Ahhh, but you've created a PUBLIC link, not a private one. Since you don't own the copyright, you don't get to make a public link. You can make as many private links as you like, and that's arguably fair use, and you're not limited. It's like claiming that publishing a torrent link doesn't mean anything because the person who might download it could own a license.
Dropbox is not useful because of what it does - it's useful because of how it does it (seamless for a non-technical end user) and its integration into other, especially mobile, applications. Until you can roll-your-own references into commercial mobile apps, or make sharing a cloud file with a colleague with a different OS and no access to your private net available with a single click, whatever you hack together won't be Dropbox.
What it is to be human shows that we are creatures who literally NEED to kill everyone who bars our way. But this kind of indiscriminate killing doesn't play well with "society" and stability, so we make laws against it.
Arguing that you should be able to share your Miley Cyrus collection because it's human nature to share ignores all of the other human instincts to subjugate, kill, and procreate to pass on the most powerful genes of the pack - all of which we have made illegal, for much of the same reason copyright originally existed. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it null and void.
I have a Ford truck which likes to die when it gets cold (well, it did - I got it fixed this year). Could be on the freeway at 75MPH, could be as I'm slowing down to turn. Happened entirely randomly (except for the common factor that it could happen below 30F, but usu only once every 3-4000 operating miles).
The brakes work sufficiently to stop the vehicle, the steering is !@#$ heavy - but only "unmanageable" at very low speed. Aside from being annoying, losing the engine is rarely a "dangerous" situation. The situation of Ms. Melton's death appear to have potentially been aggravated by the ignition switch failure (which prevented the airbag from deploying), but according to TFA the ignition failure happened "during the crash" rather than just prior to her losing control. It seems rather odd that this would cause her to lose control.
Seems like an engineer who isn't up to snuff for the investigation, or simply that the error was non-obvious. Finding a solution once the problem has already been solved is a college-level event. Real engineers figure it out from scratch.
If you can't figure out the problem from the original part, perhaps the problem is beyond your engineering capabilities.
This guy wasn't some random engineer pullled off the street - he was their expert witness. Someone who should know quite a bit about what it is he's going to testify about in court. And yet he was unable to identify a flaw that resulted in the deaths of 13 people. If I were defense I'd be discrediting him pretty quickly.
So what you're saying is that when you get real engineers and designers to identify goals and work together, you get an efficient design without the need for all the VR crap. Instead, we hire whomever got a 4.0 but can't work a socket wrench and serve multiple masters so get a clusterfuck that achieves none of the goals and is so interdependent that it's nearly impossible to fix should anything go wrong.
I guess either way the planet is going to end up uninhabitable - we may not choke to death on smog, we'll be overrun by hipsters. God, what an awful way to go.
Bingo. And the precipitous drop in rate was not really a function of de-regulation, per se, but of the requirement that the lines had to be shared. The barriers to entry were lowered.
What we need is a full-on, forced corporate divorce of plant operations, provider/service/access operations, and content creation and distribution. You can't own more than one as a corporate entity at any level. Destruction of vertical integration offers only minor cost savings when compared to the cost increase a monopoly creates in the intellectual property area.
And the funny thing is - they were right. Nobody prints photos at home in any quantity that would approach threatening a large photographic print processor.
That they didn't catch on to digital imaging and the fact that people now don't bother to print pictures on paper at all (home printer or lab) and instead post them online was the mark of their implosion.
But breaking into a house you've leased to someone else is illegal. Sure, you own the container, but the contents are actually owned by someone else. You may be able to do certain things the other person's content is contained in, but you can't do anything with the stuff inside.
Who in the world thinks that Russia DOESN'T spy on the US and GB (and France and Germany and everyone else for that matter). FFS - we ALL do it to everybody else.
This is like complaining that farts stink, and somebody just found out that we left a beige cloud in the restroom. Somebody light a match, close the door, and get on with it. In polite society you hold your breath and pretend like nothing happened, because the next time the remains of the burrito might be yours.
This is a youtube competitor like Crackle or Hulu is a competitor. It will fail if it wants to be Youtube, given the policies at Yahoo. This is more of a video commerce site for a curated few, not a place to throw up videos for the hell of it.
The government gives, but not in the way you think.
The government provides the entire framework for an orderly society, without which we would not have roads, air travel, financial intercourse, or a level of personal, financial, and societal stability and safety every single person in a first world country takes for granted every day.
That's not to say that the don't screw some things up, or misplace priorities, or have management issues - but without government there would be anarchy.
Kind of a non-story, really, don't you think? How hard is it to believe that a crowdsourced data application can be poisoned by an intentional attack using spoofed data?
I would have thought a coupon for a free pizza a drink would have been enough. It's not like Target blew up a town, they just lost some CC#s. On second thought, maybe just a free drink with your next purchase.
Have you ever tried to create *content* and effectively distribute it on an (unjailbroken) iPad? It is an exercise in futility and frustration. I have both (okay, not a surface, but Sony Win8.1 tablet), and I only use the iPad for surfing, watching the occasional TV show in bed, and as a big GPS in the car. OTOH, I use the Sony to edit CAD drawings, type up reports and send them to clients, mark up architectural prints (pixel accurate pen FTW*), compose music, transcode and distribute audio files...pretty much everything I can do sitting at my desk. The iPad is a toy - granted, a toy that has some utility - but it's just a toy.
*I've tried about 4 different pens on the iPad, from $10 eraser points to $100 bluetooth jobs. None of it comes close to "writing". Even with the "same" program (Bluebeam, which has an iOS and W8 version) it's just painfully slow and inaccurate on the iPad.
On the contrary, it biases the animals taken in a given year. If you are a hunter and have a week to take a large game specimen, you are likely to make a different decision about what is an "acceptable" take if you are limited to ground review vs being able to survey a much larger area and select a better trophy animal to hunt.
This seems to be aimed specifically at sport hunters since subsistence hunters would be less selective or would simply have more time, as local residents, if they felt some odd need to harvest a particular size animal.
Time and refinement is needed. The parts don't have the structural capacity (not in any size which is practical), and the finish parts are not up to the level of actual architectural finishes in most cases.
I'm not sure this is actually going to get you that far. The difference in radiant flux (moon vs sun) is T^4, so you're talking about a 200-300K source vs a 6000K source, or (if I inverted correctly) about 8.7mW per m^2 power at 100% efficiency, compared to 1400W/m^2 of solar.
To help Jade Rabbit "not freeze" would have required (?) an acre of array, I'm guessing. It would have been better to use a deployable MLI canopy as a secondary shield against the radiative losses to space and capture the heat directly from the ground under the rover. Again, not that it would help much as you're then prevented from moving except within the canopy.

Progress!
125% x 81% = 100% (to two significant figures, which is as close as we can get from the article data).
OTOH, it would be interesting to see if you could gain a long term benefit by letting people sleep in an extra hour on a regular basis.
...it's Instagram filters.
I guess either way the planet is going to end up uninhabitable - we may not choke to death on smog, we'll be overrun by hipsters. God, what an awful way to go.
Spying on friends is generally seen as poor form.
So is farting at a social event.
Unless you're doing it maliciously and overtly, and disrupting the general flow of the dance, it's not something to get upset about.

Fool me twice...maybe it's not a problem with Microsoft, eh?
Oh, c'mon, how could you not end that rant with, "That smell - it's not burning brush, it's the glorious smell of freedom!"
