You may work for the company that makes that system, but you must not be a programmer for them. Because there is no such thing as an unhackable system if that system has remote connectivity. It's literally impossible. If a system is designed to be remotely connected to, it can always be hacked. The only possible…

No, you aren't required to present all possibilities. Since no evidence is given, why publish it? Anyone can make up any story they want. Without evidence, it's just that. Something someone said without anything to back it up.

I'm a straight 48 year old bald white dude and I know I'm not "supposed to", but damn it if I don't like One Direction. I like nearly every song I have heard by them. (I even looked them up on youtube to see what the songs that don't get much play sounded like and I liked those too.) They are harmless and…

Looking at the thumbnail version before I clicked through, I honestly thought I was going to get to read about an engine loaded up with maryjane. That's what it looked like for some reason in the thumbnail. Still funny even though it wasn't that.

Same in the Philippines. Tons of people in arcades.

No it doesn't. A "sell out" as used in this context refers to someone who compromises their principles for money. When they call a musician or band a sell out, they mean they changed their artistic style to have success. In this case, I feel Notch is a sell out based on that definition. Not because he bought a $70…

Yeah everyone who isn't rich says they would give most of their money away. But almost no one rich does it. Even people who started out poor. So I would agree with you that most people believe they would give it all away but in fact wouldn't.

ummm. He could buy a house as good or better for $1ooK somewhere else? What are you talking about? Could he get a house like that somewhere else for less? Sure. But some places it would cost more. And nowhere would it cost less than millions of dollars. It's a 23,000 sqft house.

Are you being sarcastic? Because it's a 23,000 sq ft house with 8 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms. He's one guy. How is that not a gigantic mansion? I'm not knocking him for buying it like some others, but I'm trying to understand your comment.

I wonder....let me run this by you fellow Jalops....is it me or do there seem to be a lot more high end performance cars getting into serious accidents recently?

If so, I have a theory I want to run by you:

In the past, most super cars / hypercars were available primarily as manual transmission cars, but in recent…

To be fair...it's not only Tesla that does this. The NSX was supposed to be released years ago and kept getting pushed back over and over. I think in the case of Tesla, Musk is just super excited, he says whatever date his engineers or whoever gave him as a best case scenario, then when they are delayed due to…

But a lot of people do need positive reinforcement for being good. If they didn't, then large charitable donations would all be anonymous. But many are not. I'm sure some people aren't even very genuine about the good things they do, and do it for the attention, but some, even those who seek attention, are genuine,…

I don't think that's necessarily the reason. There are often 1000's of people working on big budget movies, yet directors and producers are still very well known.

They were never a band. Ever. Bands play instruments.

And with new Ferraris you get a warranty and can buy an extended warranty up to 7 years. (I think it's 7?) I'm sure it's not cheap....but it's pretty cool that they offer it.

Well, that's you. Obviously not everyone has a 2012 or newer car. Not everyone drives 1,000 miles or less a month, and in some places gas is down to almost $2 a gallon. That's less than 50% of what it was before when gas was over $4 a gallon. And if someone drives 2,000 miles a month or more and has a car a couple…

When he said "questioned" I took it to me they questioned his legal right to have the dog in the loaner. If someone just asking about the dog's purpose bothers him, that's too bad. And as you say, it's not illegal to ask for such information.

I'm not sure they could have charged him for cleaning...only if they had to…

How does that make you on the fence about it? It doesn't matter that some people abuse the law, this is a legitimate case. Lot's of laws are abused by a percentage of the population. That doesn't mean the law is bad, it just means some people like to take advantage.

He owned a Mercedes, had it there for service, and their standard policy is to give a loaner Mercedes to their customers. Now, if they didn't have one available because they were all in use by other customers and they offered to rent him a car from Hertz, that's a different thing. But in this case, they denied him…

Aren't a and b just synonyms for c?
