That's a narrow-minded view. In the real world, most people need to get places on time and can't jack around for 30 minutes waiting for their car to recharge. Unless they can make some serious advancements in charging times, some sort of battery or electrolyte swapping solution is going to be mandatory for EVs to reach broad appeal (especially for long commuters and road-trippers).
I'll do you one better (this is a topic that I've put a fair amount of thought into for years):
Instead of people owning the batteries, standardize them and make them federally owned and paid for by a yearly tax (like an extra fee on your yearly vehicle registration if you drive a compatible EV). Since nobody owns the batteries themselves, nobody has to worry about them other then when they're in your car. Once one starts to go bad (which should be relatively easy to test for during the charging process), it gets decommissioned and sent back to Uncle Sam (or equivalent) for recycling. This takes the burden of battery ownership and recycling off the shoulders of the vehicle owner and lets the government (or whoever they contract this out to) deal with it.
If your modem is truly set to bridge mode (IE, it's effectively a Layer 2 device) and you're handing the Ethernet port off to your own router, why would there still be an additional public IP on the modem?
Won't comment on Facebook Hack, since it's not clear to me why Facebook itself needs to exist. But to each their own...
My understanding is that Facebook needed a more statically-typed language (while still preserving the familiar syntax of PHP) in order to exploit more performance advantages when compiling their code to the HHVM, which started off as a PHP compiler.
Email is an insecure medium. Anybody that pretends it isn't is going to have a bad time. Sure we might have some tricks to secure messages along some of the paths it's going to traverse, but if you expect it to be secured end-to-end, you're naive. If you absolutely must send something via email that contains sensitive information, GPG-encrypt the message first and then send it, otherwise seek a more secure medium.
If the federal government really wanted to stop the spread of or even regress the legalization of marijuana at the state level, all they have to do is cut federal funding for various things until the state in question made laws making it illegal again, similar to what they did with the National Minimum Drinking Age Act back in the '80s.
MS couldn't produce a mobile device that anybody wanted (where ARM makes much more sense). What makes them think they're going to have any success on the server front?
What you're suggesting means that all of the social networks we're trying to avoid will still get all of our data.
It sounds like you would be a good candidate for the disconnected mode of operation then (IE, don't propagate information on your domain to other domains). The key here is control is being given back to the users, not owned by a single entity with a vested interest in selling your information.
What I'd like to see in the near future is the concept of social media turned into an open standard (much like e-mail) and built out as a non-centralized, distributed network, with DNS controlling which server(s) power which domains. Your social network domain could either be a stand-alone domain (think an internal site for businesses, schools, etc), or it could be hooked into the greater social network, where status updates, messages, etc could propagate between domains and, depending on who your friends with, you would get those updates to show up on your own feed. I'd really like to see a standard drawn up, and then have there be many implementations (ideally open source) of the actual software used to power each social network domain (like XMPP implementations).
With social media becoming such a huge part in a lot of peoples' everyday lives, it really is about time to open it up and stop having it controlled by any single entity.
I don't see this business model of theirs being sustainable. Not to mention nobody in their right mind is going to want to acquire them with these restrictions bolted on.
Couldn't you get most (if not all) of these automated tickets thrown out in court by citing the 6th ammendment (the right to face your accuser), since it isn't an actual person issuing these tickets?
APU 1C4 (same as above but with 4 GB of ram instead of 2)
Software:
Voyage Linux This is a Debian-based Linux distribution that's tweaked to run on x86-based embedded systems (like one of the APU systems above). This is a good option if you're a Linux power user and prefer to set things up yourself manually.
pfSense You can flash this onto an SD or mSATA card and boot straight into it. This is good for those that want a more turn-key solution. pfSense is based on m0n0wall.
Pioneer definitely sucks. I stopped buying their head units in favor of Clarion's. I shied away from the AppRadio not because of the UI or anything like that, but because of its lack of RCA pre-outs, not to mention they're shitty 2V (compared to Clarion's 4V). I figured that wouldn't be an issue for most people since they're probably not running multiple amps with 12+" subs.

But can he run Linux?

White student: Neil deGrasse Tyson doesn't have anything to say about racial diversity in astrophysics.
Black student: Neil deGrass Tyson isn't the emperor of black STEM professionals!
White student: (to himself) He told my father he was.
The main differentiation is that hipsters are pussies.
Fixed that for you.

It was actually Flavor Aid.
I don't think that would sit too well with the Eighth Amendment.
Wow...just about hit the nail on the head.

Eh, I'd see normal users getting more up in arms over this than what Facebook currently does (ads and selling their data).

As the saying goes, there's two types of languages: the one everyone bitches about, and the one nobody uses.
So the car could still be push-started if it was a manual transmission?
Well shit, maybe Austin really is the "live music capital of the world", because on any given night on 6th street all you hear is live music.
