New cars in the U.S. must meet emissions regulations or you can't drive it. So a new car that doesn't meet requirements is not drivable and so is not fit for purpose. But they represented that it was. So if you bought one, they ripped you off. Would you prefer the government say "too bad, so sad, that's an expensive paperweight you have there"?
Or perhaps you believe you're a special snowflake entitled to dump any amount of toxins you want into other people's air?
The FDA's interest is in the device being marketed. If you're an idiot and want to play with your own pacemaker, they have no say in it. There is also the more likely case of a security researcher testing an un-implanted pacemaker.
They have no authority over personal use at all. If you want to make your own custom drug in the bathtub, they can't stop you as long as you don't market it.
I would suggest more defensive programming next time. For example, it isn't reasonable that the probe could make ground contact only 3 seconds after firing the landing thrusters. Determine the minimum possible time that is reasonable and don't even consider shutting the thrusters down until that much time has elapsed.
So if I want to ship free software, no proprietary library vendor will object to providing their headers and object files so it can be re-linked? They'll be happy with the free re-distribution of those object files and libraries by anyone who downloads my code?
Or perhaps they might require me to change the licence to a proprietary one, never to be opened.
I have on more than one occasion had to reject nice hardware because the maker was forbidden to release driver source to me due to proprietary vendor code they incorporated. They couldn't even give me object files and a header because their vendor said that would require a very expensive SDK licence and an NDA. Otherwise, they were willing to discuss an open source driver. That is, they couldn't grant the licence they wanted to on THEIR code because of the proprietary vendor.
But the code you wrote DOES remain yours, there are simply requirements on it's distribution.. If you use licensed proprietary code in your app, you are also restricted in your licensing and distribution choices. For example, you may have to pay for additional licenses, you probably cannot distribute the SDK. Odds are good you'll have to pay for it.
It's not like some kind of infection either way. Don't want to pay the price, don't use the code. Buit as far as unintentional infringement, who would you rather negotiate with to settle the matter, The IBM nazgul, Oracle's notoriously understanding legal team, or someone like Bruce Perens?
I find that viral meme odd to say the least. As if proprietary licenses don't have a viral property to them. You can't even glance at a proprietary app without getting EULA on you.
Certainly there is never a magical change and once you're drunk, you're drunk. The predictive (and self control) part is things like I'll stop now before I get out of control. Or now is not a good time to get drunk, I have to drive somewhere in an hour, I shouldn't chance a DUI. Or one beer and one beer only will be OK. Or even when I hang out with X I always drink more than I mean to, I'd best wait till after the big exam.
It could even include things like This call 911 exploit is an accident waiting to happen, perhaps I should make it 411.
The problem is that if you admit you were in the area you tend to become the prime suspect. Then you're up for a nice enhanced interrogation where you get sleep deprived and dehydrated until you're ready to confess to being the gunman on the grassy knoll. That's why more and more people won't talk to police.
That may not even be feasible. If you have a billion in sunk costs and it will cost another 3 to make it at all useful but you can also choose plan B for a forward going cost of 2 billion (it doesn't matter how much, if any, you've spent on plan B so far), then take plan B and come out a billion dollars better off. If you can part plan A out and use the more successful parts, fine and dandy.
Spoofing is a relative term. As TFA uses it, you are not spoofing since you are sending out a number that actually belongs to you. The ones they're talking about spoof the number of a legitimate business of government agency that does not belong to them.
It goes to Mens Rea which is definitely a factor in finding guilt. The whole premise of restricting alcohol until 21 is that younger people won't adequately predict harmful outcomes and avoid them.
So what problem with vaccines did the government supposedly create?
Are you saying that if somehow the decision was entirely yours, you would order GPS shut down right now? Do you have any idea how many things would get more expensive or just stop working?
You left out GPS. It didn't exist at all until the DOD put those satellites up there. UPS and FedEx depend on the postal service for the last mile in many places.They wouldn't do that if they could deliver the package cheaper by themselves.
For vaccines, many manufacturers were leaving the business due to the extremely high liability in that one in millions case where it provokes a reaction leading to severe disability. Now the Feds insure that liability.
You are now aware of 3 of those being cheaper (or existing at all) due to government.
It's funny you say that without even examining the downside. Eliminate all that low income housing so it can be turned into AirBnB space and suddenly the people who actually keep the city running will have to leave. Don't tell me they'll commute in, I've seen the traffic in the morning there and I've seen the parking situation. Once you can't hire a janitor in NY for less that 120K, business will leave.
Yes, but it won't be useful. Part of the nature of the DDOS attack is that no particular host sends packets at a high rate (too easy to detect and shut down). It's the sheer number of slow devices that floods the target.
They do it because the CAFE and air standards are unrealistic and stupid. It's good that we have standards, but we have raised them too high too fast and NOBODY can make those numbers without cheating in one way or another. Either through "creative accounting" "creative calculating" or straight up fudging the tests, as VW has.
The fix they propose to apply will make the cars meet those very standards you claim are impossible to meet. How do you explain that?
If you skip the fix, you won't pass emissions now that they know about it. You can either sell the car back to VW or accept the fix and compensation for lost performance.
Once again proving that promises along the lines of "this will only be used for legitimate investigations by law enforcement" are fairly worthless. Neither good intentions, obligations, nor monetary interest will keep this sort of thing secret.
As soon as they make sure it doesn't accidentally emit enough heat to warm your hands and that the Apple logo emits enough light to clearly see it at all times without accidentally providing useful vision in low light situations, it'll be ready for production.
There is considerable concern in the engineering department that it is still heavy enough to hold paper down.

Compare to the cost, weight, and power consumption of simple contact switches.

Determine the minimum possible time that is reasonable and don't even consider shutting the thrusters down until that much time has elapsed.
Unless, of course it's that they can no longer afford to go out, so they settle for cable.
Of course there's a lot of cable cutting going on as well.

(1) He's 18 years old - that's an adult with the right to vote, the ability to make contracts, etc.
But not old enough to drink, so clearly under law he has diminished responsibility.

I guess they should have tried a little harder to fit a urea system.
Yes, I know CAFE doesn't address CO2. It addresses NOx which etches buildings (and people's lungs).
I robbed that liquor store fair and square! What's this crap about restitution and jail time?
