there's also a ui for browsing an archive

it also gives access to the settings and preferences

since you'd never need to access any of that it's mostly vestigial unless you're using it to browse a .vhd or something

i often send office files to 7zip so that i can pull out the raw images without anything getting reprocessed by the save dialog. this is particularly useful when you need images from people because they can just drop them into word or powerpoint and call it a day.

Vincent Fenerty, executive director of the Philadelphia Parking Authority, said Lyft began operation around 6:30 p.m. Friday and that less than an hour later, one of its driver's vehicles was in the process of being impounded.

Uber, which has seen 29 of its drivers stopped and fined by the PPA and their cars impounded, is not going to make it easy for PPA officers to identify them by displaying the placards.

yeah, the AP officially terms it "ride-hailing" because they correctly recognized that "sharing" is incorrect and misleading

that's not specifically better though as it follows uber's narrative of "we're just a software company"

ride hailing is also the preferred term for traditional companies that didn't run cabs themselves but provided central dispatch/calling facilities over the phone to independent cabbies.

the only thing uber does that traditional companies referred to as for ride hailing didn't is flagrantly violate laws.

uber doesn't want to be referred to as a ride hailing company because it implies it should follow those well established laws
