What would you think if someone came and took your car leaving you a note that it was reported as a stolen car. You then go to ask why it was taken and the response you get is"
"oh we are sorry, car theft is just so rampant we setup an automated system to repossess cars. It makes mistakes sometimes. We are very sorry about that, your car is out back, it might be a bit dinged up now though, we are so sorry about that"
So wait!?! Your admitting it is not easy to tell if something is infringing? That it takes "highly trained" person to determine if it is infringing!? Yet you want you tube to check every video they get in? Am I the only one seeing a problem here?
I'm sorry but why should I be ok with someone grabbing my junk? If someone walked up on the street and gave me one of the TSA pat downs they could be thrown in jail and charged with sexual assault.
Re: I doubt a would-be terrorist would be bold enough to try to exploit this vulnerability
Might I just point out a stupid thing with all this. So they are trying to stop someone from getting on a plane and killing few hundred people with a bomb or what have you. So they start the security checks.
You ever look around when in these lines? Hundreds of people standing packed in like sardines waiting to pass through this security bottleneck. If a terrorist really wanted to do something they could just put bomb in a carry on bag and set it off when they are midway though the line with everyone else all packed up tight waiting to get through.
Is it just me that just finds this kind of thing very sad now?
The early hacker movies it was ok. I mean the 80s and early 90s so few people had computers that you could make up just about anything and someone would believe it. There was even a certain charm to the sillyness of it.
Now it just comes across as being very sad that anyone is so computer illiterate.
I have more than once thought that "fuckyou" would be a good password for that reason. Then when FBI, ICE, DHS or whoever tries to get you to tell them the password you can gladly tell it right to their face.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Oh I get it, all you have to do is ask people to "do better"
So going with your spoiled child thing here take a look at Hollywood. They have a movie but they are refusing to sell it for several months just because, well because that is what they want to do.
That sounds a lot like the little 2 year old who will not let anyone else play with a toy. It is not that they are playing with it or want to play with it. They just don't want someone else playing with it.
Awww man, so your telling me that hacking into a mainframe won't really be like a sorry flight sim flying through a city? But, But what about hackers? You saying that movie was all just lies? Nooo!
Re: Oh I get it, all you have to do is ask people to "do better"
Considering the nature of the goods and what is happening this is more to the effect of this.
I can write an open letter demanding Longhorn steakhouse build easier to get to locations and charge reasonable prices or I will cook my own damn steak.
They have the option to ignore me and I have option to get same product a different way. I have not stolen their steaks by getting my own.
You happen to notice watching your trends that vinyl is actually making a bit of a come back? It would seem the hip "digitally aware" kids have found that the sound from a record is better than a download.
Point is that some people prefer digital and some prefer physical. If someone walked into a store and could not get a cd or whatever then that is a lost sale. It is very hard to see those loses in the final numbers because you cannot say for sure how many wanted it but could not find it.
You obviously do not live close to me. I have found that around here most teachers are totally worthless as they don't even know the material themselves.
I have one REALLY big problem with this mentality. Once you hit college you are PAYING for your education. I should not have to overcome a poor teacher.
This is why I gave up on this worthless system. I got sick of paying for classes that when I went to them all I got was an hour long story of what happened at beer fest over the weekend.
Well they make even a simple law so mindlessly complex when they write it that they have to come back and write another law to "clarify" the first. Problem is their clarifications need clarifications.
I would really challenge the idea that law is "Complicated stuff being taught by a person who knows it too well to boil it down (if it can be boiled down)"
Law is complicated because idiots are making it complicated. Often is you read a law the only "complicated" part of it is how you can take a single sentence idea and turn it into 10 pages of gibberish.
I mean these people can take "Don't scream fire in crowed building when there is no real fire." and turn it into a 50 page law. Is it a complicated idea? No. Does it need to take more than one sentence to say? No. Will a lawyer make it some insane monstrosity no one can read and manage to make loopholes? Hell yes.
Yeah, that is what I don't understand. They drove it like maniacs and killed the battery in 55 miles. So what? You drive a Ferrari like that and you are getting like 5 mpg and don't get all that much farther than 55 miles.
It will last 55 miles when driving like mad on a race track. Kind of like how most sports cars have their range cut in half or worse when driving hard and fast. The Tesla just drains it's battery faster as apposed to drinking more gas.
They go out and drive sports cars like sports cars. Yes it is rough on them but what is the point of having a freeking sports car if all you are going to do is baby the thing. They went out and drove it hard on their track and found that the battery died very quick if you actually drive it hard. They then picked on how long it takes to charge.
They basically treated it just like they would any other sports car they test. They pushed it hard as they could and told the results. In this case they came to conclusion that while a cool car it just is not ready to hang with gas car just yet. That is not really a bad thing.
Elon Musk just needs to grow up and accept some critisem. I mean Top gear will pick on pretty much any car they test. This is because no car is perfect. What Tesla should take from this is that they still have some work to do. Suck it up and get to work. It is not like top gear saying a few bad things will hurt you. Top gear says bad things about Ferrari and Lamborghini so yeah, what did they expect them to say about a Tesla?
That is exactly the problem. You apparently never have the problem I have with sportscar owners. I always seem to get behind them at the lights. They are sitting there in a sports car with half a million the light turns green and we are off! I look over then and see granny in a Crown Victoria blow past as the sports car goes 0-60 in ten minutes.
For some reason seems a popular thing to spend fortune on a super fast car so you can drive the damn thing at 25mph in a 55mph zone. So yeah, I bet it would get great range the way most of these morons baby their sportscars and never actually drive them.
