The use of "presumably" makes me think the Examiner reporter is speculating (pulling that plutonium out of his ass). The other articles do not mention plutonium, just that it'll be non-fission nuclear power.
Executive Producer credit is often given out as as an honorary title for some less-defined role in the film production; often that role is only to be "famous name on credits." I suspect that Patrick Jean (and the others involved in the original short) got the credit as part of selling the rights to make the adaptation.
Per the article, they've raised money and it's under development. Sounds more like they're at the generate some buzz for some more money stage of development.
But I concede that randomizing memory (contents) does make a system pretty secure.
I used to think the stereotype of SJWs being self hating beta CIS males was likewise bullshit until we had article after article like this one where a white male liberal professor calls for the extermination of all white males. BTW notice how he doesn't say white females, that is because to bigoted fucks like him white females are to be given as prizes to black males for "historical oppression". He even says "At least a white woman can have sex with a black man and make a brown baby but what can a white male do? He's good for nothing. " So...yeah, sometimes stereotypes are true . ..
Did you miss the caveat the journalist added at the bottom of the story, noting that he picked the story up from a satirical news blog?
Not to argue, but if you ever clicked an "I agree to the terms and conditions" box, you'll find that your non-negotiable agreement has a clause that specifies a jurisdiction whose laws govern the non-negotiable "contract"
The state of Delaware is very common in these acceptance agreements. Presumably because their laws recognize a checkbox click as acceptance of a binding contract.
Perhaps this is not exactly doing business in the USA, but the overarching greed of American corporations affects us all.
Delaware has had corporation-friendly laws and taxes for a long time, so many US companies are incorporated there. This makes Delaware their "home" state, even if their only presence is a mail drop at a law firm.
It's a fusion-fission hybrid system: the lasers initiates a small fusion blast; part of the blast is directed to provide thrust, but the neutrons radiate in all directions; a shell of U238 surrounds the blast chamber and captures the neutrons, resulting in fission; the heat from the fission is used to power the lasers.
No one should be subject to a trial of public opinion, period.
No one should be subject to secret arrest and detention either. It's unfortunate that we rush to judgement, but part of the reason to publish arrests is to protect those arrested.
An added wrinkle are other corps claiming that Radio Shack is holding their proprietary customer data (presumably related to cel phone and plan sales) and demanding that such data not be included in the sale:
According to last year's committee report (http://achieve.lausd.net/Page/6840) the cost breakdown was:
Mr. Hill addressed the Committee’s concern from a prior meeting about whether LAUSD got a good deal on the Apple-Pearson purchase. He reviewed a slide that was previously shown to the Board, which broke down the retail costs of the device and the bundle of ancillary products and services, and indicated the discount received by LAUSD. The $768 per seat price paid by LAUSD included the following extras in addition to the 32 gigabyte iPad 4 with Retina display:
Special Case ($80);
3-year Apple Care warranty ($150);
Pre-loaded apps ($13-$21);
Pearson curriculum ($150-$300);
PD ($20); and
Buffer Pool ($20).
Mr. Hill stated that the total estimated retail cost was $1,000-$1,200.
The article makes this very clear. It wouldn't matter if the Pearson Curriculum were on an iPad or an Android device, they'd still be unhappy with it.
The contract was with Apple, with Pearson as a subcontractor, so even if the fault is all with Pearson, it's Apple that's responsible to the school district; beyond that it's between Apple and Pearson. And as primary, Apple should have been on top of Pearson to deliver their vaunted total user experience.
As an aside, all three of the final bidders used Pearson, so yes, it was doomed regardless of the underlying hardware.
In theory, yes. If they are in a jurisdiction that allows non-competes, and the new employer knowingly induces the employee to break the non-compete terms, then Amazon could claim tortious interference. But hard to see them using that against low-level workers - they are easy to replace, and the courts will probably deem the non-compete unconscionable. If Amazon fights, and loses, that may reduce their ability to threaten higher-level employees with those terms.
Canadian border agents have vaguely broad powers to search travellers; whether that includes demanding passwords is not explicitly stated and is untested in the courts. That's likely to change, however, as they recently charged someone for refusing to give up his phone's password:

I'm pretty sure just being of Jewish descent is enough for a prosecution in Iran.
"...the Zionist manager of Facebook..."
Generally Islam has been tolerant of other religions as long as they keep to their own kind, pay their taxes, and don't get uppity. Zionism is in the getting uppity category.
Google at its disposal a very well funded surface drone force (AKA lobbyists) - with enough whining and dining I'm sure they can get the regulatory approval they need.
It could be that finished goods destined for export get tax breaks/incentives, and China simply assesses duties on everything coming back in to prevent manufacturers from profiting from re-importing goods for domestic sale.
The school primarily serves the Charedi Jewish community of Stamford Hill. The Charedi community do not have access to television, the internet or other media, and members of the community aim to lead modest lives governed by the codes of Torah observance.
I think that was just the usual background phishing that's always going on.
On the 19th I got a legitimate Yahoo sign-in alert for an account I had forgotten about and not used for the better part of a decade, with the only activity being a "Yahoo! Partner's Application" login. I'm guessing this login was part of this attack.

Is there still a company called Commodore which owns this stuff? I assumed it was long since dead and gone.
There is a zombie of a trademark still shuffling along. The original company itself is long dead and has remained buried.

So, while the dog pisses on the fire, you shoot into the air to summon emergency services?
If I had to clean up a place that was bugged by the NSA, I'd do the same - rip out everything and replace it.
I'd be tempted to torch the place for the insurance money and move.
