My phone has an option to unlock on face and voice. What can anybody's customs personnel do if they take a phone, but need the owner's face to unlock it?
Flip side -- my phone says this option provides weaker security than a password. Why is this weak?
And the most dangerous hacker in the world, whose greatest skill was asking people nicely to give him things, was put into solitary for eight months for fear that he might use a pay phone to politely request a nuclear launch.

Expense - You can build it for about $1800 per machine or $3600 total if you go full-on hardware raid. That would give you about 4TB storage after parity (4 2TB drives - $800, Raid Card - $500, basic server with room in the case - $500)
Either use a RAID controller or use ZFS. It's not a good idea to use both at the same time.
Unlikely. There is no evidence that the cop saw the defendant before entering his car and preparing the paperwork to fine/arrest him.
You might want to read about what happened. There's a convenient link near the top of this page. There's even an original source linked from there, if you want to hear the story from the people involved.
Kaveh Kamooneh parked his car, left, and shortly after that an officer came by to search his vehicle. When Kamooneh returned to the vehicle the officer confronted him, informed him that he should be charged with theft by taking, and then left to file a police report.
A week and a half later Sergeant Ernesto Ford, who was not the same officer, got an arrest warrant and sent two deputies to Kamooneh's home at 8 PM, a time which conveniently meant that Kamooneh could be booked and placed in a cell, but unable to be released until fifteen hours later.
Are you trying to tell me that in the eleven days between the original police report being filed and Sgt. Ford preparing the paperwork to send Georgia's Finest around to put him in jail, that he didn't have tje time to look at the name "Kaveh Kamooneh" and compare it to "John Smith"? Even in Georgia it doesn't take that long to sound out the letters and figure out what they say.
Considering the wonderfully tolerant history of small-town Georgia, where people of all origins and colours are universally welcomed with open arms and considered part of the family by one and all, it's more likely that some members of the Chamblee police department simply don't like electric cars, but there is always the small possibility that one unusual American just might dislike people of Iranian descent and be looking for an excuse to act on that.
not illegal to enter a vehicle being used in the commission of a crime in progress
yes this stealing of elecricity was wrong and illegal, electric vehicle owners have no right to plug in whereever they find an outlet.
Gasoline powered cars produce exhaust which contains noticeable amounts of poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide. Clearly the driver of any vehicle putting such dangerous chemicals into the atmosphere (Where children might inhale them. Won't somebody please think of them?) is committing attempted murder which is wrong and illegal, so that makes just about any car in the country fair game.
Finally the car owner could be electrocuted or electrocute someone else if the outlet or car is misconfigured, exposing the school to risk.
If the school was so badly wired that plugging in to an outlet could cause that kind of damage then someone is exposing everyone in that school to an awful lot of risk, and it's not Kaveh Kamooneh.
You complained about battery life, said that the e-ink display was a better option, and implied that you had been waiting years for a device which could provide both.
If your other requirements were just viewing maps or reading books then you didn't need to wait so many years, as you could have fulfilled those needs with an Android powered ereader like the Sony PRS-T1 back in 2011.
If, on the other hand, you have been waiting years for a smartphone with two 4.3" displays, a 1.7 GHz Krait CPU, 2GB of RAM, 32 GB flash, that runs Android 4.2.2 and isn't available in North America, then yes, this is exactly what you have been waiting years for.
How about a patent?. Look at the name of the inventor. Before inventing USB, Joe Decuir worked at Atari in the early 80s and designed the SIO bus for the Atari 800.
You could have had not only an e-ink display, but a battery life of over a week, and you could not only drop it on the ground but run over it a few times with a pickup truck without damaging it. All for under $50 in the USA, and that's only because it was marked up as an import.
The only down side is that you would have an actual phone used for talking to other people with phones, rather than disgruntled avian simulator. Some folks consider that to be a problem.

As a developer who was once given the task of managing and developing Sharepoint, I find his actions to be perfectly balanced and justifiable.
In that situation, I would fly to Hong Kong immediately and not waste time making copies of any secret files.

They might be able to use some new science-fictiony technology to fool the facial recognition software. All they would need is a box capable of capturing your soul, or perhaps a document which you were conveniently carrying for them with a copy of your face on it.
The U.S. Constitution has absolutely fucking nothing to do with this because it didn't happen in the United States.
Are you suggesting it would if he had been in the USA?
And they still qualify to be Mayor of Toronto, or at least have a set on City Council.
Every time an OpenBSD system needs a random number, instead of trusting any hardware device, it phones home and asks Theo to provide one.

It's true. The biggest tip off is the presence of Canadian Intelligence Gathering Centres throughout the USA.

In Georgia? Where the temperature drops below 0 C for about twelve minutes every year?
I would be surprised if you could even _find_ a block heater in that state, let alone plug it in and use it.

Stranger things have happened.
It was installed on the outside of the building for the same reason you have electrical outlets on the outside of your house.
It was installed so that visitors leaving their cars in the parking lot could plug in their block heaters?
I don't really see how that example is helping your case.
It's illegal to leave your car unlocked? Eh? Try that again. WTF? Sorry, FFS.
Yes, it is.
The official story is that the local police felt their time was better spent writing tickets than chasing down stolen cars.

I've been asking for one of these for years.
So why didn't you just buy one years ago?
