It's about all three. A system that releases people should probably analyze recidivism when designing sentencing and work on rehabilitation though (in order to be 'sane').
From other comments, it sounds like most of the systems use at least two senders, and when the output does not match sufficiently, close the throttle (assuming the reliability on the individual sensors is high, this is a reasonable response; I'm sure that a good deal of thought goes into how quickly to close the throttle and such, to mitigate consequences when it happens at high speed; a more expensive system could use 3 senders and continue to function while reporting that 1 of the senders had failed).
You may just be healthy and/or have a high tolerance for pain. I don't really get headaches, and am a little bit crazy, so far this year I have only taken 3 ibuprofen (to help deal with a sprain), but I'm not sure I would attribute it to thinking the pain away.
Yeah, it sounds like his friend shouldn't have been driving, I specifically remember being instructed to operate the gas and brake with only my right foot.
In a car with an automatic transmission, there is an interlock between the shift mechanism and ignition to prevent you from locking the steering when the vehicle is not in park.
It had better. Generally, automakers take failing safe pretty seriously for electronic systems, and government safety bodies take it even more seriously, so I wouldn't fret too much.
If I were programming/designing the drive by wire system you describe (don't worry, I'm not), I'm pretty sure that I would read a shorted potentiometer as closed and only use about 1/3 of the range of the thing (so it would be apparent if it failed in the other direction).
Going a little further, I would only use about 1/3 of the range of it, in the middle, so a short would be an obvious failure condition (as would the highest resistance of the potentiometer).
Take a look at the Nook, the second screen is a small touchscreen underneath the main screen (for controls). It doesn't resemble the side by side 2-page nature of a book at all.
Theft vs burglary is sloppiness on my part, not a reading comprehension problem (saying that to everyone makes you look like a real swell guy by the way).
Anyway, my whole point was that the problem is in the law, and that it should be fixed; I would probably vote against a prosecutor who regularly pulled such shenanigans, and I don't think he should have been charged under the commercial burglary law, but none of those things change the (apparent) fact that he (and his apparently crappy lawyer) were sufficiently afraid of the charges to bend over and plead to the shoplifting (so apparently they felt he was guilty under the law as written).
Blaster was 6 years ago, and most Windows systems now have an inbound software firewall turned on by default (since XP service pack 2, released in August of 2004, more than 5 years ago).
It isn't real clear from the Sophos article, but at a glance, it looks like 8 out of 8 of the viruses discussed are trojans (or were executed as if they were trojans, a couple of them are autorun worms, but the article implies that they just copied each of the programs to the system and then ran them).
Just watch some more Jessica Biel films, the mediocrity will all blend together (I'm not necessarily saying she is bad, I haven't paid enough attention to know, but she sure has a lackluster resume).
It's better than ICS, the host laptop shows up as an access point that the other laptops can connect to (in my experience, connecting to an access point is quite a lot easier than setting up an ad hoc network).
Someone attacking a password they believe to be random isn't going to worry about English letter frequencies (adding duplicate symbols to the pool doesn't really increase it's randomness; think in terms of 'ab' vs 'aab' or 'aaaab', if I discover information about the pool you used, 'ab' is going to be 'more' resistant than the other two (in that it will take two guesses half of the time, instead of 1/3 or 1/5 of the time)).
Really, the set of scrabble tiles in a standard box is a bad example, it wouldn't be real hard to sort out 1 tile of each letter and use those 26 tiles to generate the password (placing the tiles back in the hat and shaking it a bit after each draw).
If we are going to split hairs, we might as well do it all the way.
You are talking out both sides of your mouth, if he went to the store to steal the CD (which his admission sort of implies...), then it is pretty clear (from what you have stated) that he was guilty of the commercial theft. It might suck that the commercial theft law applies in a case involving $20, but that's different than him not being guilty under the existing law.
You can actually store the data in a Tiff file compressed using jpeg or lzw (which isn't real far from gif), and while software support isn't great, Tiff also supports using an alpha channel.

You just haven't been screwed by Sprint yet. It might not happen, but I wouldn't bet very much against it.

That people are willing to drive vehicles they do not know how to turn off is a massive failure of driver education.
(I'm not sure I would have been bothered that I didn't know how to turn off the Prius, but I would be now...)

Did you buy a service manual and brain him with it? (he is obviously too cheap to take it to a mechanic...)

They weren't even zero-day viruses, they were trojans horse programs and the like (which they explicitly executed as a regular user).

The software is running two networks across the same radio (one of which is an access point).

This software is nicer than that, it is using the same wireless hardware to connect to the internet and to offer the access point.
It's better than ICS, the host laptop shows up as an access point that the other laptops can connect to (in my experience, connecting to an access point is quite a lot easier than setting up an ad hoc network).
I think he was talking about it not being worth ruggedizing against hand grenades and rockets.
I'm not sure I agree, but I think that was probably the line of reasoning there.

oh-WTF was fine.
