If the commentary is accurate, then we can kiss goodbye to a large chunk of encryption in use today. I wonder how we will adapt.
Your interpretation of the commentary is inaccurate. You can kiss yourself goodnight and know your WoW account will still be yours when you wake-up, child.
So you'd also be happy with weekly searches of your home to detect and punish any broken rules?
You're blowing it out of proportion. What I do at home doesn't endanger anyone. When I'm in a metal cage going 100km/h, yes, there's danger to everyone around me. Sorry but I stopped reading there. You're shit at arguing.
I've heard that argument a lot. But nobody's shown any study proving it. The danger is from the road raging impatient folks behind said slow driver. We all have somewhere to go. So let's all get there safely.
I agree with you. Distracted driving is a huge problem. Much worse than speeding by magnitudes of order. For me it's more about the reckless disregard of rules and of others on the road some people seem to have.
...would you also support the ability of law enforcement to require the same devices so they could ticket everyone who speeds?
Happy? And also yes to your paragraph after my game of favorites comment. I broke the rule, I get punished. So do you, so does everyone else. Is that not fair? Wahhhhhh
I'm sorry you're "flabbergasted". Again. I have no issue with rules being enforced. People obviously can't be trusted to follow them, and they are put there for everyone's safety. We can start with first offenders.
Do I agree to the abuse of such a system? No. I agree to punishing the assholes who put yours, mine and everyone else's lives in jeopardy on the roads every time they get behind the wheel.
I understand such a device implies some hard technical problems. I'd be fine with traffic cameras just about everywhere instead, but regardless, I will always be for a push that punishes reckless drivers. Spin it into whatever conspiracy you want. I give about this many fucks. (See how much space I left there? Yeah I don't care at all.) If you learn to think in terms of not everything being a conspiracy, your life would vastly improve.
I'm glad you fight for what you believe. Stop pointing fingers and name calling. Try taking action instead if this shit means so much to you. Shouting at people trolling you on the internet is not taking action.
I don't believe in any of that stuff. I don't believe people will stand up against this, nor do I care. I want nothing to do with it and will continue to do so from humble abode out in the woods. And you, Mr. Conspiracy, are not welcome on my lawn.
What? When? I would absolutely LOVE for people in power to be accountable for their actions! If only there wasn't this thing called... money. Making an example of one every now and then to please the public is not enough. We all play by the same rules or we don't play at all.
It's about the gameplay and the storyline. When companies sacrifice either of those for a "OH MY GOD LOOK AT HOW NICE AND SHINY MY GAME IS!!!1111....." the game usually sucks. There are very few exceptions to this rule.
Eventually someone or some group will make it so bad that a very large chunk of the world's population ends up in the same situation as the countries you've used as examples. After this is all done with, those left will either be a part of that group or fail to realize that those reasons were in fact WHY they got there in the first place, because it will be flagged as some other reason, and most people can't care enough to believe otherwise once told. Those who do will likely be silenced. Worse even, they'll likely be under a leader who claims that they are OK because of him, and if they don't want to end up like the rest of the world, should follow his lead without question.
It's bleak, but I don't have much confidence in humanity to begin with. Too many laypeople just accept things the way they are and assume those in power must know what they're doing (or wouldn't dare question those in power in some cases, in fear of their own and their and family's lives). Not to even mention how divided we are.
Although the name implies it, daylight saving time does not actually make the day longer.
Hah! Well I guess somebody better tell Mr Sun he can get back to his normal orbit* speed around our Earth during the winter time!

I can sympathize with wanting an extra hour of daylight in the evenings, but as soon as you get more than about 45 degrees away from the equator or so, the sun is already rising late enough as it is in the winter months, and in practice, one wouldn't be able to enjoy the extra hour of daylight at the end of the day in the winter either, because they would probably be at work until sunset anyways.
No. That's not why. I don't get to enjoy my extra hour of sunlight because I have to shovel all that goddamn snow!!
Oh...boy! It's a giant three ring circus of non-meritocratic and shitty people abusing what some people thought was a good idea, and ruining everything all the way down.
And the reason why I have absolutely no hope in humanity. There will always be *those* people, and civilizations will fall every single time because of them. Just... this time we have nukes.

Get over yourself, seriously.
Signed,
Me.
Yes. Because otherwise it's a game of favorites. Doesn't take a hard look to see that either.
I'm saying you're overreacting. Go for a walk or something.
At face value it just sounds like someone who's butthurt.
*Dig that hole. Forget the sun.*
*When at last the work is done, don't sit down, it's time to dig another one.*

What about putting it on the arm that... you know... you do yourself with?
Now THERE'S a situation where everybody wins!
Not fit enough, eat too much red meat, drive too fast....sucks to be you.
Actually I'm totally for that last one. Speed limits aren't suggestions. Bout time the assholes putting the rest of us in danger got their due.
What? When? I would absolutely LOVE for people in power to be accountable for their actions! If only there wasn't this thing called... money.
Making an example of one every now and then to please the public is not enough. We all play by the same rules or we don't play at all.
This is achievable on the Nintendo classics. I'm not sure where your complaint comes from. At least wait until this one is released.
It's not about the graphics.
It's about the gameplay and the storyline. When companies sacrifice either of those for a "OH MY GOD LOOK AT HOW NICE AND SHINY MY GAME IS!!!1111....." the game usually sucks. There are very few exceptions to this rule.
It won't.

Do you have a billion dollars of funding to start with?
Hahaha funny you'd say that. I recently bought a house and one of the conditions was to get their snowblower with the purchase. Bring on the snow!!

One person's constructive criticism is another's micro-aggression....
Seriously though, fuck whatever "micro-aggression" is. Smells like bubble wrap to me and it just makes me want to pop it.
