And what about for a situation the car doesn't have programmed to deal with? Such as narrowly avoiding an accident that takes up the road in front of it? How does a driverless car deal with that? Just sit there assisting in blocking traffic? What about when an officer on the road is directing traffic? What about when something else is blocking the lane of traffic, like road construction where the workers direct traffic into the lane travelling the opposite direction?

Yes, human error is most likely to cause accidents, but that doesn't mean there's no need at all for a steering wheel for the just-in-case moments that Google didn't think of ahead of time or just can't deal with in software.

One who is aware of this could check up to 10 drinks for their friends. Through effectiveness, that one might be able to convince others. Everything starts with a few who convince others.

Look at Google, for example. It used to be a nerd-only thing (I remember a time before Google was). Now, I can't think of anyone who doesn't understand when someone says "just google it".

But, really, if you want to educate people, teach them to drink only from a bottle and to keep their thumb over the neck when they aren't drinking it. Alternatively, convince them that if they ever take their eyes off of their drink, even for a second, and there are other people within arm's reach, just leave the drink and hit the dance floor for a while then get a new drink.

The only "safe" way to drink open drinks (cocktails/hiballs) is to drink them all in one go over a period of five or ten or fifteen minutes without putting down the drink, then do something else for a while, like dance or get some fresh air or hit the washroom, or just have a conversation with someone. If you're concerned about getting too drunk, a good bartender will not judge anyone, especially women, for ordering water, and if the bartender does give the person a hard time about it, that person should never return to that bartender.

Obviously, the safest way is to not go to the bar, but no one will listen to that advice, so if they're going to go out, they should be well-informed with good advice.

While a download might not equal a loss, a download does not therefor equal an inspired buyer. If even 1/7 of the people who got the film from him didn't see it in theatre, that would by $1million in lost revenue for the movie, but let's be honest, we all know the number of people who watched the pirate-version but not the theatre-version is much higher than 1/7.

In non-altruistic practice, Public Office is a method for improving one's image and reputation while also making connections to important people in the business world so one can get a great position in an industry after their term is finished. If they're being bribed/illegally rewarded while in office and it amounts to more than they think they'd make for the same effort in an industry, then there's a strong reason to become a career politician--a very different kind from the presumably-good people who actually want to change the world.

Really? Lulz is where you draw the line? Not "google" (verb), or worse, "irregardless"?

What happened to English is that it's not Latin--never was. It's always followed less-than-static rules. It's a conglomeration of half-a-dozen different base languages. You should stop making idealistic assumptions about what it should be that most people don't share and accept what it is.

I think he's saying there's a good reason why some people buy other things. He's talking about how good his experience with a Surface is and using limitations of other products as a baseline for comparison.

Until it starts being used in another way in which case the dictionary will catalogue that usage right alongside that one.

Dictionaries don't define words; they only tell us how people use them.

What part of "Automated" involves employees?

As someone pointed out, above: Dumb censors aka Automatic censorship, whether through school/business firewalls or those people who didn't opt out of their ISPs auto-censorship, etc. It's better to throw in the asterisk to reach a wider audience sometimes than to prevent a number of people from being able to load the page.

Personally, I hate the idea of automatic censorship, but it's not like I can stop it from existing.

How are these different in implementation, then, from $STORE_BRANDED Gift Cards?

No, see, if the cars catch fire *before* the explosives go off, that makes the scene less exciting. If the cars don't catch on fire, well, pyrotechnics can take care of that.

Fixed that for you. Not a question of "if"...

Who else is on the subcommittee? Turns out it's 7 republicans and 4 democrats. While I can believe that the Rs may have dominated the vote, it's about as valid as assuming both sides agreed on the cut, since the quote from Senator Lamar Alexander specifies "We've withdrawn..." meaning it wasn't just his decision.

Really, though, you expect one single person is the only one ever asked to decide anything? Well, you might, but I don't think you should admit to it, if you do. But in case you do, perhaps you should examine this:

Don't ask me why I decided to go to google for this stuff, but I didn't really need to. Even the first link in the submission specifies that it was a Democrat who chairs the subcommittee and who warned almost 3 months ago that the funding was in jeapordy.

Missing Option: Celebrating my friend's birthday. It sure is nice of the entire USA to have a fireworks show for her. :)

Besides, what better way to make sure you know what the consumers are experiencing by making sure your gear (no pun) is acquired from the same place?

If Apple (or any company) gave him special supplies, maybe they might deliberately make his item somehow superior (whether through special hardware or software options or optimizations that aren't available for the general public)?
