It's important to know the actual customs and not just make assumptions based on unrelated knowledge.
This is obviously true, also that most people are friendly. OTOH a "round the world" trip isn't the same thing as a cruise to the local tourist hotspot. At some point on a round-the-world trip you will be in unfriendly waters. The trouble spots are known and they're where you should be heeding the wise words.
I was really looking forward to being fondled and groped, but the TSA screeners were so uncomfortable, that they probably weren't able to determine definitively that I was male, much less if I were carrying something dangerous, like a comb or a camera. The dudes didn't want to touch me or look at me!
1. A robot may take no action which may expose the Manufacturer to financial liability.
This is why self-driving cars will never make it to the streets
It doesn't matter that they'll be far safer than human drivers. There's thousands of lawyers out there who'll be waiting anxiously for the first accident involving a self-driving car.
The only way is if the manufacturers get some special no-liability dispensation from the government. That's not going to happen because there's a whole bunch of lawyers who'd go after that, too.
What if the QR code, being so short, contains compressed data?
It won't.
a) The info on a bank note will be fixed size. b) You can't *garantee* that data can be compressed so you have to allow for it to not shrink. c) If you're allowing for fixed-size data to not be compressible you simply don't compress it.
QED.
PS: It wouldn't happen anyway. QR codes can be any size - you just make them bigger as needed.

It's perfectly possible for it to have a virtual memory model that's incompatible with Linux or something like that.
You'd think this would make it incompatible with Windows as well but you never know.
And you need about 10,000 turbines to equal the number of birds that die by flying into windows (in the USA).
Citation?
The turbines are industrial bird-killing machines, they make lots of noise
Nope.
Guess I missed the joke
Yep.
Oh great, a new breed of monkey. Just what the world needed. I sure am glad that we solved all those other problems so we can care about this.
What are you complaining about? It's one more thing for you to have sex with.
And ... make sure you have (at least) two of everything important.
Again, this is all covered in "Confessions of a Long-Distance Sailor".

Yep. That's why I put it in quote marks.
"...almost all"?
Why would they throw you in jail? Dragging you through the court system for years is far worse. Jail is easy time compared to that.
Read "Confessions of a Long-Distance Sailor" before you go.

And make 100% sure it'll stay dry for the entire voyage.

It took a FOIA request to get them out into the open. Hardly what you expect from something the government is actively going to do something about.

Exactly how gross are you?
They don't have to beat the TSA. They can blow themselves up in the queue for the scanner and have pretty much the same effect.
Tinfoil mode off: Is that actually true, or are these just the people they show on TV whenever a camera shows up?

It's true. Just read the comments in the rest of this thread...
That's a completely different herd. Only poor people buy Android phones.
Nope. Just look at what happened to Toyota, Audi, et. al. because somebody blamed the accelerator pedal for their inability to drive.

WEP was rolled out around 2000 and is now broken in just a couple minutes
WEP was broken before it was ever rolled out. It was designed by people with very little clue.
Hackers don't usually 'break' things, they find holes in designs.
I remember opening a friend's Peugeot with my HP200LX and a TV remote control emulator.
The keys used an infra-red system with a receiver above the rear view mirror.
No, it's impossible. The positronic brain would break down completely before one of the laws could be circumvented.
