The whole idea is riddled with problems just waiting to happen. How will they know I live where I say I live? Are they going to verify that?
What's stopping me registering the property of a drone operator so they can't fly in their own property? What's stopping me entering my address, and all of my neighbours? If a drone still flies over my property, who do I sue? If the last owner of my house made it a no-fly zone, but I want to fly drones in my back yard, how do I remove my house from the list? What's stopping me asking to remove other peoples' house from the list? Does having a drone flying one foot outside of my property boundary really differ from a drone flying one foot inside my property boundary? It can still see over my property.
Except I didn't know exactly what they meant. I thought it was indicating the discovery of some kind of volcanic activity. I have never heard or seen "pop" used alone in place of of "pop into view" or even "pop up".
There's a big difference between language change and single instances of rotten use.
Are you seriously suggesting that a fish understood the concept of "breathing air", decided it would be useful, and set itself the target of developing lungs?
Self appointed vigilantes are never a good thing, that's why you should be taking issue with this.
Because it's mob justice. Because it presumes guilt without a fair trial. Because each vigilante works to their own personal agenda, which may not exactly be what they claim to be and may not be what you agree with. Because vigilantes have nothing to show they know what they're doing. Because, well, what could possibly go wrong...
Never under-estimate the ability of a random poster to point out, after 2 minutes thought, things that so-called experts have jointly devoted hundreds of years of studying to, yet completely over-looked. Like they were total morons.
It's what makes internet forums the font of all human progress, and not ill-informed stupidity.
So either you went to a really bad school, were a child genius, or just a normal teenager with an inflated opinion of your knowledge and experience in comparison to adults.
Cameron's real problem is that he doesn't understand anything that doesn't have profit as a bottom line. And the greedy cronies that he's surrounded by (it would be a mistake to think them idiots) aren't interested in anything that doesn't have profit as a bottom line. It is, they believe, everything that makes reality work.
There is no obvious profit margin in other people's privacy. Therefore it has no value, and is a hindrance to where profit is to be made. So it must be removed.
Yeah people! You've had two whole months to be doing that upgrade! What's taking you so long?
Anyone would think people had more important things to be doing than spending Christmas attending to their phone. All those poor androids out there running an OS literally 60 days out of date! It's enough to make you weep. I guess some folk just have no shame.
"People north of 40 are schizophrenic about voice mail," says Michael Schrage.
I don't even know what the hell that means. Wikipedia defines Schizophrenia as "characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to recognize what is real." Is he saying that people over 40 think voice mail is a voice in their head?
But, but, but you don't understand! Gamers are having games that are no good forced on them through an evil conspiracy by game companies with journalists! They are having to spend hours trudging through dull games that are not fun! They are being blackmailed into spending thousands on in-game purchases, otherwise they won't reach level 100 and their lives will be worthless!
The number of basic human rights that are being violated here are beyond count! Why does no-one care??!!
Look at it this way. Are you prepared to go see a mediocre movie, where there's a slight chance of the cinema being targeted for a terrorist attack (made greater because it is the only cinema showing it), just to prove a point? And if the worse happened, you (or your bereaved family) would in no way ever consider suing both cinema and Sony for negligence in showing it, when they knew there was a chance of this happening?
If you aren't prepared to do all the above, why should anyone else?
2. "Rudin called Angelina Jolie a "minimally talented spoiled brat" in an email exchange with Pascal." Outrageous!! How dare a film producer hold a negative opinion about an actress!!
3. Erm, isn't holding personal info exactly what HR departments are supposed to do? If this related to company health insurance policies, how are they expected to not know about it? Isn't the real crime here the deliberate leaking of this private information?
4. No, what you have there is evidence that Jennifer Lawrence staring in a movie is worth less than Christian Bale or Bradley Cooper. Unfortunate for Lawrence, but I think she'll manage to struggle by.
Say, for instance, it has been suggested a popular soft drink gave you cancer. The company who make the drink have investigated this, found it to be true, but are spending millions covering up, denying and rubbishing the suggestions. We're talking a massive scale lie and fraud here. They are being so successful at doing this that you are convinced, and are happily continuing to consume the drink. You've got a can of it by your computer right now.
A few years from now you're going to discover you've been lied to, and it's almost certainly going to kill you.
Still think you'll have nothing to complain about? Did they force you to buy that can? Are they putting it to your lips? Nope, it's all your decision. The fact that you are being tricked doesn't matter. Man up, sucker.
It's like when you drunk drive and think you're just fine.
Well the problem there is you're drunk, not that you can drive. C is a great language, and it gives its programmers a great deal of power and flexibility. But with that comes responsibility not to code like an idiot. If you're going to wield its power carelessly, of course you're a danger.
Perhaps C's greatest weakness is that it places too much trust in the coder, where other languages don't.

Can you spot the flaw in the plan?

Why would Sony be getting paid for adverts on a Samsung TV?

"Keep anything" of what?
This is the split of what Spotify pays out, not what users and advertisers pay in to Spotify.
Except it's not just their messages. It's messages sent to and from others, who didn't sign up for gmail, just corresponded with it.
And you're at least a decade slow if you think that google is "an email service".
I found this post IAU.

It'll be the usual story with Samsung;
Hardware; neat!
Software; Oh my god, what did your customers do to you to inflict this on them?

I'd rather not bare this MP at all, in mind or otherwise.
But I'll bear your suggestion in mind.
