Find a lawyer. Get a suggestion from that lawyer. Reach an agreement with that lawyer to represent you should you be arrested during such a stop. (This will probably involve putting money into an escrow account equal to the charge of a few hours of his time - also called a "retainer".)
Research your local laws regarding police stops. (Also called "Terry stops".) In some states, you are under ZERO obligation to do anything unless they are explicitly detaining you, and in those locations, the simple first response is "Am I being detained or am I free to go?" If they say you are being detained, the second response would be "On suspicion of the violation of what law am I being detained?" The third response is "I will not consent to any searches, and will not answer any questions until I have an attorney present." Then you call the lawyer mentioned above. You go to booking, you get searched anyway, you answer *NO* questions that are asked.
Take direct legal advice given by random strangers on the internet with a grain of salt.
If I park somewhere that has a reasonable chance of a smash-and-grab, I take valuables with me.
Period.
Who cares if it's locked down to something, if it looks like there is something valuable in the car, it's going to get broken in to. And if they can't take the thing they really want, they'll likely do extra damage, just because.
Other than that, I try to avoid leaving my car in locations that I worry about its safety.
Well, it will be good for a friend of mine, either way. He's working on Dragon, CST-100, AND MPCV/Orion!
Personally, I liked the bad punctuation combined with unintentionally funny line break in one article about this. It was discussing the two primary people involved, and introduced them as:
...Paul Allen, owner of Vulcan Inc and Burt Rutan, founder of Scaled Composites...
The placement of the line break was *VERY* bad. As in, "I didn't know Allen owned Rutan!"
You can use an iPhone without ever creating an iCloud account. Manual-entry-only contacts, calendars, etc, are fully possible. Or, sync with your PC via iTunes over USB, no network connection required to anything. The *ONLY* thing you would have to deal with Apple about is putting your info on file along with a billing source to download apps.
Or you could go for a just-retired Nokia Symbian S60 phone. I used S60 phones before moving to iOS, and they were great for the time. I understand they kept up reasonably well until very recently.
I enjoy the old classic Mac OS method: One icon covers the entire app.
Mac OS X apps that use the drag-and-drop method do this well, as well. I don't mind settings/preferences in a settings/preferences folder, but they should be obvious, and easy to clean. (Again, like OS X's ~/Library/Application Support, when applications use it properly.)
So if I want to get rid of Firefox, I should be able to go to/Applications and delete the single "Firefox" icon, then go to ~/Library/Application Support, and delete the "Firefox" directory. Then there should be *NO* way to know that Firefox was ever installed.
Their evidence is that if they change a setting from default, then "uninstall" IE, then "reinstall" IE, it keeps the changed setting, it doesn't revert to default.
That is their sole piece of evidence they claim in the article.
That is the best "evidence" they could come up with? I have LOTS of apps that save their settings through an uninstall/reinstall! And those apps are definitely uninstalled.
Does Microsoft actually "uninstall" IE9, 8, or 7, when you disable it? No. They haven't done that since IE 4 on Windows 98!
What can I say, we breed good Senators in Oregon. We had the very cross-party-lines Republicans in Hatfield and Packwood, now we have the cross-party-lines Democrat in Wyden. (Smith crossed lines occasionally, but also voted against Oregon's voter-mandated interests at times - Merkley hasn't been in long enough for me to figure him out yet.)
She had the stroke a month and a half ago. The next scheduled flight is one week away. Maybe this would have been newsworthy on September 10th, but at this point, if she's functional, she can last another week.
Honestly, how bad would she (and her family back home) feel if they send a "rescue flight" tomorrow, and it crashes on attempted landing, killing the crew? Or how bad would her family feel if it landed successfully, managed to take off again, but then the engines die halfway to the coast due to jelled fuel, killing the crew AND her?
I have emails auto-filtered into an array of many-nested subfolders. I can see at a glance what 'category' new emails are in. Oh, to this distribution list? Ignore for now. This kind of notification? Read right away. Sent directly to inbox? Either useless or very important.
The benefit is that when I get 100 new emails during the course of a meeting, I don't have to even visually scan 100 messages. I can visually scan 20 subfolders to see which have the new messages, then concentrate on order of importance.
When searching, though, I search all. (Although I will usually click on the folder I *THINK* it should be in first, search there, then if I don't get what I want, click the "search all folders" link. Searching a single folder can be much faster, if I picked the right folder. And I pick the right one maybe 80% of the time.)
Found out years ago that the big bulky early 10K RPM SCSI drives have such a tough casing that 9mm barely dents it, and.45 barely puts a hole in the top case. 7.62x54R? Shatters the platters, baby.
I bet they're comparing contractor total cost to government employee salary.
Oh, look, there it is:
To make its cost comparisons, POGO used the General Services Administration's listed contractor billing rates alongside data from the Office of Personnel Management and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The researchers point out that its government salary data does not incorporate overhead costs—management and administration, supplies, facilities—that private outsourcing firms may factor into their billing rates.
As in, the only reason he's famous is because he was caught, not because he was actually "good". Many other "better" hackers (used in the proper meaning) have their first name unknown. (Okay, in the case of GeoHot, it's known, but it's GeoHot that is more commonly know.)
Wow, some/. writer has a bit of a man-crush on Mr. Mitnick...
Even if you mean just "most famous first name in the computer security field", I would argue that the only reason his first name is famous is because people know what it is. There are many more (current) computer security hacktivists whose online pseudonyms are well known: GeoHot, comex, etc.
I work at a computer security company, yet if I were to say "Kevin" to someone, Mr. Mitnick would *NOT* instantly spring to mind.
And as timothy does not specify "computer security", only "most famous first name", we have to include *MANY* more people. Madonna, Cher, Pele, even Adolf. (Yup, it was bound to happen - I just invoked Godwin - although Godwin is a last name...)
Companies can request that the FCC not publish their requests until after a certain date. Apple does this all the time, usually to have the information unpublished until the day AFTER release. So FCC posts alone aren't enough.
But, yeah, plenty of websites out there that track these things.
Apple makes a majority of their income on iOS devices. They're making income on the combination of hardware and software. Pure "software" sales are a *VERY* small percentage of their income.
The only problem is, Thunderbolt is only 4x PCIe 2.0, so you won't be using this to connect modern, desktop-class GPUs to your laptop
Why not? That's still as fast as many first-generation PCIe boards were when you used two video cards. (They had two physical PCIe 1.0 16x slots, that would switch to two PCIe 1.0 8x slots electrically when you filled them both. PCIe 2.0 is twice as fast, so a PCIe 2.0 4x connection is as fast as the PCIe 1.0 8x slot.
Plus many gaming benchmarks have shown that even using a 4x slot instead of a 16x slot doesn't slow down significantly.
And this is why you consult a lawyer. I've seen manymanymany employment contracts that do the opposite. "We own everything you do during the period of time you are employed here, EXCEPT the few things that you list on this page."
I made a point during the hiring at my present job to list not just things I had done in the past, and things I was currently working on, but also things I *PLANNED* to do in the future. All I had to do was give not-yet-started projects names, and they were protected.
But other than that, my employer owns everything. That's not at all a nonstandard contract.

Ron Wyden is known for defending consumer freedoms. If he's one of the people involved, it's not bait-and-switch.
If they lower their prices to match/beat the generics, then I'd say the system is working. Now if only those patents expired faster.....

While that's an idea for the future, that won't help right now - seeing as I doubt any of that just happens to be handy...

Plus it's very satisfying to do...
Is that SALARY or TOTAL COST?
I bet they're comparing contractor total cost to government employee salary.
Oh, look, there it is:
There is a difference.
Yup. Even if one minute is SOLELY the "loop the loop" part, not the big fall or the climb, it wouldn't be enough to kill you.
According to NASA, testers survived 17 Gs for "several minutes" without serious long-term harm. One minute at 10 Gs isn't going to do it.
