it's common curtesy that if your'e bothering someone and they ask you to stop, to try to modify your behavior in a way that accomodates them but is no big shakes to you. that's all, common curtesy. that's why people call them glass holes when they ignore this.
there's a difference to me and many others between somebody surreptitiously filming you and somebody obviously filming you. it's like, yeah that's right I'm filming you and there's nothing you can do about it so eff off! In fact, I dare you to do something about it so I can record it and put it on you tube!
it's like there's one thing about surreptitiously checkign out a lady's boobs and coming right up to her and saying, hey nice boobs! do you get it now?
for me, a caucasian white-collar no drugs no dui etc, i'm like the most neutral person ever and i loathe them. when they're not trying to boost the benjamins by giving speeding and jaywalking tickets (yes, I saw them giving a jaywalking ticket a couple weeks ago!) they just want to get you in the system, not actually provide any help. drunk in public? no walk home. instead arrest, convict, misdemeanor, $$ for lawyer. avoid at all costs.
NSA brought gchq in on. This because the y couldn't do it themselves (5th amendment etc.). So they have gchq do the dirty work and then gchq shares the intelligence. Welcome to the new USA.
Presumably you're fielding questions. I would like some real world advice on two things: 1) how can I get through security as fast as possible? 2) how can I minimize my chances of getting my nuts grabbed?
I'm not going to throw a principled fit at the security checkpoint because I know it won't accomplish anything at all. I'll fight my battles elsewhere. I'll play the game in line, yessir, yes ma'am, whatever. Just get me through an don't grab my nuts! I have a plane to catch and want to leave with my dignity intact.
So any advice on playing the game? That would be nice.
Bs. Theresa. Difference between dictating someone's behavior and asking the to. Keep it down. "You guys mind keeping it down and waiting until you're outside to take photos? You're making my wife uncomfortable." A perfectly reasonable thing to do. Unless you're one of those adults who runs to get a mommy to resolve your differences for you.
You're telling me for realsies that you hold your phone at a 90 degree angle right in front of your face? Cuz most people hold their phones like they're holding a book. This would point the. Camera at peoples feet. I say it again, your either lying or your holding it wrong.
Ok let's flip this. You're In a bar, snapping photos with your friends. Some guys comes up and asks you to stop taking photos or to take them outside. How would you respond?
1) sorry about that, np.:puts phone in pocket: 2) no, not only will I keep taking photos, but now I will take photos of you and upload them to the internet!
If you choose number 2, then you are a douchebag and shouldn't be surprised when you get a punch in the mouth.
Cell phones these days are cameras. Looking it one is like looking in a camera's viewfinder. If you claim it's not offensive, I'm fine with that, but then using google glass is not offensive either.
Dude, if this is how you use a cell phone then you're holding it wrong. When most people look at a cell phone it is pointing at the ground in some fashion. Very few people look at their phones with the phone straight up. Unless they're taking photos.
the war on drugs is fine, but it needs to be a war on drug dealers specifically. anybody who has ever sold or given drugs to another person. brought a joint to a party? no freedom for you! just like forgiving the downloaders but going after the up loaders.
I will bet you one million dollars that nobody will ever hack glass to disable the recording light. because there is no recording light! how creepy is that, the device is so purposefully intended to invade the privacy of others that they didn't want a recording light to give it away.
does anybody actually know the laws around recording in public? Obv you can record celebrities because they do it on TMZ. and obv you can record with a security camera. but sometimes a tv show is recording at an airport or whatever and I walk by and there are signs "by passing by this sign you consent to being recorded." so obviously the right to record someone else is not absolute.
Can anybody add any actual information to this vacuum?
+1 the first comment to make sense. the bar owner should set a clear policy on how glass should be used, and the bartender should be the one to step in when someone is out of line. they shouldn't have let things happen in the first place.
true there will always be uber-glassholes that will go out of their way to violate people's privacy, but if there were a red light at all at least Goog would be acknowledging the problem instead of validating all the glass holes.
I lost my car now I do almost all my shopping except for groceries on amazon prime. saves a lot of money and here's how:
first, the prices are good. second, there's no casual / impulse purchases. So I need a dishrack? I buy a dishrack. I don't go to bed bath beyond to get a dishrack, then also pick up a paper towel holder, potholder, popcorn maker. that is money in the bank my friend! and I mean a real bank not the fake bitcoin bank.
While we're talking about bitcoins, let me give you an analogy that is how I think of these things. when I was a kid i wouldu buy and sell girlscout cookies. buy, sell, buy, sell. they only come out like twice a year. so when they came out I would buy plenty and stock up. as plenty as i could because my money was liminted. sometimes i would pinch a little from my moms purse to get a few extra boxes.
then i would wait a month or so when they were no longer avaialable, and resell them but at a higher price. see, when they're available then you can buy the same price anywhere so why pay more? but when they're unavaialbe you have to take the asking price or take a poop on the sidewalk.
as i learned more about people's preferences, i started to modulate my prices with the size of my inventory, so i wouldn't get stuck with bad product. cuz they go bad, see? so I had to be careful to juggle product. sometimes when I had old stuff I would go into different neightbordhoods to burn to old coocies off, because i would never see those people again.
so i was earning like 40-60% markup on average, sometimes 100% markup. what did I do with the money? I didn't have a bank account. so I took the money down to the comics shop where they weree buying and selling beenie babies. i would buy the safest investments possible, you know just the regular bear nothing fancy. cuz i knew when I made it home I could take them back to cash them in later.
so what happens? I end up with a room full of beenie babies. which is kind of wierd, right? so my sister comes in, and starts tearing the tags off. which I'm like NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! because that destroys the value, right? so now I have to make a new plan.
i went back to the comics shop, only this time instead of going in the day, I went at night. once there I took all my beenie babies and placed them in a jar outside. coming back the next day, I found that they were gone. plan foiled! went back the following week, but the store had closed. a week later, the bottom fell out of the beenie babie market. now I'm seriously out of money.
long story short, you gotta be careful when entrusting your money to a non-cash instrument.

-1 disagree. it's the first thing anybody has said on this thread. go for the pushers. put them in jail. get the users treatment.

Doesn't matter. I bet gchq and NSA are super stoked about google glass.

Ask an older person about what police used to be like sometime.
i don't get it because I don't know. what would an older person say?

+1 most insightful comment so far.
how can you magically tell it's recording when there's no recording light? are you psychic?

so if I am arrogant and violent I get more gold? how come you didn't tell me that before, you jerk!
either that or your dong.
Susan Sarandon supposedly hated Rocky Horror and regretted ever appearing in it. Shall we tear down all the copies of that?
yes please. why would people sing and dance about such topics?
