Several weeks of delay != 11 days. At best you can call it a couple of weeks, but that's still pushing the definition.of couple.

Go SpaceX, beat the bastards.

One day Facebook is going to tell you the answer to your mother's maiden name question appears to be incorrect.

It will start by downloading the wrong size image first, then repeatedly redownload the image each time the screen refreshes or resizes until you run out of mobile data.

It's because society has spent centuries observing how immoral individuals use lack of regulation to rape, pillage and torment those less capable of defending themselves, whether it be via trade, relationships or employment, and has decided as a group to regulate those areas to protect those incapable of protecting themselves.

Yes, some regulations go too far, and others don't go far enough, and a lot are outdated because society evolves too fast. But it is needed, and changes are needed too.

If German society as a whole thinks Uber is getting a bum deal with this ruling, then they must tell the authorities in no uncertain terms that they think that. Not just a vocal minority as is happening now. If the majority don't do so when given the opportunity, then they do have concerns about clean and safe vehicles and properly trained drivers which Uber needs to address before society will trust them.

Definitely agree with you there. Sex while driving for one, anything to do with non-hands-free devices while driving for another. :)

Paragraph e in the section permits it for emergency services personnel in the course of their duties.

A lot of road rules have emergency services exclusions. e.g. driving against the flow of traffic, ignoring control and command signs and lights, ignoring speed limits etc. They ARE expected to be trained to do so safely and only when absolutely unavoidable. If the LA County Sheriff's Department didn't instruct the deputy properly, then they should be held liable.

Some of us do understand it. Others define it as a copyable bunch of electrons because that allows them to steal movies and TV shows and games without listening to their conscience.

Others, like myself, understand digital is still property, but do it anyway because our own countries don't show these things on anything like an acceptable schedule. And we partly mollify our consciences by buying the DVDs later.

Hmm. When the new Sony research produces a sellable product, then tape will leapfrog disk by a factor of 10 again.

When did they add pitchforks to Skyrim? Or is this in Elder Scrolls Online?

And of course all the idiots replying take the standard there is one and only one explanation to anything. People, there are often multiple reasons that something happens, and often all of them are actually valid.

They weren't looking for a hot butt, just someone willing to have their butt moulded on international television. She was already interning at M5 and got chosen because her willingness to do that.

Of Betteridge's Law?

No seems a perfectly fitting answer.
