It's awfully hard to control the reactions of a crowd in a panic situation. With such a density, I doubt anything really effective can be done... least signals to "slow down or speed up"... in such situations, low-level impulses of the brain take over... see results of research concerning e.g. exiting a building... most humans will tend to follow the stream, leading to overcrowding of exits (while others that would give easier egress are sparsely used). So unless they seriously limit access (which, in turn, might cause problems at the point of entry), these sorts of "accidents" will always happen.
All the PCBs I've needed to date I wouldn't have been able to prepare without decent (read: pricey) equipment... double sided, through-contacts, partly 2 leads between 2.54mm spaced solder pads... no way you'd be able to come even close to the quality (and reliabilty) with a sharpie... get to SMD, and you're f'cked trying to do it at home at ANY reasonable cost...
1) Learn to use a PCB Design CAD Tool that let's you actually do the electronic circuit and provides all the layout items for you 2) send it off to a DECENT PCB house 3) wait 1-14 days depending on how much you are willing to spend 4) get professionally etched PCBs back, with decent through-connections, dual or multi-layer, stop mask, etc.
Of course, even this process won't keep you from making stupid mistakes. Just as you can do stupid mistakes if you etch it yourself. But as for the mirrored reverse side - any DECENT PCB house will notice as the drill holes won't match up. They'll contact you, or correct it for you.
There's enough manufacturers in Europe that offer a 1-2 day turnaround time... of course that service costs more than if they can pool your order with others...
"immediately report any suspicious items and / or suspicious behavior." - Because the last time, it worked so well - no persons were harmed by the insidious contraption...
F'ing paranoid @ssholes... US people who aren't killed by US companies' health-degrading food are taken down and jailed... and you wonder why the Chinese (and just about any other country on this earth) are kicking your asses in the workplace...
I thought many printer makers already phased out ink cartridges by making new printers so cheap that replacing the printer was cheaper than replacing a spent (or dried-out) cartridge... heck, name brand ink for ink jet printers is one of the most expensive things you can buy... (look at how little you get for your many $/â/...)
... the French will strongly protest against their politicians being spied on, and after that, they will pass the bill for spying on the citizens...
Similar thing just happened in Germany: CDU/CSU/SPD will be passing data retention laws for phone and internet metadata (up to 10 weeks retention period), while they previously reduced the retention of parliament's Internet access meta data to 7 days following child porn accusations against former parliament member Edathy... Animal Farm references, anybody?
... especially if you look around and find books dedicated to homeopath(et)ically treating illnesses by drawing symbols on the skin... (my take on that book is https://antifande.wordpress.com/2015/03/01/endlich-verfugbar-medizin-zum-aufmalen/, german original) How can ANYONE who is not rooted in the dark ages even CONSIDER such outrageous claims, be it these extremes, or the "regular" ones made by and for those extremely diluted solutions? But then, I reckon the ones falling for that crap also believe in an all-knowing power that - albeit knowing what's best and having pre-planned everything - can be swayed into working for you if you just pray enough)
Considering the reach of government in much lesser issues, it's about time all and every governments step in and do their job!
... just infect Kim with AIDS and Ebola, then cure him... as for cancer, some additional radioactive contamination might do... I guess once they've proved it works, they'll be able to sell it to the whole world, finally taking care of their people's hunger problem... oh, right, they'll just spend it on their military instead... after all, for what does Kim need a people?
As long as you can get a court to agree with you you can...
The paradox IMO is that rights-holders opposed things like streaming for so long, now all of a sudden they notice that instead of just selling a media once (as with DVDs and CDs), they can sell it to you over and over again, making more money in the long run, with far less production and distribution cost, plus - judging from reports - even lower compensation for the actual artists... so, for companies like Sony and the likes, it's a win-win situation...
On a side note: in Germany, place like GEMA already receive fees for every sold CDR, DVD-R, harddisk, computers, flash-cards, etc. therefore such a verdict shouldn't be possible here...

And how exactly do you ensure that you aren't part of some investigation? Being innocent doesn't protect you from being under false suspicion... given the level of snooping NSA, GCHQ, BND and the likes are doing, falling under some sort of false suspicion could be caused by a mis-dial or an errant email... or possibly by some government-critical comment you do on some public forum or similar... just take the reports of people falsely being on the no-fly-list...
I'm not sure if forcing those nut jobs that defy every decent scientific finding to home-school their children... Why is it children are supposed to be protected are allowed to remain with parents that put their children's life and health in danger? And that based on fear of sicknesses that are genetic and not caused by vaccination?
Why the special handling of talk stations or - especially - religious stations? Given the tremendous wealth of churches, which themselves are already exempt from many taxes, there is no real reason for them not to pay the artists... On a more general terms, all religions ought to be paying for their profits... (of course allowing them to deduct expenses for operations as well as any cost that benefit needy etc....)
... all that changes is that instead of calling a version "finished", they call it "Beta"... that way, at least they can't complain if the sh@t hits the fan as with the other recent releases...
... only scientifically challenged (read: morons) would vote on whether scientific results are true. Why don't they let SCIENTISTS vote on the issue? Oh, right, because 97% of the scientists stating the climate change is true would overrule the 3% that say it isn't...
Given the fact that France has had one of the most extensive data retension programs since 2006 and were still unable to prevent the terrorist attack should give a clue to politicians and police... I believe the contrary is true: By relying on being able to prevent attacks through data retention (which by definition will create floods of data hard or impossible to interpret) and expecting to catch anybody before the fact, police have obviously reduced their work on surveillance of suspects as well as regular police work... All three terrorists (much like the 9/11 ones) were on watch lists and known, yet they were able to buy guns and plan this whole ordeal. Good job, politicians! Fund the police instead of keeping tabs on all of your country's inhabitants and cutting in to their private lifes... Even if you had 100% surveillance of ALL the people, including the contents of ALL the communication, any person just slightly intelligent and versed in computers will be able to hide their communication from the state. Also, who ever called for checking every single letter mailed through the postal service? Or listening in to every person-to-person talk? Just because technology makes listening in on people possibly doesn't mean it should be done, or would be helpful to prevent crimes...
After all, hardly any computers comes with floppy drives anymore... so unauthorized access is almost completely prevented, better than any software encryption...:)
Netflix is obligated to do this to maintain its licensing agreements with the Media Mafia.
Yeah, I understand that. What I don't understand is why the big media conglomerates put such baffling restrictions into their licenses in the first place.
Easy. Because the Media Mafia extorts as much money out of their victims as they can. For some countries, license prices are a lot lower than for others... not exactly comparable, but look at the price per click/view that Google/Youtube pays for US access to e.g. music videos, and look at what Germany's representatives would like to have for accesses... IIRC it was well beyond 10x the amount... and more than Google actually makes from advertisement... which leads to a whole lot of media on youtube not being viewable in Germany... the big problem is that the value of money isn't proportional to the currency exchange rates... and this is more than obvious for digital goods...
Btw, it's not only limited to the availability as such - some features are just not available... e.g., try to find original US soundtracks on streaming Amazon media in Germany - while they have a pretty decent library, only a small percentage is available with the original soundtrack. While I assume not too many people actually want the English track, it SHOULDN'T cost more to make it available, as for sure all of the movies and series available are also available in the US and UK, so they must have that part. Anyway, as German translations very often suck (at least if you can speak English natively), I'm not going to pay for a service that doesn't provide me with what I want or need...
But, as one poster said - back to Torrents... if you can't get enough of my money fairly, forget about getting any...
At least they decided to put them where they really belong... in Germany, it appears as if a large amount of mobile speed checks (and in part, permanent also) are done at places which guarantee for a good income - revenue from most tickets (unless the drivers are so much over that it's something like a felony, requiring prosecution through the state) goes to the communities/cities, and is usually a calculated part of the yearly budget. Often, they are placed in school zones for a short time, before moving them off to places like two-lane out/inbound streets or ones that have an illogically low speed limit that doesn't really belong there... especially if the places have a low accident rate to begin with. Of course, being caught is still the main fault of the driver, not the speed camera.

You're doing it wrong.

Of course the same could be said about throwing trillions at the F-35.
... or all the money spent to save the country from the results of tycoons like him that caused the banking crisis?
Seriously, look at all the scientific advances and inventions from the space race ... advances for space exploration help us down here ...
