I live in Austin, and it's a hell of a lot easier driving than Boston, which has all the features you mention plus angry Massholes who will cut you off as they lean on the horn and give you the finger.
As far as I can tell from the TSA web site, PreCheck still requires that you go through the rapeyscan machine. So that's no solution at all.
Your vision is mostly here too, if you're willing to use Google services and Android.
So a whole OS that is dumbed down so even a retard would find it frustrating to use?
Look at how much money Apple makes from iOS.
The Boston Tea Party involved an amazingly large number of tea leaves. That doesn't stop it from being a single incident.
Bradley Manning's data leak was a single tactical incident too.
USA independence... All of them would have failed if the people involved had been anonymous cowards.
You seem to be unaware that the people who organized the Boston Tea Party weren't merely anonymous cowards, but actually disguised themselves as American Indians.
Unfortunately, the Internet is dominated by slacktivists, unwilling to put their money where their mouths are.
Or unwilling to donate money to a Republican.
So if the linux community would just provide the infrastructure for Optimus for the nvidia driver, you might just see that feature pop-up in their closed source driver.
So Linux devs should do a bunch of work for free, to help nVidia release closed-source-only drivers? Fuck that.
If nVidia release the specs for their hardware, then Linux devs will add the necessary infrastructure for Optimus, and nVidia can also use that infrastructure in their closed-source drivers. But it has to be a two-way win-win cooperation. The Linux developers don't exist to serve nVidia's selfish whims.
1. In general, companies don't want to rent perpetually from a sleazebag, and sleazebags don't want to deal with regular billing.
2. It may be arbitrary, but consider how many domains are squatted by companies that don't use them. The way trademark law works, if two companies have trademarks on "Foo", they ought to be able to have "foo.biz" and "foo.com". The way it works right now, more often than not one of the companies has registered "foo.*" even though they aren't using anything but foo.com.
1. Make domain name registrations non-transferable. That would eliminate the parasites who squat on domains.
2. Make a rule that if you have a domain in one TLD, you can't have the same domain in another TLD. That would eliminate corporate squatting of every single variation of a common word or phrase that they want to own.
The problem is that Oracle is saying that although the code is GPL, the API is proprietary, so by writing code while referencing the API Google has violated copyright and needs a license for all of their code.
The interesting thing is that if Oracle won this argument, one could presumably argue that Oracle's database on Linux is dependent upon the Linux kernel API, and hence must fall under the GPL.
Does your experience concern Philips CFLs? I have one that has lasted since 1998.
Maybe you shouldn't buy the cheap crappy CFLs. I have one from 1998 that's still going. It's a Philips, coincidentally.
To do nothing is to be nothing.
