Geesh.. give the guy a break. He does't have wifi at home, so there is no infrastructure for this and my guess is they'd rather not have to by the most expensive printer for someone who doesn't print very often.

Some AirPrint compatible devices support ad-hoc mode, and even if they don't its hardly expensive to setup compared to data costs for uploading and downloading every document you want to print over 3G/4G

BTW, I read "penchant for maliciously storing data about people" and initially thought Apple.

A company that makes huge profits by selling premium grade hardware items and provides a supporting ecosystem for those that want it, vs an advertising company that actively does all it can to track and identify your personal habits. Right, apple is the one to be worried about.

My father-in-law has a AirPrint capable printer and has all sorts of problems. So obviously this isn't an easy solution.

I once bought a car that was a lemon so I guess this idea of internal combustion automobiles is not an easy solution and should be ignored by all.

How about just getting him a fucking computer that doesn't rely on internet access and the services of a company with a penchant for maliciously storing data about people, to send a document to a printer next to him?

Even an iOS device can print without an internet connection, if your printer supports AirPrint, so why would you accept such a crippled device?

I grew up in SA.

A trip back to Adelaide now is like a trip back in time. Comparing to queensland is like saying "Florida isn't that bad, at least we aren't in Alabama fucking our sisters".

Let me know when I can go to a supermarket after 8pm somewhere in the Adelaide suburbs.

Fucking children is not about personal liberties.

That's the problem with you toe jam afficianados, you can't reject one thing rms says and accept that he has said fucked up shit. You just keep trying to make it sound like everything out of his mouth is absolute truth.

Kiddie fucking, child porn and fucking apes and dolphins. That's insightful?

How is that off topic?

The parent asked about the FSF forming a committee to define "what is evil". The founder of the FSF has made numerous comments arguing against the criminal status of the topics I mentioned, some of which are generally considered "worst of the worst" crimes.

A committee to decide on what's "evil", by the organisation founded by a man who thinks necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, incest and pedophilia should be legal.

Next: CEO of McDonalds named Director-General of the World Health Organisation

No, but probably a barn yard scene, a nursery scene, and a graveyard scene.

Wait till you hear what he has to say about necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, incest and pedophilia.

Tell me about it. My Visa is Chip+PIN issued in Australia. When I (not often now with local bank account) use it in Thailand, the attendant will ask (because the machine asks them) if I have a PIN for it, to which I say yes, and happily punch it in. The attendant though, will then insist I sign the bottom of the receipt that says clearly (in English at least, I assume in Thai also) "No signature required". If it happens once I have a locally issued card (and thus will use it more) I will press the issue and see what happens.

A couple of times I've had that "verified by visa" prompt come up (my card is issued by an australian bank) - apart from asking me to answer a question, it also shows a "Personal Assurance Message", which is effectively text i have supplied to the bank previously and is a sentence, not just a word like a dogs name or something.

Presumably the car would realise it shouldn't go through a fucking gate without confirmation?

What the fuck does this have to do with a wheel falling off a car? That is a clear and present danger. GPS is at best, advice. ADVICE. If i went and bought some piece of shit ford and the GPS gave me wrong directions, yes I would hold Ford responsible and expect them to fix it, but I would also not blame them if I was stupid enough to ignore multiple warning signs and a fucking gate, and thus drove onto a runway.

Or why they would be removed after a GPS app is updated?

Take some fucking responsibility for your own actions. They had to go through a fucking gate, and past multiple signs saying they shouldn't be driving there. Yes Apple's maps have a bug, and they have said they are fixing it. What has the airport management done to prevent unauthorised access to the runway? What have the drivers done to improve their own common fucking sense?
