Do you really want kdawson, samzenpus or timothy to take over? The editorial quality of this site would plummet even further which is quite impressive considering the current standards are about as low as they can get. Hell even the article contains numerous typos, grammatical errors, etc.
Secondly, you seem to be conflating things. Putting tracking devices in cars or putting cameras in your own home is not the same as installing cameras in the toilet to watch strangers peeing.
If they are the owners of the car, yes it is okay for them to do so. I hate to break it to you but personal property rights allow people to put tracking devices on what they own.
Do you own or have partial ownership of the judge's car? The person in this case owned the vehicle and thus it is perfectly legal for them to install a GPS tracking device on it. Did you have anything to add other than some stupid strawman?
Many compilers will throw warnings about that with the proper warning level set or if you are using lint as the GP said it will most definitely issues warnings about that line of code.
Plus $25 (just a guess, too lazy to look it up) for overnight shipping. Waiting 5-7 days for a screwdriver isn't an option when you have a crashed hard drive.
Only if you're an idiot. The point of the example was to show that the screwdriver you need is just a couple of bucks.
And yet I've swapped out drives in my girlfriend's Mac Book Air with a Intel SSD and it worked just fine with the hardware and thermal sensors. And I'm not the only one who has done this with no issues. So, no, you don't need to buy Apple HDDs or whatever nonsense you are spewing.
Yes, the same way every other OEM provides a way. Either open up the case in the case of a desktop or unscrew and open up the hatch for the hard drive bay on the laptop. It's extremely easy.
Yet, most companies who are using the technology based on those patents have by now most likely already licensed it. This texture compression, for example, has been in DirectX since version 6.0 which is nearly 13 years by now and OpenGL 1.3 which is 11 years old, so S3 has most likely already extracted all the royalties they are going to get from it from companies using that technology.
It appears that HTC will be turning the tables on at least Microsoft and extracting royalties from them for a change.
Based on what? If S3 had something that they could be "extracting royalties" from they would have already been doing so. Also Microsoft could have already licensed those patents and HTC won't be doing anything at all. I know, that just doesn't fit an anti-Microsoft spin, though.
Google doesn't ever sell your personal information to any third party companies like Facebook and other services.
Umm, you might want to actually re-read their privacy policy:
We will not collect, sell, or share personally identifying information from ad serving cookies without your explicit consent.
So, yes, they actually will sell your information with your consent. Facebook requires consent as well and you give them consent by agreeing to their TOS.
No, it's not since they weren't paying them to use it. It was a completely commonplace discount given to a big customer. Universities negotiate such discounts all the fucking time. The summary and article are FUD.
Because this probably costs 10 times as much and when the bureaucrats recommend purchasing this over something else they get a healthy kickback as well.

First, it's idiocy to equate race with the likelihood of being a criminal, as you've done.
I haven't done any such thing. In fact my post was going against the profiling that does exactly that.
I know! How dare people expect more evidence than the person is black in determining whether they are a criminal or not. Such madness.
So he's Mr. Hands?
Secondly, you seem to be conflating things. Putting tracking devices in cars or putting cameras in your own home is not the same as installing cameras in the toilet to watch strangers peeing.
So there are "plenty of cases" yet you can't even cite a single one? Methinks someone is engaging in hyperbole.

Ownership does not (or should not) trump privacy.
Yes, it does. Your privacy means jack squat if you are using my car which I can track all I want.
It's like installing bugs or cameras in your house to monitor your family without their knowledge.
So it's like another perfectly legal action?
Yes, fixing separate bugs that could have been caught earlier due to a code review...
Many compilers will throw warnings about that with the proper warning level set or if you are using lint as the GP said it will most definitely issues warnings about that line of code.
I contend that you can do all of those things without someone looking over your shoulder
Because humans never err, right?
Or cars.

Yeah, I mean you have to buy yourself a 4 dollar screwdriver to unscrew it. OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!

What we need, is something open and decentralised.
Oh you mean that Dia...whatsitname that no one gives a shit about anymore?
Yeah SCART was standardized in the US and called EIA multiport but you almost never actually saw it in TVs.
Then what kind of pre-HDMI/DVI connectors did you use?
Component, composite or S-video.
