I have a D900T clone. Installing was a PITA - it has an odd disk controller and you have to load drivers from a floppy - and it took some fiddling to get wifi & sound to work. Also, it uses about 97 different sizes of screws. (A stinkpad has about two). That's on Centos 6.5. The one stumbling block is that I can't get it to suspend/hibernate, but that aside, it works great.
It dual boots Win7, which was equally problematic in different ways.
And I'm going to have to do it all again, because I didn't get the partition sizes right. Truly my cup runneth over.
Privacy is nothing to do with it. Convictions, for example, are a matter of public record.
I know because I was a naughty boy doing too much vroom-vroom in my pap-pap once and it was in the local paper. There's no doubt copies of it around somewhere - certainly the paper itself will have an archive as will some libraries. Wouldn't be surprised if my gran kept one. If I was in France could I demand they all be shredded?
It's struck me, too, how the trash collection vehicles that come by my house are mostly piloted robots already; the humans are there to deal with problems and control the joysticks, but hydraulic arms lift and empty the garbage containers themselves.
Piloted robots? You mean machines? By that logic the self-driving car has been here for a century, since you don't have to put your feet through the floor and push.
Accounting? Just adding numbers up. Programming? Just typing (usually with too many semicolons) Law? Just standing up and talking. Medicine? They just prod you a bit and try some pills, and if those don't work they try some other one. Teaching? Same as law, except they believe what they're saying more than half the time.
If Rommel had won at El Alamein, he'd have been able to capture Alexandria. At that point his supply situation becomes vastly easier, whereas the remains of the 8th Army who've buggered off into Sudan or Ethiopia are living on what and being supplied from where?
But what happens when Jesus dies? Bear in mind that he's done it before, though only temporarily. What then? Wait a year and a day, just in case he comes round?
It's utterly ridiculous that the law isn't 100% straight on these things, and this, along with rock and roll, is why the Chinese are eating our lunch.

Is that what he wrote? No it's not, so shut the fuck up and drink your shandy.
That's pretty much it. He had to water it down so congress would pass it, and in the spirit of bipartisanship he went along with it.
He should have insisted it was done properly, or not at all.
Presumably VW found a way to make it so the faults only arise after the warranty period, because otherwise it would cost them money to fix it.
Bloody clever, these German engineers.

All of that, plus what's wrong with the one you've already got?

Terrible. How will we cope without them?
Unless you're Putin, Berlusconi or Mugabe.
No we don't, fatty.
Hey! That was uncalled-for!

Looks like Joe_Dragon's forgot his password.
Isn't that, in itself, dishonest?
Maybe they should be forced to take a polygraph test. Those things are wonderful, even the FBI says so!
I'm sure the libertardians have a solution to that. Probably involving the ripped-off person going round and shooting him.
Actually, $MySubject is hard.

You just have to see if any of the pixels are wrong. Oh, and flags on the moon should hang down.
Why the hell did his parents give him a name like that?
You mean they issued an RMA?
At first I thought it could mean they're Boy Scouts, but on looking they're both holding guns in their right hands.
The two things are sort of related, though.

Bizarre. The first thing I remember is watching the moon landings, though in my case I refused to go to bed. I was nearly three.
I'm sure the Trumpmeister will put an end to this competition-stifling communism.
Got to be careful. A lot of these donations are on a matching basis, so they can end up actually pulling money from other areas.
How about we start with the one who taught you English?
They don't even sound the fucking same, you thick ignorant pillock.
