I work for a medical software company. There have been some issues since a lot of folks travel, but I stay in the office so working form home isn't a hardship.

Understanding of course that the system of laws we have in the US is a social code of conduct. Exactly how are they a tool of bullies?

As with the law a code of conduct must be applied to everyone, and in a closed setting should be voted on by everyone so there is a consensus that cannot be exploited by a group of bullies.

Really? Why does a code of conduct only apply to liberals? What group has performed more violations of a civil code of conduct? Not the liberals. Regarding Google, yes they do both of those things but there's another group that over uses the "Free Speech" chant more than them. That group apparently doesn't understand the constitution, because they chant "free speech" when the government isn't restricting it. That other group also says whatever hurtful things they want and yet when it's returned back their reply is "Why can't we be civil?"

That other group by the way goes by the name Republicans.

In regards to your signature, I guess you are calling all white supremacists liberal?

They missed more than one thing. With a self driving car who will write the ticket? Also, who will represent the vehicle in court? In some states the law says the officer that wrote the ticket must be present to give testimony and there have been a few cases over the years that were thrown out because the officer wasn't there. Also, what happens when someone hacks the car, because you know that will happen.

Well it's owned by Dell now but I prefer Alienware

I've read through some of the comments (but not all) and this may have been covered somewhere else. I think in order to discuss the concept of free speech it would be helpful to understand the official definition from the courts. So I found this, http://www.uscourts.gov/about-....

Free speech does not mean you get to say anything you want without consequences. It also doesn't mean you can't get fired for speaking freely. What it does mean is "Congress shall make no law...abridging freedom of speech". If a company makes false claims then you as the consumer have the right to sue them. If they claim medical benefits that are unsubstantiated they must declare them noticeably. For example if you buy an herbal supplement from the store it usually says something to the effect of "not validated by the FDA". If they don't say that then they must be held accountable. The same thing goes for politicians, they must be held accountable.

" If you have an old iDevice -- iPhone or iPad -- upgrading to the latest available version of the operating system could substantially slow it up. Not upgrading, however, exposes your device to a range of security attacks. It's a tough choice."

There's a problem with that last part, Apple doesn't support upgrading old iPads to the newest OS. We found that out when we tried updating my wife's iPad after taking it into the Apple store. Once you get beyond a certain point hardware wise the OS isn't backwards compatible.

The size of the target area and the slowness of moving the beam make this at best a minor form of crowd control. Seems to be effective against a few people in a tight area that have no tolerance for heat... Or maybe those that were told "for this demonstration you have no tolerance for heat". In larger groups where you have to worry about a bigger crowd this device would actually work against you.

I agree with other posters, give local if you can. Give to charities that help people help themselves if possible and by all means do your research. When I was active duty we used to get a booklet once a year of charities, their "mission statements" and the amount of overhead they took from donations.

One day I hope to see an article about him suing Amazon and the US Postal system for sending messages on package delivery...

An interesting point, yet all web browsers use an interpreted language and would be trusted applications, I'm not sure how this would protect them. For an enterprise solution this does seem like the perfect thing. Of course if I can create a signed certificate for my software then I would presume the "bad guys" can do the same so we may be back a square one yet thinking we are safe and secure.

I would categorize this as "Build a bigger mouse trap and they will make smarter mice"

I agree with you, the tax exempt status for all religions should be removed.
