    He settled after being sued or before? If he settled upon receiving the letter, then no, he was not sued.

    Just because you generated the video, does not mean it is legal for you to put a copyrighted song on it. That is illegal, as it isn't even covered under the standard fair use defense. In the future, use creative commons music if you don't want to risk your video being blocked.

    My former boss took the iPad IT got for test/problem reproduction. It has all the Angry Birds levels beaten on it, but I don't know it has ever been used for work purposes...

    What would be your reply if instead they didn't do this, and he abused his daughter in this time? To social workers (in the US at least, can't speak for UK) it is better to separate the kids from their parents temporarily while the issue is investigated than for the child to be hurt because they didn't. I know I would be hurt by having my kids taken away (I'm a single male parent), but I would rather that happened than to hear about a child being hurt by their own parent and being screwed up for life. You have to balance the harm, and on the state's scales, preventing a bad situation that is possible is a better outcome.

    I have never heard of the steering issue, but the accelerator issue was deemed to be a user error by NASA engineers. If the floor mat is properly installed, you would have to break something to get it to entrap the accelerator.

    You should expect Battery approximately every 3 years, though I have heard of rare batteries lasting 5. The more expensive batteries do last longer, but you can only get them to last so long before they won't charge. Also pumps, and alternators; they wear out over time, and are expected to fail. The belts are expected to be changed at around 100k miles, but this varies depending on climate.

  18. Re:ask a mechanic on Have Bad Cars Gone Extinct? · · Score: 1

    Having just seen my mother's 2003 Camry get totaled (rear ended, not worth the money to fix according to insurance), with never having had a single "repair", I have to disagree. Toyota does make good cars still. The whole gas pedal recall Toyota got smacked with turned out to be user error, according to NASA engineers at least. I had one of the recalled Camrys and never had a single issue with it, still have it and it runs perfectly.

    Though I do have something to ask if anyone else has a Camry, to you get a clunk on the driver side front wheel when you hit a bump? I have had two Camrys in a row with that noise, and wondering if anyone ever tracked it down. I am thinking it is the battery mount, but haven't ever been able to find anything loose.

    What kind of network card do you use with a 100Gbit connection? My network card only goes up to 1 Gbit. The $20k Cisco routers here at work have 2 10Gbit ports, but those aren't generally used for internet access.

    More like putting a large generator in your back yard. I could fit one of these in the 10'x10' back yard on my town house, my HOA however would never allow it.

    You could fit one of these in the footprint of a small shed.

    Not to disagree with any other part of your post, as you are right on, but, does natural gas actually pollute? My understanding is that this is extremely safe fuel. I have an open flame natural gas burner attached to my central air system and have never heard of anything other than possible CO poisoning.

  24. Re:Distributed Grid - Walk Away Safe? on Small, Modular Nuclear Reactors — the Future of Energy? · · Score: 1

    Operation of those reactors is top secret, and they are way too small.

    The reactors this story are about are much smaller than the smallest Navy reactor. Think about the average shed in Home Depot, then consider it going underground 3 stories. That's it. It is passive safe, if there is a problem, it just shuts down as it is subcritical. There are no control rods, as none are needed. The only way for a leak to happen would be something puncturing 6" of steel, and with it being underground, not on the surface, that is not an issue.

    Please poke holes in this all you like, I would love to see your informed opinion now that your uninformed opinion has been pointed out invalid to you.
