It is proprietary in that it will only talk to GM's (expensive) service rather than a more general purpose device where you could slot in your own sim card. $5 a day? That's well over double what I would pay my local cell phone provider for the same service.
Better would be to start actually selling things people want in Blu-Ray format. I refuse to buy DVDs of a series I just watched in HD and quite often series releases are still DVD only and so I buy nothing instead.
Same here!
With an ignition key, I know that I'm in control. If I step out of the car, I'd normally remove the keys (unless there were other passengers already) and do whatever I have to do before returning, knowing that my car would still be there. With the remote, even if I stepped out w/ it, leaving the car unlocked, anybody can just get in and drive some distance. Maybe he won't get far, but the damage would have been done.
In Europe, most cars use a key card system, if you remove the card from it's slot, the car won't drive.
Really? Most cars? I don't think so. Maybe most high-end cars but get in to a cheap hatchback be it European or not in Europe and you'll have a key start.
Renault isn't high end and it won't start if it doesn't detect it's card in the passenger compartment.
Mechanical locks may be mature but they are not in any way reliable.
People have known for years how to bypass an ignition switch and any decent car will have some sort of a backup anti theft system. It is also not hard to break a steering lock, in fact the police up here Canada demonstrated that some of the cheaper club clones (specifically the one that clamps to one side of the steering wheel and extends over the dashboard) actually make the car easier to steal because they can be pulled back and used as a lever to snap the steering lock before being removed.

Your suggested fix to disable bounce messages with the side affect that the sender then has no way to know that the mail never arrived? Not going to happen. If I ever did something that stupid, my clients would drop me.
In the meantime I've switched to Postfix which manages to do things correctly by refusing the message in the initial connection if the user doesn't exist so the sending mail server gets to generate the bounce message instead. And yes I know there are now patches and Qmail forks that cause Qmail to do things correctly but there really weren't at the time and my point remains that DJB never cared that his software could be misused this way.
It "worked" only as long as you don't care about the problems DJB had no interest in solving. It is true that you can't use Qmail to break into the host system, but unfortunately you can use it as a reflector and annoy the crap out of pretty much everyone else.
I was a Qmail fan and installed it everywhere I worked right up until the day several of my servers got blacklisted.
You're wrong.
Once they're comfortable in their current state they can work on improving it. You can't focus on learning new skills or searching for a job if you have to find a blanket for tonight or you'll freeze to death. Almost everyone isn't going to hire a homeless bum, so they need enough stuff to make themselves not look homeless. They get those things as handouts on the street, from picking through the trash, or from robbing people.
The problem is that when we give them money for begging, they go use that money for a little bit of food and a whole lot of whatever it is they are self medicating with. Change is uncomfortable and doubly so for someone who is a substance abuser. There are charities who help people who want to get off the street and your money is much better spent there since they can help more effectively by providing food, clean clothing, a place to stay and help for whatever emotional problems or mental illness that made them end up on the streets to begin with.
Actually it's worse than that, by giving them money you are making them comfortable in their current state and that keeps them from getting the actual help they need.
Here is the flaw with that thought: Vaccinations are down in some areas but there have been no reductions in the Autism diagnosis rates so the anti vaccination crowd have inadvertently disproved their own theory.
That attitude is everything wrong with your country right now. Just because he disagrees with you about what is best does not mean he is less worthy to be American.
As a Canadian, I can tell you that most provinces have a few months wait between the time you take up residence and the time you can get health insurance.
I'm not American, and as someone who knows a few Cubans, I can tell you most of the country isn't like the tourist zones.
Depends what part of the US you are from. The Americans I talk to from red states seem to have more problems with that then the rest.
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
