It's not illegal to walk and text. Only to cross the street while texting. You can walk and text on the sidewalk and disrupt pedestrian traffic all you want.

So guns aren't a problem because not enough people die? Seatbelts are a waste of time because not everyone who gets in an accident dies?

Exactly. Obviously, everyone has to die from gunfire or car accidents for these things to be considered problems. </sarcasm>

And yes, I'd happen to agree that we're possibly closer than we've ever been. The situation with NK is quite bad, and the US relationship with Russia isn't so great either. We have the ruskies meddling in Elections across the world, and a Russia that seems to want to grab land wherever they can.

I guarantee you we are closer than we've ever been. Also, every time you breath, you are one breath closer to death, so I would probably stop doing that. /s

Yep, it was. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnbc.com%2F2017%2F07%2F1... Your point would be more valid if mainframe computers weren't used anymore.

If you're lucky the delivery vehicle will be drone equipped and it will just fly up and drop the pizza off.

You mean, like this? Still waiting.

Just read TFA... the summary cut off a critical piece of information. TFA states:

... the company apparently did nothing until November 2017.

That was what I came here to point out. Their release notes even state that it resolves "critical security vulnerabilities" - https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.wd.com%2Ft%2F2-3...
