I'd give it a try. It's a potential way to reduce meat consumption, but so mac & cheese. Less meat doesn't have to be healthier.

While I do think taxi prices are too high, I still have a couple of problems with the uber approach. The main reason for the high prices are quite a lot of regulations imposed on classic taxi companies. Uber wants to take a piece of the cake without following the rules everyone else has to abide.

Well, the election system isn't helping either. It's very unlikely a third party will ever get a decent momentum the way the system is set up. On the other hand the SNP and UKIP (both rather single topic extremists though) managed to break up what was basically a two party parliament in the UK, so maybe there is hope.

You are not allowed to carry spiked fertilizer on a plane though. Lithium Batteries on the other hand, are allowed.

Just remember, the trick is to cash in and leave in time.

Actually "Manure" is an even closer translation. Though "Rubbish" is also correct, depending on context.

There used to be a time when shlashdots source was available... Or am I mixing something up?

Amen to that

Until people find out about the very high levels of Dihydrogenmonoxid in your diet supplement...

I think they lost a lot of fun potential with the demise of the floppy disk.

Either I missed the *sarcasm* tags or you have absolutely no clue how people work.

I have to agree to that. I large companies it is rather hard to find someone to listen to you AND in a position to actually change something. Even if the company knows about the problem, they will probably either ignore it, or find the cheapest way to make it disappear. Probably a new software module in the 2016 model.
If the information gets public though, they can't deny knowledge of the problem and become liable. I do believe companies should get a warning and some time to find a proper solution, not for them, but for those affected by their products, but that warning should include a deadline.
Oh and I consider it completely irresponsible, stupid and dangerous to go after the hackers and charge them with computer crimes.

Well once the stable state is reached, there is no more need for any additional breaking.

Actually it's more like "If it IS broken, break it more"

Do you really think the trial would have been public? The whole thing is about "national security" and releasing classified information and I seriously doubt his ability to turn the trial it into a public forum.
