For some reason this sounds to me like one of those situations where we say to ourselves, "What could happen if we cede control of the internet's technical management to the global community?" Then, six months, or a few years down the road, we look back and say "Ah... that's what could happen; wish we hadn't done that."
> If i were a Verizon customer i'd consider paying at _least_ $10 extra to avoid having all the extra crap installed on my phone.
FUCK THAT!!! I bought the phone and I pay heavily for the service. I should absolutely NOT be required to pay even more money not to be annoyed or spied upon. Just another example of the rich getting richer off of hardworking Americans' backs.
I was really expecting more for the 50th anniversary celebration of Star Trek, but I have heard little about it around the internets. I'm not quite sure what I did expect, but I thought there would be more.
I actually caught the license plate of the truck that broke my last windshield. I gave it to my insurance company, and they acted like I had given them a futon. They had no idea why I was doing it, and couldn't care less about the information.
I don't watch a television show to power through it so I can get on to the next task in my life. I watch a television show to slow down and relax for a while. How sad is it that people feel this way. Life is getting too busy and full as it is without trying to fast-forward your leisure time.
The only reason you still have your guns is that they know pretty well that it's not even offering the pretense of you being able to defend against your government's whims.
If you get enough people together with assault rifles then defending against the army of a corrupt government can be extremely effective.
Growing up in the '70s and '80s, I never would have thought that the United States and Russia would be [essentially] on the same side when it comes to privacy.
A large increase in traffic volume in a residential neighborhood plus the fact that many people drive too fast/distracted/erratically/etc. means way more chances of people (especially children) being hit by a car. I am all for keeping detouring traffic out of the residential neighborhoods.

The November elections have already been disrupted ... months ago ... by the candidates themselves.
I fear our police, FBI, NSA, CIA, TSA, ATF, ICE, etc more than criminals these days, and by a decent margin.
The NSA and CIA are not police, they are part of the DoD, not the DoJ.
Google seems to think that its partners will update phones because it's The Right Thing To Do by their customers
... When has a company ever done something because it is "the right thing to do" instead of "because of money"?
LOL
Do any of the Nexus phones have SD card slots and removable batteries?
Yes, thank you for allowing me to freely access that which my tax dollars helped pay for. </sarcasm>

Happened to Tony Stark.

They can have my pile of poo emoji when they pry it from my cold dead smartphone.
I very much enjoyed the summer 2012 Olympics; London did an outstanding job at putting on the show.
I actually caught the license plate of the truck that broke my last windshield. I gave it to my insurance company, and they acted like I had given them a futon. They had no idea why I was doing it, and couldn't care less about the information.
Then, I had a child, and all of my TV viewing is gone. For the past 3 years, I have gotten [maybe] about an hour to an hour and a half a day.
No cremation, embalming, or autopsy for me until a week has past.

Comey just doesn't want the NSA spying on him. It's a vicious circle.

What about a pen or marker?

Klug's real crime was that he changed all the tabs in the code to spaces before handing the code to another student.
Some developers really do not like that sort of thing.

Seriously?
The previous record was from 60 years ago and the difference was 0.4 celcius.
Alarmist much.
0.4 degrees Celcius = 32.72 degrees Farenheight. I would say that is a pretty big change.
