That many people need MJ to treat their specific condition?
At least in California, the medical "need" is a joke. Virtually anything qualifies, including anxiety about getting caught with the drug without a "weed card". I expect it is the same in neighboring Nevada.
They just record whatever is on your finger when you make your pickup. If you have nothing extra on your finger and you don't find it an invasion of privacy to let a private company have a scan of your fingerprint then they have a record of it and can use that when they try to take you to court for being involved in an enhanced delivery. Personally I know a lot of people who would object to them scanning their fingerprint. Which will be interesting if the company is forced to make a second manned delivery or just fail to deliver. I also know people, myself included, who, when we know a delivery is coming, would go to the trouble of making a phony fingerprint just to screw with them. Of course, you're not really screwing with them if you just accept the delivery intended for you, so to properly show them the error of their ways will take extra effort.
This is great. It's not like South Korea has some kind of nut job for a northern neighbor who is going to feel even more diminutive now and be likely to nuke them for just having this.
Personally, I don't see your stated "problem" affecting me. I do my streaming in (very) non-peak hours and any pretend limit on the number of DVDs would be freed up in time to not impact others. And editing requirements could be kept extremely simple such as "remove the music credits", so the DVD wouldn't be tied up very long. Sounds like I'm never paying more than a buck to stream a movie again.
My wife hates gore - I think we'll be trying VidAngel soon.
We all hate him. Suggestion: Don't watch “An Inconvenient Truth” (spoiler: the cause and effect graphs clearly show the effect coming before the cause) or its new sequel and you should be fine.
Others are charging a lot more than $1 to stream a movie. Sounds like if I define the "objectionable" parts as the end credits that contain no video scenes or even the very objectionable commercials for other movies before the movie starts, (but the nudity and violence and cussing isn't objectionable), then I could get a movie streamed for a buck. Am I missing something here?
And by the way, if you think that throwing around how much you make and having bought things is a measure of maturity, then you might not be as mature as you think.
Yes! I love a legal system where you get to plead that killing your victim was an insane thing to do and the prosecution has to argue "No, it was a perfectly rational thing to do". And you only get punished if he succeeds in convincing them that it was rational to murder your victim.
I was specifically thinking of the over 1 million buck football stadium that my former high school built when I wrote this. Did want to be that specific because I figured that (as usual) I would be modded down and called a liar if I mentioned it.
Oh no! Let's ban fossil fuels and replace them with inefficient more expensive technologies that were made with energy from fossil fuels. Anyone who says otherwise is a troll who needs to be modded down.
You miss the point. They are giving them expensive fancy computers and the like but not giving them paper and pencils that the school system should already be providing. By not giving paper and pencils and other essentials they directly impact the school systems ability to steal money from the general fund and spend it on perks for school board members or absurdly expensive sports programs. Lets paint Google as the wrong doer here and not look too closely at the actual problem.
It might not be a good idea to suggest to government cronies who want to take away all your rights of privacy that if you were dead then there would be no conflict.
Those disgusting freedom hating commies are trying to break into an iPhone and violate the privacy of someone that they have already killed. What kind of an inhuman spying evil government would want to do that?
I believe it completely. We all know that Obama has done all that he could to keep Snowden in Russia where he could reveal American secrets (such as we spy on our own citizens and ignore our constitution) in order to further harm this country rather than pardoning him and welcoming him back as a hero.
Browsers are slow because everything you do and everything you see needs to be reported to Facebook. Even if you are not a Facebook member and never will be one, your browser is constantly telling Facebook what you are doing.
There are other unwanted links to and from sites that spy on you also. I unfairly pick on Facebook because they are the most abusive example of this. And they are evil devil worshipers in league with HRC.
If you can limit the browser action to the site that you actually want information from and block it from reporting everything that you do to undisclosed third parties and from delivering harmful malware to you in the form of indiscriminately selected advertising sites who are known to have delivered malware in the past, then the browser runs much faster.
I think you're confused. What I asked my state representative for was to put a block of porn on all computers. Some of us poor people in South Carolina don't have fast access to the Interweb and are still on dial-up or without Interweb access at all. We can't get good porn. So we want blocks of porn installed on the computers before we buy them.
Environmentalists are never happy, next week the smog will be so dense that planes can land on it, and they will likely complain about that too. No pleasing them.

how do they get the fingerprint anyway?

A delivery truck arrives with no driver. Self service, help yourself to what you want. What could go wrong?
Sure saves me the trouble of having to capture those pesky delivery drones.
I'm glad that we are discussing the overdue death of this junkie here rather than wasting another top level Slashdot topic on her.
I sure hope our government catches and punishes the criminals who took the law in their own hands and started these DDOS attacks.

Sorry to break it to you, but I paid off my house too, and I still refuse to grow up.

I would be more willing to grow up if I saw it worked better for others.
Reduce it? I'm trying to do my part to help prevent the next ice age!

My thoughts exactly. He doesn't deserve a cent over $3.4 billion.
