Internet goes down... you would have mullions that first call their ISPs 1-800 number, but because the ISP outsourced their customer service, the 1-800 number isn't working because that company has no internet for VoIP, looking up case numbers, access to e-mail, access to critical customer databases, etc.
It would be a endless spiral downwards as more and more people realize it was shutdown by the government.
I think this right here sums it up. If teachers can't be bothered to update their material every year, cheating is going to be so easy that anyone with the right connections will take that option. Even that A student without cheating will because it saves him 10+ hours that can be used to study for a test in a different class.
Agree, he could also set up deals with distributors in other countries, and make sure that those companies get sole rights to sell it in that country (just not make it). They would then get bigger by promoting the fact that THEY and only THEY have the real deal, better product. Once big enough, they can use their financial might to get rid of the copy-cats through their own legal system.
You prefer Linux, but can't figure out where the fuck MS moved an icon to?
Practically everything they did in the 2007/2010 ribbon was to group like items together, and they did a good job. when you save an item, there is the print button, or the share button or the other god knows how many buttons.
The ONLY thing that sucked about the conversion was the new format, and the horrendous job they did with making it easy to open new _ _ _ X docs in old, pre 2007 office products (be it viewers or the actual office suites).

Why do they need to get the info from Twitter? Couldn't they just be tracking IP access at key edge routers and back trace that to the users ISP account?
If someone is posting on twitter that they like wikileaks, they are also most likely a user who is actively visiting the site... meaning there is definitely a IP trail from their ISP to one of the wikileaks mirrors.
IF they need to get twitter account user info, I would assume that means there is already a database of everyone accessing the site to begin with... Yay government!
There are less parts overall in a all electric vehicle than in current IC cars.
A motor breaks? you go to the shop and have them put a new one in.
Electric cars have the _potential_ to exactly mimic the old RC cars teenagers used to buy and mod. Whether Electric vehicles get that simple is a question for another day.
I want a device to jam your device because all those projections on the windows are going to be a bigger distraction than talking on the phone hands free.
Double points if the device can fake 1000 cars with drivers texting all completely circling you so you can't see out your windows.
Not really... You are driving on a snowy road... the car 1 mile ahead of you notices that it lost traction and begins to slow down and keep the car on the road (while alerting the driver). While it is doing this, it is also sending a signal to the car behind it, say.4 miles behind it, and lets it know that it may be spinning out, basically it is just feeding the cars around it specific alerts and statistics based on its probability of spinning out and how it is currently doing. Based on this information, the car that is directly behind it begins to slow down to anticipate this problem. Your car is getting information from BOTH of the cars, and is also slowing down in case something ahead continues to get worse.
Lets say the car spins out and hits a railguard, blocking 1.5 of 3 lanes. Its computer got trashed in the accident. The car directly behind it sees that the data feed suddenly stopped, and begins evasive braking within its current road condition limits. It knows the last known position of the car that crashed, and can anticipate when it is going to collide, so it has to stop by then. Computer now sees the car ahead, and notices that the other 1.5 lanes are free. as it is slowing down (remember the road was icy and why the car ahead slid out), it also begins to try and move over if the conditions allow it and avoid the car altogether... it is also dialing 911 for that driver BTW in case the cars 911 system is broken.
Back to your car, you have been getting this data feed from each car, and can now predict the best solution to avoid an accident while staying on the road. Your car switches lanes and has been slowing down ever since it heard about the accident from the other cars.
Problem solved, disaster averted, a human could do it too, especially if it was clear...
But lets add heavy snow to the equation... Now you can't see crap, and the car just saved you from hitting 1 possibly 2 cars ahead.
That data stream the cars are broadcasting, all it needs to be are real time GPS coordinates, speed, acceleration, spin info, traction info, stability info, hardware status info... etc etc etc. The computers in the other cars can take thousands if not hundreds of thousands of variables into consideration when it is avoiding problems. How many inputs from other cars can a human take into account?
I am pretty sure he is saying that those 5 people are doing jack shit all day, so someone that that actually performs their job duties well could easily replace 5 of those lazy jack asses.
Regarding Training, he is taking time out of his busy day (we are assuming he is a small business owner here) to train his new hire.... sounds like he "Hired" someone to train her doesn't it? If he has to spend 4 hours a day for 3 days training, that is 12 hours he cannot be billing clients for or not catching up on work.
Maybe he needs the secretary using PCB layout software to simply take the layout, and output it to a PDF / JPG to print it? Or maybe his clients send him some notes about renaming devices in the layout, so he has trained his secretary how to do this? I see our secretaries doing something like this in Excel ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Their boss will tell them that these numbers in XcelDco123 needs to be updated with this months numbers, and the secretary has to go find those new numbers and update the sheet. Doesn't sound like he is asking that much of his secretary.
Or just setup a google voice number that links up your lawyer's phone #, parents, friends, etc. dial number and whoever picks up first gets to help you:)
What everyone seems to forget is that it is pretty easy to get probable cause in this situation, Judge onsite or not.
Swerving, booze breath, etc... Hell Officers have flashlights that can detect the presence of alcohol fro your breath. They simply shine the light in your car and can also get a reading, anything over 0.00 would be probable cause. Body language is another thing they could use.
I am not condoning this at all, but C'mon probable cause in this situation is like picking a piece of hay from a haystack in 99% of the cases.
Also, having a _HONEST_ Judge riding shotgun with the police has the potential to bring about GOOD change... Suspect gets arrested by cop, judge can call him on the fact that he over did it with the physical violence. "Was there really a need to billy club that man? he was surrendering to you." (Hell you would think they would be teaching law to cops, I mean a knowledgeable cop means more successful convictions, and less actual criminals on the street)
Of course, in any other situation, this would be a very bad thing.
Wasn't this already done in a TV show or movie? They had setup cameras on the entire ship that was used to go to Mars, and were airing it as a Reality TV show with advertising spots, equipment / clothing etc with logos for more advertising, etc etc.
Anyone know the name? I don't think it made it past 2 episodes if it were a TV show.
Don't you bear some of the blame here? I mean it's not like your wife was unconscious when they took her to the second facility, she could have easily said no to taking her to a different building and saying I want it done in this building and only this building or I am going to sue.
I don't think you are to blame here BTW, just that it could have been stopped if you took a second to remember that insurance companies are evil and would have never approved the claim from the second facility.
Of course your doctor is to blame heavily here too, for allowing the MRI to be taken to another facility without consulting you and your insurance provider.
I am a bit confused, and to be honest don't feel like reading an article on Wired that is clearly 100 paragraphs too long.
Is the current common belief that Wired was the sole entity that had the chat logs and that they were served a warrant for the info at which point they coughed up the information? IE the source Wired got the info from ended up being a dead end for the US Gov't and they leaned on Wired and got what they needed?
This would mean that Wired basically gave up their source without a fight.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Sounds like your phone is using the cell tower for location instead of the GPS chip.
Civilian GPS should provide a worst case accuracy of ~8 meters at a 95% confidence level.
Businesses would come to a halt.

This makes sense in the medical sector.
Who wouldn't want a 3D holographic representation of their patient in real time to rotate, zoom and pan?
So you think HDDs spend more time reading a constant stream of data (driving at a specific speed) vs seeking out that data?
What happens to your results if the drive(r) is spending more time seeking (accelerating) than reading data (going a constant speed).
shopkeepers that were owned by the big corporations. That way the big guys come out of hiding for the missing money, and a Jackie Chan movie begins.
Really? A lot of lyrics look stupid when written down? I think you are listening to the wrong music then.
Example: (The Mars Volta - Octahedron - Teflon)
Just don't know the layman's terms
to call the mess you bleed
Crawls beneath the surface
sought blood through a family tree
The date's been changed
with each new phase
I'm anxious bouts of nervous
What am I without the bruises?
These switches won't come on
What do I do to lose it?
Beneath this distress call
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with a body inside
[x2]
Frames of infrared
keep scrolling into focus
Scarab claimed the busy signal
with the habits that you noticed
The date's been changed
with each new phase
I'm anxious bouts of nervous
What am I without the bruises?
These switches won't come on
What do I do to lose it?
Beneath this distress call
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with a body inside
[x2]
Take in all the hostages
into the Oval Office
Draw the curtains, part their hair
and pull the trigger softly
If they have become empty
then I'll just take you with me
One driver in your motorcade
is all it takes, is all it takes
Selling graves in teflon veins
is all it takes is all it takes
What am I without the bruises?
These switches won't come on
What do I do to lose it?
Beneath this distress call
Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn
Stack the tires to the neck with a body inside
[x2]
Those lyrics don't seem stupid, and are actually quite insightful.
You are forgetting the Profit!!..... step.
Site is up for me - Chrome no less

That his twitter account info was given to the government.
He could have gone after twitter, but they just have to follow the law...
He could have gone after the DOJ, but again, they just follow orders...
He went after someone from Congress, the people who make the laws... sounds about right.
Why do they need to get the info from Twitter? Couldn't they just be tracking IP access at key edge routers and back trace that to the users ISP account?
