Never take your dog out. That's safest of all! Just lock it in a cage and it won't ever come to harm, although it will probably die of desperation.
Seriously while I don't agree with the labrador bouncing around in the back of the pickup truck, and while I do realize that the airbag can easily kill my 5lb poodle if it deploys, I don't spend my entire life worrying about every possible little thing that can go wrong. She's in my wife's lap with her leash on, and she loves to smell outside the window. I'd rather let her enjoy the ride with a small chance of serious injury if the worst should happen, than make sure she was miserable every trip getting car sick in a "safe" crate somewhere in the back of my car.
Life has risks. It's up to everyone to figure out the trade off they are willing to accept for themselves.
If your sense of smell was strong enough to let you smell something at the bottom of a lake, and if as a beloved pet your entire life was spent mostly in the same restricted area - a particular home, yard and neighborhood, you would also jump at the chance to get as much new, fresh and undiscovered air drift past your nostrils as you could. If ever you observe a dog with its head out the window in a car, it will have the "smiling" pose known by dog owners (relaxed jaw, ears back, tongue out) but also those nostrils will be working furiously the entire time. The dog is smelling everything it can, as much as it can.
Dogs are curious creatures (which is why wolves were first drawn to human habitations). Wild dogs and wolves in packs usually roam over large territories. Modern dogs have adapted to living a human lifestyle more or less, provided they get plenty of exercise and toys and social stimulation to keep them from being bored. But when they get the chance to add new smells to their experience, they love that most of all.
Yeah now it's Satya Nadella saying "if something goes wrong with your system it's just your bad karma". A cute way of saying that if your Windows box gets pwned, well what exactly where you doing/clicking on/browsing, you naughty little scamp?
I'm sure the government will also have a camera conveniently placed inside your windowless box because otherwise, who knows what you could be doing/transporting in there, serf. #1 traffic violation will now be tampering with the camera instead of speeding...
More junk science. Where are the double blind clinically controlled trials or the cohort studies? Oh wait, it's just someone pushing their pet theory again, using a database search to do a bit of post hoc justification. Are you SURE it wasn't because someone touched them as a child or that they want to have sex with their mothers? Let's have the prospective studies then figure out if the claim is true.
I don't understand the hate for people who drive without a license. I mean, I know people who have licenses and have had many accidents. And a lot of people I know who have no driver's license are good drivers. Why the hate, man? It's a free country you should be allowed to drive without a license or insurance if you want...
I think the point is people who have to jump through certain legal hoops to comply with laws, bylaws, rules and regulations of an industry don't feel too happy when any John Doe can offer the same service without having to do any of the above. The regulations are there for a reason, just like the driver's license is there for a reason.
Phone tapping vs recording a public officer exercising public duties in a public space? IANAL but I don't think they're quite the same. I mean, you could pull out maritime law too but I think it's hardly relevant.
I can vouch for this, living in one of those regions that GP says "who gives a fuck about that". Which is about as much as I care for his comment. Region blocking is ridiculous, but just because the EU wants to spend (more) money to make a(nother) useless law it can't enforce doesn't mean I think they're on the right track. It's the idiots with the distribution network who let themselves be bullied into going along with these schemes that need to wake up and realize they are literally shutting themselves out of markets and profits.
Windows 10. I have a, well, call him a friend, who works at Microsoft and has been forced to deal with the Windows 10 "beta" on his work machine for quite a while now. Apparently it's hard to keep productivity up when the damned thing keeps blue screening all the time. His opinion to me was that Windows 10 was the biggest piece of suckage Microsoft has produced to date. I bought some popcorn and am looking forward to release.
Me neither so I won't play that game. Maybe the phrasing is different and all sorts of little details and lawyer tricks happen, but the jist is the same. It's one thing to have say IP logs of naughty things crossing the internet to your IP, and actually seeing the file on your hard drive and your fingerprints on the keyboard.
If they have a tactical team breaking into your house you are pretty much fucked on circumstantial evidence anyway... It might mean the difference between 5 years in prison and life in prison though. "We're sure he had 'x' on his hard drive" is a lot weaker than "we found 'x' on his hard drive"...
You would have thought the Ferengi would have cottoned on to the fact that clothing their women would open a whole new avenue of profit by selling them rags and trinkets at thousands of times the cost just because they had a fancy label or some monogrammed initials.
Because so far that's all we've got. Once you've proved that travel other than "through" space is possible then I'll waste time lending an ear. Saying that the universe is strange and mysterious does nothing to solve a particular problem, nor does it make you particularly wise.
The trick is getting a nuclear reactor into orbit. One that won't kill the crew. The NEXT trick is managing not to kill the crew from all the radiation generated by traveling very, very fast through a space full of - radiation.
I always kept wondering why they bothered destroying the copy of themselves on the Enterprise. It seems to me it would be far more effective to keep the landing party as clones of yourself, let them do their job and say "oh well" if they got killed. And of course at the end of the mission, you TELL them you're beaming them back up but - are those phaser banks charged yet scotty?
Napoleon Bonaparte summed it up quite nicely when he said "You don't argue with intellectuals, you shoot them.". That is all you need to know about politics and power.
The point you're missing is that many will be happy to tell you that they are fully licensed, certified, etc and actually be lying through their teeth - especially if profit is involved. The only way to ensure compliance is to force them.

It is safest practice for all concerned.

Here's a novel thought - make both types, with and without windows. Then let the market decide!
Not to mention letting your dog stick its head out of the window. #1 most important function of car windows according to dogs.

Haha! I'm old enough to remember when Seagate was the best.

Pad abort, that sounds like when your girlfriend tells you you're going to have to wait a few days...
Yeah this will have about as much impact as the banning of involuntary cookies had...
I hope they made it pretty darned clear what exactly constitutes an "insult". Or is it just "posts I don't like"?

But two years might be better than the alternative.

but with an Apple Watch in hand
Might I be the first to point out that if you have your Apple Watch in your hand you are probably doing it wrong...
