Try 1988 and the Democrats. It was not the Republicans (who I am loathe to defend but, well, I prefer honesty) who started the Free Speech Zones. That was the DNC doing in NYC in 1988. There is a handy Wikipedia article all about it. I suspect you will not bother to read it though.
Yes, committing crimes is a justified way of making a living and any interference of that is government overreach. Wow... The logic is not strong with this one.
Wait - now you are consumers and not ride sharers? Which one is it?
Disclosure: I like the idea of Uber but they need to follow the laws. Disobeying laws you do not like is not civil disobedience - it is being a criminal. At least be honest about it.
It is a bit bloated and you have to install it from DVD now. It is called LinuxMint so the name has changed but once you get it installed there will be a handy quick launch icon for you to use. Now if we could just get the repos to carry the new version of Opera... Fortunately the latest beta versions install the PPA all nice and easy for you.
Your city is not the topic of the discussion. The world does exist outside of your little bubble. And no, disobeying laws you do not like is not civil fucking disobedience.
A very valid point. We are very guilty of that sort of thinking here. Whenever there is a bug or exploit on a common Linux distro then it is, "Linux is the kernel!" Yet if there is an exploit in IE then it is, "Windows has shitty security!" The actual Windows kernel is pretty damned secure and seldom has any security issues - when was the last time you heard of a bug or exploit that directly impacted explorer.exe?
An OS is only as secure as the person in front of it and the software that is installed on top of it. I often say that, "Security is a process and not an application." It is important that we keep that in mind AND that we separate the idea of OS security vs application security. There is lots of concentration on the former but not so much on the latter. As applications run with high level privileges we really need to be aware of this and secure them as well.
I found one application, I was being nice and beta testing it, that I could take another computer on the same network and fill it's log so full that it would crash the PC that was running the firewall. I never checked to see if I could use that to write something to memory or anything. It took the vendor many, many years to fix that bug and I had told them exactly how to do it and exactly how I was able to crash it and the PC(s) that I tested. All they had to do was automatically trim the log files - that was it. Otherwise it was possible to hammer them with so many attempts that it would crash it as it filled up the logs and the buffer.
That is just one of many such experiences and I mention it because it is a "security" application which should be concentrating on the whole security thing.
Anyhow, the first paragraph is why I tend to difference myself by clarifying that I am not a FOSS advocate. I am a FOSS supporter and user. We, and I have been a part of this group, tend to really bury our heads in the sand on such matters. "It is not Linux, it is not the kernel." That is well, and true, but does not really matter when push comes to shove. We will happily decry any other software security issues as being the fault of the OS - so long as it is not our OS. What the OS can do about this is beyond me... I can think of a couple of potential solutions but they would not work so well for end users. Then again, I am not sure that it matters.
It looks like some of that stuff is still free. After reading some of the thread I decided to investigate and I came up with this: http://www.qnx.com/download/
I have nothing better, or more productive, to do in my spare time so I may poke at it and see where I can go. I wonder if I can get it on a Pi? I have a Pi and can just use that if it works. I have, of course, no reason to have a Pi other than it looked like fun at the time. I have unboxed it once. I can not think of anything to do with it. Maybe I should get a Pi2 which, it seems, can actually take SoaC and poke at that. Then again, I can probably search and find something fun to do with a Pi but I can not think of anything that I actually would benefit from with it.
Wait, what? They are running QNX on airplanes? I realize an OS is just what is underneath it but, well, every time I think of QNX I think of nothing but cell phones. Is it really that stable?
BMW is excellent at this - so far. I can not fault them - yet. I will be displeased when they screw up. I am nearly certain that they will BUT it is BMW so I expect it to be repaired quickly and professionally when they do make an error. I am, obviously, a fan of BMW. In fact, my new (and first "bespoke") BMW is due in on Thursday. I ordered a very nice custom 640Li. I drove the test model at the dealer and nearly just bought that so that I could take it home and molest it in private. The dealer was not impressed when I tried to get into the trunk naked and smeared in chocolate sauce.
I have done a lot of cocaine - enough to make Kieth Richards blush, and I feel obligated to tell you that cocaine use does not reduce stress. It does make you gabby. It does not do a damned thing to relax you. That is what opiates are for.
That would help the three people that read the summary and maybe stop the one person from clicking through to the article. It's not a bug - it's a feature.
Everyone who does not agree is a paid shill. It is what we do here. You are obviously a BB shill - a paid one at that. I am retired but I'd take money to shill for a product. Hell, I do not even have to like the product. I do not see any job postings for this job, though.
No, that is just the noisy Libertarians. Most of as quite sane (though we may smoke weed). The ashamed Republicans have taken over the party. Most of us believe in moderation and that Ayn Rand was a moron.
I always thought that you should be allowed to drive drunk if you carried the appropriate insurance AND had a car painted bright orange that had flashing lights and a banner that announced that you are driving drunk. It should probably be speed limited.
FUD? Umm... Wow... I do not even know where to begin and I am not a *Windows Guy* or anything - though I do use the OS when it is the right tool for the job. Having said that... connect.microsoft.com -- I will limit myself to just showing the world that you are a moron in one single instance. You needn't pay anything - ever. It used to be bug-report@microsoft.com or bugs@microsoft.com to report bugs in any of their products. Connect is an improvement, I understand - I have never used it. They stop accepting bug reports when a product is out of it's life cycle. After that you could, theoretically, pay for custom support much like the Navy does for their XP machines.
You have an exceptional number of bad incidents in your history. I do not have an opinion as I do not know your circumstances but, perhaps, it is something you do and are unaware of? I do not mind bicycles on the road as a general rule. I dislike bad behavior in a vehicle of any kind. I have every kind of vehicle on the roads around me - many snowmobiles, ATVs, and the occasional bike. I try to be considerate to all of them - there is a time and place for me to be reckless and it is not when there are others on the road. But, I digress... Are you sure it is not you? I know of not one single other rider who claims to have the results you have had. Alternatively, are you being dishonest because you have an agenda? You are a statistical anomaly. There is usually an underlying reason for that.
I am listed in a number of physics papers but I have nothing to do with physics - my graduate was in Applied Mathematics. At the time we were doing more and more with computers (four years in the early 1980s and then another four years at the end of the decade and into the next). I crunched a bunch of numbers for them - some of it was verifying the computer's work - and did this on a number of occasions and for other departments. Thus my name ended up in a number of papers. It was common enough that I had to turn down two such projects while working on my thesis.
I actually expected a career in academia but, well, things presented themselves differently than I had expected. I am grateful for that but still a little surprised at how things turned out. But, I digress...
I can beat all of the Super Street Fighters up to II Turbo on a single PAIR of coins. They were always 50 cents when I played. I have not played in many, many years. If the mechanics are reasonably the same I could probably do it with the new versions, too.
I have two computers that do not load X Server if I have installed the nVidia Prime proprietary drivers. I can fix that, well I can ham handedly fix it, but I doubt that they are going to be able to find someone *regularly* who can do such things. I can secure and harden my distro, again - not something they are going to find consistently. I strongly support looking for who can support what. Doing it on their own or hiring a hobbyist (such as myself) is not the way to go. Hell, I have been poking at Linux and Unix for years - I would not hire me.
I expect it to be an Onion article, honestly. I am still shaking my head. I am not sure what this will do to the markets tomorrow but, well, I am no longer heavily invested in Google. I will be just fine. If they spike by noon I will just sell them and put the funds into Tesla.

You are trying to equate civil rights and taxis as being equivalents? I am not sure where to begin or why I would want to.

You can even install Chrome extensions with Opera. (I am a fan.)

TL;DR - Don't be silly.

Not boulevard - median, median strip, or central reserve for the UK folks.

"Ouch!" They say. A Unix admin slides beneath the bar and asks them, "Why don't you try looking where you are going?"
It was the best I could do.
Even still, unless you can do things like sell copies of it to other people - do you own it?
