If Homeland Security, et.al., can eavesdrop on any phone call in the U.S. at will, they can certainly track illegal Robocallers. Do they just refuse to do anything that could be considered productive?
Not just political parties. Many major tech companies have a large presence on Reddit and other forums to quickly "influence" potential adverse or advantageous posts. When there are millions of viewers, it's worth a lot of money to sway opinions.
It's because all the helium is flying away from the earth, raising the average density of the earth more than enough to make up for the loss in the helium's mass, thereby increasing the weight of a mess of masses.
I had a college professor (an excellent teacher, incidentally) who said in the 1970's that "Personal computers are just a flash in the pan" and that the general population would never be able to manage a real computer.
Trade shows have been in decline due to the internet (and, to some extent, cheap overnight delivery) since the late '90s. It's surprising to me that CES has remained so popular 10 years after the demise of Comdex. Who needs a trade show when you can get all complete information online and sample products overnight?
Too late, we're already on the metric system. The Metric Conversion Act of 1975 and designated the metric system as the "preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce."
It's just what we need -- another "fair and balanced" network.
Take an article from Al Jazeera that potentially makes the U.S. or a Muslim country look bad. Go to the Arabic version of Al Jazeera and translate the same article to English. You will then have two dissimilar articles from two not-so-compatible viewpoints.
My cell phone makes interference on my airplane's radio, just like it does on my laptop speakers. It doesn't make the plane fall out of the sky, but it can cause some problems and make it less safe to fly.
"The agency has no proof that electronic devices can harm a plane's avionics." I'd settle for evidence!
Those "outdated" FAA regulations that have been in force for more than 50 years require that any electronic devices used on a plane have been "determined not to interfere" with avionics. (FAR 91.21 and 121.306). I'm not sure whether "determining" is proof, but at least you don't have to prove an electronic device will crash a plane before you prohibit it.
For me, Word 97 is much faster to use than any subsequent versions. I don't need or want something that mangles text I paste into my document, even if it did come from a web site. (I'll spare any unsuspecting readers of this post 981 more examples of management-user detachment.) Recently I was forced, kicking and shouting, to install Word 2003 when 97 kept crashing on Windows 7. I am quite depressed about that. There are better than even odds I'll go back to XyWrite, or possibly I'll get out of the stone age and use NotePad++. (I like Google Docs, but I sometimes I like to compute without an internet connection.)

They already have. But law enforcement refuses to enforce it, citing "lack of resources", i.e., "we want more money."

That is EXACTLY what I was going to say. If they're not dumbing down TV and movies, then it's Windows and Desktop Apps.
He's encrypting it to make it legal for his company to accept unauthorized music and movies. If you want security, encrypt before you upload.
Why is this on /. instead of /r/politics?
For some reason, that reminds me of the book Zero Game .
I want RPGs and heat-seeking missiles.

There are over 150,000 species of flies alone, yet we still need more? The taxonomists are running amok!

Use a perfect crystal (or almost perfect), measure it's size, and multiply to get the atom count. It's a little more complex than this, but it works.

Seems reasonable, until you try to figure out where the 1%'s came from.

Doesn't everybody use substances?
He might not be nuts. He might be laughing his head off at all the people he suckered into believing this story.
Or he could be a nut job.
I agree with Chu. And with that view, I don't think I'll be running for office.

This is not new, unique, or nontrivial. Unfortunately, that seems to be the rule rather than the exception for the USPTO.
