It is the same "immunity" government has on any issue -- you're supposed to vote them out of office.
They should turn it over to a regulatory agency. Then, every single elected official can claim they don't support it, while it continues apace. Then you will be placated, if history shows correctly.
We want developments as quockly as possible, as that is the most important factor in saving lives, not handing it out for free.
That means research, government funded or private funded. We should be proud the US, "only 6% of the world's population, using 25% of it's energy" invents 50% of everything invented every year.
Other nations should be more like us, not the other way around. If, and it's a big if, what you care about is saving lives.
The problem was he didn't generalize enough. Much of the world allows groups to outrage, and, by doing so, activate politicians who will silence their detractors. Hell, even Europe is crossing this line with anti-blasphemy and other laws against speech sufficiently outrageous to someone, as defined by someon's ability to outrage and vote.
Something like the First Amendment is a death stroke to this sickening dynamic. The last time I can remember something like this happening in the US was 20 years ago in Chicago, where some politicians seized a painting of a popular former mayor in underpants, under the sophistry of preventing a riot. I don't know what happened, but I hope the Supreme Court shoved their fist up Chicago's ass.
They, and all politicians throughout the world deserve it. One less vector to power.
FWIW, Chrome's result is identical to my default, pre-Chrome, Android 2.6.3 browser. This would make sense if Google had removed the code from Chrome rather than a half-assed version; this must be the default infinit incompetence look.
I take that back. Infinite incompetence would crash. Possibly also infecting the Internet.
People mocked un-privatizing of airport security at the time -- politicians, running around like headless chickens, needed to look like they were doing something, so they took it over directly. Had it been government, they would have privatized it for the same reason.
The prosecutor knew this, and informed the defense first, and then got a warrant, and only then viewed the photos.
Basically they can take the phone and inventory it, but not its contents without a warrant.
It's a small but important legal distinction. I can't imagine judges not approving such warrants on phones of robbery suspects, but go throuh the proper paperwork, thx.
> Can we all just agree that idea of "copyrighting" characters is ridiculous?
Nope. However, copyrighting characters indefinitely is ridiculpus. Life of author + 20 years is fine to protect their financial interests and contracts (he may stupidly step in front of a bus).
Life + 90 years or whatever the latest bump is, is just to protect ongoing money generation long, long after the original author's interests have evaporated.
And no, I'm not looking for the inevitable dark and gritty reimaginings of Micky Mouse.
Damn! Someone, maybe a military research project group, should invent a robust networking system resistant to outages and automatically rerouting through many other connections. It could connect various military networks, and if any site goes down due to a bomb, rerouting is instantaneous.
Wouldn't these kinds of things be more accurately described as GPUs with integrated CPUs?
It's been 10 years since Intel started panicking when they realized a Pentium core could be tucked into a tiny corner of a GPU, as far as transistor count went.

Screw that! I want the robot to drive.
There will come a day where people will wonder if it's ethical to let humans drive, because they will be the only ones causing accidents.

You've obviously never built a product with these in them, have you? Hehe.
DVD players are a nightmare, too.
Write to "the standard", and 90% of the stuff out there doesn't work, and you have to do special cases for all of it.
"Well, that's that hardware company's problem!" You're fired.
I used to build nav radios. The HDD hardware is standard and the RTOS can handle it -- we would even plug in bigger HDDs to test.
These are ruggedized, and so lag normal desktop HDD in size by some years, but Ford is just being cheap.

In California, the right lane is for merging and exiting, and driving.
The second lane is for driving and swearing at the right lane to let you in.
The third lane is for billboard conniseurs to see both sides of the road.
The fourth is for fumbling with the radio.
The fifth is for police chaces where the guy is trying to blend in.
The sixth is for passing, which doesn't work so well because you travel slightly slower than the other lanes.
The seventh, the leftmost lane, is the HOV lane -- Humans Or Ventrilloquist dummies.

Summary: so it's a little over a mile a second, 24500/3600 = ~6.8 hours.

And for some reason, the computer can always kick your ass at this game, too.

Ooooh, we're down to under a trillion borrowed this year! The amount borrowed is only $120 billion more than the entire DOD!
Our credit card bill, interest only, is $330 billion this year. Did we get our money's worth the last 30 years?
Well, the politicians you elected borrowing that sure did, and retired fine. Ahhh, public servitude.

He's right? You have access to the US's security reports that have cleared Putin, thus showing it is mundane trade protectionism?
