In a small company, one of the vice presidents would scribble some horrible code and force the programming staff to use it as a foundation for a product.
An ancient proverb says: "The only thing more dangerous than a manager who codes is a programmer with a soldering iron.".
Image resolution has nothing to do with copyrights.
No, and neither does the amount of text copied, or the length of a song clip. You do understand what "fair use" is, don't you?
That's about the same thing as downloading copyrighted high-res photos from some news agency site and reducing resolution and publishing them as part of a news article.
Not all cities are built on a grid - some older European ones seem to be more radial in form. I get your point though, and even if there is a diagonal road, it might not be align on the diagonal that goes where you want.

This is a Star Trek reference. Ergo, it is automatically funny.
You're assuming you can't walk diagonally (i.e. you're in the middle of a square with a station at each corner), so it would be something like half the square root of 2.
Unless your city is very small, with everything close together...busses and all just are not a practical means of transportation for making it on time to work, buying things to live with...
Yeah right. Paris is tiny. As for Berlin, why, it's practically a village.
No, mod it informative or interesting. Always mod 1 in 3 or so of the funnies informative or interesting, to counteract the fact that offtopic/flamebait subtracts karma, but funny doesn't add it.
To the original poster - maybe you should have added a link? It doesn't make the joke less funny, and some of us don't live in Virginia. Especially those with mod points, sadly.
if you can take a picture with one of these things while "pretending to talk on it"
The thing appears to be disguised as a cigarette lighter, so pretending to talk on it would be bizzare. In fact pretending to use it as such is likely to draw attention to you, especially in places where it's not allowed to smoke or commit arson.

Seems it's not the only reason for you to rethink.
Yes, but for fridges and maybe toasters.
It's a very special form of automatic, available as a no-cost option. It's generally referred to as "manual".

[1] Note to pedants: all the side that's facing us, anyway
Insightful my ass. Metamods take not.
Well said. How badasscat's utter crap got modded +5 insightful I'll never know.
Perhaps the grandparent thought it was something about Wayne Bobbit, or maybe a Harry Potter spinoff?

I'd trust the computer. Now as to the guy(s) who'd programmed it, that's an entirely different matter...

I won't even mention capital punishment, especially in Texas.
Sorry, I'm too busy smashing all the pedaloes at the local pond.
