I'll bet my life on a smart gun working as soon as law enforcement (and, for that matter, the Secret Service) is confident enough in them to use them too.
The US tax code is stupefyingly complex. There are often various ways to define or account for things that are perfectly within the bounds of the law. Choosing the way which results in the least tax paid isn't immoral - and, in cases like corporations where they have a fiduciary duty to their stockholders, it might be illegal *not* to.
Your idea of assigning taxes based on its impact on everyone else is interesting (not being patronzing, it is) but there's no basis for it in law. I'd figure, though, that Apple's impact footprint is lower than that of most companies.
Well, for most the dividends *are* taxed at almost 40%, also short-term stock gains. Longer term taxed at lower rate, but it's tax on non-inflation adjusted profit.
Gotta love the oblivious jackass in the left lane who, after the sixth car has passed him on the right as there's nobody in front of him, hits his brakes to annoy the guy behind him who's about to be number seven. Because everyone else is the problem, and not him.
... only it's not 'unlimited'. If you can pull down 10Mb/s, and you are under perfect conditions for a month, you still have a maximum. Sure, it's 26Tb - but still a limit
The US long form asks about mental/emotionial issues you may have, how much money you make and how, about your commute, how old your house is and what appliances you have
The amount of US wealth owned by the top 1% has fluctuated between 34% and 37% since the early 1960s. There's no runaway train of the richest amassing more and more (relatively) of the wealth.
... the head of one agency in the executive branch has said that it needs backdoors to be installed in devices (or the terrorists win). And now there's another agency (in the *same department*) whose "top priority" is the exact opposite?

That's an ignorant comparison. There were 26 lightning fatalities in the US last year.
I hope never to have to. Statistically, I probably won't. But if it's ever needed, that's exactly what I'd be doing.

They've been in a few accidents, just none was the fault of the Google car.

Fine!
Clunky title!
"Adobe has not built ‘backdoors’ for any government—foreign or domestic—into our products or services. "
Wrong. Adobe has built *lots* of backdoors - for government and others. Just not on purpose.

Ironically, many of the messages are *about* "elongation"
What if they deduped attachments and replaced the "original" with a link to a copy? Is that bad too?
Systemic
Few things are funnier than indignant stupidity.
Yeah, I saw that too. It was reported then, but a patched BIND wasn't available from opensuse until Monday 8/3.
... Not opensuse
Usually when you say "from the article" you make the word "article" all blue and linky.
"Private vendors will provide drivers with small digital devices to track miles"
There are already pretty strict laws for tampering with odometers. Why aren't they a sufficient measure?
Isn't anti-lock braking accomplished with a CPU between the brake pedal and the brakes?
Or at least let them fight it out.
... you can get root access.
