This. Above all else, in the US, if gas (petrol) were taxed even.01% higher, 2/3s of the people I know would bitch about it. Frankly, it'd make sense to me to have them tax it and put said tax to use funding green energy initiatives, but I don't foresee Congress being able to do that.
Yes, but if I'm sleeping naked in my bedroom and my house is on fire and a firefighter comes in to rescue me, I sure as hell do not want footage of me naked being in government computers. This would fall under MY privacy or the individual who the government agent is trying to save's privacy. I'd say that, in general, emergency response (firefighters and paramedics), really probably shouldn't be filming everything.
Yes, and it makes not statement as to whether he did or not. I did not have the mirror of the site to work off, therefore, from my point of view, his copyright was still in tact.
Source please. TFA makes no mention of public domain. Copyright (as we all know here on/.) lasts far beyond death. So frankly I don't see where you're coming up with tat "fact" and I don't see where it violated Yahoo's ToS (admittedly not having read their entire, lengthy ToS).
I'm sorry, but you actually believe that they don't or are you just playing devil's advocate? Because frankly, the thought that they got authorizations to track all of these individuals that it would require, "Over 700 Servers"
How old are your cars, 30-40 years? I'm not a mechanical historian, but I believe that would be the last time that there were cars mass produced with no electronics in them. The "purely mechanical" car hasn't been around in forever, although, admittedly, some good ole dummy diesel cars through the early 90's were produced, but had electronics that you would have to have removed yourself.
Now, if you meant that the car has no computers, than we're talking a different scenario, but only slightly. US cars have had computers in them since the 80s, and any car produced since the mid 90s have a lot of computers in them.
Yes, but that's what's brought the cost down. Just ask Mulally about it. Unfortunately I cannot find my source on this right now, but I recall an article on this exact topic from a business magazine. In it, Mulally's mother called him nearly crying over the fact that she couldn't decide on a Lincoln that she wanted. There were simply too many options to the point that it truly overwhelmed her.
They then proceeded to redesign nearly every car they make to be built off of the same basic chassis. This allowed them to mass produce them, more inexpensively, making it more inexpensive to you, the end user, while still allowing them to improve the overall quality of their products. They then made it so there weren't over 100 different options of the same car, not counting paint even, making it so that there was a good chance that the car would be available at your local dealer, which further drove the price down, allowing more mass production (which is what Ford has always been known for).
Furthermore, most of the time, people who want the GPS center console, want to have that premium leather seating, those aluminum rims that you don't want, the spoiler, and the floor lighting, or at least some combination of more than just 3 of them. Getting just the one, probably less expensive than all 5, but getting 3 of them under the old system would likely get you to the same price point or damned near it.
Of course, you're here at Slashdot, which means that you think everything should be tweakable and customizable to the extreme, so why not do that on your own? You bought it, so just make it happen. I'm sure that someone out there has done something similar and will give you a fairly straightforward guide. I didn't even get off the lot before I replaced the horn in my hybrid (went from a "meep meep" to a "honk honk").
For example, a quick Crutchfield search found me 20, in-dash GPS solutions for my 2011 Honda Insight (that does not have Nav built in already). Of course, by the time I will feel the need for an in-dash GPS, I'll probably be buying my next car anyway.
If someone wants me to migrate away from Android to their pet OS, then not having Google+ will be the kilelr feature. (Having some God-awful Ubuntoid+ instead is not it though).
And No, I will not buy into the Apple world, either)

A million lemmings can't be wrong.
So tell me why you will not buy into the Apple world?
Apple has often claimed that they were either a hardware company that makes software or a software company that makes hardware. The latest variant thereof via Tim Cook, “...we’re not a hardware company."
He also suspended the writ of Habeas Corpus, which was later overturned. Lincoln was a great president, but he wasn't perfect (and anyone who says that anyone is perfect has more issues that I care to deal with). I'm sorry, but why should the attempted "wire-tapping" of the average citizen surprise anyone in this case?
...people wanting European luxury cars used to be told to take a trip there, buy it, and drive it for a few weeks so that it was legally a used car, rather than new, then ship it home...
If anything threatens the future of Redbox, whose business model requires customers to visit its vending machines to rent and return DVDs, it's Netflix's instant streaming service, which delivers the same content directly to their screens.
Wow...it took me a good long while to get that the sarcasm was in there somewhere...just wow. It wasn't until the second paragraph. I've been at work too long today.

The guy posted his e-mail that he sent to facebook as "proof" that he tried to go about it the correct way. I think it was on his personal blog.
Basically all he did is say "I posted to someone's timeline, this is a bug" and linked to the post he made. He didn't explain anything.
The communication was secure between him and facebook.
...and the NSA...

I would mod you up if I had the option. This happened to me too.
Apple is dead, long live Apple.

Damn. Where's my mod points when I need them!
Yeah, it's called Robot Chicken and it's TV for the ADD...

a software company. Was always going to be difficult.
Works for Apple...

In Soviet Russia...

Which in the US unfortunately is pretty much every trip that has an endpoint outside the core of the city....
Are you kidding me? Public transit in the US is abysmal even when you're endpoint is within the core of the city.
Isn't this basically what Roland's SuperNatural has been doing for years? I don't get it...
