FINALLY. Now we can add female characters to video games.
Up til now, it wasn't possible, because the graphics just weren't good enough to to represent them. Males can be represented by a square colored block, but you need hyper-accurate hair for females.
No, they expect the email provider to charge their customers more.
But this is just the first step.
Next will be "you have to periodically do a global search with these keywords that we provide, and report to us all emails that match, along with related connection logs, etc.."
Then it will be "the keywords must be kept secret, you must permit us to search through all your email periodically, and also have access to the rest of your systems to look for terrorists. and child molesters."
I think the real problem for the EU was when they effectively 'nationalized' Greece's debt. Before all the bailouts, Greece's debt was held by some other government organizations, but also a bunch of private companies [banks, private companies] that knew Greece was in trouble and charged them high interest rates because of it. Then, when Greece started having problems paying them back, the EU stepped in, just kicking the ball down the field by spending their citizens money to take over Greece's obligations.
This referendum should have happened 5 years ago [it would also have been a smaller problem].
This is really Amazon's fault. For me, it does some stupid constant page refreshing in Firefox, evidently trying desperately to track me harder and harder.
Yes, that IS the reason. We tried the 'free market solves all problems' for this exact thing. Before we came up with medallions and the rest of the taxi regulations, it is what we did.
It wasn't pretty.
We came up with the taxi system BECAUSE of it. We didn't just decide out of the blue to do it.
Uber is counting on you NOT bothering to find out why we came up with the taxi system to begin with.
I'm not claiming the current system is great, or even good, or works well. But it's better than what we WILL get going down Uber's path. Because we've already done it.
Stupid. Read up on something called "history". We already tried what Uber is doing, only without the "over the internet" part. It didn't work out so well.
It is precisely why the taxi industry is like it is now.

Maybe next time, just ask him to explain his code instead of killing him and throwing him in the river.
touchedown!
I only show up for fashion tips.

Paste totally tastes better.
Yes, you must BUY things. None of that reuse-crap. Or preventing toxic materials from entering the general environment.
And whatever corporations must be permitted to abandon their property in whatever condition they want, for the government to later clean up.
No, data is not freely shared. It is freely generated, and then stored and analyzed behind paywalls to make profit.
Phineas is all talk. Ferb is the real man of action.

They don't want a back door into everything. Just whatever services the little people get to use.
That involves people with lots of money, who also have a bunch of friends with lots of money.
Snowden has neither, therefore he must face the death penalty.
"Please make your reddits public again, so we can go back to making as much money as before, while we look for people to replace you."
It's OK if you don't want to go steady with, or [oh, the horror] marry, your data.

If you are dumb enough to get into a cage match with a robot...
Of course, you do have to worry about becoming homeless...
Sure: "Show me the picture of me and my wife on the beach 10 years ago"
Wife: "Who the hell is that in the picture with you? And when did that happen?"
Are you kidding. You might crib some code from the project, but I GUARANTEE you will strip out any code "that respects customer privacy and choice".
Right now, interoperability just means that more companies have direct, unfettered, access to whatever data is generated by the devices you purchased.

As is not particularly unusual, the title is incorrect.
"Airplane Coatings Help Recoup Fuel Efficiency Lost To Bug Splatter"
From Merriam Webster: recoup "to get an equivalent for (as losses) : make up for " or "to make good or make up for something lost"
This coating would not 'recoup' the lost fuel efficiency. Better words to use would be "reduce" or "minimize".
In today's lesson, we will discuss how the same things can have multiple, different uses, depending on the current context.
He's one of the few who really took it to heart.
