Just because Google play blocked the app didn't mean it wasn't available. F-Droid App store always had the app ready to load. I've been using it nonstop for last few years.
Google Play is just 1 of many app stores.... people don't always realize that.
Agreed for the term paper or research project. But today's kids are given daily homework that requires internet access. My kids aren't taught in class. The teacher assigns the online reading for them as homework. If a kid can't get to the library before it closes (i.e. wait for parent to get home to drive them), then they are shit outta luck.
In the teacher's defense, what they teach and how they teach is mandated by the district. Today's teachers just aren't given the same flexibility that teachers had back in my day. Everything is 'standardized' now, including the schoolwork which is approved by the district.... and remember the district is 'sold' the curriculum by private companies who like putting stuff online because it's cheaper for them.
I keep telling people that the US got to the Moon with people taught in a classroom with books, chalkboard, and pencil/paper. Ipads are NOT a necessity for learning no matter how hard Apple tells you that they are.
Not the same. In 1987, we would read the books or the mimeographed material, write out the papers on actual paper, and then could go into the 'media lab' at school to type it up on their typewriters. Today, the material is online and the kid must have online access just to read the needed material. Libraries close and there is usually a line for the limited computers they have (at least at my library). Neighbors don't run internet cafe's and assuming a kid can go tot he neighbor's house every day after school to use their PC is just ridiculous. What if the neighbor is on vacation, out to dinner, or just sick of your kid coming over??
Hell, we bought a car 8 years ago that had a push in slot for an ipod... the old ipods. Now that the new ones have the smaller plugs (old one broke after many years of use), the car's interface is useless. I see the future coming.... and I'll watch it from my 68 Camaro.
They can protest the uneven playing field.... but attacking uber drivers just because they are taking a chunk of the customer base is way off line.... Jimmy Hoffa would be proud.
Thing is, a cop can take you in for any reason for something like 24-48 hours even without a formal charge. You will be taken in handcuffs, you will be fingerprinted, you will get a DNA swab taken, you will be strip-searched, you will be forced to spread your cheeks and cough in front of a cop... then they let you go after 24 hours with no charges and a have a nice day. All that just because you pissed off a cop and there's no legal recourse.
You may beat the wrap, but you won't beat the ride. All the humiliation is just a bonus for them to 'get ya' because you didn't bow down in a humble enough fashion.
Just like Hulu, in a concession to content providers who are paranoid that someone from Qatar might use VPN to watch Family Guy if Hulu didn't pay for the licensing rights.
Netflix is the same. People from banned countries use VPN to make it seem they are in the US to watch content.
Solution is simply to get 10 people to buy in on a small hosted server in the US and run your own proxy. Small enough to avoid detection and people can still watch Family guy
You know you can request Credit cards and IDs without the RFID chip in it. I do this all the time with Visa and AMEX. I request cards without the Chip.... problem solved.
Sure, instead of fully electric, where cars can charge off of the current grid (with the right outlet installed), let's invest is a fully proprietary fuel source.

Ditto. Getting the kids used to giving up privacy for some online tools is not a good way to start them off.
So you need an iPhone to run it? They don't have an iphone if they can't afford a $50 PC....

Maybe I'll start a service to 'de-crapify' a car just like how we currently de-crapify New Laptops.
Soon Comcast customers will blow through their data caps is 1/10th the time.

I thought this was sarcasm until I read your next statement.
Yours must be one of the accounts that goes for $1.40.

Palemoon is branched off of Mozilla. I use it and it works well.
There are lots of options out there... you don't really need to stick with the Firefox vs chrome vs opera arguements.
Cops can strip search you without probable cause.... they can strip search you for even the most minor of offensives, even if the offense is made-up.

No matter how much training, security measures, or mail filtering......
You can't fix stupid.
With this we can blow through our 2GB wifi data limits in a fraction of the time.
Well that's the point. He's basically saying "It's no skin of our backs" to keep it supported, so he does.
I think that's kinda awesome where 1 guy says he still need it supported and it stays.

Can I drink with you?
You mean "script kiddies" who are desperate for attention.

... well almost anyway. This was the funniest thing I read this morning and that includes my daily romp through the funnies.
What is this 'work-life balance' to which you refer?
