Maybe they just want to stop having tech stolen and show up in Chinese products that largely look like clones of the stolen products that are in turn then sold back to the foreign markets at much lower cost. There is no way any american laws or tariffs would prevent or even could prevent China from having its own ideas, creating new product categories, and then selling them to other countries that would feel safe using them
"But information security programs need to be thoughtfully designed so they don't undermine the lawful tools we need to keep the American people safe."
Which one is it? you want our transactions to be safe and our information secure, or you want to argue some point about having access to data to keep us safe?
On the second point, who feels "safe" when the government, or anyone else with the same tools, can get into our private systems at any time?
We already have mass surveillance, yet, we still have terrorism, and crime.
Hey Martin, what do you think of Obamacare, and if anything what would you fix about it? Would you repeal it outright? What does america really need to fix about healthcare?
If you didnt spend so much $ on putting security chips in your ink cartridges then maybe you could sell them for less $.
Ink is a commodity, if someone wants to put generic ink in their machine, it should not be an intellectual property crime to do so, but since you sell the printers at a loss and make all of your $ on ink sales, maybe you need to rethink your business model.
What's next people? Coffee machines that prevent you from using your own coffee that didn't come from the manufacturer of the coffee machine?
Good luck with that MS, you don't exactly have a good track record with acquisitions, and this one just doesn't make any sense whatsoever, unless you are admitting you paid 26B for a self reported and highly flawed contact list. And your dreams of developing the next great social networking platform, if google can't do it, what makes you think you can? It's about right place right time, having the right everything...not things anyone would associate with MS
You are confusing South Carolina with North Carolina, Mark Sanford was governor of SC and state rep for SC, not NC. This doesn't change the fact however that NC is a backwards shithole, however.
The real problem is that we perpetuate customs, practices, and beliefs without examining them, without evaluating their continued benefit or worth. Even if some do figure out that the practices are no longer adding any value, they have such momentum, its impossible to stop them. DST is but one of many of those things that can be eliminated.
I don't know if this has been thought of or mentioned before, but how hard would it have been to design a solar panel cleaning mechanism like car windshield wipers? Seems like it would be possible to scrape the dust and debris off of the panels with a mechanical bar that occasionally passes over the panels.

We should just install these Kodak Disc camera batteries into people's chests, with or without the pacemaker, as a near-line substitute for the future 12 year battery tech that is supposed to be "better".
If humanity can come up with reliable and long term battery storage technology, that will go a long way towards replacing our dependence on fossil fuels.
What about the Xeon socket 604 and the Itanium socket mPGA700? I'll tell ya whats confusing about using the same socket, is buying a mobo, and thinking a prescott cpu will work in it. The pin counts are the same, like with 478, but it won't work because of the voltages. Diff sockets at least are good in that regard, you can't plug the wrong or incompatible cpu into it.
Isn't it fairly easy enough then to buy a mobo and shop for a cpu with the correct pins, instead of trying to figure out if its got the right microcode or voltage?
Is the pixel count defined by the screen resolution? What if you changed the resolution down, would you still have a complaint? If you buy a banana, and pay per pound, only to discover that only the inside is edible, will you also have a problem with that too?
There's something wrong with your math, a T1 is 1.544Mbps, or 24 X 64Kbps channels. E1 is 2Mbps. Only if you bond them together can you get anywhere near 4Mbps.
Your point is taken, however, that it would be absurd to attempt the transmission of 1TB of data through anything so small.
I live in Germany, and was suffering from the cold weather, because I was used to living in Texas where its uber hot. So I bought one of these jackets. The heat panels are only in the front, the back is not heated. I wear the coat for short trips and when i go walking and its cold. You find yourself not caring how cold it is outside.
The batteries seem to last a long time, the jacket really does get warm. Sometimes you have to have extra heat, where body heat/insulation type jackets just don't cut it. The jacket is very wearable, 'cept for a bit of a tit fight around the armpit area.

Then, apple swatted a customer for buying it
Because in Afghanistan, where there is no internet, they do not have terrorism.

The solution is to eliminate all members and the supporting population.
They only made one unit.

Are they going to open it up as a cloud service so we can get our lost emails and data when our hard drives crashed?
In GoDaddy's word there are no elephants and we all live in a police state

Yes, standby draws power, the problem is that a lot of people will just leave their stuff on and there will be no power savings mode at all.
