On the other hand, the pollution from the car you drove for 20 years amounts to how much exactly?
Practically nothing.
Probably less than the additional pollution you've caused by cycling along with a queue of a dozen cars running inefficiently in low gears stuck behind as they wait to try to pass you.
So the answer then is that all the slow driving cars are replaced by bicycles. Everyone carries on at the same speed, even less pollution and everyone gets a good bit of cardiovascular...
I suppose it depends on which ones you define as shady.
Along with most of the planet, I would describe every huge US, pseudo international, corporation as something that may well be shady. Every US TLA spook name I have ever heard of has shown itself to be shady at times. They all have what is called an "excessive sense of entitlement".
These groups will see it as their entitlement and their duty to ignore and breach any DRM used in this way. Using DRM like this would, however, rehabilitate it in the minds of a great many people.
I'm just not sure that it would even be allowed by those who feel they are our masters.
Just a room in the edgier parts of London rents for £200/week.
Despite the best offers of recruitment agencies in the past, I have never worked in London. I am currently as far south as I can tolerate - not far from Birmingham. London is somewhere you visit on holiday or travel through. It is the part of the UK that makes visitors from the USA feel most at home about crime levels, price gouging, drugs, unfriendliness and heavy policing.
Get a clue about the UK. London is in the remote south away from most of the country.
Didn't everybody in Europe switch to Micro USB a couple of years ago?
Almost 96% of the planet has had the opportunity. The only continuing landfiller is Apple and they are becoming less significant by the day as their market share shrinks.
KitKats are something that are recognised across the world. 96% of the planet wouldn't know a key lime pie if it fell on them.
Google is pretty bad at releasing later to the planet earth than the USA. For a long time, for example, we heard about Google Music which did not exist. There were people somewhere saying how wonderful it was but it only seemed to exist for a small group of people far away from everyone else.
Maybe they will start at 4 as they did in Scotland once. Do you know why ships engineers, including Start Trek TOS, were so often shown as Scottish? Because they were the best educated in the UK.
The Welsh followed the English attitude that a "classical education" was best. Knowledge of Literature, Latin and even history was seen as best. 12 times tables? I was taught up to my 16 times tables and still find them useful every day. So does my manager. He uses me as the room calculator.
As for evolution, perhaps that will help remind us that we are not in the USA and facts and science are more important than the strange medieval attitudes that your "Christians" have co-opted.
Any telecom who wants to claim to provide security cannot have any US office, branch, subsidiary head office or holding company in the US or any part of its empire.
Happily, this will still leave them 95% of the planet to do business on. A small sacrifice to ensure acceptable practice.
The flip side of this is that any provider that is vulnerable to illegal actions from US spooks cannot reliably claim to have any security. And all this is before they start to consider their own legal system.
It may have some fans, but the majority of the people on the web do not even know what Google Reader is.
Agreed. I'd never heard of it until this Slashdot article.
Please list everything you do not know about. If you cannot list that, how the **** do you expect anyone else to know the extent of your uninformedness?
If there's any chance of catching hell for being a bad cop, it will have a chilling effect.
You must be new here. We rarely, if ever, discipline our police force.
You must be an American. In the UK, we not only discipline them for their actions and inactions. We rant and rave at them from positions of authority, steal their pensions (along with the rest of the public sector) and expect them to deal with violent criminals protected by a stab vest tin of pepper and an aluminium stick.
Since when are real name and address called "private information"?
Aren't they public info?
Where I work, 3 pieces of personally identifiable information together are considered to make the whole thing trackable directly to you. This is any three of a list that includes things like...
forename
surname
email address
a previous IP address
account number
username
zip or postcode
the fact that you have already done business with them or "sister company"
and so on...
It's not that they are secret but the combination of them can reveal information about you to someone else without your consent.
What we really need is industry-standard secure-ish email.
In the UK we have http://ico.org.uk/ and the rest of Europe has something comparable. The problem is that corporations from your side of the pond don't like it. I think it has even been reported to the WTO as an illegal restraint upon trade.
Many companies make mistakes. Some large, US based, "international" corporations see it as their duty to break civilised laws.
He's not claiming that the data is stored encrypted. All he is saying that the data he sends encrypted shouldn't be sent back to him unencrypted later.

I would have said that a laptop is a freakishly expensive thing to be used for things that a tablet does equally well and much cheaper - cheaper as long as you don't get an iPad that is.
I would like to have a single device that is a lightweight tablet with a tablet interface, but when I drop it into a dock with a real keyboard, mouse, and screen, it switches UI modes to the right UI for tha
I a, trialling a Dell Latitude 10 tablet running Windows8 for work. It is very good and, at this point, I would recommend it to you. I still have to see how it takes long term use. The biggest fault is thatI can't get CISCO VPN to work with it but I'm hoping CISCO will get round to releasing a Win8(64) client. The Win7 one does not work. We're looking at an MDM so that may not matter.
I can't imagine anybody seriously believes tablets will completely replace PCs.
Nor can I, but I do think they can replace most laptops. If you can then stick your tablet into a networked dock with mouse, KB and screen, that might make a dent.
Oddly, I have a trial of a Windows8 tablet that can do just that. This could end up replacing all the iPads that we really need not to have.
Every camera I just referred to was a public camera.
The cameras in the centre of the town where I live & work are all put in by the local council - a public body.
The hospital where I work is in the UK and we have a National Health Service - a public body that is funded through taxes.
What misuse was made of CCTV in Germany in the 1930s?, 18th century France or Stalins Russia and so on?
My freedom is threatened certainly. It is threatened by hugely rich international organisations that feel that they are above the law and I am a useful source of income. Some of these organisations are criminal and some of them are corporations. Both are reputedly controlled by psychopaths but that's another conversation for another day.
Removing cameras that I mentioned would neither make me freer or safer. This would, in fact, remove my freedom to work safely. It would remove peoples freedom to go to town safely, especially at night. I am not free unless I am safe and I am not safe unless I am free.

This assumes that the car driver is insured.

Perhaps they are improving?
Shouldn't they be embarassed?
Yes they should, but they have grown so accustomed to it that they do not even realise how shameful it is anymore.
An increasing number are unhappy about it. Politicians are trying to show that they are aware of that.
I am curious to know if Rupert Murdoch has ever done anything good - or even tried to.
Except that international law ....
It has been long felt that the US does not believe in international law - or at least that it applies to the USA
I think the "From age 5" will be quietly dropped.

"Not in the original showing of the film."
When I first saw it - 1979 or 1980 - it was called episode 4 not IV. But that may have been the Scottish dislike of pretentiousness.
Why would the freest country in the world (except, perhaps, Iceland) be against it?
Are you talking about Canada or Australia there?
We still need that list.

Not far off. They are certainly made of lawyers which is pretty close.
It must be hard to ensure that every jurisdiction on earth will be happy with everything that you do
it's not that hard. just go by the German definition.
Or even any civilised one. Look at EU rules for example.
