That's what I was thinking. Last thing we want is to convert it to more CO2. It's better to leave it in the landfill until global warming is sorted at least.
The planet is turning into a desert from lack of available carbon for plant growth.
Who's worming their way out? Sounds like the prosecutors are trying to make a case that won't get thrown out. You can't just make up law as you go along because it's morally wrong.
Ummm... wtf. Did you just curse people of the US to be stuck with IPhones despite most of us picking androids? That cold, cold and cruel.
Apple tech is definitely more appropriate for socialist communist mentality with a central authority deciding what is best for everyone. Android is the wild wild west of the mobile OS world and everyone has the right to bear arms. If anything the US would definitely be android and Europe would be the bastion of the IPhone. If Apple isn't the phone counterpart to the BBC I don't know what is.
You'd think so but with the injunctions on behalf of Apple against Samsung you might find that no one wants to sell you android phones any more:P
The US will build their OWN 5G network. With Blackjack. And hookers. In fact, forget compatibility.
The US will adopt a closed standard, with royalties, that will work only in the US. That'll keep the eurotrash out.
And the only smartphones available for sale in the USA will be iPhones. Apple will trumpet their growth and market domination. Samsung will breath a sigh of relief that they don't have to even bother selling phones in the USA cos of Apples injunctions. The rest of the world will be happy and the USA will be a lovely walled garden of 'freedom' and 'democracy'.
Volkswagen needs to replace all models concerned with a brand new compliant car.
Sure thing, buddy. We'll just bankrupt the entire nation of Germany, that'll really make the rest of the world a Happy Place for everyone. Would you like to detonate a nuclear bomb somewhere in the Middle East while you're at it? How about have the U.S. CIA assassinate Vladimir Putin and Bashar Al-Assad and publicly take credit for it while we're at it? I'm curious, AC, is this remarkable level of stupidity of yours a natural talent, or did you go to a special Academy of Moronic Skills to learn to be this fucking stupid?
Well, last time Germany was bankrupted it ultimately led to the USA's ascendancy and expansionism and the formation of the state of Israel. If that hadn't happened the USA might still be insular and inward focussed taking little interest in global politics. My what a paradise such a world would be. For the rest of us.
"but a motocyclist doesn't have to wear a helmet."
This is somewhat misleading. Almost every state in the U.S. has some type of motorcycle helmet law: http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topic...
For the states with "partial" laws, this is usually the requirement that the rider maintain a $10,000 insurance policy, as well as an age requirement.
The helmets I've seen people riding around with, on motorbikes, here in Canada are typically pathetic and wouldn't protect your head any better than a baseball cap. Just padded beanies.
You rarely see people wearing a helmet that would be legal in Europe or, for that matter, riding a motorbike thats better than a toy.
You cannot accuse much less convict people for something they haven't done yet. Once you do that, we're at despotism and there's nothing stopping them from convicting you or me for whatever reason. The laws have already been pushed too far. Why do you think it's time to abandon them? How likely are you to die in a "terror" event?
The whole point of the law is to ensure that everyone is guilty of something. That way, whenever you want to get some particular individual there is always something to catch him on.
You don't have to convict people for something they haven't done yet; theres always something they've done.
Why do you think there are so many laws and no one can be sure they aren't breaking one?
Apple has a history of telling you want you want, not asking you what you want. However, that process seems to work for them. Apple won't necessarily get things wrong. However, there is a lot they would have to get right. I wouldn't expect Apple to fail outright, but they will have to work hard and likely expect to operate at a loss before succeeding.
Apple's cash on hand figures are mind boggling. Over 200 Billion.
Yes. 0.2 Terabucks. More than most governments.
So they could probably fill a gigantic pit with money if they wanted to.
Unfortunately I doubt they could actually fill a pit with money. Most of the 'money' is only 'on paper' (or rather based on agreements, stocks, shares, bonds etc) and not literally actual money.
90% of the 'money' probably couldn't even be converted into actual cash even if Apple wanted to.
Icar Base model will only go 10miles and cost $90,000 for $1000 more you can get an Icar that will go 50miles for $10,000 more you can get the high end Icar that can go 150miles on a charge.
The battery is not replaceable.
The built in gps will use apple maps.
All of your tesla friends will call you silly for paying more for a car that can't go as far and to this you can reply: Oh yeah? Well I got a Icar 6S. Its SHINY! And it works with my Iphone,Iwatch,Ipad,Ipod,Itv and Itoaster. Can your tesla S share photos through air drop? Didn't think so.
But you'll be able to use the Tesla as USB storage for files other than ones Apple consider media files.
This explains the decline of the station wagon then.
Its probably not covered by the emissions exemptions that SUV and pickups get, yeah. So the car manufacturers don't even try to sell station wagons; because they'd have to pay extra emissions surcharges.
The $18B doesn't cover the cost of 500,000 customers who not only got ripped off, but also were exposed to dangerous levels of harmful fumes. This is a torts lawyer wet dream.
Just being in the USA is a torts lawyers wet dream.
Your first mistake was being an asshole. How do I know? Because people, as a rule, are lazy. I'm lazy. You're lazy. We're all lazy. So why, I'm forced to ponder, are so many people intent on fucking with you that it overcomes their natural laziness?
The only answer that makes sense is that you were a raging asshole.
Also likely is that he gave responses that made him an entertaining target. Seeking entertainment also overcomes peoples natural laziness.
Up in the great white north the emissions testing has become an even more blatant money grab as they no longer perform an actual test, they just check ODB codes.
Hey its Canada; what matters is that it is regulated!
Because the whole purpose of the SUV and pickup truck is to evade emissions controls (because they don't apply to 'light commercial vehicles) all SUVs and pickups (not actually used for genuine commercial purposes) are being recalled as well.
What it means for the study of evolution is that, instead of dealing with a nice straightforward tree structure which is easy to explore and search, we find that evolution is actually a graph, complete with cycles and potentially flow in multiple directions. This is a LOT harder to work with.
And this is just retroviral gene transfer. Then theres hybridisation which turns out to happen in nature a LOT more than had been thought. There was a paper a while back that hypotisised that humans could have arisen from a pig-chimp hybrid. This was backed with genetic and physiological evidence and totally wasn't an April fools prank.
Evolution is fucking complicated! No wonder that Darwins 'On the origin of species' never even touched on the subject of how species originate.
Of course the bug is worrisome, but then, I consider the setting that allows it—leaving AirDrop open to everyone—to be a pretty ridiculous personal security flaw. Making one’s phone readily available to connections from random sources for the sole purpose of file drops doesn’t sound like something that should make the least bit of sense to even the average user.
The thing is, the iOS device is supposed to have a secure filesystem so that applications can't even share data via the local filesystem. And you can't just plug an iPhone into a USB port and drop whatever files you want on it, as if it were a USB thumbdrive. So iDevice users have been lulled into this sense of security that they can open up some space on their phone/tablet/iwhatever and that can't be abused, because Apple is so amazingly good at security. Except they aren't so oops.
they'll just have all traffic routed offshore where it can be freely trawled through in a 'constitution free' zone, or else get the Brits to intercept it all as it goes via a British controlled territory...
Theres absolutely no need to route the traffic overseas or through British controlled territory.
All that needs to happen is that the data is transmitted, it doesn't even need to be collected by any US agency.
Then the 5 eyes agreement kicks in; US counterintelligence will not stop the British, Canadian, New Zealand nor Australian intelligence agencies intercepting this data in the USA and then feeding that data to US intelligence agencies.

Earth needs more co2 not less.

The RCMP do this all the time...

The United States will accept the standard when the rest of the world ditches that stupid metric system and go back to real units.
You mean Freedom Units!
So there were canals on mars all this time!

Children are not fully formed human beings.
My experience has been that children start off wanting to be functioning members of society.

Are you a fucking moron? That shit happens all the time. I'll answer my question for you: yes, you are a fucking moron.
Martin Shkreli, is that you???
I don't particularly like Apple, but I'll be fucked hard as the worst Jobs fanboy if I'm going to deny that they're really good at what they do.
Which is take advantage of gullible people, much like shops that cater to audiophiles.
Apple has a history of telling you want you want, not asking you what you want. However, that process seems to work for them. Apple won't necessarily get things wrong. However, there is a lot they would have to get right. I wouldn't expect Apple to fail outright, but they will have to work hard and likely expect to operate at a loss before succeeding.

in order to do my job. Clever of you to see through that.

You trust other politicians??
