Cop One: Man it's hot out. Hey look at that guy "wearing a heavy trenchcoat to a large 4th of July event while walking purposely toward the center of the crowd rather than socialing like everyone else"
Cop Two: Maybe he is up to no good. Let's "watch them for a minute."

Cop One: Shit! Why didn't some three-letter-agency deal with that? Now I've got a lot of paper work to do...
But still, it might be ok if the covered courses are useful, and not just "community organizer" type courses. That is to say, something that will train for a marketable skill.
This app would come with a feature that completely erases itself and any record that you even considered using it. This kicks in if you don't positively identify that you are still alive and coherent every 6 hours. The lawyers would make sure this feature is present.
Since you might be using this app in the wilderness, while you are foraging, there are some sister apps you might like; one that estimates if you can jump that ravine, and another that tells you if there are enough handholds on that cliff face for climbing...
Modern humans are most likely less than 250K years old... Neanderthals went extinct "only" 30K years ago... who knows what will be around in 250K+ years?
Oh, wait, is this what they call a hypothetical question?

It is all fun and games until the lawyers come knocking at your door.

There are probably lots of words you don't know. It's OK. Even I don't know ALL the words, so I look them up in a DICTIONARY.
They could have used the word "comb", but you don't get paid the big research bux if you use common-folk terminology.
My grandmothers* are both dead, you insensitive clod!
* I had two. If you you only had one grandmother, my condolences, all the more so.
Well, actually... they probably are, but the applications they run no longer solve engineering problems, they...
Oh! Shiny! sorry, I need to go buy something, this online offer is limited duration!
I don't have caller id - I've saved multiple thousands of dollars by not adding it to my (*cough*) land line service.
Of course, I never answer that line either... it is for receiving (*cough*) faxes, and making outgoing calls.

To paraphrase B. Franklin... "You have privacy, if you can keep it."
And I didn't sign no stinking pledge. What makes you think what *I* think is up to you any more?
As in somebody else pays for it...

Any old building that is in disrepair due to neglect, wasn't worth saving. Q.E.D.
You imply it is a waste to build a cheaper building, while one could argue it is a waste to over build, and commit to future expenses.
Buildings have a useful lifetime, and become prohibitively expensive... obsolete plumbing, electrical, heating cooling, insulation.
Bah, lemme go see if the company beer fridge is still stocked.

Evolution works - let's see what's next!
We are all guilty of three felonies a day (google it), and traffic laws (not all laws) are in place to keep us safe... when appropriate.
The problem with automated speeding tickets is that, many times (i.e. no other traffic) there is no safety issue to speeding.
Sounds like another money grab for the overpaid government employee system.
Oh, you mean my personal Netflix gadget.
I use it (google nexus 7) because the battery lasts a long time, it is portable, and it is specifically NOT my phone.
I thought the dinosaurs own flatulence did them in. Huh.

We're throwing tech into these cars for the sake of tech.. not functionality.
They are throwing tech into these care for the sake of profit margins... not functionality.

(Cost of Government) / (Number of Citizens) = the fair tax per citizen.
Anything else is unfair, but necessary simply because not everyone can afford their fair share.
The tax code boils down to extracting unfair amounts of money from whomever can pay, muddied by the politics of helping friends and punishing enemies.
Sadly, politicians have a disincentive to keep a "reasonable" Cost of Government.
Change the battery? Why would you want to do that? Throw that piece of shit out and buy the NEW one!!!
