Yeah. I am SOOOO fucked with the new Homeland-approved driver’s license requirements.

My birth certificate is a photocopy of a statement that says that hospital records were destroyed in a fire. My parent lost my original SS card, and Ive been going through hell to try to get new documentation.

Backwards Compatibility is a selling point for me; I know it isn’t for most. Its not a nostalgia thing for me; there are many great games generated throughout the decades, to assume that only the greatest games exist on the newest consoles is silly. Having 5-6 consoles available at a time (and a small army of

This whole recall has been a shit-show from day one. Federal regulators (spurred by Mark Rosekind, I’m sure) were urging people not to drive affected cars until they were fixed, yet some recalls took OVER a year from announcement to have parts. The manufacturer was understandably not able to meet production

Amazon Marketplace has been a haven for counterfeit merchandise for years. just try to get a genuine Panasonic battery for a digital camera - oh sure, it seems legit that the silkscreening on it will be crooked and blurry.

Amazon needs to be held responsible to ensure these are legitimate issues more than the

Incorrect. The best dash ever belongs, of course, to the Fit/Jazz 2G, with the most prominent gauge being fuel economy. Because of course that is the most important metric to the purchaser of such a vehicle.

If you leave your doors open on your house and you are robbed, the insurance company that would pay the claim would find the same fault; that in the owner allowing easier access. If your car is stolen with the keys in it, you will find the same issue. There has to be some attempt at ensuring security; that has to be

Why does everything have to be black and white with people? Just go to a fucking station that pumps gas for you, this ruling certainly doesnt prohibit station from pumping gas.

I had a bad flap on my gas tank for a year before Jeep decided to recall it. If I had it filled at a full service station, the mess would be

It just shows how restrictive regulation is unimaginative and exclusive.

Real name rules are bullshit.

“that the new usernames require at least two letters, and must have no numbers, no symbols, and no emojis.”

My buddy’s First name is 1 letter. His actual name on his birth certificate is “J” Not Jason, Not Jay. When Google instituted this, he listed an alternate spelling, but that was also

No, I’m stating that if you leave your front door open, and your posessions are taken, you are to blame. Are you the only one to blame? Of course not, but this is not a fault of brute-force intrusion. You pick analogies that benefit your idea of how this works, but like comparing downloading to theft, it is forced and

I’m justifying NOTHING; you are making horrible analogies, and assume that my opinion follows your shitty logic.

If there are hackable holes in software, it is a developer’s problem. As such the developer needs to fix these holes instead of asking people to not exploit these issues, some of which my not even violate

They aren’t using sledgehammers; They are using simple exploits because the programmers are lazy and left access available. When Blizzard had similar issues, they handled it correctly. Again, a similar situation would be the Equifax “hack”; Equifax was to blame.

If you’re locking your doors with plastic TSA locks, you

if you’re leaving doors open, your insurance isn’t going to cover replacement. This is a similarity. Again, akin to Equifax keeping stock, generic passwords; if you blame hackers for that breach, you ar really part of the problem.

A programmer that leaves the door open to easy hacks is to blame. Don’t leave room for exploits.

You’re a fine human being. A xenophobic coward that wouldn’t say the things you write in person and more on-point, likes to point the finger of blame inappropriately.

Im concerned, as a motorcyclist, about base model cars with blind-spot notification sensors that do not see motorcyclist. In a test in SF recently, a motorcyclist was hit between lanes (a legal real-world scenario in places that both ban lane-splitting and the free world that has embraced it) by an automated car. In

There is a man in Maryland that is on his 23rd DUI. If the state feels compelled to “endorse” such a driver that gets multiple DUIs, then there share in the responsibility; its time to start suing the states.

And in such a vein, I hope that with autonomous cars comes autonomous-only licensing that allows people the

Oh, fuck off. Holes in security that allow exploits are a result of poor programming. If I’m a legitimate store customer that gets my prices jacked because the owner refuses to lock his store at night, then yes, I blame the shop keeper. And I can stop going to that shop. But since I’ve already made my purchase, Im

Cheating is a developer problem.

Fix your shit.

32.5” inseam, all torso. Still above average height, and i can’t practically count on getting a foot flat. Showroom, yes. Rutted roads, nope.

Suspension travel has to come from somewhere; I get it. And I know how to lower it, I just dont want to.

Luckily, the Adventure Sport takes itself out of the running by not
