I would wager there are plenty of people in this country that would end up just like Kathryn Johnston if a "no knock" were performed on their house. As a resident of a state with a castle law I have the right to assume an intrusion is meant to put my family's lives at jeopardy and am allowed lethal force to repel such an invasion. "No knocks" make me worry about my ability to justly protect my family.
It was probably just set up so that it was easy to do compared to other phones. When I worked for LG's Cell division there was a hidden password protected menu on some models for changing any of the firmware settings, finding the menu would have been next to impossible but the default password was something similar to 8 0's. While this sounds a bit more complex my guess would be they did something stupid with the flash updater like not put any protections on the firmware downloads.
From the website it appears to be a device that will
a) be presented so the child will fight it less
b) monitor the child's vitals (it implies this isn't standard practice for NO2 at the dentist)
when undergoing routine procedures that require anesthetics. The summary does seem like it is saying just pump them full of sedatives anytime you take them to the doctor.
Depends. They need a thin OS. There is no need to have notepad or even the browser on the stupid chip. That stuff should operate at a different permission level and from an actual drive even if it is slower. The OS should be doing kernel stuff only if we put it on hardware. A thin OS drops the size to where it would be reasonable to do formal proofs on the design.
An acquaintance of mine in high school had a distracted woman pull out in front of him when she had no room to do so. The resulting wreck killed her infant son. I haven't heard from him lately but I can certainly say even when logically there is nothing he could have done there was a deep, deep regret.
Accidents occur with firearms as well, just ask Dick Chaney. There are plenty of people who enjoy firearms for pleasure and plenty of others who carry them due to their profession (hint: not just the professions you would suspect). There is no need to steal the protections of the many for the failings of a few.
Of course the CEO of Craigslist may never have allowed the erotic services section in the first place if he thought he would be personally taken to court over it. His statement in one of the linked articles was that to truly prevent erotic advertisements in the way the AG wants is to not serve ads to the state of South Carolina. I wonder if he'd take the job if it meant he was on the hook personally for anything potentially illegal that is advertised on the website. Theoretically the court exists to determine if it was the corporation or the individual who was breaking the law or causing harm and to divy the punishment accordingly.
Screw everyone else, I want a car that burns as little gasoline as possible. Gasoline took a nasty jump here on May 1st and it seems likely to skyrocket over the summer. If it gets above $5/gal, I'm not sure I can afford to both drive to work and eat, and there isn't much alternative to get there other than drive. My car already gets 30mpg. We need something other than oil for our transportation needs and we need it yesterday.
If you distill any of the accepted processes down then you plan first, even in agile processes. To summarize the summary: If you plan first and clear your workspace of distractions you do better work...
You buy a new car, pay cash, and are on your way to get it registered. Someone has dropped a bunch of copies of the key to your new car around town and identified what car it goes to. How do the police know whose car it is when you and several others walk up to the car to get entry?
Yes, but if you dropped to say 20 channels of TV without having a-la-cart then you will have 19 channels of reality TV. And even with a-la-cart they will have to charge you more for the Universe channel to make it worthwhile to carry because you are in a small, small minority that actually wants to see educational programming.
"While Draeger's counsel claims that the 'The Alcotest [7110] is the single best microprocessor-driven evidential breath tester on the market', Draeger has already replaced the antiquated 7110 with a newer Windows® based version, the 9510."
The new improved version is Windows based...
Also it looks like their out of range error scheme was to set it to the closest legal value and report it if it was recurring and continuous. Assume for a moment you took a test right after the last good reading, you took 32 samples. It would only report an error if all 32 samples failed. Otherwise 31 of the 32 will report the maximum legal extreme closest to that reading. Couple that with the fact that the averages were taken incorrectly, this isn't just reasonable doubt it is worse than using a RNG to find if they are drunk.
Except it will take a lot of taxing to make up the money for all the infrastructure revamping that would need to be done. Gas would need to be 10-20 times more than what it is now and stay that way for 30 years before it would be cost effective to buy a house or rent an apartment close to work. I also could never live close enough to work to actually walk because of how the city has built up, and on top of that public transportation does not service the area I work.
"How often does that happen? really?"
Often enough that last time I reported an outage, my cable company went ahead and offered me a credit to my account without prompting. And yet still better than Comcast...
This guy sounds like a manager or IT worker who is having problems with his employees connecting to the work VPN. He isn't the one paying the bill(directly at least), so he doesn't even have the clout of a paying customer...
Yeah, so every time some idiot hits the telephone pole the next block down or an idiot builder augers through the neighborhood cable line or my cable company has a hardware problem I can't watch TV, I can't surf the internet, and I also can't play any game that I've paid for? I don't use Comcast any more for this and other reasons but they charged me for a full month of service despite my cable being out for over a week. Do I get a discount on my service if I can't access this software service for a week through no fault of my own? Probably not, especially if it is some other company's fault.
Also the moment I have to pay every time I open up a text document is the moment I stop using computers at home period and I'm a developer. There is no reason for every company in the world to nickle and dime me. I won't pay a monthly subscription to play a game I already paid $50 for and I won't pay a monthly subscription to do basic things with my computer. I also wouldn't pay for a single listening instance of a song.
Umbrella Corporation releases an apology saying its really, really sorry for unleashing the pandemic flu on the world. They do however guarantee they are taking the appropriate steps to ensure nothing like this will ever happen again.

My friends who work with UAVs can tell you getting the FAA to let you fly a fully government-funded UAV is no walk in the park either.
if you kill a cop.... I doubt your castle law will protect you.
This is what bothers me and other law-abiding citizens.

Or not after reading more carefully.

Haha silly french. I work far less than that on any given day. Now if only I could get away with not being in this pesky office.
Instead we put it in the hands of "always caring for the customer and their rights" Sony?

Hijacking the senses. I call writing as prior art if they ever try to patent the broad category...
So does the company offer a warranty for my flooring?

http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1897920,00.html?xid=rss-topstories I don't applaud it all that much. It most certainly is a money grab and isn't doing anything positive at all.
