I was in a very popular bar with a group of friends one rather busy Friday / Saturday night. They were playing all kinds of great music and the crowd was thoroughly enjoying it until somebody* played Wham - Careless Whisper. I have vivid memory of one drunk guy about to smash the jukebox and swearing while the mood in the bar was destroyed for almost 8 minutes.
My account (US, MN) with Virgin Mobile is already doing this with "free" streaming music. A hand full of apps (Pandora, iHeartRadio, Slacker, 8tracks and Milk Music) don't count towards the monthly data cap.
Yep T-Mobile does this as well. There is a way for any streaming music service to put in a request to be added to the list, but I'm not sure if smaller companies get accepted or not.
Edit: There used to be, can't find the link anymore...
Really? Have you not been around long enough to witness bitrot and squatting of domain names? There were sixty-eight anchors in that page and one is no longer valid.
I've sent an email to Paul because you're too indignant to be helpful.
I've set up virtual networks in Tomato and multiple Wifi access points, and bound each access point to each network. Then, with iptables rules I've allowed/disallowed connections from/to each. I can write it up if someone helps me reproduce it.
S!=aS. I can't think of many instances where I'd pay a recurring fee for the use of a piece of code. Code to me is an end-product, meaning, I buy it then I own it in perpetuity. I still have my copy of XP from the Paleozoic era but it's still mine and if I choose, I could spin it up. I can only think of two instances where I'd agree S[is]aS; signing up for a full class, and buying tickets. I thought both of these were clever ideas but I'd still be hard pressed to agree to pay anybody else for this "service."
That said, hat's off to those of you who make this work.
Not a chance I'd use this "service" for any purpose much less install any kind of "smart" lock on my primary residence. A place used for AirBnB, maybe I'd use a more featured lock but never at my home.
I make the argument that the majority of our interactions with law enforcement (for those of us who are otherwise generally well mannered) stem from some driving related instance. This is the true pathway for most of us to get tangled up in the [broken[ revolving door of the legal system. I am 100% all for self driving cars and look forward to owning one as soon as there are no controls for me to interact with at any time during travel. i.e. no steering wheel, no gas or brake pedals, nothing and therefore no reason to be pulled over. I want the car to be treated legally as an extension to my home; anything that I do / can do at home can also be done in the car. I want a cocktail? take it from the house into the car while it takes me to my destination.
That is to say, you want to limit your mobility to that which is directly and entirely under the control of legislated authority with no possibility of circumventing laws for one reason or another.
I have long been arguing among friends and family that in the future it should be ILLEGAL to manually operate your vehicle without a special license. That license, would require to obtain it, a much more vigorous examination and approval than we currently have at the DMV. So, for those determined to manually operate their vehicle, there would always be the means for them to do so. But it should be sufficiently difficult that the average joe doesn't pursue it, given the utility of the self driving car.
Exactly, "Stop and Frisk" has no equivalent for drivers because it's already understood/accepted that the police can pull you over at any moment for a variety of reasons.
