Welcome to life, dude. You cant protect yourself from everything. It's getting to the point where one can't do much of anything without researching and obeying a boatload of regs and buying expensive insurance in order to protect the involved parties from lawsuits based on those laws. It's too top heavy.
An immunity disorder as massive as you suggest is a death sentence, vaccinated populace or not. I assume you worry about being struck by micrometeorites too? I also suppose you can argue without ad hominem attacks? After all, such rampant emotionalism in place of reason WOULD be the typical 'socialist commie' thing to do.
These are the kinds of politicians that need to be excised from their positions, regardless of party or affiliated ideology. They are supposed to treat their positions as duties, not twist the law to justify committing 'end justifies means' immoral acts out of self interest.
Perhaps you should tell women the same thing, that playing the victim role gets you nowhere...unless of course you've got a whole class of people who are willing to prop you up (ie white knight pussies like yourself). I see no equality in that whatsoever.
That's the price we pay for freedom. We can't assume other computers are clean, so we take responsibility for defending our own. We don't assume the people near us are disease free, so we don't share food utensils. When we shake hands with them, we assume we should wash later. We don't put our fingers in our mouths or touch our faces and we wash before we eat. Beyond that, there isn't much you can do besides keeping yourself in good health. That alone is your best defense. More nannying centralization is not.
The kind of bureaucratic micromanagement some here are suggesting is its own form of disease. All those people should move to some socialist hellhole...where, ironically, there's no money for any sort of consistent vaccination program. At least they have their bureaucracy to make them 'feel' safer.
This isn't a case of whether vaccines work or don't work, or whether they cause neurological damage. The issue is dominion over one's own body. The group doesn't always get priority over the individual.
Gait is largely determined by bone and joint structure, which is quite different for men and women. It is not determined by culture. This attempt by the left to completely separate cultural and biological differences and hold the environment responsible for every difference is childish reasoning at best, and duplicitous at worst. The biology defines different 'startup states' for the sexes, and from there, the environment and individual choice alter things, but the outcomes will more often than not follow similar tracks due to sex. Men gravitate towards certain activities/choices/environments and away from others. Women do the same, with different preferences. The differences between the sexes are not that different in scope than those between two different species of the same family tree. This is ok. It's called diversity.
No, these days it's seen as a bad thing if you have a penis and it is expected that we celebrate those who have vaginas, no matter how mundane the accomplishment (if there's any at all).
It would ask about them all up front on first run. If the user changes his mind, he can go back into the would-be 'app security control panel' and change as needed.
No.. healthcare is not a right. It is a privilege. Why? because other people have to work to provide it to you. Same thing with education. This is why the statist systems fall apart: they strip away the individual's motivation to work hard and do his best.
Thus fairness is people who earn the right to ACCESS the privilege, ie they have sufficient money. Republicans are big statists too, they just want welfare directed at corporations while the left wants it directed at people they've labeled as "oppressed" so that they have more kids. This ensures a voter block into the future.
Applications shouldn't be 'asking' for permission. They should just attempt access. The security configuration for each service or resource should have three settings: reject (with api notification), deny (return success but with bogus/user entered data), or allow (work as intended), for each application. The default should be reject, with a first time startup prompt (from the OS, not the app) when the app starts. This way a user retains his dominion over the device and what it does with network IO. For example, he can use an app that demands access to location information when it doesn't really need to. The user should own the android device and applications, not the other way around.
Of course this would break the market and surveillance imperatives of google, app developers, and the state. Fuck them.
Then it's time to stop what you're doing. People's rights are more important hiding politicians' (and their benefactors') dirty laundry. What you're doing is undermining the fundamental principles that separate western democracy from the dark ages.
Actually it is. It's ok to discriminate based on sex. Doctors do it all the time because of differing physiology. Women also have different clothing because of their breasts and hips. It's ok to be different. It's called diversity. The problems start when certain political ideologues decide what parts of diversity should be celebrated and what parts should be penalized as oppressive.
You have a confused conception of history. In the bad old days, BOTH men and women were treated as slaves.
No, today we've moved on to a society that encourages individuals with little resource to manically reproduce at the expense of those intelligent enough to see the growing negative and falling positive incentives (especially for men nowadays) for doing so. It really is becoming a hypergamous idiocracy.
You're confusing empathy with sexual desire. Such guys are often friendzoned. That 'idiot' bully has probably already slept with a few of them.
..or just not have the unneeded complexity and avoid the costly recalls. A metal cable and spring prevents an out of control throttle much more reliably than a computer running complex software.
I think it's more a function of how you learned to drive.. I find ABS counterintuitive. I realize most do not. As far as airbags go, I really don't care. I'd rather have them as options. Those who want them would then be free to pay for them. I'd like to knock 5 to 10k off the cost of the vehicle. Those multi airbag systems are expensive, and if they go off from a minor fender bender, it can push the insurance company to total an otherwise perfectly good car.
It's interesting that you bring up this statistic, because, to hear the self-driving car crowd talk, we're all mass murdering lunatics behind the wheel.

I'll pass on your over paranoid, over centralized, over sanitized, overregulated society.. jesus fucking christ..
Not just the parents. The whole culture has become crazy risk adverse, timid, and passive aggressive.

I agree, it is dumb. There are suckers who'll pay it though.
That's what the quadro line is for.

This is why mandating insurance coverage by law turns it into tyranny. Let people face the music.
Then why post on slashdot? Perhaps neowin is better for you?
err.. Mesa has formed the basis of opengl support in linux since the 90s.. It's still used today.
Yes, that's true. It doesn't prove that this was the case in this case. You could say the same thing about toyota.
Unfortunately, this is the only way to reconcile the existence of both sexes with political correctness. This is why it's so toxic to both.
They paid for their bandwidth and he paid for his.. Now they want him to pay for theirs too? Who's the cheap motherfucker again?
..or just not have the unneeded complexity and avoid the costly recalls. A metal cable and spring prevents an out of control throttle much more reliably than a computer running complex software.
Quite a leap, no?
