If the same thing happened in say, Alabama, we'd comment on it too. .
Stupid is as stupid does, no matter the skin color or location. The sheer ridiculousness of taking net access away from an entire country "for the children" is what's being mocked here, not the technological abilities in Iraq.
As to your air travel strawman, The US was trying to determine what had happened. We had no way of knowing that there were NOT more terrorists lined up, and the severity of 9/11 was a bit higher than some kids cheating on an exam. In retrospect, that reaction might not have been warranted, but seeing as how nothing like that had ever happened before, there are worse ways we could have reacted.
Well since I live in a high rise apartment in a city and don't own a car, I don't give a fuck about "supporting" local stores that are out of walking distance anyhow, so I'm fine with that.
I'm not going to go out of my way to pay higher prices, have to go to the store when it's OPEN, and deal with service drones.
If you build both, both need to be tested. I'm not privy to Debian release standards, but I expect it's become harder to find community members willing to do the necessary testing on what are essentially obsolete platforms.
Additionally, eliminating platforms reduces complexity of defining packaging, and all manner of procedural things required for the release of a distro. It's not simply a matter of running GCC with a switch.
Why the fuck is this "Flamebait?" This exactly how it should work. NO one is forcing anyone to use Uber. All this does is eliminate competition and protect cab company margins, and ensure that the number of tourists willing to visit Austin (that do any research at all) will plummet.
Hell I had a job offer from an Austin company and my reply was just today "I have no interest in living in a town where if I need a ride I have to call Yellow Cab. Please do not contact me again."
Was it really Austin voters directy? or council members? Every city I've lived in, measures like that have been council decisions.
If Austin really did eliminate ride sharing on purpose, well fuck them, enjoy the expensive and scarce cabs, and enjoy a severe reduction in tourist dollars.
Well then enjoy your indolent, rude, perpetually late Taxi service that will charge you an arm and a leg and artificially restrict the number of drivers so that you wait and wait and can't afford to use it regularly.
You've earned it.
These laws are ENTIRELY written by Taxi lobbyists to prevent even the suggestion of competition. More ride shareing or Taxis on the road means less private cars, but they spin it to mean that they would "clog the roads".
This is all about maximizing profit for lazy cab drivers and greedy/corrupt taxi company owners (and corrupt politicians that take their bribes). Nothing more.
It's not supposed to be your primary job. You drive as many trips as you want to to make a little extra cash. I don't know ANY Uber or Lyft drivers that do it full time. If you think you can, you're DOING IT WRONG.
Precisely. That and kick-backs. There are bribes flying all around at council members there. Here's hoping for federal investigations and jail time for councleweasles.
Because "social justice" dictates that these drivers should certainly be supporting the right of indolent, rude cab drivers to earn excessive profits for cab owners while doing minimal work with no competition.
Of course we should be protecting the buggy whip manufacturers at every opportunity. Didn't you get the memo from the Luddite Committee?
The economy today is almost entirely based on the public and business' trust in the ability to do (or appear to do) secure transactions online.
If one or both groups twigs to the fact that there is no security at all, things will revert to the (equally insecure and MUCH slower) transaction by mail. Online purchases will cease.
The US Fed isn't asking for "flawed" encryption, they're asking for NONE AT ALL.

Well, they certainly have been sketchy since Facebook bought them. I'm glad I never committed to that.
What did you expect? Apple doesn't currently ship computers with video hardware capable of running VR.
That said, fuck facebook, fuck Oculus, and fuck Palmer Lucky sideways with a bandsaw.
Glad I bought a vive.
Who the fuck said anything about "brown people?"

Well one would also need to buy a Windows Phone so...
Kidding aside, the headphones are required as antenna for Android as well.
At the very least, stop giving that child a battery every three hours.

Sorry, that's the way it is.
It has? Is that why they've introduced two more models, and other companies are licensing the tech? Interesting definition of "failed miserably."

And ban him from access to anything more advanced than a leaded pencil. Vandalism is vandalism. You're bored? go help the needy or something.

So you want to be fingerprinted in order to hold a job then?
Bully for you.
Fuck off, cabbie.

Sure he can run 60FPS. you just have to turn all the detail down to "complete shit."
For VR they definitely do. A lot.
In a year in a year in a year.
something better is always going to come out. You can get a huge improvement over your current kit, or you can wring your hands and worry.
Well I"m a gamer, and no AAA games will ever be "in the cloud " in that way so I still have a reason to use it. For games. And nothing else.
And no, I'm not going to forgo games that I enjoy just to "make a point".
No,they haven't. It's not the people they're giving free upgrades to 10 to,
Wanna guess who the customer is?
They will have computers strong enough to break RSA once the US government legislates a back door in RSA.
That's not even a question.

That's crazy town there.
Plain and simple.
