She can keep her money as long as she is agrees to live in a bungalow with no electricity, running water or plumbing and 500km away from the power grid.
Nevermind. I guess she sort of has (reading comprehension failure).

In the auto updating case, if the network dies in the middle of the day, it's not immediately obvious whether there's a transient network problem or a failed update.
So, what you are saying, the average user will simply assume their router broke and buy a new one? You weren't supposed to figure that one out. Google does no evil. They'll have to send an android out to exterminate you now. Or maybe you'll get run over by a self-driving car.
I haven't used an ATM in decades. I simply buy something at Walmart or Sam's Club and get cash back using my Discover card. It's far easier to find a Walmart than your bank's ATM. It's not uncommon for me to walk in to Walmart and walk out with $60 cash and a bag of Lindt chocolates. I even have a name for it, I call it a "truffle withdrawal".
I have a solution to the motion sickness problem. I am designing a totally immersive VR experience that allows you to feel what it is like to be paralyzed from head to toe. No matter how much you try to move your head around, the images presented to your eyes remains the same. As a bonus, this virtual reality experience only requires a Pentium and a VGA card, so you can experience it on a shoe string budget. And did I say, no motion sickness? It's gonna be the killer app for VR, I guarantee it!
It's unclear to me whether the two LCDs just give the user two individual planes to focus on, or whether through some computational wizardry two is enough to generate multiple virtual planes. If it is the latter, I am very impressed and am curious whether this technology could be applied to TVs or other devices.
Except with just refill bottles instead of cartridges it means that it is vastly easier to sell off brand ink, no pesky DMCA and such on the cartridges, so you are not really locked in.
You haven’t seen the bottles, have you? They come with pentalobe shaped tips that only fit the pentalobe shaped hole on the printer’s ink reservoir.
Our storage mediums spun and made noises! And we liked it!
What is funny is that I recently upgraded my laptop to an SSD and I was flabbergasted that during disk access it made the exact same noise as it did when I had a regular hard disk. I thought I had been sold a fake SSD, but I’m getting approx 510MB/s on benchmarks, so I know it is legit. On further investigation the noise comes from where the speakers are located, so what I thought was hard disk noise was probably just electrical noise. My system makes the same soft buzzing sound on data access as it always had!
What exactly do you think "rights" are but a form of social contract?
That's not the exclusive meaning of "right". Here is the dictionary definition:
"a moral or legal entitlement to have or obtain something or to act in a certain way"
The part about "legal entitlement" does indeed fit the definition of a social contract, which is all fine and good, but the definition involving "moral" allows people to get away with all sort of logical absurdities.
So, I think my original objection to the phrase "right to life" still stands.
Help me understand. Is a two petawatt laser being fired for a picosecond more like being sneezed on by a rhino with a cold or more like being shat on by an elephant with a bad case of explosive diarrhea?
Speaking of horses... Electric cars have not yet reached the Tipping point of surpassing horses in the US.
That's because horses are far greener than electric cars. You put in a biofuel in one end and compost comes out the other. And they have excellent self-driving abilities. So electric cars don't stand a chance against horses.
Do we? I'ld say its not a right, it's just a social contract. You can get into a lot of logical absurdities if you assume humans have a right to life, rather than simply accepting that we CHOOSE not to kill one another, because, frankly, being killed is a major drag.
I think the question is whether everyone should be writing software AND then attempting to sell it to others via the app store. The answer to that, IMHO is no, as making software for others requires a level of professionalism and quality not everyone can reach.
But it would be nice if we could somehow rewind back to the 80s in which every computer came with a simple programming language so that if I wanted to throw together some code to do a simple task for my own benefit, I could do so quickly and easily.

i thought Journaled file systems already possessed this feature.
And you think that a retail outlet handles your credentials more securely than a bank/ATM?

Credit cards are pretty good about not making you pay for fraudulent activities.
I only use the center key and type my PIN in Morse code.

The Constitution does not say "firearms." It says "arms."
"Arms" include firearms, electrical weapons, slingshots, bows and arrows, and any other sort of weapon.
And actual arms, I presume. Your legs are not constitutionally protected and are subject to be chopped off at any time.

Oh, and many Europeans travel 1000+km on a single streak with their cars on holidays.
How many laps around Europe is that?
Sorry, I couldn't resist ;)
It's a fucking scam to lure people into the store and buy shit.
As I approach the register, I often get to see their smile morph into a frown as I hand them my receipt and frequent fueler card for stamps.
Humans have a right to life.

corporation! That way, they get their legal personhood at the same time....
That is the sort of monkey business up with which I will not put.
Chimps everywhere rejoice that as a non-person they do not have to file federal income taxes on their daily banana allowance.
You can thank me for this being announced now, because I *just* bought a SSD last week. You're very welcome.

This very thing was done where I live; although this particular scenario was caught.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were others that got away with such schemes.
Ha, ha! What morons! They might've gotten away with it if they weren't so "clever" as to use 666.
Thanks for the link. It was good for a laugh.
This is why the lotto should stick to the time-proven technology of a giant cage of numbered balls rolling down a chute.
