In today's lesson, we will discuss how the same things can have multiple, different uses, depending on the current context.

He's one of the few who really took it to heart.

Just waiting until someone at WSJ googles for funny stuff Siri says. They will be SHOCKED at how rude she can be.

You need to hire a bunch of people who self-identify as black and/or hispanic. I wonder if you still get federal subsidies if you self-identify as blind?

The service that is accessible to the occupants stops working. The vehicle itself continues to upload whatever data GM feels like receiving until the vehicle no longer functions.

and it's not a planet

No, it will be sooner and less random.

yes, then drink the potassium chloride, and have someone time how long it takes you to die. that time will be sufficiently random for our purposes.

It was just resting before continuing on with the main course...that much turkey will put anyone to sleep for awhile...

sure. just stepping onto the surface of mars makes you a full-fledged Martian, with voting rights and everything. They also have conscription, because they are about to invade Earth.

...then the road made a slight bend to the left, and the car and occupants continued straight on into a ravine...

So, you are saying we have to nuke the core of Mars to restart it's rotation? I think I saw a documentary on how we did this here on Earth just after the turn of the century...

These are always the best laws...enacted right after an 'emergency', with no debate. Helpfully, the law was pre-drafted and just in a filing cabinet waiting for the right circumstance to pass it.

Of course, I'm not exactly sure how this helps with the 'emergency', that the NSA was spying on the French gov't. I guess the emergency for the gov't was that they finally realized that the NSA knew more about everyone in France than the French Secret Service does. The new legislation should even it up, by greatly increasing their ability to spy on their own largely law-abiding citizens.

Problem solved! This calls for a round of embezzling.

Of course, the UI looks and works like shit, unless you effectively code the UI yourself for each target platform, except on Windows, where it looks and behaves like regular Windows apps. It still looks and works as initially described, it just fits in with all the other apps.

Start with:

1) remove built-in data networking [as in, a cellular connection, not the car's 'network'].
2) physically separate the car's entertainment system from the network that used to operate the car [engine/brakes/ABS]

And yes, I know the manufacturers won't do 1 because they believe you didn't pay enough for the car when you bought it, that they deserve both a monthly fee just because you have possession of the car and whatever money they can generate by selling whatever information they can that your car generates and is automatically uploaded to their servers on your dime. Including audio and video from the interior of your car.
