In Europe we often go down onto the tarmac to board both doors, and nary a low-enforcement official in place. But then, we're only psychotically paranoid, not suicidally paranoid like you Americans - and we've had better security for a lot more than 13 years...
Yes, I guess it would be a shame if someone called a SWAT team on an actual drug den and put the police at risk, instead of it being some nice relatively harmless homeowner.
Hmm, on the other hand, what about SWATting Cliven Bundy's place? :)
So just like illegally dumping poisonous water into a town's local river? Or polluting the air of th next state over? Or hiring illegals and paying them less than the minimum wage?
Probably a half-way house between more regulation and less blatant protectionism would be ideal.
Re: Re: A Business Model with a Distant Similarity Was Once Common
Never in my 40+ years, unless there were multiple 'households' in a building. Possibly a lodger might need a separate one, but it's really one per 'living unit'.
If it involves EU citizen private data 'crossing' an external EU border (say from Ireland to MS HQ) then EU rules apply eith a vengeance. Doesn't matter where the person accessing the data is.
Hey, it's Florida. How about some SYG on them? After all, according to Nevada, threatening to shoot (federal) officers is perfectly legal, 'democratic' and 'free'.
Re: Re: This is one reason I don't own a Samsung phone
The new HTC One (M8) does have a microUSB slot in the UK. Must be different models?
One thing I haven't seen in this discussion is comments on HTC Sense. I'm not wild about bloatware either, but Sense really slimmed down in the v4 and v5 iterations, and v6 is supposed to be good too. I must confess, it's one of the reasons why I choose HTCs, and I don't mind a few 'bloatware' apps, especially as I often see suff on Play and go "but it's on my phone already... oh wait, it's Sense".
Therev are some apps like All-In-One Toolbox that have had some functionality for removing 'built-in' apps - although I think that's been moved now to a root-only function - I'd need to check my apk backups.
(As an aside, All-In-One Toolbox is really good for backing up even so-called 'protected' apks, as is Simple App Backup)
Until they want to 'phone home'. I was given a tablet that didn't have Google Play installed, and it's a royal pain because half my apks won't sideload since they can't check against the DRM^H^H^H Google Play account.
Oh that's right, anywhere Aereo sets up, everyone else round about who is simply watching free-over-the-air broadcasts mysteriously loses them because Aereo sucks up all the signal?
Very major analogy fail.
You might be closer if you mentioned someone taking a picture of your car in its driveway and not giving you a cut, but that's still stretching it.
Aye, you have no problem selling anti-personnel mines and letting your citizens break international laws, but gods forbid you might even slightly compromise an international agreement about copywrong!
That title was meant to be offensive - it was a direct comment on American attitudes to the rest of the world. Shame that the 'World Police' bit only involves policing donut shops (oil countries) and not people in genuine trouble.

Also, beams in eyes and all that. When Religious or Conservative types stop judging others, they can complain about being judged themselves.
