanes of the freeway and the shoulders and the sidewalks and the ditches, all at the same time (except for the lane the baby stroller was in, of course).
Fortunately being the superior human being that I am, I was not constrained by mere binary thinking and through a little ingenuity and physics, managed to lean my manly, manly physique across the vehicle just in time to ski past the baby and land safely on the other side. Not only that, but as it gracefully settled back onto four wheels, the breeze from the air displaced by my HMMWV (only the real ones are worthy of my leisure time) blew out a forest fire that was threatening to ignite a fireworks factory right next to a nuclear waste storage shed.
Here in Houston, TX we've been solving it by making the exits that back up be two lanes wide instead of just one. Now twice as many cars can sit and wait for the stoplight at the intersection immediately after the exit to turn green.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Fantasy writer Terry Pratchett was found dead in his home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an English icon.
Why only when they remember bad things? After all, if they are a Bad Person(TM) then they don't deserve to do the things they enjoy like listening to Beethoven.
Pretty much. The user double clicks the icon and answers "No" and doesn't get to see jiggly bits. So the user double clicks the icon again and says "Yes" this time.
The problem with your XKCD comic is that $5 wrenches only work on one person at a time, and they have to have already decided which person they're going to use the wrench on.
PRISM and other wide-scale NSA dragnets are specifically designed to be as wide a net as possible so that they can collect everyone's information all the time at a minimum cost, and then later decide what to do with it. As the cost to spy on you decreases to zero, so does your ability to be "not worth" spying on.

Slashdot 2001: Hey guys my boss wants me to sign a all your base are assigned to us agreement, what do?
It's hell. Hell, isn't it?
Debian Oldstable.
10% flat sales tax on everything (consumption tax, also applied at borders)
I'm fine with that, my imported megayacht never crosses the border. Here's $5 for the rubber dinghy I come ashore in.
Not all just one.

Let's see one of those auto-no-muss cars do that!

When you buy a house or flat in most countries you arn't allowed to absolutely anything you please with it.
Hey, there you go, appeal to everyone's undying love for homeowners associations to get your point across!
Except... it'd probably work better if they weren't so generally hated.
Sssh! You're not supposed to tell him he's on the GCHQ honeypot!
Sounds like my daily commute. WORKSFORME WONTFIX.
Speaking of a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer, what happens when Nell tells Barbie that her mommy's boyfriend is a bad man?
The timecube domain is for sale. No word on whether the buyer gets to keep the crazy though.
That's actually precisely why I stepped up to the plate this time.

Personally I recommend binoculars.
Entirely possible the other port is wired to the camera.

Comcast has reached the point where staying with the devil you know is worse than trying the devil you don't.
Already been done. The conservatives had a shitfit when their ads were blocked. http://www.bloomberg.com/polit...
Naturally that was that and this is this and it's totally different when it's their message being blocked by the carriers.
Meanwhile "the troll" asserts that an employer refusing to pay someone to do nothing is an "urban legend".
This bottle of snakeoilism will cure all your economic ills!

As the old saying ought to go:
