to not recognize that more government control of the Internet is a good thing.
To all conservatives, more government regulation is uniformly bad.
Unless those regulations involve telling a woman what she can and cannot do with her body, or are amendments preventing people of the same sex from marrying
I work in a basement 200 feet under the ground and I know it feels good to get outside once in a while.
Yeah yeah, ls671 likes to go outdoors, and therefore knew all along what causes myopia, right?
No. Obviously, ls671 works in a Minuteman silo and feels less twitchy and sees things more clearly after spending time outside every so often. This is a *good* thing... Naysayers are welcome to send him their GPS coordinates.
Take someone who is suicidal and crying out for help and to talk with their friends, and you block them from talking to anyone!
Why not just had them a gun?
And... make them "read Facebook's suicide prevention materials." (I wonder what the legal disclaimer is on that?)
What happens if the user doesn't give it a "Like"?
This seems rather hopeless. Does it go to the police with jurisdiction closest to the IP address the offending tweet came from? Or to the police closest to where the alleged victim resides?
From TFS: " It is left up to the user to forward the report to law enforcement
The user can only opt to *also* receive an email containing information about the reported tweet.
Click report to police.
As described in TFA: The user can only opt to also receive an email containing information about the reported tweet.
It's up to that user to forward the email to the police.
From TFS: (for those with even shorter attention spans):

Hydrogen is a volatile gas that is EXTREMELY difficult to store and transport, making it very impractical.
That may not always be true with things like "micro-porous polymer" beads/fibers - see: New hydrogen storage material could be added directly to fuel tanks:
When the hydrides are trapped inside the polymers, the hydrogen can be rapidly desorbed (released) at low pressures and ambient temperatures. According to Cella Energy, the micro-porous polymers can store as much hydrogen for a given weight as high-pressure tanks.
The micro-beads, which also encapsulate hydrides, are especially interesting for vehicular applications. The micro-beads resemble a fine powder and could potentially be poured and pumped like a fluid into vehicles’ fuel tanks.
The company explains that the encapsulated hydrogen could be safely used in either an internal combustion engine or fuel cell. Once the hydrogen is desorbed from a bead, the empty bead is stored in a separate lightweight plastic tank in the vehicle. When the vehicle needs to be refueled, the waste beads are removed from the vehicle and taken elsewhere to be rehydrided and recycled. Unlike hydrogen stored in high-pressure cylinders, new micro-beads could be refueled into vehicles just like vehicles today are refueled with gasoline.
Your last sentence is particularly telling.... It reads like the classic technique of a culprit accusing his accusers of exactly the thing that he himself did so as to deflect criticism.
Like O.J. and and V. Putin vowing to find the "real killers."
Whoa, whoa - WHOA. They're going after Lennart Poettering?
Remind me again which pirate was sentenced to death
Jack Sparrow.
Forcing him to use Windows would have been worse...
Recall that Patrick Henry exclaimed "Give me liberty, or give me death!" not "... or give me Windows!"
That's standard modus operandi.
Embezzle $1m, go to jail.
Embezzle $100m, get fired as CEO, collect massive golden parachute, go work for someone else for more money.
Embezzle $10b, get a taxpayer funded bailout.
Reminds me of a bit in the Eddie Izzard standup performance Dress to Kill:
You know, we think if somebody kills someone, that's murder, you go to prison. You kill 10 people, you go to Texas, they hit you with a brick, that's what they do. 20 people, you go to a hospital, they look through a small window at you forever. And over that, we can't deal with it, you know? Someone's killed 100,000 people. We're almost going, "Well done! You killed 100,000 people? You must get up very early in the morning. I can't even get down the gym! Your diary must look odd: “Get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death – lunch- death, death, death -afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower"
And there's back doors in it for the Chinese.
Maybe not just for them. It's nice that Microsoft is willing to let people (and pirates - Arrrg!) upgrade for free, but it makes me wonder why they're so eager for everyone to have Windows 10. What's in it that they want to be ubiquitous and/or available? Backdoors, spyware, etc...? New ways to track people or help the authorities (and various 3-letter agencies) track usage? More A/V controls to appease the RIAA and MPAA?
Ya, I get they want more market share - in something - but it still sounds fishy.
"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that."
So HAL got a little bitchy about the hatch. To be fair, he did get them all the way to Jupiter on a single fill-up. (If Tesla could do even 1/2 that, then
Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) has complained about the Obama administration's failure to shut down the NSA's bulk collection of phone metadata.
Better yet, don't give your accounts the ability to post public messages at all.
Even better yet, don't cheat; spend time actually learning things so you can be a productive, contributing member of society.
Give them the choice of suicide or ______________. (fill in the blank)
I'll start: Using
Why carry a wallet and a phone with you if you only need the phone?
On the other hand, why carry a phone when all you *need* is your wallet? And a wallet doesn't have potential battery or reception problems, etc... Seriously, a phone is not really a necessity.
Also, mobile payments further intrude on one's privacy and can be more time consuming that cash or a CC - for example, yesterday it took one guy (and the clerk) 2 minutes to get the scanner to read the qrcode on his smartphone so he could pay for his lunch. I can see many potential problems with digital IDs as well.
Yes, I realize that my usage and preferences are simply mine. And, sure, I have a cell phone (a Qualcomm QCP 1900 from 1998) but I only carry it when I travel and can't even remember the last time I turned on it.
Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
