A ballet dancer's movements are elegant; putting modern tech in modern devices is par-for-the-course.
It's how you apply the tech, and what you do with it. The ATRIX 4G had a fingerprint sensor, but it was definitely a less elegant implementation, having to swipe your finger down across a sensor on the back of the phone. Apple puts it right where you always touch to activate the phone anyway, and dooesn't even make you change your behavior -- just touch. It also allows touch from any orientation and tilt of your finger so you don't have to worry about getting the touch perfect.
Fingerprint scanning while allowing the user to not do anything special to scan the fingerprint. That's the elegance. That's what's going to get it used in large numbers as opposed to the ATRIX, where it ended up being a rarely used gimmick.
We'll have to wait to find out exactly what they're referring to, but if implemented well this should be resistant to fingerprint lifting. Only the outer layers of your finger's skin touch objects. You'd have to have somebody else touch a sensor like this one and then try to recreate the capacitive map.
The 5C is just the previous generation repackaged. Where in Jobs' days the 5S would be the premium phone and the 5 would be the cheaper one, now it's the 5C that's cheaper.
LIke the "civilized" European country where I got my license? Nope. You are expected to keep general awareness, but you are not expected to know where every car around you is plus those coming up from all directions.
But I always do keep an "escape" lane cleared. It's saved me once.
I would love to see how this handles someone in the next lane suddenly moving into the car's lane, sideswiping it. It could look at the other side's lane or oncoming traffic too. For example, no oncoming traffic means safe to swerve into oncoming lane to avoid the sideswipe. Oncoming traffic or quickly upcoming traffic from behind, and it could just decide to accept the sideswipe as the least-harmful choice. It would be difficult for a human to take all this into account in under a second when just in regular driving mode (not racing, where they tend to keep 360 awareness).
so she could be innocent UNTIL she refuses to testify
Then she is guilty of a crime (contempt) where she was not forced to testify against herself. Again, the Fifth does not apply. It is only about self-incrimination.
We all have a duty to aid the justice system when called upon to do so. Refusal can have consequences, such as when one skips jury duty or refuses to testify when compelled.
If she can be sent to jail, she's not an innocent third-party witness, and would be able to refuse to testify.
The Fifth is only to prevent forced self-incrimination. If the prosecution waives any ability to prosecute, then the Fifth simply has no application in that case anymore. The Fifth is not about the overall power of the government to compel you to talk, so anything along those lines is out of scope.
He's essentially borrowing the same pressure tactics the NRA has been using for decades, but attempting to employ them from the other side of the issue.
Except instead of being a multimillion member organization with massive grassroots support, he has a top-down, billionaire-driven anti-rights campaign. Former member mayors have even come out to say that they were duped into membership, and MAIG tried to bribe them to stay when they were resigning.
Many jurisdictions have a duty to flee. If someone is threatening you, if it is possible to flee, then you must. Stand your ground says you do not have to flee from the criminal. He threatens your life, you can take his. However, the purpose of SYG isn't to encourage shooting. It is to stop prosecutors from saying "From my comfy desk here with armed guards between me and the bad guys, I think you could have run instead of shooting that armed robber last night, so I'm going to prosecute you for murder."
Zimmerman didn't invoke stand your ground because he had no option to flee at the time he decided to use deadly force. He was on the ground getting his head pounded into the concrete. That makes the shooting pure self defense.
At least they have the focus tighter. They used to call for these goodies for the general troops, but ordering it only for SOF sounds much closer to the mechanized infantry of ST.
What they did instead it target specific elections and just pour resources into them, including emotion-laden propaganda (emotions are far harder to counter than reason),
That sounds what the billionaire-funded, NYC-based MAIG is doing for the Colorado recall elections right now. The recall effort itself is organized and mostly funded within the state, but most of the defense of these politicians is coming from out of state.
In fact, the Democrat strategy guide for pushing gun control specifically states to use emotions to push the agenda.
#1: ALWAYS FOCUS ON EMOTIONAL AND VALUE-DRIVEN ARGUMENTS ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE, NOT THE POLITICAL FOOD FIGHT IN WASHINGTON OR WONKY STATISTICS.
Their biggest tool is high-profile shootings. Here are their policies on how to handle those:
There can be a tendency to adopt a quiet âoewait and seeâ attitude when a high-profile gun violence incident happens. The truth is, the most powerful time to communicate is when concern and emotions are running at their peak.
Does this mean they plan to use emotions over facts of the case? What about the facts?
So, the smartest thing to do is avoid linking our message and arguments to any one set of partially-revealed facts. We shouldnâ(TM)t assume the facts. But, we also shouldnâ(TM)t argue ourselves into inaction while we await clarity about details. The clearest course is to advance our core message about preventing gun violence independent of facts that may shift on us over time.
Walk on the bodies of the dead to advance the cause, but don't let the facts of the case get in your way. No wonder they listed the Boston bomber as a victim of gun violence.
"Well-regulated" in this time and context ment trained and capable, not under the control of an authority under regulations.
"Security of a free state" means security of a free country of the people. That's as in free as opposed to oppressed by their government.
The militia is of the people, as opposed to one formed by the government as a standing army. Remember, these are people who considered a standing army to be the "bane of liberty," so it is not likely they wanted to put so much power there.
"A standing army is one of the greatest mischief that can possibly happen" James Madison. He envisioned that half a million people rising up with their own arms to fight could not be conquered by any army. Half a million doesn't seem like much now, but he said that when the country only had a population of about four million.
As far as lobbying and lawsuits go, NRA is a single-issue version of the ACLU, necessary because he ACLU has chosen to not recognize that one amendment.
Not that the NRA does great on that. They're a little too willing to accede to the rights-violators' demands. The GOA is better in this.
You have been listening to the lying anti-gun crowd instead of the facts that rights supporters could have given you.
The law specifically exempts actual product defects from immunity.
What it does do is protect the industry from nuisance suits by people who say the illegal use of their product is the responsibility of the manufacturer. Imagine if Chevy were sued for every drunk driving injury involving a Chevy. That's what the law stopped.
Even if the NRA prop up an industry by manipulating US politics
You mean influences US politics on behalf of its millions of members, and millions more like-minded non-members. Kind of like the ACLU.
What you said is like saying the EFF only does what it does in order to prop up Internet services companies because they profit from a free and open Internet.
There's really no point to the article. It's not much more than a rehash of what's already known about the OS. And even then the really good stuff is left as an afterthought mention. Timer coalescing, memory compression and app napping will do a lot for battery life in an age where that's becoming very important, while maintaining performance.
If the company is cleaning it up, you have oversight by the government, the government can force the revelation of inconvenient facts, the government can force them to not take unnecessary risks.
But who oversees the government if they're doing it?

NK started their nuke program in the 80s, extracting plutonium through the 80s and 90s, resulting in their first successful test in 2006.

Bankruptcy isn't an option without far-reaching consequences. Many legal processes require the use of the USPS, and it would all have to be changed.

It lets you laugh after having read those previous serious books.

Thanks for the correction. Time to read the book again, it's obviously been too long.

Now if we could only get those drop pods.

The alternative to private is government, which aren't exactly known for allowing the people to know the screwed up stuff they're doing.
