I'm simply suggesting that there's a reason most countries have an "ignorance of the law is no excuse" attitude, otherwise everyone would pick and choose. Drones are going to be used almost exclusively for crime; moving drugs around, shining lasers at planes remotely, spying on people who are in their own property etc, firing projectiles at people, dispersing poisons. Fine, you might think these things are all ok, or that they're reasonable risks compared with the fun of..uh.. flying drones around pointlessly, but I don't. Rich kids'll soon find another toy to play with.
I think they'll be in enforced. If you're not sure, fly one and see if your door gets kicked in and you get a gun shoved in your face. If so, then you're in the zone.
It's sort of ironic that Obama doesn't want drones near him; then again, he knows the risks so perhaps it makes sense. Expect more no-fly zones to follow. You'll probably end up with very few areas where they're allowed in a couple of years, and expect laws preventing them from flying more than a few feet away from the controller, and which mandatory online "i'm flying here" messages being sent out on the net, and local police checking that these are being sent correctly if they see you using a drone. This sort of stuff is trivial to police.
You need need the heartache of a vm, with all the "tamagotchi" handholding that entails. Right now i can install wine, then an app, and...done. It works. I don't want to have to buy a copy of windows 7/xp/whatever, keep it patched all the time (boring), no i don't want windows 8, no i don't want to reboot etc etc.
How much data is yours and can't be replaced? Music/movies etc is online and can only be downloaded more and more quickly. photos/videos? Well, are you keeping a lot of crap you'll never look at again? No-one else is going to look at it; when you die all that crap's going into big black plastic bags or will be formatted and used to store someone else's music. Might as well clear up all the duplicates, blurred photos, pointless video and keep the good shit - the stuff you ever want to see again - safe. USB keys are the safest bet and they're really cheap now (128 gigs for £23 and falling). Get a handful of those and as the price drops move the data onto the next size up. All your most important data can be kept literally in a small, old sock (so it's safe and dry) in a drawer somewhere.
And for fucks sake, get rid of windows (run it in a vm if you have to) and use linux so that you're safe from the whole virus/malware thing. That shit is old.
Always people sitting around doing fuck all, criticising others. "Personally, if I'd earned billions of dollars and was going to spend it on other people, I'd do it this way".
Generalise? It captures what's going on frequently enough that it's causing problems for everyone. Nothing wrong with generalising when observing trends.
First you get the money. Then you don't care about opinion. Because money pays for food and stuff. And opinion is just the sequence of words in people's tweets/facebook pages etc. It really doesn't amount to very much.
Dude, a million+ people have died in Iraq alone as a result of Bush's invasion. All the key isis people are ex-iraqis, recruiting younger, dimmer but more excitable people from everywhere else. That's what's manufactured this situation. Not a few websites. Watch "four lions" - the fuckers are everywhere.
Difference is, Apple found a way of making money out of their tech. Everyone's dumping Microsoft stuff, hence the panic to open source the compilers etc.
Sadly, chrome on android doesn't support plugins. What, i'm going to look at ads, suffer trackers and run whatever javascript any twat wants me to? No, that's not for me, thanks. The "chrome is fast" this is old, too. Used to be relevant, when all other browsers were slow, sucky pieces of shit but they've upped their game. Is chrome still the fastest? Don't care - firefox is plenty fast enough.
It would be a strange choice indeed to go from Google to bing. I chose DuckDuckGo. Literally the only thing I miss is time related search (ie search for results in the last 48 hours).

"I would like to turn into PDFs (or other similarly portable format)"
What is it about PDF files which you think makes it portable? You'd be better off with PNG format.
You think one day it'll be impossible for a device more advanced than today's to handle a format books were stored in?

They did it somewhere, I heard about that too. I'm too lazy to google though, as it's not important.
The pronunciation of "should of" and "should've" is extremely close.

FUCK OFF! Nobody cares!

You'd be better off wishing you'd inherited better taste from you parents, what with there being nothing wrong with stock android 5 or 6.
Just saying....
Exactly. What's the difference between "a database of muslims" and "a database of everyone which contains info including religion"?

Internet or the internet? There's only one, so Internet. "I'm going on internet" "Well, i'm doing down pub with t'whippets"
Exactly. Won't use any browser that doesn't let me block JavaScript, trackers and ads. Just not going to happen.

I was using pocket anyway; it's a great service and i use it all the time. If you don't like it you can disable it. I'm not seeing the problem here. I

Damn it man, and we were really hoping you'd get behind it. Because you're a really important player in the Linux/gaming scene.
