what they are asking for is the ability to bitch-slap developers after the fact who create apps that are designed for use while driving yet lead to distractions
Like the ads that pop up on the MapQuest app during navigation. (Yes, yes, I know I'm the only one that uses it.)
OK. They are really stretching the word "free" here. Free = $300 + greedily scooping up your data with this service now or in the future? No, that's far from free.
The next test for guilt in "hackers" might be that they float
- What makes you think she's a witch?
- She turned me into a newt!
- A newt?
- I got better.
- Burn her anyway!
- Quiet! Quiet!
- There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
- Are there? What are they? Tell us. - Do they hurt?
- Tell me, what do you do with witches?
- Burn them!
- And what do you burn, apart from witches?
- More witches! - Wood!
- So why do witches burn?
- 'Cause they're made of wood? - Good!
- So, how do we tell if she is made of wood?
- Build a bridge out of her.
- Ah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?
- Oh, yeah.
- Does wood sink in water?
- No, it floats. - Throw her into the pond!
- What also floats in water?
- Bread. - Apples.
- Very small rocks. - Cider! Great gravy.
- Cherries. Mud. - Churches! Churches!
- Lead! Lead!
The cable countries have figured out the great truth of America: If you want to do something evil, put it inside something boring. Apple could put the entire text of Mein Kampf inside the Itunes user agreement and you'd just go "Uh, Agree, Agree, Agree..."
Individuals granted the power to rule over such a critical technology, during
such a critical time in the development of our species. Create a respectable
legacy.
Regarding moving forward with regulations to maintain an ‘Open Internet’,
it is critical that ISPs are re-classified as Title ll public utility providers, so
that both consumers and innovators are guaranteed fair opportunity in the
foreseeable future, and ISPs are prevented from gradually creating an
innovation crushing, tiered network over the next few decades. Use the
power you have now to create a lasting change, for if the regulation is weak
in its foundation, with time it will collapse under the force of the corrupt
interest of multi-billion dollars companies’ lobbying efforts.

I don't think it can be said better than this. Damn, that's good.
"If you continue to post this comment, all moderations done to this discussion will be undone! Are you sure you want to post?"
Yes. Modding your posts down isn't going to help. As others have already suggested, get help. Take your meds. Dive down a flight of stairs. Whatever it takes for you to stop ruining everyone's time.
The American government respects money. If the NSA spying scandal costs American companies money they will make sure the government fixes the problem. If you want this spying problem fixed, find a way to ensure large American corporations lose money over it.
They will lose money if the injustices are not forgotten, so that trust in them cannot be restored.
I am just laughing why people are getting so upset at this point in game. Your privacy and mine as well, is no more than a joke.
Silence is seen as compliance. They want us to shrug it off and forget about it and tell others to do the same. The opposition needs to be loud and withstand time. Maybe it will motivate some to do something constructive with their anger. Like donating to the EFF. Or maybe start a new company that provides open hardware and software on their routers. That would be something. Privacy like security isn't on or off. You can make it better.
When the laws were created is irrelevant to the reality that protecting your privacy is made impossible in many places by government thugs.
Wearing masks in public is not a protection of your privacy: you're in *public*: everyone can see you, and what you are doing. That's part of the whole concept of a public place. No, wearing masks preserves *anonymity*, which is different from privacy. As is, you have and should have limited rights to privacy in public (can't force people not to look at you, for example). You have no right whatsoever to anonymity in public.
You are absolutely correct. There is no way to force people not to look at you in public. But, that doesn't make you less of an asshole for constantly doing so against the wishes of other people. Dammit, this argument is weak, weak, weak!!!
I find it hard to believe that no one has looked into execution using Nitrogen. Something akin to an old style dive helmet with a hose near the top to feed in gas. When the time comes, switch the flow over from air to pure nitrogen. Simple, cheap, painless and there is a limitless supply of Nitrogen.
This seems like a no-brainer. The only thing I can think of is that it isn't profitable enough to use nitrogen. The drug companies' thugs will come around and break your kneecaps for even thinking about nitrogen.
After a week of trying to find an app that prevents me from all cell phone use from behind the wheel entirely
Maybe my perspective is limited because I still have a dumb phone, but it strikes me that maybe the problem is that you are trying to solve this problem with the wrong tool.
I would say that if a person cannot figure out the solution on their own, they are a tool.
If you want to post in that subreddit though, be aware that they do not tolerate Slashdot style bullshit, or the sort of crap that the usual subreddit does. They're serious

Well, that and shareholder primacy.

Replying to my own post. This app is also available on the 1Mobile Market.
Danger will Robinson! holy Chinese mobile malware batman!
Could you show me proof of this? Thanks.
BTW, this app does the same on a rooted Android device.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Mod this up!

Bingo.

How about removable microphone and camera modules? Is there any way for this to happen for devices that are large enough to have them?

But, but, our ecominy will collapse if we don't charge more and more. It's the only way growth can be maintained while we burn our nations muscle!

Why not just tell people to troll it?
Because it's a nice civilized thing to do, to support your fellow space-rock-travelers in times of need.
Ahhh. Good post.
You're right. There's few things more humbling than looking like an ass in a public space. Damn, it sucks. Have a good night.
Sorry. I missed that bit. :)
