I think that would result in too many malicious reports from dissatisfied customers. They need to find the correct level of burden that doesn't dissuade someone who suspects poor food handling/hygiene from making a report but which does not encourage everyone who was served lukewarm soup or was upset at the limited selection of ice cream flavors to send the health inspectors round to visit.
Certainly there could be a link at the bottom of the page, but it might want to ask for specific examples of poor hygiene witnessed/dirty conditions; also to ask if anyone became ill - and if so whether they were treated by a physician.
My cell phone needs charged at night, but I don't consider it to be a wired phone and I don't find the charging cord to hinder me when making calls. My laptop, on the other hand, stays plugged in most of the time because it won't last a full day otherwise. It is hampered by the power supply.
I think the idea here is that short term charging for devices is necessary, but normal operation would be wire free, thus they are liberated from wires.
Whoever did the sums appears to have confused agencies with police officers, since that gives $344,444 per agency.
There are about 461,000 sworn officers in local police departments, giving a revenue per officer of $13,449. Local police officers only make up 2/3 of the total number of officers in the US, so the actual revenue per officer is even lower.
I'm not the OP, but I use this booster in the car. I use the larger antenna and get a huge signal boost. I get 3G where I'd normally only have edge, and a signal in areas where my phone normally reports no signal at all. The booster uses a USB connector to charge, so I have a $10 two port USB charger in the car that supplies power to both the booster and my phone.
The booster only works while the phone is in the cradle, so calls need to be by speaker or bluetooth.
Is the impact of this really limited to Russia? LiveJournal is now based there and, while I'm sure it is used much less today than ten years ago, it must still host a large number of accounts belonging to bloggers in the US and elsewhere. Will real names now need to be attached to these accounts, or will their owner's real names need to be passed to the Russian authorities?
Most the cars I've encountered allow you to program a third key if you have the original two. Are there newer cars that prevent the owner adding an additional key themselves?
The problem usually arises when people don't get a new key before losing one of the first two, and a $20 key becomes a $200+ key and trip to the dealer.
So the real problem is really spam phone calls/texts and the failure of regulators to do something about it. Otherwise you could hand out your number with little risk attached.
If the FCC made your provider liable for unwanted calls/texts after you request a number/provider stop calling you, the issue of junk calls/spam texts would be over in days.
Since you rarely have control over user's choice of password (an enforcing strict rules may result in the password being written down), xkcd highlights the need to implement fail2ban or similar on any authentication service.
A thousand guesses a second should only be possible if someone has your hashed password list, and if that's the case you're probably doomed (hopefully you chose a good salt and your code wasn't obtained exposing it too). Rather you should be allowing maybe three or five attempts then timing out for five minutes or so or falling back to another verification strategy. At a guess per minute rather than a thousand guesses a second, three days to crack becomes 180,000 days.
Probably because the FAA has much much more experience of the applicable laws, and experts that are better capable of describing the actual endangerment incurred. Otherwise some NYPD cop has to spend days reading about drones before appearing in court.
But all of those protections are still available with modern equipment. There would be no need to hook it up to the internet or keep it somewhere insecure.
So the only difference is the old technology, which leads to parts wearing out, capacitors blowing, and stuff needing replaced, yet the components to replace them may not be readily available. So then you have to improvise and possibly amend the hardware and code to accommodate new and different parts. But now you're integrating modern and ancient equipment on systems where everyone who designed them is either retired or dead. Now many of the advantages presented by your failure to upgrade have become liabilities.
Frankly if Windows is sufficient to run nuclear powered battleships, it should be possible to run the land-based nuclear weapons on something more up to date. It's quite possible to do that and maintain all the physical layers of security already in place.
Correlation != Causation. You could just as easily say that he cured the budget deficit and created more jobs than any president in the previous hundred years because he had a better equipped office.
After all, it's next-to-impossible to hack one of these missile control systems if they're not connected to the internet and code must be loaded on 70's era floppy disks (which are next-to-impossible for Joe Bloggs to get hold of)
This sounds a whole lot like security through obscurity. Not that obscurity isn't good if it makes things harder, but it would be a mistake to rely upon it in any way.
Given the agents you are trying to secure against - i.e. foreign governments - the resources to acquire and develop for 70s and 80s era equipment are easily obtainable.
If the technology being old leads to a lack of developers familiar with the equipment and software, it could quickly become a significant hindrance to good security.
Don't you think that the newsstand might have higher overheads per copy sold than Apple?
The OP was not complaining about the margin per se, but that the margin in these circumstances where costs are low and all the actual work has been performed by other developers, is grossly high.
The rest of the world will likely ignore this, as most other countries have avoided creating such duopoly/monopoly situations as have been encouraged by regulation in the United States. Where providers have to compete, there's little incentive to be the carrier that slows down service X,Y or Z. If necessary, the other countries that do have monopolies will use regulation to achieve much the same.
That's a thoroughly strange premise that a good CS book must be language specific? As if the stuff by Knuth or the gang of four no longer has relevance. There's also obviously non-technical books like The Cathedral & the Bazaar or The Mythical Man Month (the later of which may have dated a little) that should be in any comp sci focused library.
The real value should be in automatically increasing my thermostat temperature at times of peak demand.
If every household could temporarily increase the thermostat temperature when demand is highest, there should be significant potential to reduce the cost of electricity production. Currently there's a need to maintain generating equipment that is normally unused by which can be quickly ramped up when loads peak.
Of course, ensuring those savings get passed on to customers rather than shareholders is a much more difficult challenge.
Is it really that difficult to come up with a chip of write once memory, so that when the IMEI is programmed it can never be altered? Better still if it could be incorporated into the CPU or a similar part that would be unfeasibly difficult to remove. Is there any good reason that the IMEI can be reprogrammed?
It might be helpful to note that he's not proposing a ban on gun ownership, rather that the individual states should be allowed to regulate such ownership more than is currently allowed.
Not necessarily. It may be that the bug was known to others and that Google and Codenomicon were both monitoring channels used by more nefarious types. Both organizations may have independently 'discovered' the bug after each becoming aware that an exploit existed without having full details of the exploit.
You'd think that all they do is sell papers, when in fact they collect and organize them.
Anyone that does serious research will have used specialist librarians before. Just because the data is out there and available, doesn't mean you're going to find it. Even if you do find it, it doesn't mean your search was efficient.
Of course the bill has a catchy name - Let Me Google That For You Act - but the author(s) don't understand that their proposal is to shut down The Google, not encourage its use.
Well pretty much anyone can start a lawsuit. But what damages are they suing for? Reimbursement of the purchase price?

The figures are nonsense. There are 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the U.S.

Pick any two.

You can always take the 'just stick to the speed limit' approach. It's also pretty effective for avoiding tickets.
