Breaking the shrinkwrap and looking inside would spoil the value, maaan.
But then, there are people who become experts in the provenance of shrink wrap. I.e. Nintendo DS games have folded corners in the shrinkwrap, they aren't just bulk shrinkwrapped. Etc. etc.
All the 'three strikes' triggers is action that empowers the IP owners. You think the content providers are then going to send lawyers out to attack themselves?
I would compare Uber to Napster, really. In terms of their predicted longevity. In terms of who they are up against. And in terms of who their customer base is. Literally on that last one.
Sony was never the world's best electronics company.
Not even the worlds best consumer electronics company.
There have been really good consumer electronic products from Sony in the past. But never the best, except maybe in the category of the Trinitron. But that was a long time ago now.
When the other car breaks down the owner just sideloads a fix. The apple car has to be towed to a Genius Garage where you wait in the line behind the hipsters getting their wiper fluid upgraded to the new color.
9/11 wasn't 3000 random people. It was 3000 rather important people in an important building for the western economy. It can't be compared to 3000 traffic deaths scattered all over a map.
The dept won't be shut down. Critical components will remain in operation and funding deferred. Everybody important will get back pay. The important thing is to allow the shutdown process to continue to smother some of Obama's new babies before they can be birthed. That still looks like a good possibility.
Clue: MLK was a politician, just like all of them. If he had lived, he might have evolved toward being a somewhat more effective and less annoying version of Jesse Jackson. Since he was killed at the right time he can be desiccated and enshrined.
The fact that, in fact, he had personal failings (his womanizing makes Bill Clinton look like a eunuch by comparison) no longer matters, and we can turn every quote of something he said in a speech into something he inevitably would have stood by forever.
The question is whether we should allow government to scale to be big enough for it to be a powerful tool.
We can clip some wings by not allowing ubiquitous cameras, or by limiting how big powerful global organizations can use the tech.
It isn't inevitable due to the existence of the technology. The technology exists for mass low cost execution of people. We don't allow large overreaching organizations to execute people freely. It remains a rarely used technique. Restrictions on the scaling of face recognition technology can be imposed, too. The use of the tech can be limited, the network of data can be reserved for use in finding only really bad guys.
What I want to see is a published register of all SSNs.
The Social Security Number was never intended to be a 'security key' for citizens. When I went to college, our SSN was used as our student ID number, in fact.
The government should simply publish each and every SSN. Who has each number, etc. Doing so would render SSNs immediately useless for identity thieves, and the financial industry would be forced to stop using them as a 'trusted identity number.'

Having top speeds over 300 and easily affordable
Heck. Give them a nice stretch of road in the desert and tell them to have fun.
Maybe even relax the helmet laws if they sign up as organ donors.
Report for duty, and you'd best hope it's not to do KP duty at a really remote ISP somewhere. Those USR Couriers are really dusty these days.

Yes. They currently each run at least one viable business that they created using 'that money.'

I thought Uber just had a server, or a bunch of servers, and a highly fluid 'work force' that could go away in a matter of days if conditions got bad.
You're saying they have an actual product they sell and they're not just standing in the middle on a deal?
I love the smell of smoldering new-agers when everybody else catches up to them and ahold of them. And they do. That's called 'progress.'
So what you're saying is that Google is too big to fail (at protecting your privacy).
That sounds like a variation, not a new theme.

To be fair, nothing from Google ever makes it out of public beta.

I concur with Linus. IT is the work for the janitors.
Good luck trying to fix something when it breaks.
You just get the install CD out of the drawer, correct?
(dear god, I hope there isn't some SystemD dude out there saying 'yeah, right' without recognizing sarcasm)
Web servers run on top of the Internet.
Saying they 'run the Internet' is like saying kitchen sinks run your plumbing system.
For certain values of 'failure.'
Straighten your necktie now, dude.
You could always suffer more and try to use gEDA.
Point of order: OSX is not a 'desktop Unix' any more than Android is a 'Mobile Unix.'
Neither is a Unix.
Very little of America's oil comes from the terrorists. We import very little Middle Eastern oil.
Europe would be fucked if ME oil was cut off, though.
Remove your tattoo and replace it with something else. What a hack that would be.
