Say you're happy to check your records and if you find you owe them you'll mail a check. Then ask for an address to send it to.
Once you have an address, send a certified letter asking that they stop contacting you (assuming you never want to hear from them again). Then, if they keep contacting you go see a lawyer.
This assumes you really don't owe anything. I'm not a lawyer - if you need legal advice you should hire one.
...knowing where the fuck you're going, before you head out?
I'm guessing you either don't cycle much or don't ever travel and cycle some place new?
Some of us happily ride 50, 60, 70... 100 miles when we go out on the bike. Typically it's on rural roads with lots of turns. Sometimes you might make a new route to suit the distance you want to cycle. So you combine lots of bike friendly roads you are used to riding on, but you use them in a different way. Remembering which turn you're planning to take typically involves printing out a map or cue sheet.
Other times, someone else will have plotted a ride using bike friendly roads you are unfamiliar with. Thirty turns wouldn't be unusual. That's a lot to remember, even if you have a pretty good idea of where you are.
Surely this is much better than a cyclist constantly checking their odometer so they don't miss the next turn.
They can do it with or without the terms and conditions.
Funny, here's what the edit page says: Work submitted to Wikipedia can be edited, used, and redistributed—by anyone—subject to certain terms and conditions.
Looks to me like if I want to edit, I am subject to the terms and conditions.
If you are knowingly not following the terms and conditions that allow you to edit, then surely your use of the computer system to do so is just as unauthorized as if you had stolen an account to do so?
If my front door is left unlocked, you still wouldn't have a defense to burglary if you come in and take my TV.
If there's a troubleshooting step you can take to resolve the issue, so that the games display and can be played then it is indeed a glitch.
For some units, of course there's going to be hardware failures. Those folk certainly have my sympathy. Hopefully Sony have a well stocked return/replace process so those unlucky customers can be running quickly.
Videos and occasional complaints are somewhat meaningless. Unless there are hard numbers to show more failures than would be expected, this is just another product launch.
They're just recording the data. Underwriting is pretty scientific. If there's no correlation between rapid acceleration and accidents, then there shouldn't be an impact on premiums.
If you read my comment though, I mentioned both acceleration and breaking. Someone who simply brakes hard might be a poor driver. Someone who accelerates hard AND brakes hard might be a driver who is both aggressive and poor. While someone - like you, clearly - who only accelerates hard when hitting the motorway/interstate/other long straight bit of road and rarely slams on the brakes may show up as being a low-risk driver.
Yes because we all know that speeding always leads to accidents.
My experience with the device was that it cared less about speed and much more about rapid acceleration and rapid braking. That seems pretty reasonable to me. Also they're interested in the time of day you drive, again that's pretty reasonable.
The progressive model doesn't have GPS. Theoretically, you could try and reconstruct where the car was, given speed and time data and slowdowns for intersections, but that's a lot of work to issue a speeding ticket.
I don't see it going 24x7 anytime soon, as someone would then have to pay the cellphone data costs, and you'd need a device per customer rather than one device servicing a dozen customers per year.
When I can insure a couple of cars for well under $500 per six months, there's probably no way of recouping the cost by mandating the device be used 24x7. For an 18 year old new driver, that might be different. Is there another, better and easier way, for an 18 year old could extract themselves from the general risk pool if they are above average in safe driving?
Bluetooth LE beacons can let an enabled app determine your location to a reasonably precise location at a given time
Given how few phones have bluetooth enabled, it doesn't seem like a very efficient solution. Much easier just to use wifi access points. Most phones are going to be constantly searching for wifi and that's a lot easier to log. I notice lots more large chain stores are making free wifi available which would probably allow for customer tracking if Google and or Apple were to cooperate.
So... I repeat my wife's question: do you REALLY want these people in charge of your healthcare? I don't.
Does your wife really think that insurance companies don't make errors with billing, coding or paying the bills?
Next time you're in your doctor's office, ask them how much effort it is to work with the various insurance companies. Should you be in a hospital, ask the doctor how much time is lost in disputing the necessity of treatment with insurance companies, or how many patients opt for less than optimal treatment because an insurance company bureaucrat interprets a rule differently from other staff at the very same firm.
Read what you wrote. You need a warrant that specifies where they will search (the journalists house) and what they will seize (guns). The police had a lawful warrant as far as we know.
The Supreme Court says that when the police have legitimately entered premises if they find something else illegal they can take it too. I very much doubt the founding fathers would have expected otherwise.
That said there are still restrictions on what the police can do in their search.
I'm still not a lawyer and this is still not legal advice.
Considering the warrant, at least according to the article, was for the search of guns inside her home, the only items they were allowed to seize were guns.
I am not a lawyer, but that is simply not true. While there are restrictions on what police can do during a search, they are certainly not limited to taking the items described on the warrant. If police search a house for guns and on entering find bags of drugs on the table next to wads of cash, you can be pretty sure they're leaving with the drugs and cash too, and they won't need a separate warrant to do so.
Personally, I'm not that bothered by teething problems. Plenty of sites have experienced them. Yes, there are many ways they could have been avoided, but they weren't, and they will undoubtedl be fixed.
More interesting would be to know what penalty clauses are in the contracts? If they were absent, it's a whole lot clearer why these problems have hit. There was simply no financial incentive to design a site that could scale appropriately.
At 250m thats a lot of powered, cooled, powerful cpu nodes needed in cabinets out in suburbia. Might as well just run optical all the way in many areas as cross talk/noise will add up fast?
Of course not. And no one watching the adverts thinks of Kirk each time they see him. And the folk who pass Shatner in the street, they don't yell Captain.
I'm not sure what world you live in. Presumably not one the USS Enterprise ever reached. For the rest of us, and most fortunately for Shatner's bank balance, he will always be inextricably linked with Kirk - whatever role he plays.
You really think she killed herself because she thought people would think better of her, and that mourning a dead daughter/friend encourages suicide?
Personally I can only begin to imagine what her grieving parents are going through. The posts above show that bullying doesn't have a short-term impact for many of its victims. Often they remember it for the rest of their lives. Some will go through years of counseling. Others will never reach their potential as a result.
I don't for a second believe this girl took her life because she had some long-term plan as to how people would look at her. I strongly suspect that in a moment of despair she sought an escape.
Great. Then you pay for it. I don't share your enthusiasm, so why should I have to share your bill?
Because every day you benefit from projects that were funded using taxpayer dollars/pounds/euros on the basis of long-term aspirations. The massive investment in road networks, rail networks and telecommunications were all taxpayer funded or subsidized. The technology spin-offs from the space program are benefits that again may never have seen the light of day without aspirational projects.
You benefit from those who walked before you. In return in makes sense to pave the way for those who will walk after you.
Do firefighters really do this? In all my life, I don't think I've ever seen a fire crew helping a cat down from a tree. I figure when the cat gets hungry, it'll find its way down.
I thought this just came from cartoons, because fire is hard to animate, and you need to do something with the ladders, otherwise firemen wouldn't have been needed at all.
I'm sure that lawyers everywhere are salivating at the thought of self-driving cars
Funny, I think the opposite is true. Sure there might be a couple of big class actions from which a handful of lawyers will become incredibly wealthy. Lawyers everywhere on the other hand, they can probably anticipate a dramatic decline in personal injury claims and claims for property damage. Likely there will also be a substantial reduction in the need for lawyers to defend tickets for moving violations.

Chicago and DC have restrictive gun laws that don't work. Tell me, what are the gun laws like five miles outside either city?

Lots of journalists take note on paper, sometimes using shorthand, often in cursive. This is why there is still such a thing as a reporter's notebook.
While some of us have pretty bad handwriting, I'm not entirely convinced you could categorize that as secure encryption.
Personally, I'm not that bothered by teething problems. Plenty of sites have experienced them. Yes, there are many ways they could have been avoided, but they weren't, and they will undoubtedl be fixed.

More ridiculous is the fact that the link in the summary takes you to a video that shows exactly the feature the poster was requesting.
You use your smartphone to tell the car to 'unpark' and then climb in.
