At some point in the race, they struck an 87-year-old woman named Claire Menagh, who was walking in front of the building and, according to the complaint, was "seriously and severely injured," suffering a hip fracture that required surgery. She died three months later of unrelated causes.

No need to pardon. Its stuff like this that makes it no wonder that a large portion of the world goes "WTF is wrong with America?!". Ok they are suing her what are they going to get from her? Money? Do you want her bike? Hell at 4-5 even if you really explain what happened its not something a child will really understand. That if they ever remember the incident.
think that she might just be a crazy lady holding a small hair brush and talking to herself? I mean we have plenty of people downtown by me that do stuff like that all the time.
Thats the issue with so much gun control. They want to ban guns to just law enforcment in the US or do something similarly drastic, but the issue is that a criminal isn't going into your local gun shop to have a background check done. The only thing putting heavy restrictions on the gun purchasing will do is make it take longer for me to buy a new gun.
Seriously folks-- does the sound of someone beaming down terajoules from the sky make you just a little bit nervous? Imagine a solar sun spot causing a sudden atmospheric defraction that sends the beam to say, Tucson by mistake?
There is a good book out about that. Sunstroke by David Kagan.
You also have to figure in that most people wouldn't be working for 24 hours a day. Most would only work 8-12 hours a day. So they are still going to make the money faster than someone to just has a $9.00 an hr job at 8hrs a day with 2 days a week off.
types of stories here? This is never going to happen. You know why? Because not everyone has a smart phone. Hell I can count on 1 hand the number of people that have one that I know. And most of the ones that do just have them so they can show them off. I can buy a universal remote anywhere, and I don't have to worry about not being able to use my TV if I drop my service provider for the phone.
And your opinion is really easy to hold when you don't know someone that has been put in a wheelchair by an uninsured driver. I wouldn't like this at all for privacy but I really do believe that if you have no insurance you shouldn't own a car at all.
There is 1 issue with your compairison. And that is we are talking about desktop computers not servers (I would bet there are more Windows desktops in the world than Linux servers). Your average user isn't going to setup a server in their room. The OP is correct the day you have the normal user in Linux the issues will happen because guess what the normal user isn't an admin. They will install things or download things they should not because they don't know any better. I've never had any issues with any of my windows systems but I'm not the average user so I don't download weird stuff and I keep my system up to date.
changing my tv with hand motion. Right now this would never work think of all the uncontrolled facial expressions people use all the time. As for voice commands that someone else mentioned. I used to like them assuming you could record the commands and train the system. Otherwise the computer will pick anything that has about the same length as the same command. That and my wife thought I was crazy playing a game and yelling commands at my computer.
I'm shocked.....

For once I'm not paying for something on Time Warner that I don't ever fricking want.
I have to agree with you there my wife is a controller for a multimillion dollar company and my father is a doctor and I doubt if either one of them could get a computer on a network unless a disk did it all for them. Its not that they aren't smart its just that they are not computer people. My father has people to do that for him and my wife has me so they have no need to learn it if they don't want to....No matter how much I would like one of them to. There are also a lot of people out there that just have no computer skills no matter how hard they try. Heck half the people I know couldn't format a hard drive if their life depended on it and that's something that I would bet anyone here can do right?.
You know you've landed gear-up when it takes full power to taxi.
