Do you honestly not see the difference between what we've had in the past, and where we're heading in the future?
You seem to have very strong principles. Would you go up to a group of bikies at some truck stop and start filming them with a camcorder? What if some elderly, incontinent person soiled themselves: would you video that and upload it to YouTube?
Hidden cameras have existed for years, but they're rarely used. Where they've been used outside of investigations / security services, it's been by individuals who most would consider to be socially dysfunctional. (I'll say it bluntly: perverts !)
Google Glass takes us into new territory in a single leap.
I agree, the general public isn't as paranoid about privacy as many are here on Slashdot: I've spent the last 8 months filming up women's skirts using a secret, hidden camera built into my shoe. Not one woman has complained yet.
I find people don't care about privacy, not until it's the "creepy" guy staring at them instead of the average guy filming them without their knowledge.
You'll hence probably find the average Australian is quite sceptical of the motives for this legislation
Likely, in some negotiations, China hinted at a small desire for an increase in the learning of Chinese in other countries. They would consider it a "personal favour" if we would accommodate. Next item on the agenda: the status of Chinese government approval on the selling of rare earth minerals to Australia.
Mate, you can get a machine for under a hundred bucks, and the capsules are around 70 U.S. cents (give or take).
In my opinion, pod coffee is good. (Not great... but good. Certainly better than soluble coffee.)
And with the convenience of having a couple of coffees at home / the office for under 2 bucks a day, while I'd be ticked off if the manufacturer ceased making the capsules in a year or 2, I wouldn't be starting a class action lawsuit.
My, how I've become irate over the years with medical practitioners having such lax (nay, absent) IT security policies.
I'm sick of doctors installing random software off the internet. I'm sick of doctors connecting their computers directly to the internet, with nothing but Windows as protection. I'm sick of doctors throwing unencrypted DVD back-up's in their trash.
The software runs locally it's just licensed in the cloud.
which implies it's essentially the same software. However in my local newspaper the Managing Director of Adobe Australia and New Zealand says:
We didn't want our research and development teams to be maintaining two different tech platforms – one in the cloud and the one purchased every two years.
which implies Adobe would be burdened by having to maintain a cloud & off-line version of the software.
I believe you, and suspect the software is the same, and that Adobe is just full of shit. However unlike you, for me this reinforces my distrust of Adobe.
Dude, if they got a billion dollars they don't need to continue selling it. If you created & built-up a business and then sold it for $20 million we could also say "who are you planning on selling it to next".
I once changed doctors, and asked for my records to be transferred. The doctor I was leaving said that his notes belonged to him, and that he wouldn't transfer those. (Even though all those notes were about me !)
I don't know what the law is, but that just doesn't sound right.
I think the reason why they don't mention Intel is simply because the thing isn't meant to run Intel chips. It doesn't really matter that it uses Intel underneath when you never get to directly access it and instead are limited to whatever layer they strapped on top of it.
Do airlines charge handicapped people more for transporting their wheelchairs? After all, they provide "a service to ship your Kg". Or does society make exceptions?
And why are blind people allowed to bring their seeing eye dog into a restaurant, while I can't bring my dog? Does society again make exceptions?
Society isn't perfect, but we certainly try to forbid people from being discriminated against when they have no choice in the matter. And the average male will always be heavier than the average female, and therefore have to pay more in the above pricing model.
What the GP could have said was that one insurance industry (health insurance) charges men & women the same for health insurance (even while women may cost more) while another insurance industry (car insurance) charges males more because those pesky testicles cause males to drive more aggressively and therefore have more accidents.
Perhaps it would be nice if, as you say, life was a little more equitable.
do you really make a trip decision based on the few minutes of interaction you may have with the border authorities?
Well now, it all depends on those few minutes, doesn't it?
Let's say that they were going to irradiate me from head-to-toe. Or, oh I don't know, that some stranger was going to grope my penis and testicles. Perhaps I might look dimly upon those few minutes, mightn't I? Perhaps I might pick another location on the map for my vacation.
I've said it here before: I would absolutely LOVE to go to the U.S.... but I refuse to go while such conditions exist.
The Australian / US exchange rate makes Hawaii a particularly attractive destination for me, but it ain't happening. I'll instead go to another, if slightly less desirable, destination.

Ah-ha! So, we've established my proposal as sound in principle. Now, we're just haggling over price.

But I presume you only get 3 attempts before the account is locked-out. Even 10 attempts would be safe.

Dude, relax, it's just science fiction. There was no caretaker, and no one was pulled into the Delta quadrant.
Maybe they've already done this, and maybe the 'small island nation' isn't as small as you think.

Curious ... I notice that you say:

If by prissy dumbass you mean fit and athletic looking -- versus overweight and sluggish -- I'll take the bike with the trailer.
I've seen cool bike trailers.
And the bike need not have streamers fluttering from the handlebars !

Your second question, however, does have merit.
First up: IANAL.
I think in Australia what you state above is not a crime.
To my knowledge, conspiracy to commit a crime requires 2 or more people.
Unfortunately, many passengers may also have the following thought:
If I do nothing, I can let someone else be cut, bruised and maybe lethally stabbed, but I can come out of this unscathed.
Sigh. The situation is still warped in Australia.
I once changed doctors, and asked for my records to be transferred.
The doctor I was leaving said that his notes belonged to him, and that he wouldn't transfer those.

Everything you said was correct.
And it all supports the article / summary: that Linux has a brand / image problem.
But the same would apply to "Intel Inside", which instead of a negative is considered a positive.
And that's the point of the article.
Regarding your first point: it wasn't always a black hole. At one point in its life it was already a super-massive object, so perhaps that helps. (?)

Giddy-yup !

I would absolutely LOVE to go to the U.S.
