Why did GM write into their bail-out a few years ago the clause that they cannot be held responsible for malfeasance which occurred prior to that bail out?
We all know that the police generally don't put a high priority on retrieving lost smart phones. So, if someone ever absconds with my smart phone and I use the app that I have on it to track it down, I will simply call the local sheriff's office and tell them that I have located my phone, give them the address, and tell them that in 10 minutes I will be going in locked and loaded to retrieve it. That should give them sufficient time to prevent a more serious crime from taking place.
Drones in the private sector are getting to the point where the only way to really resolve some of this dangerous behavior is to require operators of the drones that go over a set height take classes and get some sort of certification. I don't know aviation enough to know what height that would be.
It can be a fun hobby, but if they aren't flown responsibly and safely, eventually a mid-air collision with a helicopter is going to cause a fatality. At least with proper training it would lessen the chances of that.
One of the places where the Internet truly succeeds is by giving everyone a voice, thereby creating a watchdog effect that mass media has failed at themselves. Granted, not many use their "voice" for a worthy purpose, but those that do may never have been heard if it weren't for this medium.
They should have kept better track of their usage. They could have upgraded to a plan with more included wiretaps, or even considered one of the "Shared Family Wiretap" plans.
Now that we have at least temporarily stopped commercial netting of the sea lion primary preferred food source (smelt), perhaps they will go back to eating those.
That last free-flowing stretch of the Columbia River that the OP mentions is also the last stretch of Columbia River that maintains spawning habitat. It also accounts for a very large portion of the salmon that return through the Columbia River estuary every year. If removing this dam would open up more spawning habitat, this would not be a bad thing.
They are being polite. You have to voluntarily join a public and un-trusted network to allow them to snoop. At that point, you are practically leaving your doors and windows wide open for someone to break into your home, so to speak.

Makes me sick thinking about it.
How much of this has to be revealed before the general population in America cares enough to do something about it?
As an American, I worry.
I have the Disable Ads box checked. Technical glitch?
Bobby Knight would seem to be the obvious chair-throwing choice in coaches.
With this I feel now more than ever that my job isn't nearly as fun as it should be.

So then what you are saying is having an expensive camera doesn't automatically make someone an expert video camera operator?

Just before Mother's Day, so many a geek can go see Grandma and kill two birds with one stone.
They traditionally haven't paid much attention to the law, so I'm not certain that they would do much different here.
When companies pick and choose their statistics so blatantly and make a claim like this, it really makes me trust the company that much less.

Funny coming from someone who does a show of that name. It's just pretend anarchy.
Wouldn't a RaspberryPI be cheaper and do the same thing?
I seriously doubt that.

The Hanford reach is what I am referring to. The stretch that isn't dammed because of where it is. That stretch.
Not really. Anything upstream would have to take at least part of the load.

Sorry, but the BBB will not help you. It's a front controlled by the businesses that they pretend to police.

Stock holders do.
Great, like the college text books need another reason to come out with a re-write for next year.
