...institutions like Wikipedia are supposed to keep decent standards alive

I think I see where the problem lies....

Hey now! Did we even read the bill? We don't know that it will be bad

But we have to pass the bill so we know what's in it!

I don't see why paper and pen aren't used. Even this guy's voting solution boils down to a paper ballot.

As for auto dashboards, I prefer them with discrete tactile switches and knobs. That way, my attention is focused on the road, where it should be.

I admire the fact that some folks are looking at making improvements, but there are some instances where involving technology serves only to complicate matters.

I may be older, but you can stay on my lawn if you wish. Just please don't make a mess.

There's no reason the replacement would have a fee on every transaction.

Actually, there are two reasons the replacement would have a fee:

1. To recoup the cost of the infrastructure.
2. To increase the profits for the provider.

These are banks, after all.

Let's look it up....http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

Since there is no "Right to Privacy" listed earlier in the Constitution, it is not explicitly denied here.

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Since, to my knowledge, no State has prohibited privacy, nor has there been a Constitutional Amendment denying a citizen's right to privacy, the right to privacy most certainly exists.

Unlike most codes of law in the United States, the Constitution does not generally apply to individual citizens. Rather, the Constitution defines and codifies the Federal government, and is generally accepted to be the limit of Federal and State powers and responsibilities.

^^^ THIS ^^^

Since I don't have any mod points, please accept a virtual +10 from me.

The funny thing is that people are not only complicit in having their rights taken away, they're PAYING to do so.

If I had fewer scruples, I'm sure I could find a way to make money off this as well.

I'm sorry, I couldn't understand you over the WOOOSSSSHHHHH.

That assumes that "anyone they can find at software company" is anywhere near the jail.

I'm a fan of The Onion, too!

You could also text HELP to **WOOSH!

I certainly didn't figure this to work at all. I'm actually surprised that the "Do Not Call" list works as well as it does.

As for me, ABP, NoScript, BetterPrivacy and Ghostery seem to do the job well enough

The company has the name and address that the driver gave.

I could easily give 1060 W. Addison, Chicago, Illinois as my address (assuming I lived in the Chicago area).

Is Uber going to stop me?

If the driver was only in the area where the pedestrian was hit because the passenger was paying the driver, then it could be argued that the passenger shares liability with the driver.

If the driver was an Uber driver, then both Uber and the passenger could be liable.

The driver could also face criminal charges, depending on jurisdiction.
