This was all covered in The Dark Knight. If someone goes to Russia and grabs this guy and drops him off at the FBI then they can charge him with whatever they like. I think that's what they're counting on.
Bullshit. So you hear your detcom call "GAS GAS GAS" and your response is 'Just hold up a sec'. Drop trou. Pull out rag. Overcome stage fright. Shit there's gas. Gotta piss NOW. It's not happening. Grab canteen. Gas everywhere. Take long swig of water. Ah. Gas filling lungs. Take long piss on handkerchief. Dead due to gas inhalation. Grab handkerchief. Hold over face. You died 30 seconds ago.
Today I decided I finally had enough of Google's spying and changed my default search engine to DuckDuckGo. It took about 5 seconds. Yeah, it will take some getting used to having different results and all but I feel incredibly free after having made the switch. If I change my email from Gmail then I will have completely severed myself from Google. So how solid, really, is Google's position? It's an ad company. An increasingly evil ad company. I've got one leg out of their cage and only need to pull out my other leg.
Who's to say consoles will even be a thing in 10 years? I wouldn't be surprised if computers and TVs converge entirely in the near future making consoles obsolete. Want a game? Stream one to your TV from Steam. No consoles required.
Life is pretty rare in the Universe
Source?
I'd be shocked if we didn't find life in the oceans of Jupiter's moons, if we ever bothered to go there.
Direct observation. Anything other than evidence based science is just you daydreaming. Besides, even if life was found elsewhere in this solar system that wouldn't be enough to change the general premise that life is pretty rare in the Universe. When all is said and done, as of 2015, life has only been observed on one planet, in one system, in one galaxy in the entirety of the Universe. You can't even point to evidence of past civilizations. But I guess it's only been 14 billion years give or take. Give them some time. They'll show. In all honesty though, if life was as common as you assert then shouldn't we see colonies and ships by now? It'd only take 1 civilization to decide to colonize our galaxy. Mathematically, they could have done it in 50 million years without FTL travel. So where are they?
Well, putting 'terrorist' in quotes isn't helpful. I think it's pretty well understood that there *are* terrorists and a lot of them and they're walking among us. But I do agree that that's no reason to track every John Q Public and store the information. It's the storing and processing that bothers me. If the government is just watching the crowd and identifying people because they're searching for them then I'm okay with that. If they start building a database that tracks me over a lifetime then I have a problem.
Having your brand attached to four funerals is *outstanding* publicity when the funerals are those of the first 4 people on Mars. You're naive to think otherwise. Imagine an alternate universe where Coca-Cola put the first man on the Moon. Even if they were stranded there Coca-Cola is in every history book in the world until the end of time.
One problem: woodpeckers also peck in order to communicate and claim territory. The kid made a guess and got lucky on part of it. He did not make further observations or improve on his theory. He blurted something out which was half correct and his teacher did nothing to improve his answer. Where is the guidance? I would have asked the child why he thought that and how could we be sure and why else might the woodpecker be pecking at the wood? There's no critical thinking there; no learning.
Also implies that it's in my pocket when I'm about to go for a run and it most certainly isn't. They're too big, too heavy, and too fragile to take with me when running. They flop around in your pocket (if you even have a pocket) and they get covered in condensation. A case won't help because it only adds to the weight and condensation occurs inside the case anyway.
What's the problem? I often have my 2 year old toddler housesit when my 98 year old grandfather would otherwise be home alone. It works well. If anyone asks I just tell 'em the big one is watching the little one.
For every character that's added to the Marvel Cinematic Universe you get one more reason to ask "Why doesn't "X" get off his ass and help out?" For example, what is Thor doing during any of the Captain American movies? He doesn't even physically have to be there; just blink your eyes and the bad guys disappear. Marvel is for children.
I would have agreed with you but the current enemy doesn't care if he gets "nuked." You can't reason with them and death isn't a deterrent but a reward.
You're right. That *is* the reality. So why is this Ubuntu phone trying to pretend that it isn't? Maybe this approach would work if Internet access was ubiquitous and cheap. Unfortunately it's portioned out normally in packages of less than a GB a month and costs a fortune.
That's great. I'll explain that to Joe Sixpack and Grandma Q Apron and I'm sure they'll understand why their new phone has "scopes" instead of "apps." Trainwreck.

Life is rare??? really? based on what?
Direct observation.

Pro-tip: Everybody is 100% guaranteed to die.
You know what's really sad? The USA spent $1 trillion on the war in Iraq. How many Mars colonies does that buy you?

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that that's exactly what Apple wants to do.
In this construction it would be "fewer" not "less."
Headline should read "Thanks to Dijkstra's warning, GOTO in practice not harmful."

I think he means "quashing dissent."
Seems like this is more of a PR move. Netflix grabs a few headlines courtesy the MSM and Cuba gets Netflix in theory but not in practice.

Sure was. My DVD remote still has the Angle button. I can't recall a single title that used it.
