The way I normally handle this problem - with antenna feedlines on rotors - is to loosely coil the big cable around the outside of the turning-parts. I understand that you might not want a big loop of cable in your lap while driving.
This design seems to use a stretchy-cable. This is similar to what I see in rally cars to transmit the paddle shift commands. The stretchy cable wouldn't need to go 3 turns - 1.5 will do in either direction.
This is a solvable problem, even if the links didn't carry a ready-to-go solution.
(Really? Cigarette lighter is an issue? Most of those are rated for 10 amps or more - 80 watts of heat ought to be no problem.)
You immediately lose credibility by using "pseudocode" in human conversation.
Actually, the opposite - the MBA types who say please would need to first perform a lookup of the name of the lesser person who deals with the non-core business that usually just costs money and doesn't work right.
If you're going to say that it doesn't count if it wasn't IBM PC compatible, then Apple doesn't count, either. Early Macs were clearly not PC compatible - never mind that the processors and file formats are different, the disks - even if they fit in the other computer - won't be readable due to incompatible low level formatting.
I'm pretty sure that even in Europe, it's not a crime until they (attempt to) bill you.
For some reason, I also think that European law doesn't apply to a transaction between a company in Florida and an individual in Seattle, WA. There may be exceptions to this, like if he had a credit card issued from a European bank, but that is an unusual situation for someone who isn't from Europe.
Fraud would be charging without notice, and without offering an opt-out.
This isn't fraud, it's just a bad marketing strategy. It's also unlikely to work, since a lot of people will likely call their credit card companies and say "I didn't agree to that - reverse the charges."
I know I was pissed off when I found that the only reason I couldn't run a network interface at gigabit (instead of 100M) was because of a license key from Cisco.
Beyond that, in the ATV & snowmobile world, this is a readily available bolt-on mod. I fully expect the parts are readily usable on most motorcycles, too.
Well that sounds like a terrible idea - submitting your username/password - even encryption keys (optional) - to a third party so you can get your one-click executable?
You mean the public keys that aren't used for anything else, would give you access to their computer when they use them, and don't override the requirement that you be on the receiving end to manually accept the connection?
You're right, that sounds like a terrible security hole.
I'll agree, most offerings are not directly comparable.
Some users want some features, others want different features.
I'm suggesting that for the free users, one of those alternatives will probably deliver almost everything they're looking for, and that LogMeIn isn't the only player in the field (although they may be the only one playing lacrosse when everyone else is playing soccer).
Last I'd heard, the expected sum of lawsuits, settlements, fines, etc. would be WELL over $100mil (as in several times that). Apparently, for reference, a similar breach, TJ Maxx, ended up being closer to $200mil.
While $200 million is a lot of money to a lot of people, it's less than 10% of Target's typical annual profit. Some financial summaries
So yes, it will sting a bit, but it's not going to put them under.

The AC I was replying to seemed to suggest that HP didn't count (barely counted), because their touch-PC wasn't "PC Compatible".
Lots of computer manufacturers' offerings from that time period weren't "PC compatible", yet they were still clearly computers.
The actual article said computers, not PC's. That's a much broader standard.

Vaio's have been around for a while now.
A company called "Hewlett-Packard" still exists, but they sell printers and PCs.
Don't forget ink. They make a lot of money selling ink.
This would be fraud, if they charged him.
What they've done so far is send an email.

Talk to your credit card vendor and ask them if they offer the service.

There's a lovely downward spiral; Network Solutions will make the provider's website not work.

I'm sure you'll agree, this is far less obnoxious than having to mail them an extra $100 a year to have the buttons on the key keep working.
i dont use my air conditioning in the winter either, and it needs less servicing as a result.
You probably do, actually. The windshield defroster usually engages the air conditioner to lower the humidity and minimize condensation (fogging).

I expect if you want to retrofit your car, you could find a product that does just that.

join.me, chrome remote desktop, screenleap, showmypc ...
This doesn't count the simple-to-set-up-yourself ones, like PC Helpware.
A "networking VPN"? As opposed to some other VPN
Sure beats a notworking VPN!
If it was so easy for someone else to offer an alternative service, there would be dozens of them
There are dozens of them. By no means a complete list:
GotoMeeting
Webex
Yuugu
TeamViewer
Mikogo
CrossLoop
If it was an interview for a marketing position, then "I'm a liar" should have been listed under "strengths", and "honesty" under "weaknesses".
Such a high price would have implied the size of the entire Bitcoin economy was worth 1.47e15 dollars.
For comparison, that would be about 140 times more dollars than there are.
Scroll down, look for the M2 number. (More recent data, with less explanation)

CDO.
It's quite similar, but with the letters in the correct order.
Out and around.
Small numbers, of course - but there does seem to be the occasional old privately owned terminal in a convenience store...
