What you seem to be hankering for is a government that manages nothing.
If it manages anything then census data is needed. For things like which state/province should we send road money to. You kinda want to use that money where it is most needed, so you might want some of that census information on hand.
Ahh yes, the whole my assumptions trumps everyone else's facts because I'm the think for myself guy.
We need to ignore people who went to school for climatology, because they are ALL out to lie to us./sarc
How about this, you show me instances where a scientist has lied for personal gain, and I will compile a list of when big business has lied for ceo/stockholder gain. Who ever has the biggest list wins.
If it is restarting a download, either manually or automatically, it restarts the download counter as it checks the files already downloaded and compares them to the source. If the file is available and matches, then it goes on to the next one.. This is as designed. It means you don't actually have to re-download the files you already have.
The only time I have ever had an issue with a game was when some developer had a multi gigabyte file that needed to be updated. Patches required downloading almost the entire package again.
In Europe you can jump on some form of mass transit or another, in the US your only option would be a taxi, which will probably cost you more then the rest of your night out. (If your area is even serviced by taxis)
Ohh, and one alcoholic beverage might impact you to a certain extent. But if we are to get rid of everything that impacts you, then you need to leave your kids, your cell, and your significant other at home. Ohh and keep your radio off, and heaven help you if I see you take your eyes off the road to touch your GPS.
Unless you are in favor of all of those measures as well, then you are a hypocrite.
This has nothing to do with your personal tolerance. Consuming one alcoholic beverage does not make a person an unsafe driver, therefore making the limit so low that consuming one beverage is illegal is wrong.
Drunk driving should be based upon how impacted you are by the alcohol, not how much you've consumed.
Really, I find it interesting that all of the "IT folks" that I know have all disparaged the metro interface. Even the ones that like it, will voice support for the ones who dont, after all there was no reason to remove features.
Perhaps you don't actually have to work with any customers that know 0 about computers. I do. I have customers that could not tell you what version of windows they use. Hell when I try to use the start button to narrow it down, is it a blue circle or a green oval, they get confused. I do NOT need another interface to hold hands though. I do NOT want to waste the time teaching all of my users how to do something that they have been doing for 15 years.
I hate windows 8 not because I have to get used to it, but because I have to help every single one of my customers get used to it. That is the major issue. This issue would not have existed if they had left the option to boot to desktop, and left the windows orb in the corner.
Now get off of your high horse please. Ohh and the reason you posted anon is obvious. You know you are wrong and are trying to avoid any negative moderation.
I go to Bestbuy often enough. I walk through the isles and try to find what I need that isn't 40 dollars more then online. I am perfectly willing to pay more for the in store I want now experience. I am not willing to pay 40 more then what it costs online. Bring that number to 10 or 15 dollars over online price and I will go home with it.
Really? I love the self checkout. It tends to be a whole heck of a lot faster as long as you are paying with plastic. Paying with cash it can be finicky.
Isn't Google Play a walled garden, just with a lower wall.
The store may be a walled garden, typically the devices allow you to install from other sources though. Kinda like having a gate in that walled garden, that the user can invite someone in at any time.
Part of the problem is that they are not approachable at this point. Many many people do not trust the police, because they often misconstrue or even lie about what they witnessed. This I think would keep them honest, and in fact probably make them more approachable.
It would be easy enough to say that one of the rules would be any video not needed for a prosecution be immediately erased. Again, add some frequent auditing.

I have yet to find anyone that actually enjoys the metro screen. Who actually benefits from this over the traditional star menu?
You've found them to be pretty balanced?
Try foxnewslies.net
Now don't get me wrong they all lie, fox news is head and shoulders above the rest in that department though.
It is at least as scientific as having the oil companies do ecology reports.

If that was the only source I sure would.
Going outside and verifying it for myself would certainly work though.

What if I post a video of me watching a movie? It's not about the movie.. it's about me watching the movie.
You must be thinking of MST3K.
You know the show where they sit there and mock a movie, while showing you the entire movie. Analogy fail.
I don't want to burn their papers, I want those intact.
Shoot, how are we to mock the idiots if we destroy evidence of the idiocy.
Papers are burned because they contain truths that someone wants to hide, not because they contain the rambling of idiots.
Somebody missed the reference...

A single beer could put someone over .02
Because machines made by man aren't perfect. You can be completely free of alcohol and blow a 0.01.
So basically you're suggesting we give police carte blanche to arrest any driver at any time.
Annnh, they already have it. STOP RESISTING!! You are under arrest for resisting arrest.

Yes, that would be great until people who believe things contrary to science were elected to the board that writes the science books.
So you do not think it is beyond the realm of possibility that it was a trumped up charge?

Judging a person based upon a joke?
Can we please make sure i kan reed never reproduces, we don't want them to pass on a complete lack of a sense of humor.
Google for it. Most hospitals discharge you within a day or two, and tell you to take it easy for a week or two. (Assuming a typical, healthy birth)
Tin hatter with no regard for spelling or grammar. Awesome.
