This would have been a valid point if anything was actually being thought. A proper answer (or a link to such) would not only teach the person who is asking, but also all the people that comes to the thread later in search of the same answer.
The solution for Google would be to block Free for a few days, as The Pirate Bay did to another ISP a few years back. That would surely make them
reconsider...
I really hate this one. Few things are as annoying as searching for some difficult-to-search topic, find a forum link on the top search result with a relevant topic, and then find that Imgtfy link to just another Google search. Typically when this happens, the result of the next search is as little informative as the link itself. The really annoying part is that you know that whoever posted the link is likely to know the answer and could have stated it in a few words or have provided a relevant link instead of being a douche.
Can you afford real toys? Do you have time for your child?
If the answer to any of those questions is 'yes', then ditch that Android, and do something real with your child.
So, companies had their rights elevated to the rights of people.. But what would happen if people had their rights elevated to the rights of companies?
I mean, manslaughter -> pay $4.5 billion, and walk free.
This is the single most annoying thing with Ubuntu today (IMHO). Some time back an update of GRUB completely crashed my system (including Windows that was residing on another physical drive). This was just the most severe case though, I've had other things braking when upgrading as well, like video drivers, audio configurations (causing audio delay), etc., and the result is that I'm always afraid when I run the updates on Ubuntu, wandering what will break. In fact I've become reluctant to run the updates in general.
Are there any planes to improve on this lack of "upgrade stability"?
2. Deliver! Someone might rather wait the 3 days for Netflix delivery of things that can't be streamed, but if you can get it there in 30 minutes or less you're in great competitive shape.
For delivery you can cooperate with a local fast food / catering restaurant, and let them provide "Film Deals" (eg. pizza + movie) in cooperation with your rental store. This could also provide you with new customers, not to mention that it's convenient.
I see there are a lot of suggestions about PHP-based forums, but out of curiosity, are there any forums that would match the OP's requirements but run on the JVM?
How does something like that hold up in court if the proof is that "our magic computer said it was him, therefore he must be guilty"?
If it doesn't hold up in court, then it's mostly useless...
Oh.. Here you make A LOT of claims without citing credible sources (or any sources for that matter)...
Andriod would not be useful if it was forced to use X. [citation needed]
Sorry, no, network transperancy is not an important feature anymore. Probalby implemented by.001% of regular users. [citation needed]
An no, nobody cares if it's tehnically inferior. It's hundreds of times easier to implment and use. [citation needed]
Modern toolkits pretty much ignore 95% of X's built in features [citation needed]
Now stop. - Yes you, stop. I know you're about to type up a 10 paragraph screed about how you ported X ap to obscure platform Y, or remotely managed 10,000 servers with facial twitches and GTK.
Actually, that was not what I was about to type, but still:
Your use case does not represent the vast majority of computer users. It doesn't even represent a full fraction of a percent.[citation needed]
When I read through the PDF I started to suspect that these "bugs" must have been put there on purpose. The most convincing slide (IMHO) that supports this is the slide about the Web UI session vulnerability.
* Uses a Session-ID,
called UID: the hex
representation of a
32Bit value
* We only need to test
11 Bit of the UID in
order to gain access
* We can log in with a
simple Perl script
There are only two differences between communism and capitalism:
1. which small group gets to make the decisions
2. which small group (same as in #1) is controlling the surveillance.
In communism, it's government/political leaders. In capitalism, it is the upper corporate echelon.
In the extreme case, when this "upper corporate echelon" gets powerful enough to pass laws, and challenge the elected government, they effectively become a part of the country's political leadership, and thus we are back to communism.
Allowed by whom?
I think it could have survived if it wasn't dependent upon data or services from parties with conflicting interests. I believe so, because it doesn't sound like they were braking the law...

You are confusing "Liberal" for "Socialist". Not at all the same thing!

Even if there is no rootkit; how will they store your credit card info? They don't have a particularly good history with that either.

Low level systems would prepare the vehicle as best as possible for the crash to maximize the chances the occupants survive.
They can't sue you if they're dead...

Who would leave such a door open by mistake?
No. All it requires is to know what it is, and what it's used for. Anyone capable of listening in to these signals would know the answer to both.
I'm using KDE. And while it's good, it's far from perfect.
Agreed. But, there is also configuration. Linux has nothing that compares to Windows' control panel.
Thank you. This has to be one of the most interesting articles I've read in a long time. I wish I had mod points for you.
You forgot to add: For now...
