This despite the Bond franchise putting out 25 films to the 9 accounted for Star Wars, not to mention the SW merchandising rights, which are work far far more than Bond.
http://www.sae.org/misc/pdfs/a... states that level 5 is "the full-time performance by an automated driving system of all aspects of the dynamic driving task under all roadway and environmental conditions that can be managed by a human driver"
There's no requirement that the car must lack human controls, only that the car be capable of fully autonomous driving under any condition a human could drive a car.
There's actually an AT&T branded credit card, issued by.... Citibank. When they first came out, it was a combination long distance calling card and credit card. Now, as far as I can tell, it's just another credit card with no particular other benefit.
I suspect that this is at the root of the lawsuit. Because AT&T is already in business with Citibank (and their combined credit card is one that offers the "thankyou" (tm) benefits), Citibank is annoyed that AT&T would brand their other loyalty program similarly.
The elections are not run by volunteers here. I am the Judge of Elections for my district. I get paid by the county for that day, as do all of the other poll workers here. By my rough calculations, the county had to pay out about $2 for each person who voted in my district in the most recent primary election - 379 voters showed up (of 766 registered), and we have a total of 5 people who are each paid just over $100 for the day, plus one-half of a constable (shared with the adjacent district which votes in the same room).
This does not include the wages paid to the staff who configure the voting machines, deliver them to my polling place, collect and aggregate the results at the end of the night, among others. Nor does it include the costs of the printed books of registered voters, signage which we must post to inform voters of the law, and other supplies which must be generated for each election and discarded afterwards (because they are specific to the election - the set of eligible voters changes, the signage is unique to the election depending on what is on the ballot, etc).
This was even the highest turnout election I have run. An odd-year primary (which contains only local offices on the ballot) can have as few as 50 voters turn out, but the costs are essentially fixed, so the per-voter cost is significantly higher.
Since the elections in my state are closed, only registered Democrats and Republicans can vote on most issues. This one had two ballot initiatives, one of which was cancelled before the election (but after all of the machines were programmed and materials printed) and will re-appear on the November ballot, and the other which only affected another city 300 miles away (and even then, only de jure and not de facto, because the action in question was already taken, and the amendment is only to strike the law of something which no longer exists).
Running an election such as this costs literally millions of dollars across the state - one estimate I found put it over $25 million overall, which would put the cost per registered voter at about $3, and more like $6 per actual vote cast (given ~50% average turnout, which is fairly accurate for this primary election).
Health care: individual responsibility. You must either: Indicate on line 61 that you, your spouse (if filing jointly), and your dependents had health care coverage throughout 2014, Claim an exemption from the health care coverage requirement for some or all of 2014 and attach Form 8965, or Make a shared responsibility payment if, for any month in 2014, you, your spouse (if filing jointly), or your dependents did not have coverage and do not qualify for a coverage exemption.
See the instructions for line 61 and Form 8965 for more information.
So, it bundles up a binary and all of the shared libraries necessary for that binary, so that you don't end up in dependency hell. Great, except for what happens when the next OpenSSL vulnerability is announced, and suddenly you need to replace every container which has its own copy of OpenSSL, instead of the one shared system copy.
It sounds like Zipcar, but with all-electric cars. Zipcar doesn't seem to have the problems you mention, so I don't see why it would be an issue just because the car is electric instead of gas or hybrid.
Tell that to Jose Padilla, an American citizen who was arrested on US soil, then held in a military prison as an enemy combatant for three and a half years.
I have a personal domain. I still get misdirected emails. In fact, I get more at my personal email address at my personal domain than I do at my GMail address.
Apple does WiFi location as well. That's how the WiFi-only iPad and iPod touches can get location data.
Skyhook and other similar services provide WiFi access point MAC/SSID to location mapping services. They have people (essentially) war-drive, scanning for WiFi networks and record the locations based on GPS units and upload that to a database. Then, when you have a device which uses their service, it can query the database and get back the previously cached location.
This is, in part, why my iPhone kept locating me to my old address when I moved. Indoors, where it couldn't get a GPS signal, it would WiFi-locate me to my old address, then the location would eventually jump to the new address when it would to the cell-based triangulation. After a few months, whatever database that had my old location cached got updated (or expired the old data), and it stopped happening.
No, they don't have to offer it "via exactly the same means as the binaries".
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
Nothing in there says that the source must be provided in the same form as the binary. You could have binaries released via the App store, but mail out source code on CD, for instance.
You may bring up to 1 gallon of liquor or 384 ounces of wine into the state for personal consumption, per month. Nor would a state police officer have the authority to pull you over simply for coming into the state from the first on-ramp in the next state.
I've brought liquor and wine into PA from neighboring states legally for years.
It turns out the shortsighted legislature forgot to make it illegal to sell wine from a vending machine: "as long as the user is asked to take a breathalyzer test, swipe their state issued ID or Driver License, and then show their mug to a state official sitting somewhere in Harrisburg, who is keeping an eye on the proceedings via CCTV." I'm surprised nobody thought of this sooner.
The system was developed by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, who runs the "State Store" system. The machines are run by the LCB. This isn't some magic end-around the law, it was developed by the exact people the legislature has designated to decide how to sell wine in the state.
Also, Wal-Mart is not the first to have the machines. There has been one in my local grocery store (Giant Eagle) outside of Pittsburgh, PA for a while now. They've also had single bottles and 6-packs of beer available for even longer. (Beer sales are generally limited to "distributors" who can only sell full cases, or bars/restaurants/delis who can sell single bottles or 6-packs. Giant Eagle sells ready-to-eat food in that part of the store, so they were able to get a deli-style license for beer sales.)
The wine vending machines are stupid. The selection is very limited, and the machines only operate during the same hours that the state-run Liquor/Wine stores are open anyway. Given that I have to drive past a state Liquor store to get to the store with the wine vending machine, it's pointless. I just make the extra stop.
The beer section is decent, but single bottles/6-packs are overpriced. I just go to a beer store and buy a case.
At least all of this is a step in the right direction. Maybe someday they will actually allow grocery stores to really sell alcohol like other states. I'm not holding my breath, though.
Also, it would be like saying "why give the United States.us? They use the same language as England, why can't they use.uk?" This is a county-code TLD, just represented in the native script of the country.
It's the job of the PUBIC RELATIONS department to answer these queries. You know, RELATING information to the PUBLIC.
It's not the listings reviewers job to respond. The listing reviewer's job is to review listings. It's not even really the CEO's job. The CEO created the PR department for a reason, after all.
Ah, right. That must be why Consumer Reports doesn't exist then. Oh, wait, they do. CR isn't beholden to manufacturers because it doesn't take funding from manufacturers.
Because there are no third parties capable of performing MPG testing? It's a good thing the government tests every product on earth for you, otherwise how would you know anything about the products?
Maybe you should tell Underwriter Laboratories to close up shop and let the government do their job for them too.

My MacBook Pro had a line of logos on the bottom which are now mostly worn off. The AC adapter has one side covered in them as well.
My iPhone has a row of them across the back as well.
