  1. The point should be, this isn't school rules, this is government mandated LAW....

  2. Re:How surprising,... on Suicide Rates Are Up 30 Percent Since 1999, CDC Says (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Sad but true....

  3. "In a preliminary report on the crash, the National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday that emergency braking is not enabled while Uber's cars are under computer control"

    Sue them out of existence. That is totally ridiculous. They disabled a safety system designed to fulfill one of the most important duties of a driver...

  4. Partially. Cops propensity to shoot first and ask questions later is just as much of a problem however.

  5. Re: Another one bites the dust... on Supreme Court Strikes Down Federal Law Prohibiting Sports Gambling (espn.com) · · Score: 1

    Legalize drugs, then regulate and tax them just like alcohol and tobacco.

    Columbian Druglords have nothing on big corporations...

  6. Yet another reason on Ticketmaster Hopes To Speed Up Event Access By Scanning Your Face (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Ticketmaster is evil....

  7. It only matters to Bill if he can claim it as a tax-write for "charitable" donations...

  8. What OS? If it isn't supported by M$ anymore, it should be made public domain anyway

  9. But what "good" parenting?
        Forcing the children to go to church and indoctrinating them into the various religious cults out there ? (Christianity, Islam, etc.)
        Spare the rod and spoil the child ?
        Living wages and decent hours so parents have the time and energy to spend with their kids and actually raise them ?

  10. I'd think the over-pricing of the Apple iPhones would be enough to curb addicts....

  11. Just become some people are too stupid/lazy/weak that they can't pull their noses away from their phones that's Apple/Samsung's fault?

    What the fuck is wrong with people that they believe this shit?

  12. When answering those types of "Secret Questions" at sites you actually use and want security, don;t give the "real" answer.

    They ask "Model of first car?", you answer "R3dw!n@$"
    etc
    Mother's maiden name? 0129834765
    etc

  13. Re:Lawsuit in 3... 2... 1... on President Trump Slams Amazon For 'Causing Tremendous Loss To the United States' (cnet.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Trump is known as a bully, not as an intelligent man. Amazon could handle this idiot just fine.

  14. Re:and the logical followup on YouTube Will 'Frustrate' Some Users With Ads So They Pay for Music (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Used music stores are great for low cost CDs you can rip, put away, and often never touch again unless you need to re-rip for whatever reason

  15. Re:Come on, who would have no hit her? on Self-Driving Uber Car Kills Arizona Woman in First Fatal Crash Involving Pedestrian (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Plus, if the car can't handle someone crossing the road, even if they aren't crossing at the "designated" location, then that system has NO business on the road.

  16. Yes, and based on driving 30 miles to and then from work each day, plus other driving, you have to be extra careful because most people are poor drivers

  17. " autonomous cars need to drive more like humans"

    You mean poorly and distractedly? ;)

  18. Re:Come on, who would have no hit her? on Self-Driving Uber Car Kills Arizona Woman in First Fatal Crash Involving Pedestrian (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Looks like the self-driving car is no better than a human driven car, even with a human behind the wheel "at the ready"...

  19. Re:"harsh interrogation technique" on Trump's Pick for New CIA Director Is Career Spymaster (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually no, Hillary got more people votes, but the electoral college nonsense gave us Trump

  20. Re:New Zealand? on Larry Page's Flying Taxis, Now Exiting Stealth Mode (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    They had to fly in to pick up Frodo and Sam though :)

  21. Re:"harsh interrogation technique" on Trump's Pick for New CIA Director Is Career Spymaster (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    No, the Democrats putting Hillary on the ballot is why we have Trump.

  22. Re:New Zealand? on Larry Page's Flying Taxis, Now Exiting Stealth Mode (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    What about the giant eagles?

  23. A red circle with a slash through it...

  24. YouTube is my big research tools for games. A few let's plays let me see if I'll think the game is worth it without spending a dime.

    If the "player" presenting the video is annoying, I mute it and just watch.

    Most of the time the player has a good sense of what to show and often the right ones will give decent insight on how the various sub-systems of the game work.

    For books and movies and the like, I turn to people I know and/or like for tips and advice. Podcasts where the hosts have had a good track record with liking the things I like or at least who have presented a good feel for describing something without spoiling it.

  25. Re:Embrace, Extend, Extinguish on Amazon Launches a Low-Cost Version of Prime For Medicaid Recipients (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Most of the time they are pretty fast with the shipping like that

    We've had a few times where Walmart took a week longer than that on shipping
