Or you can run a real Linux, still use Google Apps, and get a big drive (pay ONCE) and store data locally. All the advantages of ChromeOS without the downsides.
I'm not pro-gun or even a gun owner, but I think this lawsuit is idiotic. Diagrams of how to make a workable gun are available in any public library with an encyclopedia or a set of "how it works" books. Any halfway competent machinist with access to some metal stock and pipe could use them to produce a functional, if inelegant (i.e. unrifled) gun.
Even non-SIM phones can be ported out. Instead of activating a new SIM on the account and putting it in a phone, a "social engineering" hacker can get an entirely new phone with IMEI activated on the account. Same result.
Then again, non-SIM phones are a dying breed in the US. Even "CDMA" carriers like Verizon have moved to SIMs on 4G devices.
He should have run the scam from abroad and used the money to buy residence in a non-extradition country... In all seriousness: he used his own phone and expected not to be caught?
Two more points: (1) $1 million bail is more than many murderers get. This shows the priorities of the state -- fortunes of tech squillionaires are worth more than human lives. (2) The phone companies that apparently make SIMs stupidly easy to port-out should share the blame.
What do you propose that the cops do with the homeless? We could offer addicts and homeless treatment and/or shelter NOW, but we're too focused on incarceration and punishment. The problem isn't cash -- it's a retarded Puritan worldview.
I'd rather they spend/waste their money on expensive, labor intensive HUMINT than spend it on more databases, better nudie scanners, etc and so forth. If they want to send a bunch of agents on wild goose chases writing reports, so be it. At least they might be there when someone gets blind drunk on a flight and starts harassing other passengers.
Or you could exchange a certified bank's check in the bank itself. Or (if you lived in a civilized country), you could wire money within 15 minutes for free or almost free. SWIFT wires in non-US countries put the US system to shame.
Freedom of speech is debatable. In the US, you're free to speak but unlikely to be listened to unless you're wealthy and/or powerful. In France, mass protests can actually topple governments. Consumer goods shouldn't be seen as a measure of freedom: see also, Singapore.
As far as firemen, EMTs, engineers, and doctors, many aren't all that Puritanical. Look at artists -- art makes live living, and they're generally even less Puritanical...
As opposed to licking the boots of the insurance companies or begging for money on GoFundMe (G-d help you if you're not seen as religious or pious) today.
1. Illegal immigration is basically a problem made up by xenophobes in the US. 2. Corruption available to the average Joe and Jane is actually a good thing -- in an authoritarian society, it's nice to be able to bribe a cop to fuck off and look the other way. High-level corruption seldom uses ACTUAL cash. 3. Tax avoidance -- unlimited ability to tax by a bad government isn't a positive aspect. One means of bloodless revolution is a mass tax protest.

It's not a protest. It's a means to maintain control. My machine, my software, my data.
If the software no longer works for me, then the only alternative is a different OS.
ATMs can take cash for deposit too, believe it or not. Only problem is with damaged bills.

Fossil fool plants also cause bird deaths. Y'know, science...

Yes it does -- rich techbros get the best "justice" money can buy.
Murderers can face a death sentence in California, so don't argue about flight risk.
No. It should be implemented by default. Having people pay for security that should always be present is essentially extortion.

Samsung J1, J3 among other phones, had/have removable batteries. Think developing market phones vs flagships.
Charge at home. Slip a motel clerk some cash to "borrow" their 220v dryer outlet over night.
"Decent spec" to me is a base/stripper model. As few frills and as little crap to break as possible.
for Mass. residents. Re-sell access to the manuals to people all over the world. Fuck Tesla's evil attitude towards DIY owners.

Same as in the US -- landlord holds the guarantee aka "security deposit."

I didn't see very many Native Americans pulling for Trump, do you?
Time to start organizing the (often heavily armed) "mark of the Beast" hyper-religious crowd, then, of which there's a lot in the US.

I'll debate the usefulness of (US) cops.

Often the police and military are the ones that get fed up and join a revolution. See also: Romania, 1989.
Incarcerating racist yob trash is definitely worthwhile...
