"When we have a car in which you can sleep until you arrive at your destination, we can call it "autopilot". Until then, just enable "adaptive cruise control" and be done with it."

If you have to be sitting there, hands on the wheel, fully alert, it is NOT Auto-driving, selfdriving, autopilot, autosteering,etc....
Corporations replaced the mob and suddenly the casino profits weren't allowed to fund the low hotel room rates, low meal prices, and low show prices. My parents would go to Vegas a lot in the 80's, and I started going in the 90s. During the 90s, the price of everything started skyrocketing in Vegas compared to the years before.
So yes, it destroyed Vegas (that whole attempt at trying to make Vegas a "Family" vacation spot was beyond retarded...)
Wonder if it's because college costs a fortune and the books for each class (usually 2-3 is some cases) cost a few hundred each in the US, where "Education" is supposedly imporant while many other countires that are more civilized and less greed-based have free education....
"BlackBerry... has invented a broad array of new technologies that cover everything from enhanced security and cryptographic techniques" and don;t forget "will turn your secrets over to the cops at the drop of a hat"
Too much security to deal with. Just look for the local news vans at the Black Friday sales gatherings for nice and newsworthy that hits folks close to home (shopping)
Cost of living is going up, cost of health care, often more important in senior years is up, Pensions are a thing of the past, 401Ks are getting destroyed by the stock market, and Social Security is on life support and probably won;t even be there ianymore in 10-20 years. Who wants to keep living at that point....

THe joke is so sad it's not funny anymore, it's a war against the power-mongers and the fascists that the human race is LOSING....

The fight against encryption is the fight to establish a police state of tyranny and the death of freedom.
The best way to reduce profits and insentive from drug sales? Legalize them, regulate them, and sell them like nicotine and alcohol.
Druglords can't compete with Walmart and thousands of liquor stores....

What the hell is "Assisted Steering" and why name the feature "Autosteer" when it does NOT in fact, automatically steer the car out of danger?
Granted the driver bears the bulk of the responsibility for being a dumb ass, but the car companies are getting out of hand with this stuff too...
Except none of that is true, there are multiple models and styles of cars to rent and buy and roads to build and pave a number of ways.
Nice try though, and I think your tinfoil hat is on too tight...
This may be one of the few times a car analogy is actually appropriate...
Vegas is great still, if you are rich.

Check your ToS, are you sure it's actually YOUR device? ;)
Yeah, but this is Slashdot, home of the Fatbeards who don;t have friends and who are estranged from their families, so they don't want "Social Media"
"Won't work. If a website gets aggressive, ad blocking is doomed to fail"
Or that website is doomed to fail.
Facebook isn't just Zuckerberg's baby anymore, it's gone corporate.
(The same thing that destroyed Vegas)
Doesn't matter, when a company stops supporting a product, they should lose the copyright over it and it should become public domain.
Sorry, don't care. If they no longer support the OS they should lose all copyright over it.
Well, if they aren't supporting it or selling it anymore, they should lose copyright protection over it then.
M$ doesn't sell or support XP anymore, release the source code and let the market create it's own security patches.
Win10 is a combination of Spyware and Adware masquerading as an Operating System...

Not attending, watching, or even vaguely interested in the Olympics. OIympic-related e-mails are deleted unread...

That is sad, usually it was the fat kids who were smart and good at math...

... GOOD, because who cares about the Olympics anyway? The less I hear/see about it the better... ...BAD, corporate Nazis suck.

He's a jock, Gymnatics is still a sport, and to be good, you need both talent and to put in a LOT of practice time
Yep, Cyberpunk Dystopia is beating Big Brother Dystopia, but not by much at the moment...
