We're not even considering the terrible road designs like all way stops. Yep, all roads have a stop sign. In theory you give way to your right, in reality it's whoever has the balls to go first
I've been to South Africa a few times, they have 4-way stop signs too. The way it works there is when you get to the line, everyone who is already stopped on the other entries goes before you, then you go. All-in-all it works quite well. In fact, when they have one of their frequent power outages and the traffic lights go out, the drivers just treat the intersection as a 4-way stop and get on with it.
Yes, you can turn the Wifi and Bluetooth on/off (independently) whenever you like. There is also an aeroplane mode, I guess this stops you turning on Wifi accidentally (??).
For your purposes, I suppose you might potentially leave the Wifi off all the time, and just load files on through the USB cable.
Neither. It's because the US insists on these procedures for flights that will enter US airspace.
I was in Doha earlier this year, and I walked past the departure gate for a flight going to the US - looong line of people, shoes off, waiting for the full-scan etc. On my flight to the UK there was the walk-through metal detector and x-ray scan of my carry-on bag, but my shoes stayed on and nobody asked to pat me down.
So... the petitiion should say 'enforce' or 'make obligatory' instead of 'adopt'? That hardly changes the 'entire debate' as you claim.
Even though the metric system is officially the preferred system of weights and measures, people continue to use the old units. New road signs, product packaging, etc. continue to be produced without using metric measurements. If the US as a country is serious about using the metric system, they have to do more than pay lip service. Nothing will change if nothing changes.
From that wording I read it as saying that you DO own the appliance, but not the technology developed for and used within the appliance. Being 'transferable' means you can sell or give the appliance to someone else.
Still, it seems a bit unnecessary. Preventing use of the technology is what patents are for.
I agree, a lot of the pain described in the video IS just due to change anxiety.
He does make some good points though. There are no visual cues on how to pull up the 'charm bar', get to the control panel, and close metro apps. Sure, all of those things are easy enough once you know how to do them, but it takes experimentation by moving the mouse around a bit (or poking the touchscreen in the right place) to find them. It shouldn't be that hard.

Perhaps he was dictating.
Now, all this said, if there was an EASY way for me to have Dropbox-like functionality against an S3 endpoint where *I*/AWS runs the box, I'd be game
Have a look at owncloud.
This has been done before. In the 70s there was a blues band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline.
Indeed. It's almost like it's two other words mixed together.

Your welcome
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
You forgot 'Politics'. Not sure where that fits in the ordering though.
Are there signs at every intersection saying which road has right-of-way?
Yes - At every 4-way intersection not controlled by lights there will be 'Stop' or 'Give Way' on one of the roads.

I had dealings with the LHM back then and I do fully believe they haven't saved a single cent on the transition
Maybe they didn't save anything on the transition, but do they expect to save overall costs/expenses in the longer term?

Gutsiest move I ever saw, man.

The most common given name in the world is Mohammed.
The most common family name is Chan.
Mohammed Chan. Must be lots of those.
Yea, that is one way to quickly become a blonde, bald, hermaphrodite with serious mental illness bent on world domination
They found him. Pope Benedict has now resigned.
Yeah. Historically.

You forget that the "MPAA, RIAA, and all those other guys" are NOT the content creators.
Or even worse, two adjacent people talking to EACH OTHER !!?! Oh, the horror.
That's nothing. The real problem they have is with the round corners on the bumpers.
You forgot this one: make all the trolls posts visible to all the other trolls.
Of course they might not actually be 7000 years old. They could be 4000-year-old archeologists who dug up 7000-year-old hunter-gatherer tools.
