The airlines don't like this, because if you book NY to LA, they can no longer sell the Chicago to LA seat
What do you mean? They did sell that seat: to me, as part of a trip I paid for, and at the price they thought was fair. If I choose to not use part of what I paid for, well, I still paid for it.
The airline's complaint would be like me going to a restaurant, ordering the steak&potatoes but only eating the steak, and the restaurant complaining this should be illegal because they could've made more money selling the (wasted) potatoes to someone else.
Thanks for the techsmartly.net "joke", jerkwad. It's really funny having to kill Safari because all I can get it to do is rick-roll me with a stream of pop-up windows. I didn't want to keep the stuff in the other open windows anyway...
Result after unions: ... ... where the petty minded rulers feel like you slighted them means you will never work as a coder again because other union shops are told not to work with you
What's this have to do with unions? Do non-union industries have some mystical property that makes hiring-managers inherently non-petty?
"I like and believe very much that we should have to obtain a warrant from an independent judge to be able to take the contents," FBI Director James Comey told reporters.
Had "obtain a warrant" been their approach leading up to now, maybe encryption-everywhere wouldn't be gaining traction.
That and credit card companies are too fucking cheap to switch to chip and pin. The only reason the rest of world switched was because the companies were forced to. Not in the good old USA.
I think that's changing, maybe the mess is finally more expensive than a preemptive fix.
My bank cancelled+replaced my credit card last week (without warning: they said it was because the # was recently reported stolen, I'm guessing it was the local supermarket chain but they won't say), and the replacement has chip and pin. I didn't ask for it, they didn't ask me, they just did it. Of course, it's a no-brainer for them if the cost of a safer card is footed by a compromised retailer.
So, are we supposed to discuss the coolness of using Kevlar to combat shark attacks, or the outrage of the Discovery network's sensationalist programming?
I think he might have had a few more people on his side if he would have said this from day one.
Maybe he anticipated how they would try to play the game?

Where's the backlash against the congressional republicans who voted for the 2% increase, going so far as having Grover Norquist declare that the bill was "technically" tax cuts?
The fact is that the vote of a person living in Wisconsin counts for 3.8 times as many Electoral Votes as my vote as a Californian.
I don't have to point out that the "people/electoral vote" ratio from WI to CA is only about 1.1 (others beat me to that), but even that's misleading: the all-or-nothing nature of (almost) every state's EC voting gives large states a extra-large influence on the election outcome. In a race that's tight in the state, a change of only 1% of votes can cause lots of EC votes to swing from one side to the other. Read recent history for OH and FL to see that play out.
Why could these only save 200 people, max? Will they be uninstalled from the car after the first year?
Beyond lives, I see potential in preventing "oopsie, I backed into a parked car"-type accidents, avoid just one of those over the life of the vehicle and the camera more than paid for itself.
What I don't get is why this data is so useful to advertisers. I've almost never bought anything based solely on an ad.
Everybody says that, and yet companies spend untold $billions on marketing and marketing-effectiveness research. Which means either (A) this pervasive marketing is a huge waste-o-cash, or (B) we ("consumers" as a whole) are mostly unaware of the heavy influence that marketing has on us.
Knowing how much those companies would love to keep the dollars headed toward executives instead of blowing it on expenses, my money's on (B).
Since percentages aren't distorted by exponential growth, that means he's responsible for a 10% reduction in the world's current population.
Not necessarily.
Suppose for a minute 2 parallel timelines- one where Khan killed lots of people, a second where he didn't. You can't assume that timeline-1's (relatively uncrowded) population would would increase at exactly the same rate as timeline-2's (relatively crowded) population. Maybe timeline 2 would produce more children (people closer together plus a safer societal environment equals more couples having children). Or maybe the higher population density would subtly discourage having children (causing a leveling of population growth, as we're seeing in some places today).
If he doesn't like that then he can make his own phone and his own app store
App store I understand, but why would he have to create his own phone/tablet? Why can't the people who own
an iPad be able to run what they darn well please?
Because the wrong people invariably end up with the job security and ridiculous pension. There is no real method in typical US union contracts for weeding out the bad, since they're seniority based rather than performance based when it comes to job security.

You're missing the point entirely. When US gov. officials use the term "secure" they mean precisely "control and oppress those in question" or often "retain power at all costs". You must learn to read these statements properly.
It's naive to only call out "US gov. officials". Every gov't wants this power, and quite a few (maybe more than you'd like to admit) are working hard to get it.
Slashdot Mirror
Wouldn't your tear-sheding kind of depend on which 50-60% die off? Eg, I'd be pretty upset if slashdot disappeared...

Touche, broad brush indeed.
The torture was more than just waterboarding, and was done to more people than just gitmo's.

I resent that- they're perfectly capable of losing our data to some guy on this continent, too.

No, their work schedule makes me unproductive.

Everyone believes in "necessary" regulation. The question is what do you, I, etc, consider necessary?
just got served,
If it's only William Shatner's birthday, then why do I suddenly feel so old?

I'm thinking maybe American Medical Response of Connecticut is about to have less to say about the web, and more to say on it.
