About the only way to make sure that your money is out of "the system", and positively ensure that it can't be used to hire contractors, pay workers, do capital improvement or invest in some R&D, is to stuff it in your mattress. Literally.
What do you think banks do? What do you think the stock market is?
Easily prevented via some hardware and software. Don't use a separate telephone-style keypad for the PIN entry - display it on the touchscreen. Randomly scramble the digits in the keypad before each digit is entered and cover the screen with a privacy film so that it has a relatively small viewing angle.
Which is why they've run tests to carry actual weapons into checkpoints and see if they're found. Results have been unimpressive.
Less-official tests (i.e. accidental ones) have also had troubling results, but thankfully the people involved were merely forgetful, not dangerous terrorists.
My personal anecdote is of successfully carrying a full-size, new tube of toothpaste through security on both the outgoing and homeward-bound flight. They never found it. Just think how many teeth I could have brushed with that much toothpaste, if I'd actually wanted to...
I imagine they could make a pretty interesting class in Excel if they'd move beyond formatting cells and doing simple sums and averages. They could even get into macro programming, but even without there's a lot of stuff you can do with it.
Wrong. Totally and completely wrong. Rights are things that no-one can TAKE from you. They do NOT force anyone to GIVE things to you, or guarantee that they will.
My point was that perceived intent is what matters. Point a camera at someone and they'll react as if it's plugged in and recording. If that's illegal, expect to answer for it. And if your defense is "but it's not plugged in", expect them to stop acting like it is. And if the whole point was them acting like it's plugged in, you've just shot yourself in the foot, so to speak.
Pointing an unloaded gun at someone is still illegal, and furthermore, as soon as you say "it's okay, it's not loaded", it will no longer have the desired effect.
No, she promised you her oak chest on her 70th birthday. Signed in blood, sealed and agreed and all that. Then her 70th birthday was coming up and her doctor told her she has another 10 years to live, so she decided that she will give it to you on her 80th birthday, not her 70th.
That's only for Windows Metro - the mobile version of the OS. Phones, tablets, etc. And it's only for apps specifically designed to use the new, alternative API (meaning, apps can still use the old API that allows non-fullscreen windows that can overlap).
False analogy. You aren't paid for building a hotel and letting it fall down piece by piece. You're paid for maintaining and staffing the hotel and providing a service to the patrons. If you built the hotel and let it fall down, not only would you not make money but eventually the city would condemn the building and/or repossess the land - and yes, you'd have to either do a major renovation or build a new hotel if you want to continue to earn income.
That was done via SCNT (aka cloning). This was done by using a virus to inject the modified gene into an egg cell, and the success rate is around an order of magnitude higher than it is for SCNT, but it's the first time it's been successfully done with a carnivore.
Yes, I rtfa:
the only proven way of getting a new gene into a cat, somatic cell nuclear transfer, is tricky... The strategy works in only a fraction of cases. In cats it's been used to create glowing kittens with no other traits, just proof that it can be made to work.
Poeschla and his colleagues turned to a different method—using a virus to carry genes into an egg cell—that had worked in animals including mice and cows but never been successful in a carnivore.... The 23% success rate is much higher than the typical 3% seen with somatic cell nuclear transfer
The person in front of you will always decelerate to a stop. There are no discontinuities in the function of velocity. Momentary acceleration cannot be infinite.
An object needs to be more than just stationary to "instantly" stop a vehicle traveling at highway speeds. It needs to be either very immobile or very massive (or both). The energy has to go somewhere.
Very immobile and very massive objects also tend to be very visible.
No, not really. If you're a BCC'd recipient you wouldn't even be able to tell from the headers. All you'd see is a delivered-to header and obviously that has to be you since you received it. It's the RCPT TO field that determines who actually receives the e-mail, not the To, Cc, or Bcc headers (the Bcc header is stripped out anyway).
You're supposed to mark it "no longer at this address - return to sender", black out the barcode at the bottom with a marker, and put it in the outgoing mail.

That's a rather long-winded way of saying that I shouldn't care because I don't make more than $1 million per year.

Maybe a hundred bucks or so to do a 12 or 14 inch monitor. No big deal.
Hehe, no "big" deal indeed. Now try that with a 14 foot display (~167 inch, the upper end of this stuff's range).
Nobody really pays any taxes, they just give back some of the paper the government printed.
Um, his sig is ENTIRELY directed at the *IAA who claim that downloads = lost sales = theft. Judging from your reaction to it: WHOOSH.
You think that's bad? You should really read up on the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.
Okay, you're allowed to have a differing definition as long as we all agree that it's wrong.
That sounds like something inspired by a Dilbert cartoon.
...there, found it

I want to use the camera to record a video that I can distribute commercially in large amounts without needing a license.
Other cameras allow me to do this. It is ENTIRELY related to how the video is created.

Common misconception, but still wrong.
I somehow can't help feel like it's my natural right not to get groped
It may be; unfortunately, flying isn't.

The solution to unemployment is not having the government employ everyone to dig and fill ditches.

You ask, "which door would the other guard tell me is the one with the tiger behind it?"
That's the door you want to open to find the princess.
