Buy a thousand-watt power supply rated to 90% efficiency
Spend all your budget on a PSU of whose capacity you'd draw maybe ~30-40% at most? Now there's your problem. An 80+ PSU of around 550W would do just fine. Remember that the best efficiency is achieved at around 50-60% power draw of total rated capacity, and on most normal gaming rigs you'd hit pretty close with a 550W PSU.
This capability already exists, but it's not an app. It's a loudspeaker behind the police car's grille. I have no idea how someone could come up with such a ridiculous idea, to use an app to communicate to a car.
The two guys who were training him for a year, radicalizing him and providing him with a trigger to pull at the right moment, were in fact FBI agents. So was he *really* going to bomb anybody or did they put this thought into his mind and the evidence on his lap? Entrapment is a tricky thing, and especially in this case if it indeed involved unconstitutional wiretapping.
Relating to what you said, I found this interesting piece from a few years back. No doubt this is starting to be the new norm around the world, also on the Internet. The Internet in itself is in a sense a free-for-all space, but there are indeed walled gardens where most of the content has been amassed.
I feel your pain! It's extremely annoying and disrespectful how people nowadays think a phone call is more important than an on-going conversation in-person. It's essentially the same thing! I mean, you wouldn't usually hang up a phone call just to answer another.
Free open source software lets a wider audience to increase productivity, which in turn has often quite direct positive effects in the economy. This is something the legislators usually don't (want to) take into account.
If fair use is hindering their business, how would free use weigh in? Take open source, for example. Microsoft could easily argue Linux is making it difficult to sell their OS for server use. In fact, I'd imagine that if they somehow managed to eliminate fair use, free would be their next target: making it very difficult through restrictive legislation to produce something for free unrestricted distribution without some sort of monetary aspects attached. Essentially forcing all competition to play on the platform they fully control.
There's been some very worrying news coming out of Australia in a steady stream. The Big Brother is certainly on a roll there.
I think that money would take away the soul of most of the podcasts. I want to listen to people who do podcasts out of the sheer love and interest toward a topic, whatever it may be. Forcing podcasts to a pay-to-listen model would, first of all, with absolute certainty introduce DRM into the mix, and that in turn would likely limit your listening options. It would likely also take away some of that amateurish approach from the free flowing discussion and make it too formal and strict in the sense of what topics are covered and how.
If someone gets a hold of your private key (physical phone), they can access all the historical conversation data if they can mandate Facebook to hand it over. This is probably not a concern for most of its users, though, and a capability only few government agencies would have. But even this threat is mostly thwarted if your phone is properly encrypted.
Why ask the operators for cooperation when you can get that data yourself? Or ask the NSA for some help. Sometimes, when you're under investigation, it's also fun to spy the people investigating you
Not only the US, but the entire world. Both Trump and Clinton will likely do plenty of damage to the world economy and peace in their own twisted ways. At this point, the third party candidates are the wild card that might sway the outcome of the election unexpectedly.
Nice gadgets they have and little respect for the constitution, too. They have not up to this day demonstrated that these intrusive mass spying mechanisms and continuous and ever more severe invasion of privacy has brought any real results. It's as if they're just gathering information of every individual citizen for possible later use. Be it for prosecution of inconvenient individuals at a later time or for the purpose of creating a paper trail in a totally unrelated case.
Absolutely nothing will change until there is a third party that gets some meaningful proportion of power and influence to disrupt the crony capitalists infesting the Democrat and Republican parties. It never seizes to amaze me how the US has come to this. Torture and massive domestic spying apparatuses are the new norm accepted by the majority of people.
I used to dislike.NET a lot, but as of late I've started coding more and more to it. It's easy to be productive with it and prototype stuff, but I still favor other platforms and technologies for long-term projects that require more robustness. Java, on the other hand, has always been a pain in the ass for me personally. Might be because it's just been misused so widely and after Sun, Oracle has also been a pretty damn good reason to hate it.
And GitHub has every right to do so. Or do you disagree?
Do people and organizations not have the right to control their own property, and what causes they're associated with? Do you think you should be able to dictate what content someone else's website must host?
I think this is a very dangerous mindset and it's mentioned when people argue about content on private websites. You remember when Facebook was found out to be tampering with conservative news articles and effectively preventing them from appearing on the trending news list? Based on your premise this is acceptable behavior.
Things like this may be legal, but it doesn't mean they are acceptable.
I've got Win 8.1 and Linux in a dualboot setup on my computer and have been playing Dota 2 on both OSes. Performance on Linux has been on par with Windows and since the latest couple of patches I've seen the Linux client run even a few frames faster on average than the Windows one. On most other games the performance on Linux has been really problematic, though. The only other game I've seen run on my Linux perfectly is Natural Selection 2. The devs of NS2 have really put a lot of effort in developing the game further even though it's been over four years since its release.
The media has a tendency to turn a birds fart into disaster.
As a proud parrot owner, I can tell you that a bird farting usually means disaster. Whenever she farts, it usually means she has diarrhea. Trying to get that stuff off the carpets is not a joke.

He's been spending a lot of time with APK hosts file guy lately. He's bad influence.

The other major annoyance is this.

Ah, that changes things, and an interesting detail too.

They manufacture Nissans over there. Don't underestimate the global demand for Nissan Notes and Jukes!
I totally missed the equation there. :S

Two negatives give a positive.
I don't know that it was ever proven to be deliberate behavior, but they are allowed to do it regardless.
If it is legal and you are free to opt out, then there isn't really a problem. Opt out.
So you see no moral issues with the largest social media site with 1.60+ billion users manipulating the news its users see?
Acceptability is a personal decision. With most unacceptable things, you can either opt out, ignore it, or setup an alternative.
Yes, that has worked well in the operating system arena with Microsoft throwing their whole weight against competitors.
You could also legally call someone names on the street, but it doesn't mean it's acceptable nor that the community should tolerate it.
And GitHub has every right to do so. Or do you disagree?

Parrots and cockatoos tend to have pretty solid excrement. When they have something akin to diarrhea it's all over the place...
