    How does the sharing work? Provide a key offline for a one off customer?

    You are replying to the wrong person. He said feminism wasn't the problem for porn. The AC did.

    I should have stopped reading after the first paragraph. Your logic is bizarre. The driver should be a member of the engineering team with deep understanding of the vehicle. You think test jet fighter pilots don't feel the operation and feedback how it operates with the software guys heavily relying on the pilot's experience and skills? Don't cook the fucking tests, collect fucking data so you improve your tech.

    I was a QA manager in another industry. I could find bugs in software within hours of testing, often getting a "never thought a user could/would do that". Then with real world testing, you run into other issues where *I* didn't possibly conceive or weren't repeatable under ideal lab conditions. Only real world testing can find not-thought-of use cases. You get a lot more noise in real world vs lab.

    None of your suggestions would change the daily shitty drivers I encounter everyday. I look forward to a world where the signal lights are actually used fucking properly and vehicles enter and exit simple roundabouts without doing two things wrong. There's a left turn off a highway I need to take. The response time from the first driver to move on a green left light is 3 seconds at best up to 8 seconds (5 is about average) by the time someone honks. That's a difference of 5 to 13 cars that can take the turn on one green left. I look forward to the day when the first car drives within 1 second and all the cars behind it efficiently get through, saving minutes of time and traffic frustration.

    I support the change from car analogies to Simpsons analogies.

    It exists in Canada. There's deaths in Vancouver all the time. Aggregious jaywalking that can cause accidents needs to be fined like a motherfucker. I don't give a shit if people jaywalk respecting traffic and the vehicles. But we have dark and rainy conditions for a good chunk of the year and don't need fuckers walking out of nowhere.

    The homeless in my town is really, really bad for that. Motherfuckers refuse to even look or acknowledge the cars they interfere with.

  11. That changes as access to the Internet improves and no longer limited to local culture. There will still be tremendous translation capabilities, so it will take a few generations, but should be significantly less languages in three generations.

    Yes, from Taiwan to Israel to Canada trade, Trump has really proven he can talk the foreign policy talk. Oh wait, he fucking makes up shit all the fucking time and admits it! He's a whiny, little bitch. "Do you like me?" What a cunt.

    Holy shit, this is the weakest change request, ever. Server and Desktop versions are targeted to different people. If you can't track which desktop edition is based on server version, and googling is too hard for you, you shouldn't be in IT, at all.

    You're why we can't have nice things. No, 15 year olds are not widely known for exposing crypto vulnerabilities. It's fucking newsworthy.

    I just updated a mobo's bios last updated in 2012. It doesn't support downgrading after installing a bios from a certain point. That wasn't the first mobo with downgrade prevention I've seen, either. I don't think you know wtf you're talking about.

  22. I grew up in Canada. Before the Internet, to me, Playboy was soft because it didn't show the lips. Penthouse and Club were hardcore because they had wide open pussy shots. Post Internet, to me, hardcore means penetration and not just spread open pink.
