the default assumption is that there is NO OTHER WAY to fight crime other than by snooping through people's data. Maybe police should stop offering us false choices and instead try to do some actual police work?
The only demand I make is for the govt to leave me alone, both in my person as well as my house, papers and effects. That's the difference between US and Europe, where you guys riot for your right to get a pension. I also have natural rights which I posess independent of any man-made institution.
It will be interesting to see what happens when ios9 is released. It includes the capability to block ads cuz you can install an ad blocker in mobile safari. I'm sure that android has had options for a while, but iOS is a large market share and valuable cuz demographics. Also, I imagine it's a techie process to install on android, while maybe they can make it one-tap easy to install on iOS. Don't worry, I'm sure iAds won't be blocked...
doh you beat me to it. just order an uber and it will show up at the police station! further, i've found the drivers to be pretty chatty and open. they could just take uber rides different places and talk to drivers that way. they may be surprised at how pleasant the rides are, how convenient the service is, and how inexpensive they are compared to cabs. maybe police should be talking to cabbies to figure out why they can't replicate uber's convenience and customer experience?
They don't want to sit in someone else's filth. They don't want their car to drive off, pick up someone who has sex in it or their kid vomits or a pet shits, etc.
Yet millions of people still take public transportation every day.
when I take the train, yes it's a public space but unlike this own and lend out model I am not on the hook for a $40k car loan on it.
this article and the comments have nothing to do with automated cars. replace "automated" with carshare. you get to the same place. we don't need a brave new technological world, our current one works fine for what we want to accomplish.
frownie face. i feel like you have purposely misunderstood me and then lashed out about it. my position has been consistent and clear.
Macs don't get viruses, compared to antivirus software, except for certain vectors like this bios or rom stuff, and also new ones that pop up from time to time. and when they do get viruses, they are usually patched pretty quickly.
so for the most part, mac users can be worry free about viruses and AV because apple has them covered and some things you just can't prevent? I think this is true not just for viruses but all malware.
Besides, some things are just super effed up. like java? what can apple do about it? it's like sticking your dick in a fishnet, there are just too many holes and you can't block them all. Apple could do something like they did on iphones where they don't allow flash. that would probably help, i think.
sure is your choice. let me ask, is someone holding a gun to your head making you use google? it's perfectly fine if you don't want to use google because of privacy reasons
actually I rarely use google. my primary search engine (and default on my browsers) is duckduckgo. i don't use gmail. I don't use chrome. I don't use android. you're right, nobody's holding a gun to my head.
but what ticks me off is the sanctimonious attitude that I must have something to hide because I want to be left alone. the googleplex sneer. or, the fallback, that I must wear a tinfoil hat. no. my choice is a valid and rational one, and I (and many others) are making it. google needs to wrap their minds around the fact that there is a growing segment of internet users that are rejecting their business model.
the AC has it right. it doesn't matter what the reason is. i don't want to be tracked because what i do is my own business. if I recorded all your calls, would you tell me to stop? Would you give me a justification? Would you take exception if I implied that you must be doing something illicit? no, you would tell me to sod off.
because when i do something illegal on youtube, they'd be able to link that to my gmail address?
I'm calling you out on your "if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear" nonsense. It's disingenuous and unfair. There are many reasons why you wouldn't want to be tracked and monitored. Personally, I like controlling what parts of my life are exposed to others. I will not apologize for that, and I will not be made to feel bad that I must be doing something wrong. So piss off back to the googleplex where you can drink some more koolaid.
are you familiar with LASERS and PLASMA? Using well-constructed mirrors you can trap lasers in a small space and continue to boost the power contained.
Slashdot Mirror
hence drinkypoo's snarky comment about are you referring to the onboard diagnostics unit or ol dirty bastard? I thought it was pretty funny.

c.f. john locke natural rights. or ayn rand.
the article correctly says OBD, but your post says ODB. see the difference?
yes but you can't snip the brakes when the vehicle is going 75 MPH on the freeway...

google changes its name to Omni Consumer Products...
I'm pretty sure it's a prank. lulz!

Turn off wifi and cellular. That should keep you safe.
Would you call the police if someone drove a car across your private land?
Well, highways also have an owner: the state. The state, in turn, is a corporation with one share per citizen.

Fuck the state. The state has nothing. The people have everything.

one long word: Cyanogemod
quoting the comment above: oh hell no!
For my part, I simply choose to not install Java in the first place, it's an infection vector that I don't need.
Ain't nobody got time for that!
ok, I mean lyft/uber/sidecar type of services. not zipcar.
no need to link cuz it's common knowledge and obvious, duh /s

you could put it indoors, so it can be at the optimum angle yet not be exposed to inclement weather...
have you thought of mounting your solar panels in a vertical orientation. this will minimize the accumulation of snow.
