Ahhh....that meme is so tired. You do realize that wasn't a 'Windows' issue, but rather a crappily created application issue. IIRC, an input that allowed a zero (or null) value when it shouldn't have. Or are you trying to assert that crappy applications can only be written for the Windows platform?
Sometimes, "war" is thrust upon you. The obvious classic example is WWII.
The French/Belgians/Poles/Russians did not ask to be invaded. The Brits did not ask to be bombed.
Sometimes, your choices are reduced to only two. 1. Surrender and die or 2. Fight back. There is no #3. Wait, there was a #3, which Chamberlain tried first. Didn't work. So that leaves fight back or die.
No, they're investigated 53% more requests. The linked article says nothing about how many were actually banned. And the majority of requests were from parents or library patrons, not school districts or state/local govts.
49 cases. Is that idiocy? Are these idiots? Sure. But good grief....49 cases out of how many million kids and parents?
Alternate non-OTT headline - "0.002% of parents in the US have requested a book be banned in their local school library." You could find a greater percentage of people complaining about just about anything.
Milton Keynes already did this with the Redways. Complete separate system of parts for bikes. Which, according to cycling expert John Franklin, turned out to be utter crap. Two decades of the Redway cycle paths in Milton Keynes.
"Small", and completely useless.
"Yo, Assad...we're going to blow up some of your stuff in 3 weeks." Launch, and destroy some runways and now empty buildings.
And it will continue to happen, no matter the technology. Nuke, frak, solar panel production, high capacity battery production....some idiot middle manager will try to reduce costs at his level, and this is what we get.
Say I am John Q. Private. Can you give me a scenario where I might care that someone has this information?
A stalker, your spouses lawyer, just to name a couple. It's not a case of 'what can they do', or 'I have nothing to hide', but rather a case of 'it should not be that easy'.
The article fails to mention what they intend to convert the CO2 into, or how much it will cost. Maybe the primary function of the company is to win government grants.
Witness the crowdsourced identification of the Boston bombing dudes. Some poor dude was 'identified', and a semi-major newspaper picked it up..."Hey...that's the guy!" Sucks to be him. Or you.
No it wouldn't. Not looking at what is directly in front of you ends up up exactly the same whether one is transiting a roundabout or a light controlled intersection. She was going straight. Did not know that she had to stop (or turn as in the case of a roundabout). She was oblivious, due to the iShiny in her hand. T-boned is T-boned.
The only possible difference is that she may have been slightly airborne when she hit my truck. Thereby hitting the passenger door or window instead of the bottom of the door. Either way, the target vehicle (mine) is totalled.
I understand your point, but are you really assuming that the teenager in question would have been a perfectly careful driver if not for the phone?
I'm not asking for "perfectly careful". I'm just asking for her to look out the damn window and see the fucking red light, and not at the phone.
A full 10 seconds of red light. At 50+ mph, that is 3 football fields of no sentient being in control.
Yes, I went back a few days later and did a video (dashcam) and timed my path from green light to impact point. 10 seconds. Almost 900 feet of no one in control, because the phone thing was too important.
Granted, me and Ol' Belle (may she rest in peace) have a biased opinion. But ending up upside down because some teenage twit thought what was happening on her phone was far more important that looking out the window does tend to skew your opinion. T-boned at an intersection after she had a full 10 seconds of red light in front of her. She never bothered to look, and blew through the intersection at 50+.
" consciously driving more carefully during a call" is exactly what intoxicated drivers try to do.
Different is not better. I live in a city in a nice apartment, a 2 minute walk to the train that takes me to work (2 or 3 days/week I make the 30 minute bike ride to work), a thousand acre park nearby where I can do my morning runs and attend concerts and other events throughout the year, a grocery store 3 blocks away, over a dozen bars and restaurants within a 15 minute walk from home, a real butcher and baker within a 10 minute walk. I have a car, but only use it on weekends and since I only fill up the tank once a month or less, I don't care if gas is $3/gallon or $6/gallon.
And a lot of us don't dream of living in an ant colony. Different people have different needs and want. Amazing how that works, isn't it?

All you do is type in the license key and click a button. The licensing terms for 8 has changed significantly from what it used to be.
'Glass, or just a head or shoulder mounted camera. Just yesterday, I saw a cop in my local grocery store with a shoulder mounted camera.
What the difference between that and 'ooohh shiny Google Glass'?
That is far more people than you might think.

Your problem?
Technically, no. She was commissioned as a Junior Lt before the flight.

Gerrymandering has been going on for decades (if not more). You're just now noticing?

Gives me chills when I see people talking about tech like it was a religion.
Walk by any Apple store.
The car could refuse to work if it doesn't receive a GPS signal that makes sense.
Like when you go into a tunnel.

"Maybe"?
American beer has loads of carbonation and causes anger issues. European beer has less carbonation (and more flavour) causes less anger issues.
Clearly, you have never been to a European football/soccer game.
Google has said it's not going to allow advertising on Glass.
They also said 'no porn'.
That won't work either. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/24/google-glass-porn_n_3644321.html
