It would be nice if they hired delivery drivers who could read. The few times I've had packages being delivered by DHL, they've always delivered to the wrong address. Even USPS gets it right more often than that.
You're right to boycott fast food kiosks. A recent test of the touchscreens at McDonald's locations in the UK showed that every one of them had poop on the screen, specifically human gut bacteria.
My doctor's office uses touchscreen kiosks for check-in. The next time I'm there I'm going to ask if they've checked those screens for bacteria and viruses, and how often they clean the screens. You'd think doctors would see the danger before the general public, but you never know.
Yes, and it proves that American workers can make good cars for a reasonable price, but they're generally not union workers.
That's the story behind Detroit's problems that nobody wants to admit -- union workers making tons of money, union workers hard to fire for substandard work, and a shitload of substandard work.
Want to buy a good American-made car? Come to Alabama; we make thousands of them. And before somebody says something about the workers making low wages here, they need to talk to those happy workers.
I was in an area yesterday that had absolutely no cell service at all, and I'm not talking about being out in the wilderness. I was parked right outside of a doctor's office! Plus, I go a lot of places where all I can get is plain old 3G or even less.
If you want to talk about spiraling debt, you should have seen it explode during the eight years of 0bama! So far the debt added under Trump is nothing compared to what was added before he took office, though he's on pace to nearly equal it.
Granted, neither party gives a damn about how high the debt goes. Lowering it would mean cutting a lot of stuff Americans love and that would be political suicide for the party that tried it.
A few years from now when the shit hits the fan, everybody will be asking themselves why they were so stupid to let this happen.
"This autoupdating crap means that any given morning, my box may be broken in very strange ways, with little if any perceivable benefit."
You could very well say that about automobiles -- This autoupdating crap means that any given morning, my car may be broken in very strange ways, with little if any perceivable benefit.
Now extend that to autonomous cars and you can see the hell that would break loose, either because millions of people could not get to work that morning or there would be cars breaking down all over the highways causing massive traffic jams.
Software is software and a LOT of it is not ready for prime time.
You'll have to forgive them. They think the whole country is like their big city, with public transportation and ride-sharing services everywhere. When I look out of my front door I see TREES, not wall-to-wall concrete.
My work today was 95 miles from home. Nearest grocery store to my home is 7 miles. My doctor's office is 12 miles away. Our office is 23 miles. Last Saturday I went to see a youth football game that was 52 miles from home. And all of this is "local".
I'm sure there are residents of other states who live in more spread out areas than I do. The people posting here have no clue how big the country is.
It's not just the privacy issues that keep me from using Google Photos. It's the fact that Google has a history of starting a service and then some time down the road, ending that service. I certainly wouldn't risk having the only copy of a photo hosted "in the cloud" like a lot of people do. With Google's free stuff, you always get what you pay for.
I keep copies on at least two of my computers, copies on an external hard drive, and pay real money for space to keep them online.
Do you think that the United States is the only country where tobacco grows?!? Banning tobacco here would just create a huge black market. How's that "war on drugs" going nowadays?
Correct, but the problem is that when you publish something so sensational that it grabs the public's attention, you better make sure it's right. Now we're left with millions of people who remember the original claim and very few who ever hear the correction. Years from now people will still be quoting the original study and using it as part of their agenda. We don't need that, do we?

If you made alcohol on the Moon using an illegal still, would the product be called "earthshine"?

They are really obscene!
Yes, "improving" the Start menu on Windows 10 really is putting lipstick on a pig.
AI will tell them to deport all Muslims, and then all hell will break loose.

I thought they did that just to irritate people. It certainly worked with me - I never click on those, so they're hurting themselves by doing it.

"Shit as a Service" is maybe the best, most accurate description I've ever read about Microsoft's current operating system.
When my Windows 7 goes tango uniform, it sure as hell won't be replaced with anything from Microsoft.
That's the usual response from an idiot when he doesn't have the facts on his side. Care to be civilized for a change?
Tell 'em to leave early or they'll be very, very late!

The question is, can Ford remove the bullshit smell from their decision to harvest and sell data from their customers?

But I'd like to see a little more contrast, on my phone and on my computer. Is that asking too much, Google?
I usually know where I am and where I'm going, but I'd like to be able to see a map once in a while just to see what's around me.

Then we need to change the law on the Federal level. Get convicted of ANY felony and lose your pension. Put some fear in their heads!
Don't confuse them with facts when all they have is emotion.
How many times do we have to go through this before people finally learn? How many more millions have to die before we put a stop to it?
