I'm afraid that the constitution is specific to US citizens. It outlines specifically powers they are granting the government specifying that they retain all others. It has nothing to do with non-citizens.
I'm afraid that you are very wrong. IANAL, but clearly you aren't either.
Because they call it fucking AUTOPILOT. Auto, as in automatic, not manual, no human interaction needed, done for you. You claim it's well documented it's assist technology, and if you dig into the fine print I'm sure you're right. But it's also documented very well in the goddamn name that it's not assist technology, it's automatic. Not manual. Not assist. No human interaction needed. Done for you. Auto-fucking-pilot. Fine print disclaimers do not change that.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Your understanding of autopilot is incorrect. I believe the word you are looking for is autonomous, not automatic.
I think this is an issue of the common layperson assuming they know what autopilot means based on video games, movies, and TV. Autopilot in airplanes and ships is not a complete hands-off automatically do everything for you system. It is essentially the same as tying a rope to the steering wheel in your car and placing a brick on your gas pedal.
We regulate vices because people with vices do bad things to other innocent citizens.
To some degree, yes. But overwhelmingly we seem to regulate vices because we're hypocrites who would rather ignore someone than help them, to the point where we'd rather spend money to lock someone up than rehabilitate them.
Its different, so I'm sure the vast majority of/. hates it even if they haven't seen it. Some will say they access Gmail through Lynx so it doesn't impact them, and the rest will chide everyone else for not running their own mail server inside of a Faraday cage only accessible through a VPN based on the moon.
I just don't see how this ruling could stand the way it is described here.
If the software market value is zero, how did the original judge get to $700,000 damages? That calculation or at least argument would have to be shown. Does anyone know what it was?
$25 per disc x 28,000 discs
Yes, but the real question is how they determined a value of $25 per disc when the contents of said disc are available online for free.
'rigged' is probably too strong a word. The DNC gave certain advantages to the Clinton campaign, which one would expect when you have a candidate that is deeply entwined with an institution as opposed to an outsider with few personal or political connections to the group. But 'rigged' gives a false impression that there was cheating or tampering involved, which there wasn't.
That makes sense, to a degree. However, a large portion of Clinton-voters blame her loss on Sanders-voters. They defend the actions of the DNC with the notion that Bernie was an outsider, then they turn around and blame his supporters for electing Trump by not falling in line with Clinton after Bernie lost the nomination. Why would you expect the supporters of an "outsider" candidate to fall in line behind Clinton when she represented the party that rejected their candidate of choice for being an outsider?
Why does it matter whether the sun is at its highest at noon or 1 pm?
I'm for staying with Daylight Saving time because I prefer to have more sunlight after I get home from work. With Standard Time, the sun is rising while I'm driving to work and setting while I'm driving home. Lucky for me, I have to drive East in the morning and West in the evening so the sun is in everyone's eyes the entire time. And no, I don't believe its very realistic to expect businesses and employers to shift everyone's start times by an hour. If you were going to do that, wouldn't be a lot easier to simply shift the time over to Daylight Saving?
Its much, much simpler than that. In America, if you don't work the bullshit hours that middle management expects, then you will never get a bonus or a promotion no matter how good your work is. Instead, you'll earn yourself a spot on the top of the list of people to be outsourced. The reality is, no one in middle management really gives a shit about how good your work is, its all about kissing ass and showing upper management that they can squeeze every drop of blood from their employees. Its easier to work everyone like slaves than to actually hire competent people and train them properly to do a good job in a timely manner. Even if you do have a good team that can routinely meets deadlines, middle management will only see an opportunity to exploit all of you in order to score points with upper management and squeeze the deadlines tighter and tighter.
Wasn't it the previous generations that decided that replaceable parts were too expensive? I'm only 32, so I'm pretty sure that it wasn't my generation that started manufacturing everything in a way that makes it cheaper to simply replace the entire unit rather than custom ordering replacement parts...
Fine, then local municipalities should be allowed to establish their own publicly funded internet services without any interference from private service providers in the form of lawsuits because of "unfair" competition.
I used to have a TiVo, and I loved it. Then for various reasons I had to cancel my subscription. TiVo took it upon themselves to double charge me the cancellation fee. When they refunded my money, they withheld around $10 or so and claimed it was for taxes or something.
I didn't really care about the $10, it was about the principle of the matter. If you make a mistake and double charge me, you should give me back exactly what you took by accident, including any measly taxes. Instead the person I spoke to on the phone was incredibly rude to me and as a result TiVo lost a customer for life.
You still didn't really address the question. Reminds me of that stupid joke where a guy says to the doctor "it hurts when I do this" and the doctor responds "then stop doing that". And congratulations on finding a way to insult Americans at the same time, it certainly doesn't make you come across as a douche...
I'd like to see figures regarding the available labor pool. Google's workforce is 17% female. What percentage of job applicants at Google were female? Google's workforce is 1% black. What percentage of applicants were black?
Precisely. These numbers are completely meaningless without data on what percentage of applicants are female, black, white, male, etc.
There are a lot of different extensions that allow you to download videos from YouTube. If you haven't found one that is reliable, you haven't looked very hard.
Less money from tickets mean less money for toys like tanks, drones, GPS trackers, microwave based crowd dispersion devices, etc.
It also means more cops actually doing useful things like preventing/solving crimes, directing traffic around accidents and broken lights, etc. You know, actually being a benefit to society for a change.
Text is almost always better, but even when a video is useful people almost always do it wrong. Instructional videos on YouTube are the worst. People always feel the need to yammer on and plug other crap for 90% of the video before finally getting to the point.
I just put my 16 year old dog to sleep about two weeks ago because of seizures. The first time she had a seizure I took her to the emergency vet ($200 and no real answers), followed up by a trip to our regular vet the next day to get blood drawn for labwork. The labs all came back normal, which strongly suggested a mass in her brain was the cause. Our vet had suggested getting a $1500 MRI scan, but after three seizures followed by long periods of restlessness and the fact that her personality had completely changed over the past year, we decided that it was simply time to say goodbye. I was with her at the end, and it was by far the most difficult experience in my life so far.
The right expects that an ever-increasing crop of wastrels who do not work will be the result, increasing their tax burden and further damaging the perception that work is the correct pathway to life success
So the answer is to throw people in jail for doing something that most likely doesn't harm anyone else? Guess what that leads to: increased tax burden to pay for more prisoners, and damaging the possibility for people to ever hold down any sort of decent job through which they would have to pay income taxes.
Offtopic, but I'd drop the A+ certification from your resume. When we get applicants with A+ listed, then we assume that they don't know enough to know that it means nothing and we bin them.
Personally, I'd use your comment as a reason to keep the A+ on my resume. I'd never want to work with people who jump to such conclusions and discriminate over something so trivial.
Not sure who's rating this down but I agree with it. A+ screams geeksquad. We look at A+ as people who have low expectations in life. It's a pretty poor way to look at it, but that's life.
That is a pretty short sighted practice. Just because someone earned an A+ certification at some point in their career doesn't mean they don't know anything. When I was working at my first job, I was doing anything and everything possible to find a way out. One thing on that list was obtaining an A+ certification. Sure, it didn't really help me as I went the development route, but I think it is pretty stupid to write someone off simply because they achieved something that you feel is worthless. Sure, if the only thing on someone's resume is the A+ cert, that is probably not a good sign. But don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
I hear a lot of praise about DuckDuckGo here on Slashdot. I had Linux Mint installed on one of my laptops. The version of Firefox that comes with Mint hits DuckDuckGo if you use the URL bar to enter search queries. I fucking hated it. DuckDuckGo easily took at least 10 times longer than Google to return results for me. Even if DuckDuckGo gave you absolutely perfect results (which from my experience is no more accurate than Google), I could search Google enough times to find the answer I'm looking for before DuckDuckGo ever responds. I'll stick with Google since their engine returns accurate results quickly.
Let's not pretend that the purpose of guns is not for killing. They are a tool and that is their purpose. You can kill a person or an animal to stop an action but that is the purpose of the person, not the tool. If you fire a gun at a person your expectation is that you will kill. There is an intentionality to firearms. Firearms are a weapon and the purpose of a weapon is to kill.
I aim my gun at a piece of paper with a circle and some lines drawn on it. What is the intention of my gun?

Amazon.com went online in 1995. I guess 1.5 decades still warrants plurality, so you are technically correct. The best kind of correct.

Only around 10.7% of murders are committed by women. What are we doing to close the gap and introduce more women into this male dominated field?
