You don't have to enforce scientific results; they have a tendency to do that by themselves.
No, they don't.
You have to keep testing them and showing the results. Because the people on the other side will keep repeating the same lie over and over, and inventing new lies, and putting them out in every new medium, making them look like the current state of human knowledge, while the facts you thought were enforcing themselves are gathering dust in a journal on the back shelf of a library nobody visits any more.
Science isn't animate. People have to sell the truth at least as hard as other people sell the lies.
Depends on the particulars. Since he was out looking for crime, that kicks in whatever local laws there are about vigilantes; then you add samaritan laws and whatnot. And he was, according to the witnesses, incorrect in assessing the situation as a fight. It's also not likely to be his first visit to that courthouse. And the publicity is only going to amplify the judge's sense of putting a lid on the fantasy. I'd be surprised if all he gets is a talking-to. Probation is likely, maybe a significant if not stiff fine. Jail doubtful. Mandatory community service would be very poetic, and maybe therapeutic. Channel that ego to where it can do good for people suffering without the glamor or airplay.
BTW, if the prosecutor knows that the battery is done to stop a battery, and knows the law says that's legal, then it's not prosecutable in any sense other than the one in which any prosecutor can charge anyone with anything to waste the court's time and the state's money and ruin his own job rating. So no, it's not prosecutable. There'd have to be some nuance to the facts, like: dude says he thought it was a crime in progress but it wasn't.
Jeff Bezos is an infamous micro-manager. He micro-manages every single pixel of Amazon's retail site.
Whut?
Amazon's retail site is a mess. It looks like it was created by checking "Do you want to use the default presentation?" on a retail-boxed online-store app.
So either Bezos isn't quite as involved as this dude thinks, or Bezos is incredibly lax in his personal standards for information, organization, and aesthetics.
Wow. If what Facebook gets is what he just said, then I don't want Google+ to get the same thing.
Sure, upgrade the API. Convince devs they will have a willing herd of eyeballs to cadge. But please, do not let it turn into a crashing avalanche of sorry crap in the process.
Take the Facebook openness, and apply a little Apple App Store QA.
Oh, and become your own Zynga. Because letting them take down the primary dollar stream is dopey.
If I'm sleeping off a bender in a cardboard box in an alley, haven't taken my thorazine for a couple of days, and the DTs are coming on, do I really want to be woken up by this guy handing me a sandwich?
Batman's superpower was living in a make-believe universe where money could buy magic and criminals have shitty aim or attack like they took a number and waited their turn.
Well, no, the last thing we need is deluded people with no training mugging people. Deluded people with martial arts training can put a dent in that, or at least spare us the hassle by tying up some of their population. Figuratively. Unless they have bat-ropes. Or phoenix-ropes.
Perfect illustration of why we're resistant to change.
Imperfectly applied to this situation.
You don't retrofit opposed pistons into an existing engine block.
You design a whole new car and manufacturing process around it. You're retooling the factory from the concrete up, so it's no more or less skin to do it for one or another type of engine design.
They are supposed to have a procedure whereby everything that could be loaded anywhere gets scanned for possible infection. Standard practice for that sort of operation, in the military, government, or (competently configuration-managed) business.
Clearly, someone wasn't following the procedure, or their scan didn't know about this bug, or the bug came in out-of-band.

They would be wrong.
Reagan and W set the records for spending increases, and Obama won't break it.

"Obama hasn't done anything right" is a canard. Stop falling for right-wing propaganda.

Admit it.
Most of you want to buy a rubber-coated armored suit with comedy abs and a cowl right now.

He could probably do the same job dressed up as Superman, and people would dig it.
I just want a little heads-up that he's in town.

Jumping on someone to stop battery is, itself, battery.
Doing it to stop them from jumping on someone else is a legal justification.

GM committed a couple of billion dollars to hydrogen-powered cars and the Volt.
It's not about commitment. It's about ownership.
Asia has much less of a problem stealing your technology from you, so they're open to things they didn't patent themselves.
I fail to see how having to make two crankshafts become one drivetrain is going to make it lighter.
What it will do is allow you to use counter-rotation to prevent torque from making your otherwise free vehicle spin around its axis continuously.
I had exactly that thought as I hit Submit.

So you're saying it's a good thing that they're competing their proprietary mindset against your open one.

Excuse me, I have to go take care of this.
So they're looking for ways to spill other kinds of toxic waste in my backyard?
Such innovation.
