I ranted a couple of years back that individual businesses should set up open WIFI bases to get public appreciation and build a customer base. As far as i know my thoughts were completely ignored. I will admit that Microsoft knows how to make money and they have now taken the idea quite a bit further. For example my home is only 1,000 feet from US Hwy 1, Sure at least 100K cars pass near by during the day as well as all the people living near by. An out like Home Depot which is on US 1 here would have huge advantage and could have a Home Depot ad displayed whenever someone uses their WIFI channels.
The FRANKENTRUMP monster declares that there is no global warming and that the dead trees are a conspiracy brought on by liberals and evil Hillary actually paid many tree to die just to embarrass Trumpenstein.
Sure, we have a great way to deal with coal waste. We use human lungs to capture the soot. That also helps us reduce our population with the unusal numbers of cancers and heart diseases caused by burning coal. Then we truck coal ash into the countryside and toss it in pits causing water pollution that also helps end those pesky human lives.
I am not so certain that humanity can survive warming and rising seas. For example we have numerous nuclear reactors located on beaches that simply can not be plowed down and cleaned up. The nuclear contamination alone might exterminate the seas. Then we have the sad fact that many coastal cities have environmental hazards that can not be removed or mediated in any way. Even the stunning number of human graves would pose a disaster for our oceans. I would imagine that Miami Fl. has several million graves alone. Miami is very prone to flooding. Further because our insurance companies and banks are economically tied together as property is lost the value of the mortgages is lost as well and that will take down the entire banking system. We already have huge crop issues due to flooding, drought, fire storms, wind storms and more that is disrupting quite a bit of agriculture and horticulture. Food could become excessively expensive. The list goes on. Other species are rapidly vanishing. Humans will probably be just another vanished, animal species.
That racial nonsense needs to be in the trash can. If anything we should be seeking out the best students in Asian Universities and paying them to immigrate into the US. Those guys can be remarkable scholars as can scholars from Pakistan and India. Bright people are our future and we need to get as many as we possibly can just to survive in this troubled world.
The US has a strong partnership with england and this canon nonsense will effectively prevent the Royal Navy from being of meaningful aid if a serious war breaks out. The very reason that the British Navy has not had to use missiles may very well be that other nations knew that British war ships carried missiles. I'm certain that the US would prefer that England fields a very, very strong Navy.
There is a point at which insanity and ignorance become the same thing. We have a president who is nuts with a knowledge base that is so screwed up that he can not possibly function.
Since Trump already is installing a climate change denier as head of the EPA and wants more smoke stack pollution to be legal we can all assume that pollution and global warming will become amplified rather than resisted. A nation that elects such trash deserves what is going to happen to it.
The orange freak must not be made a martyr. Please, nobody shoot at him. But that does not mean we can not use every combination of legal tactics to humiliate him and make him turn tail and run. Let the million man marches begin. Back in the day Nixon was having panic attacks due to the large numbers of protesters that he imagined might storm the white house. Also keep in mind that Trump is the greatest gift to comedians imaginable. Expect to see him lampooned daily and humiliated beyond anything that has ever gone on before. And why not start jailing, long term, those who shout racial insults out of cars and label it a hate crime so that they stay in prison for long periods of time? In a polite and symbolic way i am saying let's stomp the guts out of right wing trash.
If your phone has micro bits of cocaine or heroin on it is it enough to get a conviction? After all, it is possession. And if your child goes to school and micro amounts of dope can be found on their skin or clothing should the home be raided? This technology just might create some serious social discomfort. What's a criminal to do ?
You know sex is only dirty when the other guy does it. By what magical use of logic does a license for 38 machines equal a license for an unlimited number of machines? Now what would happen to you or me if we purchased 38 copies of Windows 10 and decided to send out 10,000 copies? This is why it is time to admit that the absurd notion that we are all equal before the law is identified as 100% bullshit.
No deals can be made with TRUMPENSTEIN. He never honors his deals. He will betray. The TRUMPASTOPHY is upon us. Fight back in every way that you can. Ask nothing of the monster and humiliate him in every way at every opportunity. Organize a TRUMPENSTEIN comic book competition among the tech and nerd communities. Make TRUMPENSTEIN movies. Impeach the creep before he takes office. Come on people. Bloom ! Be all that you can be ! Be creative and join the good fight. Maybe even TRUMPENSTEIN porn movie showing the rape of the 13 year old girl by the orange duck. And label that orange pumpkin TRUMPENSTEIN with a blond wig on it ! Make note that the media is hiding the huge protests breaking out all over America.
Go low tech. A handful of pebbles in the hub caps will make enough noise to warm people. I ride a very quiet bicycle. When people are on a path in front of me they tend to have ear buds and are either chatting dribble on their cells phones or oblivious due to music blasting in their ears. Most car horns will not even get trough to them. Noise is easy to make. Drill a hole or to in the muffler if you must.
Human drivers won't improve much at all. Autonomous cars will improve continuously and there is no end to how much they can be improved. Tesla is already a very safe car and we can expect them to get better and better every year. Frankly we will soon get to the point where human input to a vehicle will probably be illegal. As usual this means vast, social change. For example motorcycles may have no place to exist as a computer can plan safe situations that would cause the driver of a motorcycle to freak out and crash. Passengers in autonomous cars may have great issues with fear as these cars will be capable of coming very close to other vehicles without wrecking. Imagine hundreds of arrows coming from all directions but each error being able to avoid the other by one inch. Now imagine an intersection in which cars only need to avoid T boning you by one inch.
You missed the point. China buys large numbers of cars made in the US. The Chinese market is so large that if the US is restricted we will suffer loss of jobs as well as income. Apparently I phones are also popular products that we export to China. China has enormous economic power these days. If we get into a disagreement over tariffs the chances are that China will win.
Yes our technology is much more important than even our lives as it can persist. But socially we are doing next to nothing to prepare for advanced technology . As jobs continue to vanish due to advanced technology and the masses are stressed more and more, and particularly with Luddites in control of the US government, we may see laws that banish a great deal of technology or even complete social disorder such that people live more like rats who forage for scraps. And we also face the spectacle of blaming some minority for our woes. The ignorant will always want to place blame on a minority when times are hard. In history the Jews or the black folks are the typical victims of that kind of thought. As employment becomes ever more of an issue I suspect we will hear people claiming it was the Jews who are responsible and others claiming that black folks and Latino people have wrecked the economy. The racist creeps will come out of the woodwork as the masses are stressed.
So here we are with radical weather changes and a president elect that appoints a climate change denier to lead the EPA. They just can't live in the real world but they are killing off innocent people who do have normal minds and beliefs. For Halloween do not have a pumpkin. Make a TRUMPKIN. The orange face is just right and a bit of yellow straw or a blond wig will match his hideous hair. Use everything, everyday, that you possibly can to bring down Donald Trump. Try not to break any laws but create as much havoc as you can, amplify social unrest. Do what it takes to save our nation from the orange TRUMPENSTEIN.
Got a date? Give the test before you get busy ! Make the device cheap and available everywhere. And we can have easy testing in public schools and in many other places and situations as well. Jails and prisons could use this to be certain that cell mates do not contaminate each other.
The three men need to be pardoned. They are American heroes who put the right of the people to know above all else. If one does not "know" then one's vote has no meaning or value.
Public reactions to Trump may hound him out of the presidency even before he takes the oath of office. First all loyal Americans must avoid using any Trump owned properties such as golf courses or hotels. Next we will want to investigate in persistent, unending, close inspection of any individual involved with Trump including their family members. After all, money gets moved around through family members, relatives and supporters so getting into their lives with a magnifying glass is important. Total stonewalling and obstruction as well as massive marches on Washington sufficient to shut down the city should be frequent. We can make this jerk so miserable that he quites before he begins. And that rape trial for the 13 year old that he is accused of raping should be very, very public as well. Some of the women he groped may well bring forward criminal charges as well. A sled ride to hell awaits Trump. Can we impeach before he takes the oath?
Between a constant threat of impeachment, civil suits and criminal charges as well as massive protests from every direction Trump will have trouble finding enough time to pick his nose much less lead the nation. The republicans liked obstruction tactics. Let's see how they like obstruction multiplied by 1,000. The decent people in America will not tolerate trump or his ilk at all.
I suggest that every person in the nation that is not a right wing lunatic simply fight back. Snub them, fire them. Make their personal lives a living hell as long as you don't break the law. Drive their kids off of sports teams. Put temptation in their paths and get them on film in their wicked deeds. Use every tactic that the right has ever used but put that tactic on steroids. How many investigations can democratic congress people launch on the Trump administration. Impeach Trump before he takes the oath of office. Honk your car horns every time you pass a republican's home. Cancel business contracts and starve them out. Do not hire relatives of the right wingers. Beat this scum into the dirt !
How many investors will be investing in nations that have a sane leadership rather than a Trump led US? Crash and burn may well be the very real and harsh consequence of a Trump led government. This horrid situation is caused by allowing our young to receive really lousy educations. We need to be much more demanding in what we expect from our school students.
Many people feel that the Earth is like a life form that self corrects and balances. If there is any reality to that I wonder if man made warming could actually trigger an ice age as a response.

Microsoft's Silver Light is compulsory to run NetFlix on Linux. If there is any good will sought-after, Microsoft should end that situation.
