I think there's a difference between agreeing to hold the manufacturer harmless for anything that happens and accepting basic liability for purchasing the car and putting it on the road. I guess jedberg's idea is that there needs

Thin laptops are like big screens on phones and cheap airline seats. Lots of people say those aren't the most important criteria, but the tyranny of the majority says otherwise. As far as this particular tech goes, the frailty of the b

The original quote was "Throwing money at social problems doesn't typically fix them." and it's really not far off of "money alone doesn't fix social problems". The difference is mostly of tenor.

Do you really think he was canned because of this one incident? There are years of bad behavior here. "We will, as always, be treated to much examination of the precise nature and mass of the last straw, with observations that it would

By offline do we just mean the passenger's device? If the POS is online, then what might work would be to hash the ticket's details (user id, journey, time) with a per customer secret. Embed that in the QR code and it's basic

I was going to jump on you to disagree, but I think you're partly right in that some people do understand something different from the word. Still, it's important to understand that there are people who disagree with you, and who
