What if a radio DJ makes a shocking announcement and he knows or has special reason to know someone may be listing while driving?
Trust me, I agree with the previous comments. You can't regulate this because it is ultimately the driver's responsibility.
HOWEVER, it does annoy me to no end when radio ads use sirens to get your attention. Radio has a huge following for people driving... drivers are suppose to be aware of emergency vehicles... the radio should not be using FALSE ALARMS in this manner.
It desensitizes drivers... oh that... I thought it was the radio again. Now that should be regulated!
I've been on slashdot, fark, reddit... and no matter how one-sided an argument is there is always a small group of enablers or sympathizers for the other side.
Cop beats a black guy to death for running away -- I guess shouldn't have run from a cop; guilty or not... Someone accidentally cuts off a car; other driver road rages and smashes out the windows -- should be a more careful driver then... Child dies from malnutrition because vegan mother only eats fruit or some shit -- it is a personal decision how to raise your kids...
I scanned through the comments... and holy shit. There is no one defending this obvious cover-up. I don't know if public opinion is changing, people are fed up with government abuse... but Snowden might just be that piece of straw.
Page 9 of the slides show the locations of the 150 servers. It appears they have servers in Russia and China. I wonder how those nations feel about this?
I eat insects occasionally and at first it does take a bit of willpower to get past the grossness of it.
If you grind them up like meal worms in flower then it's much easier.
1. I'm sure the ruling class are going to dive head first into this trend. But they sure will appreciate the momentary dip in meat prices when foodstamps are only valid for insects. After all it is the economical thing to do. 2. I can say one thing for certain... there aren't enough poor assholes on this planet to be exploited. Hopefully, these new food sources allow us to expand the population... especially in poor regions. 3. My ethics tell me... eat the rich first. The insects are a backup plan.
Fifteen years ago, you (and 95% of my fellow techies) would've said I was tinfoil hat material. (I may be a visionary but I'm fucking tired of being right.)
There isn't much point fighting the natural cycle. Government gains too much power, becomes oppressive... people revolt... form new government... repeat.
I thought you could break the cycle but people literally have an animal instinct to be told what to do. When I was younger I thought people were naive, but even as I got older I heard educated adults say: "I'm not doing anything wrong so I have nothing to hide". Actual educated adults that should know better.
I was born and lived during a time of freedom so I can be thankful for being at the right part of the cycle AND that is all. If young people don't pick up the fight that is literally their loss. In fact, I'm of the opinion now that we may as well accelerate the process. Let's just take away people freedom so people finally get the point. We can try to hold on to dwindling freedom or we can aim for a revolution and a new start.
...nothing is changed, other than the Forest service doesn't get new ranger trucks this year, or the Coast Guard runs obsolete cutters for another year past their life expectancy (which expired 25 years ago).
How is that ineffective? The more the government shits on people, the more it contributes to public dissent, the more public dissent and malcontent the closer people come to snapping. It really saddened me when the government stepped in with TARP money. Sure they stopped a major financial crisis, but I wanted to see some CEOs being drawn and quartered as a deterrent for future CEOs.
Storage isn't a problem, it's the cheapest part of the equation. Energy consumption is the biggest technical challenge due to the global domination of mobile devices and the current limitations in energy storage.
The summary talks about an increase in CPU usage. If they use a dedicated H.265 chips in the future (much like they use H.264 chips now) can they not optimize the hardware to minimize CPU and power use? I'm just wondering from the perspective of mobile/phone users if H.265 is going to dominate or will H.264 still be the standard for mobile.
Your first thought might be "boy this would be easily solved by one massive bright light affixed somewhere high up"
During my limited time spent outdoors I think I've seen what you speak of. Except it was a blinking light with a period of about 24 hours. Also, it hurt my pale skin...
I have one hand on the leash, another on the flashlight, and then somehow manage to scoop the poop....especially in the rain while trying to balance an umbrella.
My floodlights are on motion sensor, however. It helps cut down on the obnoxiousness.
You should purchase my patent pending "pooper-scooper with a light" in one handy device. It has gun style mounts so you can change from light, to laser sighting, to scope... just in case the dog poops out of range.
I would hope the answer is 'No'. Not after that little incident in 1962 anyway. I would hope that the CIA/NSA/Pentagon would make it their business to know exactly what kind of military technology is moving into/out of that country. Or they are not doing their f*king job, in my opinion.
Screw looking for online porn and tax havens. Keep an eye on the people with the nukes.
Maybe you haven't heard. But the NSA has had their hands full spying on American citizens.
It's hard to imagine Mattrick was a scapegoat given that he implicated himself by defending so rabidly the DRM policies in interviews to the extent of insulting customers. I very much doubt his orders were "Don, go make a dick of yourself in public".
I think we can all agree we've coined the new term: "scapedick":)
scapegoat - In modern usage a scapegoat is an individual, group, or country singled out for unmerited negative treatment or blame. scapedick - An individual, group or country singled out for unmerited negative treatment or blame; then accepting the blame, and overly going along with the plan against them to the point of looking like a dick
Is there any rational point to your comparison of scale? It doesn't seem to me that "he could have killed tens or hundreds of thousands; therefore 3 dead and over 200 injured do not count" is very rational.
Uhh.. yes, he could have killed tens or hundreds of thousands... if he had a fucking weapon of mass destruction... but since he did not, he only killed 3 people. See, WMD = lots of deaths hence the word "MASS", non-WMD = few deaths.
Now if you set off an atomic bomb in in a crowded city and ONLY kill 3 people, then we can come back and re-visit the issue; but that won't happen because an atomic bomb causes... MASS DESTRUCTION. Now do you see the fucking difference!?
Of course, we were at war, and a war that we didnt even start and took pains to stay out of, so I think there might be some difference there.
This is a discussion over the classification of the Boston Bombers bomb as a "Weapon of Mass Destruction". I gave you a concrete example of the number of deaths caused by a Weapon of Mass Destruction; which was 2,200,000% FUCKING GREATER.
Of what consequence does "being at war" have with the destructive power of an atomic bomb vs. the destructive power of a pressure cooker. Unless you think 2 million is a statistical anomaly?
Ohhh... I see what happened you got confused about what the debate was, and started rationalizing that 3 American lives were still greater than 66,000 nips. Please, continue on then, I'd like to see you defend that position. I'll go make some popcorn.
I often wondered how people from eastern block countries have a "don't give a fuck attitude" about everything compared to the west. But it's all making sense. I suppose after generations of the government trying to get you riled up and feeding you shit... you just become desensitized.
At one point a sexual offender was something to get worried about. Now with "pissing in public" being treated the same who really knows. Now a guy can do 10 years in prison... for smoking pot. Writing anti-bank slogans in chalk on a public sidewalk outside a bank... terrorist.
Killing 3 people and maiming 234 using explosives and shrapnel counts as mass destruction in my book. Thanks for asking, though.
I see your 3 and raise you 66,000; looks like you lose.
In 1946, the Manhattan Engineer District published a study that concluded that 66,000 people were killed at Hiroshima out of a population of 255,000. Of that number, 45,000 died on the first day and 19,000 during the next four months. In addition, "several hundred" survivors were expected to die from radiation-induced cancers and lukemia over the next 30 years. (This report is also known as the Oughterson Commission study.)
At least the median income in Australia is still A$66,820*
The Chinese haven't quite sucked out the marrow yet.
I thought the AUS/CAN/US dollar were roughly on par. Does this imply a household income of > 100K (with both parents working)? If not then the housing boom really is unsustainable!

And once you bought a book (with your own credit card), and then decide afterwards that you want to put it out there for pirates, suddenly, you realize that it's not such a good idea.
You realize it's not such a good idea... and 3/4 of a second later you just download it from another source. So you've really accomplished little.
Has Apple's similar approach impacted music piracy?
"Apple embeds your account information in all songs sold on the store, not just DRM-free songs. Previously it wasn't much of a big deal, since no one could imagine users sharing encrypted, DRMed content. But now that DRM-free music from Apple is on the loose, the hidden data is more significant since it could theoretically be used to trace shared tunes back to the original owner."

Cool, so when does the President go on trial for authorizing the murder of civilians using WMDs?
Before you respond with any of that , "at war blah blah blah" nonsense, keep in mind that Congress has not declared war on Pakistan.

If I still have to have an approved OS and browser and install a DRM plugin, it's not really just HTML5.
Oh wow, we swapped one plugin for another.
An IE specific plugin for video... wait a second.. ActiveDivX?... anyone.. anyone..
Someday these will be completely automated. Insert in eye, it does a thorough inspection, figures out what's wrong, and fixes it.
Please, don't limit your imagination like that. Inserting something in your eye is so barbaric.
Now imagine... someday these will be completely automated. Insert magnetically controlled robot in your ass....
