No, because tracking two cars on a univerity campus is a completely different scale of problem than tracking hundreds of vehicles among 10's of thousands across a whole city. Two raspberry pi's equipped with SDR dongles are not going to be effective - you will have more luck, and get access to far more data more reliably by hacking the infrastructure than trying this type of theoretical hack with homemade devices.
Radio stations can generally be changed from buttons on the steering wheel. With a modern climate control system, why would you need to adjust anything (except maybe toggling the defog setting) while you are driving. This isn't some 70's style slider controlling radiator water flow into the heating system and a manual fan speed control. You set a target temperature, and the climate control automatically adjusts the heating/cooling and fan speed to get the car interior to that temperature.
What makes things confusing is that Chrome also has a different notification API available to extensions and chrome apps. But I'm pretty sure those can't be configured because permission for those features are granted at install time for the extension/app in question.
That would explain why pushbullet is not in the list of permitted sites, but I get notifications from it then.
And note too, how reluctant Russia is to bomb the real assholes in today's Syria — the ISIS. So reluctant, one may be forgiven for suspecting, Russia had a hand in ISIS springing into existence in the first place...
Their strategy in not targeting ISIS is to create a situation where there are only two parties left in the war, and the West and Syria's neighbours who are currently supporting various rebel groups will have to choose between supporting Assad or ISIS, or staying out of it and leaving Russia to annex the country. Russia don't want ISIS any more than anyone else, they are playing a strategic game.
Exactly - either side's action could be reasonable if the other side's action came first. It depends entirely on the order of events, which we don't know enough about.
Shares given directly as remuneration are taxed as income, but these are likely shares vesting under option schemes, which are taxed as capital gains if you follow the rules set down by HMRC. I wasn't aware that the capital gains rate had been raised again, a few years ago it was a flat 18%, and when I last had options it was 10%. Quite likely noone is getting the average, and you have a mixture of people coming in under the exemption limit and paying no tax, and one or two guys at the top who qualify for the special Entrepreneur rate of 10%.
50MPH is a traffic jam? My commute is over urban roads with 30-40mph speed limits and an urban highway with a limit of 50mph. So 30-50mph is with no traffic. I can pretty much match that for the first 90% of the distance (50% by time). My average speed over the full commute with normal rush hour traffic is 15mph.
Except half of the employees' renumeration was in employee share schemes, which if you follow certain rules are not taxed as income, but as captial gains - a much lower rate than either corporate tax or income tax.
The summary says, paraphrasing, that he made them in 1989 for X11R4 despite the anti-web organization ANSI trying to block it. I never heard of that browser though, so I don't know if we can trust the summary.
It is perfectly possible to branch in SVN and manage it.
SVN doesn't have branches. It has copies, and as of some quite recent version some kludges to track merges across those copies. There is a convention to create a top level directory in your repository called "branches" where you put all such copies, but merely calling them branches doesn't make them so. This is something that even CVS does better than SVN, as it supports true branches (that maintain history beyond the branch point), though its support for tracking merges is similarly non-existent as earlier versions of SVN.
git add [modified files/dirs] (might not be necessary, probably mixing up git and hg)
No you're not mixing them up, but git commit supports the -a option to combine the two steps if you want all the modified files included in the checkin. If you're using TortoiseGit, this is all transparent, the checkin dialog has tickboxes for the files you want to include, and all modified files are checked by default.
I never thought I would see a recommendation for CVS in 2015. The OP is on the right track looking at git and mercurial to start with. The only probem with his requirements are the Windows server. Maybe a virtual machine running on the Windows server would be acceptable to IT? While it is possible to run a git or mercurial server on Windows, there are a lot of good tools that would give the "things that would be great" that are not supported on Windows. On the client side, TortoiseGit and TortoiseHg are available, giving the same Explorer integration as TortoiseSVN/TortoiseCVS.
4100 is a strange number for a company like Twitter. If it was 4160, I could understand, as then each employee would be in charge of one letter of the alphabet in each position of a Twitter message. But how do you divide the work with 4100 people on board?
When Newegg sells you a "Core i7", it could be one of any number of parts from Intel under that family. At the consumer level, you purchase one off parts like this, because effectively you don't care whether it is 32nm, 22nm or 14nm, or which of Intels many wafer fab plants or packaging plants it has come from. For a bulk purchaser like Dell, they are ordering a part number which guarantees a consistent spec (all 22nm for example). If they think there is enough difference between plants, they can order under a different part number that is for one fab and packaging plant combination only, and probably Intel will charge them a bit more for that, as it complicates their logistics when they cannot fulfil the orders from whichever plant has spare capacity.
In this case, not only do the two processors in question have different part numbers, but the phones containing them do too. Just because the store down the road is selling you an "iPhone 6S", does not mean that a bulk purchaser could not order the model "N71mAP" to ensure a consistent build configuration.
Sample size 1 of each. Configuration - one (8 hours) with SIM inserted and strong cellular network signal, the other (6 hours) with no SIM. No, I would hope that Apple uses statistically valid comparisons to evaluate their phones.

By today's standards it would only count if they are driving around in armored troop carriers.

Maybe you are looking at things from the wrong perspective.
Perhaps you would find a study of how political funding works in this country enlightening.
You sound surprised, as if you could not see that coming.
There are a lot of Anonymous FUDsters posting from Redwood today.

Note some other terms in that statement that are generally ignored: well regulated and the people (not every individual person)

Or, as in the case of the GP, you pay through loss of business for making your customers do QA.

Charge hourly, not monthly. That way you deal with the source of the rage - people hogging the charging spots when they don't need to charge.

Or Google whether ANSI was really in charge of issuing Web color standards in 1989.
