    What if it mean you could never, again, walk safely down a public street, or go to a beach without a team of 'muscle' security following along. Never go to a concert except in antiseptic 'box' seats.

    What are you talking about? It's not like he is Osama Bin Laden for God's sake. He's yet another corporate white dude that probably only 100 people in America could pick out of a photo array right now.

    This is Normal Shit.

  3. Not many more, I'd say. He was delivering a speech or presentation somewhere a few months back. He was stumping for support of some legislation or another, I don't even know what it was. But I laughed out loud when he said that he wouldn't be alive when this legislation gets to doing whatever it was meant to do.

    But hey, if Hef can get to 91, who's to say Brown isn't the goddamn Terminator?

    I think the word he wanted was "fascism" but I'm not sure that's entirely accurate as fascism is one among a handful of different types of corporatism.

  7. Re:Again, Pai demonstrates his stupidity on FCC Chief Tells Apple To Turn on iPhone's FM Radio Chip (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    He said "flip the switch" which could reasonably be interpreted to mean existing products. Regardless, specific models of iPhones would be a technical detail. His statement was without any technical detail whatsoever (beyond 'switch'). There is an ulterior motive here and it has nothing to do FM broadcasts for hurricane victims and more likely to do with the FCC poking Apple on behalf of the NSA. I know that sounds like tin-foil hat talk, but these days, nothing is outside the realm of possibility and nothing seems to matter anyway.

  8. I presume some of the tenants had to have their electric outlets blocked to prevent the electricity from leaking out.

    When it leaks out through your baby, I bet you change your tune...

  9. Instead, they should be held accountable for any damage any consumer might have suffer from because of the breach.

    That's a nice sentiment, but the problem seems to be proving damages suffered because of the breach. You can't hold them accountable (financially responsible) for something that might have happened. My information making it into the wild on the back of the Equifax breach does not exclude the possibility of the same information getting into the wild from some other source. No criminal is going to commit fraud while also indicating "hey, this data is from Equifax!"

    Proving damages is the difficult part.

  10. Why do so many people insist on comparing the Tesla auto-pilot feature to an aircraft auto-pilot system? Their similarities end at the name.

    I waited until the last season before I accidentally caught an episode of Breaking Bad in a hotel room one night. When I returned home, I started watching it on Netflix. Ultimately, I waited years before I started watching the show and life has gotten on pretty well despite this atrocity.

    No.

    Maybe there are some less than reputable stores who do, but as a matter of practice, this is not the case. In most states, you will lose your liquor license for this -- not worth the risk.

  25. I refuse to take any advice on HIPAA from someone who says "HIPPA", and, in fact, stop reading the post as soon as I see it.
