They still use lots of long and short haul trucks that route between cities and terminals.
There's also a push to have deliveries made you your local supermarket, department store, etc., for later pickup. No more having packages lifted off your front doorstep.
What's clearly needed here are self-driving cars so the idiots can text to their hearts content without threatening to kill themselves, their passengers, and anyone unfortunate enough to cross their path.
I cut over two years ago, and while I still watch some TV, almost all of it comes from Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Now (total cost: $37/mo).
Occasionally when I'm on a trip I'll turn on the TV in the hotel room and try to watch "normal" television, with all of the ads and crawlers and interstitials and interrupters... and I wonder just who would be dumb enough to pay over $100/mo for that kind of abuse.
I typed in "Donald Trump ch" and failed to get "Donald Trump cheating". In fact, I have to go all the way to "Donald Trump chea" to even get "donald trump cheated architect"...
Apple's stance, and the real question, is whether or that this is a lawful request.
A court can issue a warrant to search my premises. They could, potentially, hire someone to attempt to break into my safe. But they don't have the right to go to the manufacturer of that safe and require them to build a device that lets someone else crack the safe they can't figure out how to crack otherwise.
One might note that there was an armed presence at both Columbine and Virginia Tech, and yet those two schools were targeted anyway.
If armed guards are not always a deterrent, would a determined attacker shift targets simply because of the possibility there could be be a civilian with a gun in this particular theater? More to the point, would an attacker wearing a ballistic helmet, body armor, and armed with an assault weapon and two Glock pistols even care?
The assertion that Holmes bypassed the two “closest” theaters specifically to choose the Cinemark is not particularly telling, given that the first was a smaller Hispanic-audience theater and the second a dinner theater.
Nor can we give much weight to the fact that Holmes ignored the “largest” theater in his immediate area. The lack of nearby parking and the constant flow of pedestrians, traffic, and armed patrols around all sides of the building would have made the Harkins a much riskier target.
The Cinemark Century 16, however, was a major theater close to home. It was known. The rear of the building was private and secluded, and Holmes could park just feet away from the theater’s emergency exit.
Sorry, but no. Not only was Umpqua Community College NOT a gun free zone by law, there were also people with guns on campus at the time of the massacre.
But according to reports, by the time one of the individuals with a gun was aware of the shooting, the SWAT team had already responded. Concerned that police would view him as a “bad guy” and target him, so he quickly retreated back into the classroom.
As Oregon is one of seven states that allows concealed carry on postsecondary campuses, you might try getting your facts straight before repeating falsehoods.
You are, however, right about one thing: Sooner or later, public attitude WILL solve this.
Certainly. State tax, county tax, city and municipal taxes. You can even define special tax zones within a city, something commonly done to build yet another sports stadium or arena financed with tax dollars.
"Even O'Reilly himself is now saying things like, "All right, the gay marriage thing, I don't feel that strongly about it one way or the other." If that troglodyte can evolve can't you?"
He didn't evolve. He just finds it advantageous to not stick his neck out. Rest assured, if O'Reilly thought the wind was in his favor, we'd still be hearing about turtles.
No fun questions whatsoever. Is the billing address in Chicago? How about the card used to pay for the services? If so, done and done.
Which doesn't stop it -- especially the internet services part -- from being exceedingly stupid.
Worse, taxing internet services only impacts smaller businesses and startups, as any larger company or corporation will simply setup things so that any services paid for are done elsewhere.

Either way, fewer truckers and drivers.

I do not watch commercial cable television with advertising. Period.
Five minutes of content interlaced with (seemingly) five minutes of ads? And, usually, always the same ads?
Drives me crazy, so I cut the cable TV cord years ago.

That's judicial overreach.
