I'll accept for the sake of argument that the ford pinto with the gas tank problem was statistically not a problem.
That being said, any corporation that accepts a casualty/loss over safety/loss deserves punitive damages. If it was your family in that wreck that killed them to save the corporation money - would you be as forgiving?
Millions of slashdot arguments flared up in Rage at that statement:) After all, Micro$oft security problems was well established on/. to be the fault of the OS - and not what the user did....
I've never had any issues with my Galaxy S5 - but then again, I shut apps off and discard them instead of installing stuff.
One was the original 386 dx 2 that was pretty nifty, and the next was the Acer Aspire - which sucked ass since it was actually a Packard bell when the company truly sucked at making a PC
How about not letting yourself be filmed or sexting?
I know - that's silly. We all need the government to be draconian when you've made a very big mistake and need someone punished. It's not your fault that the lech is humiliating you...
I saw the disease for what it was, and while having a low ICQ account number - I'm proud to not have been a facebook or myspace nitwit.
All you bottom feeders of facebook and myspace finding the intraweb need to be shot. And the folks that killed Napster - they need to be shot.
And get the hell off of my lawn.
Altho, my lawn is presently muddy. and most folks will wait for warmer weather to see the lawn - but most likely won't go past the thorn bushes I planted to deter people from the lawn.
I thought we'd have flying cars before we'd lose the chance to drive.
All kidding aside, 40 years from now we'll still be driving our own cars because programmers won't be able to help a car decide if it is allowed to avoid a collision that will kill a driver by swerving onto a sidewalk and killing two pedestrians.
At least you're bringing a gun to a gun fight - but remember, he's got the edge, you're too busy with the smartphone. By the time you drop it and reach he can shoot in self defense.
I think a better option would be to not collide with him in the first place. That way you won't get shot.
I have to wear glasses and would rather not, gas perms and other contacts that I've tried suck - so why would anyone need to wear glasses when they don't need to, or invest in a pair that still has to be upgraded to prescription lenses?
This whole "glass" thing reminds of ten years ago when the rage was three d gaming in Unreal Tournament - a thing of the future (just like flying cars for everyone).
That should make the lives of anyone planning the math launches for missions quite a bit more interesting.
Personally, I hate Satellite Internet - after suffering under a fair use policy and having my bandwidth reduce to 1.2 k under Hughes, I don't see how even having 2400 small satellites in orbit can help, or envision the lag time if they made it work with a large population.
I read this thread and being new to having a smartphone that I can't root since I bought it for my business and need it to charge credit cards and started panicking.
So I read thru all the op and then found in the s4 what version I was running, and I am at 4.4.4 so I'm good to go.
For people not good to go - take the articles, and start calling and screaming at the providers that have you under contract and make them ship you a new phone. That was my plan if I wasn't covered.

I think there's a blurry line here.

I've been afraid of Acer ever since then. The next compputer I bought was Alienware - a p2-450 (pre-dell)- after that I started building my own.
Are Acer pc's any good now?
I had what - 5 minutes to reply?
where did everyone go?
I'm sad that this is the first post. What has /. sunk to?
No, they won't - they will raise rates to make up for lost revenue and offer their TV services for a buck or two over that.
While I hate the gubment being everywhere in the public life, I'd support them stepping in and regulating a basic cost to connect.
Everyone who "cut the cord" learns that content is relatively cheap. Forcing those that "Cut the cord" to pay anyway is tantamount to robbery.
Please watch the video before replying. That will definitely save you from looking like an idiot.

A guy who killed elephants in the name of science changed his mind and brought back the green.
I'm seriously interested in people shooting this down, because if that's the fix = then vegans are Nazis and the world will benefit from cheap meat.
Umm, they do get lunch....

So I'll just shake my fist.
If I buy a game, I want to play it on any PC I own - and I'm still playing X-Com and Warcraft (yes - I have those discs :)
Steam sorta got it right - but steam is a gamble cause if it shuts down - anything you bought goes away.
If you want to "rent" the framework to play, not going to bite - sorry.

Yes, that's true, but it was the first successful attack.
Cept the germans used it in ypres, Belgium - so they should of stayed the fuck out of Belgium and gassed themselves?

What good are robots if no one has a job earning money to buy the products made by the robots?
I guess it's to save a few minutes from having to call up a few carriers and ask for the dumps?
I think that all videos and events should be presented without editing or commentary.
I would prefer to mike my mind up instead of having others decide "what I need to know" .

As long as they use it while driving to text - It'll be a spectacular dump of chlorine in the gene pool as they kill themselves off.
I take it you've never worked in a corporation.
You have good intentions that should be written into fortune cookies, but I think you sadly lack in working in the real world.
