That would be true if Bernie could be on the ballot. But at this point, he can't -- the names have been set and, by law, can no longer be changed. He'd have to be a write-in, and the average voter can't be relied upon to follow the instruction to write in Bernie instead of ticking the box still labeled Hillary.
Roddenberry wanted to skewer religious sensibilities as well cultural ones, so he gave one character green skin and pointed ears to make him look like a demon, and would have given him wings and a tail if it had been in the costume budget.
Not to mention, he was supposed to be red instead of green. It was nixed because it didn't work in black-and-white (it would have looked like he was wearing blackface or something).
I'm glad I don't use AT&T and dropped Verizon a few years back. Can't be sure, but I bet CREDO will be very unlikely to do this sort of thing.
Credo is an MVNO running on the Verizon network. Therefore, Verizon can do exactly the same monitoring of your calls as they do with those of their own customers.
So, effectively ruin your life? By doing that, you not only get into databases that you might have had some chance avoiding otherwise, you also fuck over your chances of ever having a decent job again (unless you happen to be in a career such as activist or journalist where getting arrested is respected instead of condemned). HR departments are too stupid and lazy to know or care about the difference between getting arrested because you're a criminal and getting arrested because the police are criminals.
In the totalitarian police state of America, it's injustices all the way down.
Would it have been possible for the Congressionally-approved design to have specified "steel meeting the ASME SA316 standard as it existed on X date" to head off the problem at the beginning? Also, did the ASME committee really care about the structural weakness or did some anti-nuclear member(s) of the committee realize it would screw over the reactor construction and do it on purpose?
My VW runs on 100% biodiesel and is therefore closer to carbon-neutral than even the average electric vehicle. Keeping an old car in service also avoids the gigantic environmental cost of manufacturing a new one (which is even worse for modern EVs because lithium mining is a particularly nasty business).
So who's the assknob now? Pretty sure it's you, not me!
That's easy: you just restrict your search to cars old enough not to have significant software. (Or, a more relaxed standard: old enough not to have software complex enough to get USB bug fixes, or that uses a radio to "phone home" to the manufacturer.) My newest car is a 1998 VW diesel. I don't know if the ECU is actually DRM'd or not, but it didn't stop a chip tuner from being able to re-flash it to edit the fuel/air/boost maps.
This isn't the first instance of Tesla abusing copyright to infringe on people's actual property rights. I don't remember what the previous issue was, but I definitely remember that I made the same decision you just did something like a year or so ago.
FYI, in 2016 America a "farmer" is not some hick with 40 acres and a mule. Instead, he's the manager of a team of scientists and mechanics who farm thousands or millions of acres at a time using petrochemicals and highly-automated heavy machinery.
Frankly, right now I am considering restoring a used car over purchasing a new one. The cost will be more, but I think I will have a better car.
I've already consciously chosen to drive older cars because of that. FYI, cars made in the 1990s (and maybe early 2000s) are still modern enough to have things like fuel injection and air bags, and can still be found in good enough condition to not need "restoring," but also generally weren't infected with enough DRM'd equipment to matter.
And I worry that this might be the future of Economy. Deplorable as Communism.
I agree that (a) it's a worrying trend and (b) that it's deplorable. However, the economic system it more resembles is feudalism, not communism. The difference is that instead of the lords holding Real Property (i.e., land), they hold Imaginary Property (i.e. copyright).
Parody is a defense for a use that would otherwise be copyright infringement. That makes discussing it unnecessary, since this just simply isn't copyright infringement to begin with. A Galaxy Note 7 is an object, not a video. The idea that merely using any random object in a video gives the person who designed the object claim over the video is absurd!
For "common carrier" to be a meaningful distinction, some agency needs to be responsible for making sure entities that claim to be common carriers actually behave that way. If it's not the FCC's responsibility, whose is it?
If we accept roughly 2,300 square kilometers of mixed biology as "a living thing", then we must also accept roughly 5,500,000 square kilometers of mixed biology as "a living thing" which means that the Amazon Rainforest has this reef collection beat by three decimal places and a bit more.

The FCC is doing some good, but the CFPB is doing more.
And of course, the "command" or "windows" key is really super.
Losing the keys on this Apple keyboard isn't great, but Chromebook keyboards are bad too -- no super key!
Do they get destroyed or re-sold? If they're re-sold, how cheap will they be?

If you could set it up to require a password and the presence of the key provided by the watch, that would be nice.
Why even bother screwing up the desert when we have millions of perfectly-good unused rooftops to fill up with panels first?

US or Russian naval officers would disagree with you. Or do you think the reactor on a submarine counts as "big?"

I'm voting for the goofy extremist who "can't possibly win" but who respects civil rights instead. I did that in the primary, too.

No, that makes Dublin the Delaware of Europe.

This needs to not be a Microsoft thing; it needs to be a new standard USB HID device type.
You shouldn't have to. Sony should have to prove that you didn't (or really, "intent" should simply be irrelevant).
