Comment uhh, not so great.. (Score 1) 286

Now you can just close the curtain if you don't want to look outside, but with this system it's not possible.. And what about if you're affright of heights, great ride then... Problem with this is, yes it might be fun for some, but it might be terror for others.. Personally I think I wouldn't like it to see the sky/ground like this all around me when I have to sit for 11 hours.. Yes it might be fun for a few minutes..

I really don't like the new UI PC Settings, it's missing about every option one might need to control, at least if you are even a bit serious about configuring your PC..
Just keep the old screen for people who know what they are doing, and the other crap for people who actually never have to use it...

But these aren't photo's, these are drawings.. Yes in regard to real photo's it should always be illegal, but where do we draw the line with fiction..
It's illegal to kill a person, but yet we can draw it, we can watch movies where people kill, we can even play computer games doing it, but oh no then it's no problem.. But ooohhhh, it's a drawn (or rendered) picture of a ficticious young looking person, who the F cares, as long as no real person is used and hurt then people can do whatever they want if I'm concerned..
It's the persons who make real childporn and abuse real children that should be caught and punished... But then again, there are enough countries where it's no problem to marry and rape (oh sorry I mean consumate the marriage) a 9 year old....
It's all just a bunch of f-ing hypocrits....
It's just like the americans, oh no problem to show blood and mayhem on tv, but oh as soon as only a partial nipple is seen then the shit hits the fan.......

The bill was modified without any opportunity for public comment

How is that even possible in a real democracy?
This is just illegal IMHO..
But then also comes to mind, why can't a car manufacturer have it's own "dealer", but a company like Apple can?

But appearantly Lockheed has, as they will build and test one next year.. and why would you really need to upscale a 100MW reactor at the size mentioned, that's more then enough for 100.000 homes.. Hell, instead of scaling up, they should try to scale it down, So you just put one into your basement like it's a washer/dryer.. ;)

Yes, there will always be some cases that might be a shame, but in most cases it's a great tool..
Personally I really don't believe the story of the system switching off the engine while driving.
But 3 days late on a payment is a bit soon IMHO for such a measure. But then again, it IS in the contract the person signed with the company..
And well, car not starting when she needed to go to the emergency room, what would she have done if it wasn't the system, but a real malfunction.. And wouldn't it have been cheaper to just call a cab if it really was an emergency (or an ambulance)..
Ofcourse people to which something like this happens always have a story.. Just pay the damn loan, you're in exactly the same position as when you wouldn't have a car at all..
So I don't have any sympathy for people like this, they knew what would happen if they didn't pay on time (but as I said, I think 3 days is a bit too soon, IMHO it should give a warning (from the first day) that within a week the car won't start if payment hasn't been received)..

Comment 10"? (Score 1) 74

But I don't want a small 9" tablet, I want at least 10" or an 11" Nexus tablet. with small bezels (at least as small as my current Xoom Wifi)..

At the moment there isn't a great 10" tablet which is just as simple looking but rugged quality. I would like the back to be of the same rubbery kind as the nexus 5, that has a soft feel, and even with a bit of sweaty palms still stays in your hands.. And no hardware buttons other than on/off switch on the back (like the xoom) and a volume control..
