If there isn't wide spread hardware adoption, its a useless 'standard'.
And there won't be, as no hardware company would dare cross the Apple juggernaut. They would be punished by being frozen out of all future liscensing deals, if not by outright lawsuits,.
And this is why practical monopoly is so destructive.
I always wondered why this effect couldn't be used as a power source on tidally-locked bodies such as the moon. Permanent shadow keeps the cold side cold and permanent sun keeps the hot side hot.
Hmm. Maybe it isn't being proposed due to the iron-clad McDLT patent.
What an evil fucking genius; he knew the true nature of our corporate-fascist politicians better than we did. One successful attack was all that was required.
You slowly awake in a strange hotel room, only to find your head in an ice bucket, your valuable, sellable body missing, and a note advising you to get to a hospital.
Though the note would have to be taped to the ice bucket lid, I suppose.
So no one has noticed yet? The US spies on UK citizens (they're foreign, so it's a-okay). The UK spies on US citizens (they're foreign, so it's tickity-boo). The two then share all their info.
Cashing payroll checks without fees attached should be a service provided by US Post Offices, along with offering accounts with an inverted fee structure (above a certain amount - say $10,000 - monthly fees start to kick in).
Hey Bible-Thumpers: you say work is a morally good thing? Then make a real difference in the lives of the working poor via the USPS.
My grave concern has been people flying RCs or drones (one or more) into the intakes of jet engines during approach or take off. If a large bird can take out an engine, no extra payload would be needed (save maybe a few pieces of titanium).
One day, hopefully before it's too late, you dimwits will realize there's this other option called WE. We are all humans.
Call me when the shuttle lands, Pollyanna. It's a nice sentiment, but until we all look the same feature and skin-wise, there will still be tribal us vs. them attitudes; we should try to rise above it, but it's hard-wired down to the lizard brain level of herd mentality.
This is another case of corporate S.O.P: declare bankruptcy for one reason; to void any and all obligations to current - and especially - retired employees.
So as you gorge on your new Twinkiees, try to ignore that no doubt they were made by newly or re-hired workers from the now-permanent underclass: longer hours, lower wages, little or no benefits, and laughable health insurance.
Not that much of this will matter to the increasingly Randian crowd on Slashdot.
Apparently, his final desitination will be Ecuador. My grave concern is that it will be child's play for Seal Team __ to swoop in and snatch Snowden back to the US (probably Gitmo just to make him even more of an example).
Yes, it will be an international dust-up for a week or two, but then what? Ecuador declares war on the US?
It will just be more proof that the US government can do whatever it wants to whomever it wants, where ever it wants, and no one can stop them.
But yes, even we have fallen into the trap of focusing on the man instead of the cancer he has exposed.
Such communications may be retained by NSA for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed six months unless extended in writing by the Attorney General, to permit law enforcement agencies to determine whether access to original recordings of such is required for law enforcement purposes.
"A simple question, Mr. Holder: how many of these extensions have you and your miserable predecessors rubber stamped? I'm putting the final touches on your Contempt of Congress while you ponder about lying. Again."
It will not be very long now until all insurance companies require you to plug their black box into your OBD II port or they won't cover you at all. And given that insurance companies are about the lowest form of life, they won't blink before handing over data from your car (in their box remember) to any official that asks. So as usual, this legislative Kabuki dance won't solve anything.
I'm betting at the end of this sentence, he will be remanded into US custody for Crimes Against Corporate Profits, sentenced while on the Gulfstream, and sent directly to Club PMITA for 20 years or suicide whichever comes first.

Oh, very few of those evil taxes... just fees for everything instead.
And if you do not pay a license fee to the saintly rights holders for each performance, you're worse than Hitler. Good Day, Sir!

I'm not sure I want to drop the border with Oklahoma; they steal _everything_! Even dirt!
How brown are you?
And no doubt their first application will be used to improve governmental surveillance systems.
