On the other hand, since when has it been a human right to go through life free of offense? The world does not, and should not, tiptoe around random individuals and their own personal sense of propriety.
Toughen up, Brits. You're making me damn well ashamed of my ancestry with limp wristed nonsensical horse shit like this.
....like my personal favorite, the 2002. Sure, it can still be stolen using much less sophisticated equipment, but its arguably cooler than many of the modern iterations and a lot easier on your checkbook.
You wind up registering with enough different entities that it would almost be a relief to single source it. Change address with DMV, with employer (who in turn shares it with fed/state/local tax agencies), with public utilities, and the list goes on.
Most of these are required, either by federal, state or local law. At least in the northeast corner of the US, that is.
I don't know the laws in France, but I doubt that a Canadian citizen is subject to them, if not in France.
He should unmask the people on his blog who he's labeled Perpetrators 1-3. Why would you give them the courtesy of anonymity?
Also, seeing as McDonalds originated in the US, I'd be filing any complaints with corporate HQ in Oak Brook, IL. I'm pretty sure corporate HQ can exert pressure on affiliates/franchisees outside the US.
Regulatory pressure with significant fines for noncompliance have a way of working like that. This coupled with customer demands to know where their freight is, and the vast majority of the trucks on the road being owned by large corporations is why you see such good behavior compared with previous years.
My company owned truck is governed at 62 MPH. We don't use the increasingly prevalent GPS tracking or electronic logs, but we toe the line anyway. A few fines for log or equipment violations can bankrupt a small company, render it uninsurable, and generally make life difficult.
Sure, there are still the loose cannons out there, but it is vastly cheaper and easier to comply.
Of all the things this DirecTV suit could say, he goes for the USER INTERFACE? What has been Apple's hands down strong point from day one, or very near to it? I've been a DirecTV subscriber before, and their user interface is ancient, clumsy, non-intuitive, and SLOW. Of all the obstacles facing Apple in combating the entrenched TV industry giants, that is quite possibly the absolute last item in their punchlist. Trust me, Apple isn't sitting up at night wondering "Oh geez, how are we ever going to upstage their UI?".
Now, I'm not a fanboy, don't have an iDevice, but have steadily been a Mac user since the Quadra 840 was king.
My family emigrated here a few hundred years ago. Perhaps we've overstayed and it is time to pull up roots and move along. Vote with our feet, like great granddad.
Cables can be fixed... Just repin the connector and tie half the data lines to 12v (preferably straight off the battery) and the others to ground. Admire the smoke plume emanating from the reading device, that was probably not expecting full battery amperage on its data input lines.
Cue subsequent detention for "tampering with a recording device" though...
I am liking Pixlr-o-matic. Shares with anything, lots of filters and borders. Plus, you don't need yet another login to use it. Also available for Android, iOS, and Chrome.
Nonsense:-) I drive a truck, have forgotten most of my IT related knowledge, and my UID is lower than his. I also have no beard, use a Mac, and have never managed to monetize any IT chops I may have once possessed.
In my defense, I do possess an original boxed set of SCO Xenix manpages and 3.5" diskettes, as well as a copy of the original Softlanding Linux distro on same media.:-)
No, you aren't responsible for the actions of whoever is driving behind you. However it is suicidal to not be aware of what is behind you, as motorcyclists in particular will attest. However, it is becoming less the case that the person rear ending another is automatically at fault.
Case in point: I drive an 18 wheeler. Its equipped with forward facing camera, accelerometers, a radar system ( Eaton VORAD) and fairly extensive datalogging. Don't blindly assume my 80,000 lb. vehicle can stop short if you decide to stop for a stale green, miss your turn or whatever. Unless I am driving like an ass, the data logged by my vehicle systems is admissible in proving I wasn't at fault.
So a kid that attends your school made an offensive video rife with juvenile humour. So what? You say he posted it to Youtube? Wow, what a catastrophe! Now the rest of the world's population who shares his level of humour can laugh with him. So what?
Here's a news flash for you school administration types.... you're not the primary authority figures in this young man's life. You are tasked with teaching him academics and their application, not with guiding his sense of humour into approved channels. Fuck off.
There are plenty of places in Vermont that aren't covered by any cellular provider. And my truck's onboard computer complains it can't find any GPS satellites either.
As sad as it is, in this shit-for-brains society we've created, that's how you protect yourself from raving lunatics frothing at the mouth and screaming "Child molester" if you so much as look at that lost, crying child and ask where mum or dad is.
This Emory guy seems to be a mild dolt, nothing worse. The Muskegon prosecutor on the other hand is a self-aggrandizing prick looking for an easy headline in his favor. Must be an election year.
A truly amusing hack, and one worthy of being called a hack in the first place, would be to get Sony's DNS servers to return the assorted keys. Twitter foolery is just that.

Or, next door to one? And kudos on the literary reference, btw.

I honestly never thought I'd see the day someone had to explain BOFH on slashdot. What is the world coming to?

Hence, the much maligned hipster accessory, the messenger bag. Worn with the strap on the opposite shoulder, the bag is under your hand usually.
Depending on the neighborhood, that may or may not make a difference, though.

... Or two. It might not be for everyone, but it's something I'd like to use for a few random ideas.
I concur.... my 3 and 5 year olds love it. I've got an older Android phone with no service that I keep around for just this reason.
Goodbye Steve, and thanks. I'm gonna go pick up a NeXTcube in your memory.
They do track time between EZPass hits, though enforcement is particularly focused on commercial vehicles.
I picked one of the 32gb ones this morning at a local Wal-Mart. Loving it so far....

Eek. If that's how IT is I'll keep driving a truck at $55k/yr. I used to live in NY but wanted a change and moved to rural PA.

Pretty, though.
Nice site. Bookmarked for future reference so I don't have to deal with the content farms and their pop under flash nonsense.
