Because people following the car around can check who is IN the car?
This is similar to identification based solely on an IP address - just as the IP at best points to a router, the GPS location only says where the CAR was, NOT where the employee in question was.
There's nothing that you can't learn without an iPad, and they're expensive.
The value of non-walled gardens, and how to program iPad apps.
Technically you could learn the latter, I suppose, but with no way of actually finding out if you're learning the right thing or misunderstood something.
But under no circumstances should it then be advertised as 'new', ie. fresh from the factory and never been used as that is blatantly false advertising in bad faith.
If you for instance allowed it to slowly render that huge page you're looking at, working in the background while you were reading what was already rendered, you wouldn't have a lot of wasted power/time while just reading.
It's like fuel economy in a car - the car has a 'best speed' for the amount of miles it'll go on a gallon. Same thing is true for CPUs.
If we warn the past about an event like 9/11, and they actually DO something about it, what happens then? Would the American government spin it even further out of proportion, claiming the attacks would have used nukes and biological weapons? There's no way of knowing for certain.
We know what we have: A world that is worse off than before, yes, but not on the brink of having the planet destroyed. With the possibility that we could make things a lot worse and start World War III, is is really sensible to send messages back in time?
Are you noticing how you're moving further and further away from the "Just sit down and relax" topic? By now you are actively starting to search, research, compare etc., when most people just want to sit down and relax after a long day at work.
But is that always the right thing? Should elected representatives always do what the population wants?
You know what they say, a man is smart, people are stupid. I would say it is more important for the elected representatives to do what is right for the country in the long run, regardless of whether the population agrees at the time.
I'm reminded of a site I saw a few years ago with a bunch of puzzles, where you had to figure out the URL for the next puzzle by doing things like checking the page source and such. That could actually serve as an interesting basis for a series of tests to see if they understand the internet.
There's the big problem. Just as you're unlikely to see humor from human research subjects in a controlled environment (let's just think prison here) you won't see it from animals in the same situation, so most of the "animals have a sense of humor" stories will remain unverifiable anecdotes.
I have a few of my own. My old dog used to find it hilarious to throw her favorite ball under a wardrobe, and then stand there wagging like crazy while I was wiggling around on the floor trying to reach it. Did she want her ball? Hell no, she'd ignore it seconds later, she just wanted to see me look funny.
Or just the other day when another dog tried crawling onto a dining table chair - we're talking a labrador sized dog here - and when she finally made it, she just lay there looking at me with her tail wagging for a few seconds before jumping down.
I'm also reminded of an old home video of a cat laying in hiding while an approximately two year old kid comes walking down a path, then jumps out right in front of him. How is that not doing something simply for the fun of it? I honestly doubt the cat intended to kill and eat the child.
It would not be better, no, but it would be a better STORY.
Come on, be honest. Which story do you remember most, the story that something went wrong and was fixed, or that something went wrong and the company responsible started pointing fingers at everyone but themselves?
Because there isn't a single unnecessary law in your country?
Face it:
1) Stuff happens. 2) People panic/get angry. 3) Politician suggests new law to make the people in 2 vote for him. 4) Time passes. 5) Law remains on the books long after it's no longer needed.
I looked it up. The Thai lese-majeste law is from 1908. The king is around 80 years old. Clearly this law was put in place long before the current king was even a gleam in his father's eye, as I believe the saying goes. Removing laws is a lot harder than adding them.
So are you saying that every single person in the world is rational enough to say, "Okay, if he goes to school for the next five to ten years he can get a good job. I'll just snap my fingers and conjure up food in the meantime since that's the only way we'll get to eat."
Rationality and long term planning sadly goes out the window when you are poor and potentially starving right now.
As long as there are people living in poverty, the idea that your child could be earning money instead of being in school becomes a very, very interesting prospect.
My alarm clock is set to pick up a signal from Germany. Not sure of the frequency, but the manual says it's rated at 1500 km radius from the transmitting tower.
The part about potential pseudonyms is what makes this slavery.
Think about it. Once an artist is signed up with GEMA, he is apparently no longer allowed to make a dance track in his spare time and release it as Creative Commons. Once he's signed up with GEMA, anything he makes becomes GEMA's property to collect royalties for, even if the artist himself does not want any royalties for it.
Please explain how that is NOT slavery, even if a modern version of it.

Of course it gets sold again.

Diminishing returns, basically.

Because 50 different (privately owned) systems all doing their own thing is worse?
And do you have something not United States Only?
The interesting question becomes this:
If we warn the past about an event like 9/11, and they actually DO something about it, what happens then? Would the American government spin it even further out of proportion, claiming the attacks would have used nukes and biological weapons? There's no way of knowing for certain.

Mine were taken away in less than six months when I moved 40 kilometers south, crossing the Danish-German border.

You're blind. You should go get some even bigger dork glasses.
See, it cuts both ways.
I'll assume you mean pounds.
9000 pounds divided by 100 girls = an average of 90 pounds per girl. Poor anorexics. :-(
What does acting like a speedy canine have to do with anything?
Perhaps you meant to say 'rabid', a derivation from 'rabies', which is not called 'rapies' for obvious reasons.
Thank you SO much for making me feel old, you bastard.
You mean they're sold in stores instead of on the street?

And he couldn't even do that right. No question mark at the end of the summary.
Europe had a breed of rhino, actually. It's extinct now.
