Comment Re:Insurance (Score 1) 216

If you got paid to drive your daughter's friends home, then YES you should have a commercial driver's license... There is a difference ofcourse between just driving someone home (you know and maybe get a bit of gasmoney), or being a regular taxi (because that's actually what those services are)..
Why should a regular taxidriver need a commercial drivers insurance/plate while someone who is driving for UberPop or Lyft wouldn't (even though they are exactly the same)..

It's not legal to fly a drone over property without permission, it's not legal to film a property without permission. Also, it's your drone, so you are responsible to whatever happens if it crashes.. You can try to sue the person who damaged your drone while it was over his/her property, but I'm pretty sure you'll loose...

Comment Why run Linux on PC? (Score 1) 592

It's just the closeminded thinking of an apple fanboy of thinking 'why run linux on a mac', why do people want to run linux on a PC, or a PS3 or whatever device?
So many people so many whishes... Some people like MacOS, some people like Windows, and some people like Linux..

Comment Re:Is Uber a big government straw man? (Score 1) 299

Well, but if the terms and conditions aren't according to the law then those are not valid. Also in a number of countries investigators have priviliges so they don't have to obey some laws if that inhibits their investigation (just like a cop can run through a red light if they have their sirene on)..

Comment Not smart (Score 1) 299

That's not a smart thing to do, it will only make sure there will be even more strict regulations, and with this, they might even go for the people behind Uber themselves..
I still can't understand why Uber(Pop) thinks they don't have to obey the law.. And let's not forget, Uber isn't in it for bettering the community, they're in it for the money...
They claim they will reimburse drivers if they get a ticket or get their car impounded, but have they already actually payed out when this happened?

Comment uhhh.... (Score 4, Insightful) 319

Not that I agree with the content on those sites, but how is preventing such sites not exactly the same (in that I mean an act against freedom of speech) as what those morons did at the satirical comic office in france... If you really want freedom of speech, you'll have to allow for those hate sites, otherwise you're no better than they are..

And just plainly ignore the fact it's a commercial movie and to do what they want to do needs the explicit permission of Sony to be able to copy and distribute it...
And they simply don't even think about the enviroment, how many of those balloons will actually end up in the hands of people instead of just being dumped in the woods and streams and affecting wildlife...
The idea is great, but as always with a lot of those lefties, they don't think it through what the actual results are....

Comment Does not work.... (Score 1) 420

Personally I get sooo distracted with other co-workers running around, discussing stuff with each other (workrelated), having (work-related) phonecalls. When I was sitting in a large room with (only) 6 other people, i got less work done, and the work I did had much more bugs than when I was sitting alone or with only 1 other co-worker..
socially, yes it's much more fun, but from a business standpoint (at least for me), it's better to have no visual or audio distractions..
And let's not forget, some people are just much better as closing themselves off to their surrounding..
