sure, you're right - and imo the article shouldn't be posted on/. (stuff that matters, my ass)
the thing on pcmag looks like a ripped-off press release - I never heard of WDS but I'm quite sure one can buy the complete study for whatever absurd piles of dollars. In a way this is nice metatrolling: the author auf the pcmag-piece *knows* that such an incomplete information base will lead to huge amounts of flaming - and he won, even slashdot is part of the crowd:)
compared to USB the RJ45 connector isn't sooo bad.
according to the USB 3 specs the standard connector has to survive at least 1500 cycles, this presentation shows no problems with RJ45/PoE for at least 800 connection cycles (no idea if min. cycles are part of any RJ spec).
yes, I read the later comments about "reviews per sold copy" may be a solution for the strange sentence. Maybe my wording was too harsh but I stick to my opinion: The meaning of the statement is not understandable without a high level of interpretation
lolwhut? What the hell is wrong with writing Essex? Let's meet in Fucking to drink one [or more] pints of Fucking Hell - maybe afterwards you're more relaxed about funny geographical names
according to the BBC Scotland Yard didn't comment on any LulzSec connection but that the arrest was "pre-planned [and] intelligence-led".
imo a Lulz-triggered raid is possible but unlikely related to the DDOS of the SOCA homepage - somehow I don't think that a multi-agency-operation can be executed within 1 day
it is enforcable - the German copyright law has even a "Linux-Klausel" (Linux clause). One of the reforms of the law included a passage that explicitly allows copyright owners to permit free usage rights to evereyone (UrhG $32 (3); last sentence)); before this it was disputed that free of cost licences are possible under German law.
afaik the first real test for the GPL in Germany was in 2004 - a court in Munich recognized the license as compatible with the copyright law.

the author explains his study a little bit in TFAcomments.
the focus of the study was something like "how many support calls will end in an (expansive) hardware replacement".
if I read the press releases of the R&D program correctly the thing seems to be different.
In contrast to previous research vehicles such as “Junior” and “Stanley”, TAP is based on a relatively production-like sensor platform [..]
The use of fully automatic, driverless vehicles such as ‘Stanley’ and ‘Junior’ [..] is undoubtedly a long way off.
strange site, with too many ads...
a more useful link seems to be this one, the VW Temporary Auto Pilot is part of a quite big European R&D project.

So we've only been waiting for this for over a decade
Douglas Adams would agree, I can't believe that no one linked to Dongly Things
PS is it Autistic (Kids and Senior Citizens), or (Autistic Kids) and Senior Citizens?
probably "autistics, kids and seniors, citizens". only two missing "s" and a strangely placed "and" but I'll blame the writer of TFS

morning? it's 5 pm before a public holiday - this is only a little bit of friday afternoon trolling
funny - and it wasn't a copy&paste error of TFS but is a direct quote from the developer's blog.
and to blame the coder more: it seems he believe what he wrote; at the moment his game is rated in the Android market 1400 times...

uh, rotating cylinders generating lift? similar described in this 1925 paper? or a concept drawing in a 1950 Mechanix Illustrated?
nice engineering (if it works/flies) but nothing exceptionally new...
Reportedly a little less than half an American football field.

Apple doesn't look at an app and think, "oh no, this gives the user freedom to do something, this must stop!"
replace "Apple" with "Gnome Project" and your sentence is true :)
it's a necessary evil
I strongly beg to differ
the funny thing is that this guy was arrested but the Lower Merion spokesman could react with a complete waste of the taxpayer's dollars after the district was sued...
according to Rufus Pollock "around fifteen years", the footnote on page 3 points to Boldrin and Levine (2006) for the optimal length of 7 years.
If the work becomes copyrighted again, who owns the derived works?
uh, The Walt Disney Company?
ha, this question was a simple one :)
