    Jeep settled to avoid further PR problems. Nothing was really wrong with the vehicle, but enough people were careless with it that the smart move for Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler was to put out a recall for added safety and settle with his family. I wouldn't say they had any kind of obligation to do so, and I very much doubt that any court would have found them to be at fault.

    In cases where a manufacturer may be at fault, some compensation may be appropriate, especially in cases of gross negligence. It is very much situation dependant.

    It's always entertaining to see insults being flung around by morons who can't even figure out how to link to a citation. If we were offline I suspect you'd be pointing to a phone book while flinging faeces.

    The sad thing is that when you're retarded, you clearly have no clue that you're retarded. An intelligent person would realise that opinions on ethics differ from person to person, and that employers have no responsibility to accommodate them. An intelligent person would never have suggested that it is "anti-freedom" to fire an employee who thinks it's unethical to do his job. Clearly you're not burdened with such a problem; like every other idiot you feel completely free to just string together words in whatever way makes you feel good.

    A small number of bad actors on the left are being given a disproportionate amount of voice to rile folks up since polls show 80% of people hate political correctness.

    Yeah, like Obama bringing in Title 9 "clarification" to make the left look like a bunch of burgeoning fascists. Or Trudeau openly discriminating by sex when selecting ministers, and passing laws to enforce far-left speech codes.

    Clearly this is just a couple of bad actors trying to rile up the public! Nobody should have ever given them any press!

    What I'm saying is the left's nut jobs are not even remotely comparable to the right's nut jobs.

    Agreed; they're WAY worse. It's a rather shitty choice but I would rather end up with a "dominionist" in office than another Stalin or Mao.

    I know that we have previously established that you are basically retarded .... yet I'm still at a loss to explain how even someone of your limited intelligence could conclude that firing people who refuse to work is "anti-freedom". It takes some next-level mental gymnastics to come up with that shit.

    I like how your "citation" never once mentions the word "privacy". Very droll.

  9. Those studies cherry pick the fuck out of the data. Every time I check one they claim that the cheapest plan is Canada is $40+. Meanwhile I haven't had a cellphone bill over $25 in the last decade. Obviously something is wonky with their methodology.

    Yes, some manufacturers to remove that functionality from the lock screen.

  11. Yeah sure. You shouldn't bother putting seatbelts and air bags in cars. No, just put that money into making sure cars don't crash.

    They would have a fair point. If you're transporting a $20,000,000 painting in your car and don't have it insured, I wouldn't expect them to pay you for the painting after the car crashes. Cars crash all the time for all kinds of reasons; you should have taken proper precautions.

    Blame women for their own rape if they could have prevented it.

    Well, yes. If she could have said "no" but instead said "of yeah, fuck me harder!", then the rape is entirely her fault. Just like if she could have said "no, don't delete my files" but instead said "put the media cache in the same folder as my files, and then delete the cache", it's her fault she got fucked.

  15. He even took a cood crack at it for a non expert: he had multiple backups. He just didn't have them in distinct locations.

    Having your media cache mixed in with your media files is not "multiple backups" by any stretch of the imagination.

    Having a technical experitse in a particular area doesn't make you a superior person to someone whos expertise lies elsewhere

    When you have $250,000 worth of media files you need to either know wtf you're doing, or you need to hire someone who does. Knowing that makes you far superior to a person who doesn't.

  16. The Governor General appoints them in consultation with the Prime Minister. I don't see the relevance. You seem to be confused about what the supreme court does.

  18. There is a kindof urban legend I've heard here from the days of wifi B and G that congested home routers sometimes drop connections whenever someone's zapping food in the nearby ovens.

    It's not an urban legend, and it's not just B and G; my original Chromecast operated on the 2.4 ghz band, and it would stop playing movies every time I went to nuke some popcorn. Kinda handy actually; didn't have to bother hitting pause. Started right up again as soon as the popcorn was done.

    As the other guy pointed out, the vast majority of that comes from coal and natural gas. Israel has control of some rather large NG reserves, so it's mostly self sufficient for electrical production.

    Those figures also don't account for solar-thermal water heating which eliminates a significant chunk of a typical households electrical needs.

    While solar photovoltaic production in Israel is minimal due to cheap NG, they do have a stated goal of increasing PV usage over the coming decades.

  25. This is a different breed. These people learned from the US. And they want the EU to be something like the US in terms of economic and military power and independence - the United States of Europe if you will.

    Without elected officials and the protection of basic rights? Sounds more like they learned it from Germany or Italy.

    There's been voices from the US that demanded Europe to become more self reliant in terms of military for a long time, Trump among them. And now, if the EU wants to do just that, it's suddenly treasonous behaviour.

    No clue where you got that idea from. Who the fuck was talking about the military, let alone treason? Can you try to stick to the discussion at hand rather than bringing in random paranoid delusions?
