There are people who get those magnets implanted in their fingers that can do that. They can move their finger within a few inches of a wire or device and see if it's live. I wonder if they get a break on insurance for that reason.
Or take the Darwin approach; selection of ten wires, nine are hot and you're grounded. If you're electrosensitive it should be no issue to figure out which one's cold and not electrocute yourself.
If he actually did feel any symptoms they would probably just psychosomatic.
TBH I would not be surprised if there was some feud between them and he just went full retard. Someone who sues because of WiFi probably is not entirely there to begin with.
Wasn't there also some public school district that was suffering legal trouble from the same claims?
I think the issue is they presented it as one thing initially to garner support and monetary donations then now that they have that are changing it to be more beneficial to them directly.
I read a while back about one where half way through some girl found her project was too hard and started writing gibberish about the Sun telling her psychically to stop work, etc... people got pissed and wanted refunds since she obviously was not doing her part.
I don't think they interview everyone, mostly just keep an eye on the crowd and make "small talk", see how they react.
If a guy is acting twitchy and nervous, and you ask him how the weather is or if he's there on business of pleasure and he can't give you a straight answer, or look you in the face when speaking then there is a good chance something's up.
Constitution makes no reference for that kind of thing. They aren't denying people the right to fly, only pulling them out of line in the event that they seems suspicious. Some religious groups are more prone to violence then others.
Personally I don't see the big deal with profiling, private businesses do it every day and no one says a word; but when a police officer stops a black person whose dressed like a thug and carrying a TV, in a gated community where he knows all the residents and this guy is not one of them; then it's a horrible act.
The officer is doing his job by noticing suspicious activity and investigating.
Reminds me of the switch over from Analogue to Digital TV transmission.
Of course most home users are already setup either directly or via their ISP. It'll be businesses with these $50,000 network equipment that wont want to move over due to the cost of buying new HW when they just got through paying off the old stuff.
The manufacturer does not want to since the client company has already paid for the hardware ten years ago, so they'd have to pay Devs to update the firmware and not see any new sales. But if they wait then those companies will have to foot the bill by buying the new model they are currently advertising.
You got companies who still use IE6 and XP, because they paid to have some proprietary app developed for that specific version, and don't want to have it redone to a modern versions.
I'd have to agree, Apple is pretty good about making their products easy to use to the unfamiliar user. It's enough like Windows that some basic logic can be carried over, but when doing new things can be intuitive and figured out.
Yea I fail to see why this a negative against Sony... It's not like they will brick all the larger PS3s out there and force people to buy this new smaller one.
The last credible war we fought involving the Navy was WWII; Korea, Vietnam and now the Middle East don't have much in the way of fleets. Since then it's been more about show and transport. Sure we still go after the occasional pirate or smuggler but using a full on battleship against a guy in a speed boat seems a bit overkill; hell a nuke would probably be cheaper and just as effective.
The issue is the cameras are not perfect and here in my city you could not argue them in court.
So people were getting tickets for speeding or going through red lights even though it was allowed and it was the camera that was inaccurate. (Motion sensor would commonly go off when making a right hand turn which is 100% legal)
Someone put some super bright IR LEDs in a baseball cap. That way normal people wont see it but if hes in front of a camera the light will drown out the image around his face.
Annoying yes, but if that's what has to be done...
People need to exercise some responsibility in securing their PC. You can be ticketed for having a dangerous vehicle that does not conform to road safety standards.
Most spammers don't sit on a single range for a long time, it'd be easy as pie to block. Speaking with first hand experience they'll get some low end basic server/VPS, and multiple IPs across multiple ranges then spam as much as they can till they are caught by the DC or get the ranges blocked.
It's a big red flag when someone asks for a lot of IPs on a low end servers. Either they are a spammer or don't know what they are doing.
DC does not like it since you now have multiple ranges which are blocked by many ISPs and won't be usable by future clients, since there is often a good bit of red tape to get them unblocked and even then it's up to the ISPs discretion.

Yea, abuse like that does seem to plague stuff like this.
The idea of FOSS seems great, but the actual execution often times leaves something to be desired.
How does Kickstarter handle fraud?
I read a while back about one where half way through some girl found her project was too hard and started writing gibberish about the Sun telling her psychically to stop work, etc... people got pissed and wanted refunds since she obviously was not doing her part.
Will it?
I thought there were competing 3D printers for consumers out there, just that MakerBot was the most famous/popular?
Seems a lil odd they would mix them like that, India has about 1.2 Billion, so the others combines only have a meager 300 million combined.
What platform?
As I recall the PC had both auto-save and manual. But I think it'd reload you to the last checkpoint pylon thing you passed.

Yea, we could never replicate Israel.
Party because of the incompetence of the TSA screeners and also because of the PC decries.

Yea, some of those will have so many addresses that they could assign a static IP to each node and still have left overs.
But then again it'd probably just delay things further. We're going to have to bite the bullet eventually.
I'm curious about that too, I've heard some dumb reasons to try and justify a static IP use.
Someones going to have to foot the bill.

When was the last time we needed a battleship?

Why can it not be used?
If I am mugged in view of a speed camera and it catches the incident, why can they not admit it?
*This is of course assuming it's taking video.
Annoying yes, but if that's what has to be done...

I doubt it'd help much.
