A thoughtful response. Organizations many times have a culture which embraces change and in other ones or times a "not invented here" psychology dominates. But I have no argument with your experience. I have no dog in this fight; I simply wanted to point out that this has been investigated in individuals before.
Yes, exactly. It is possible that Apple applied for a patent on this technology to prevent it being used by anyone, at least for the life of the patent.
Then, again, if times get tough, it can always be monetized.
Part of your registration fee is a "Vehicle License Fee" [ca.gov], which is a tax on the vehicle's value. Since it is a tax (and deductible from your federal taxes), the California State Franchise Tax Board probably uses its authority to automatically take it's money from your bank account directly.
You are exactly correct. My point is not the wretched excess power granted by these laws, but the insecurity of banking when governments are deeply in debt. Read the GP with this in mind; I was supporting his point that governments have the power to remove assets from bank accounts without permission or notice.
Governments (state and federal) in the US and doubtless other places in the world as well are able to tap into bank (and credit union) accounts for various reasons.
Two years ago, I moved from California to Oregon after retirement, taking my car and bike with me; I left my banking in San Francisco for convenience (not changing automatic payments, etc.). California withdrew my registration fees directly from my bank when they were overdue (the vehicles were "garaged" in Oregon at that time). I had no recourse.
Keeping your assets in a US bank is more risky, I judge, than keeping it in your wallet.
...(C)lips have a metal spring. This spring can have a coupling affect and change the radiation pattern of the phone.
Pockets and purses can have coins while backpacks can have lots of metal items. It really doesn't matter, though, as the damage likely, if any, has already been done.
Thanks for the info; I knew there was only one place to get training to become a police chief, but I didn't know why -- I assumed it was simply survival of the fittest (school.) A duckduckgo search on "calea" filled me in.
Judge Hellerstein discussed "copyright trolls" and noted that (a) it is not clear that Malibu Media's porn products are entitled to copyright protection...
Normally, a judgment that a work is "pornographic" disallows copyright protection in the US, just as giving a prostitute money and not getting "relief" cannot be tried as a fraud in court. An illegal contract cannot be tried in court because it is illegal, therefore, unenforceable.
Some cases in some places have ended differently. IANAL.
That was 14.42 V with a failed Pb battery (internal short in one cell, apparently).
I dunno how this voltage regulator works, it being controlled (I think) by the bike's Motronic CPU (ECU). I just went out and started the bike and got a 13.81 V reading above 2500 engine rpm, with the new LiFePO4 battery installed, which, I believe, is insufficient to charge it. This was with a cold alternator (less than a minute after starting up) in a vehicle I know not to charge well until the electronics are warm.
I plan to do some more testing tomorrow morning, especially on the rest voltage (13.2 V with ignition, fuel pump and headlight working).
Meanwhile, I bought an IMax charger for it just in case....
It says right on the ad you linked that they recommend the use of a ctek lithium charger
Their "tech" said otherwise. I'm sure they would like to sell you a charger that costs more than the battery it charges!
You're right about alternators' voltage regulation, but only partially so. My motorcycle -- not car -- puts out 14.4 V max at ~2500 engine rpm and is rated to produce 50 amps. 50 amps would be too much current for a lead-acid, so we'll see how this battery fares in service.
LiFePO4 batteries are not useful for cars or trucks (or snow machines, for that matter) because they do not work for crap when temperatures fall below 0 C. Cold makes their voltage drop below useful and may permanently damage them, especially over time, according their tech.
Since I never ride my bike when it's that cold, I'll take the battery indoors to keep it toasty till spring. That's the plan, anyway.
I bought it here. http://www.batterystuff.com/ba... I live very near Grants Pass, so I picked it up. The pickup price was $139. The internet price with "free" shipping is ten dollars higher.
It may have a charge controller. I talked to the folks there at length about charging. The bottom line is more than 14Volts and less than 15.0000!! with high amperage. Up to 60 amps was mentioned. Charging time is said to be about six minutes with the right charger. I was told for this battery size, a 6-amp charger for a car is OK as long as it does not exceed 14.9999 volts.
The battery is made in ROC. The importer/distributor is an individual who lives in Grants Pass, OR.
My cycle needed a new battery. Major brand lead-acid replacements were ~$120, off brands less. But I found a lithium-iron with three times the cranking capacity and the same case size for $140. It also carried a three-year replacement guarantee, instead of a lead-acid's typical 6-month one, as cycles' vibration and lack of winter use kill L-As in a year, typically, And, a great benefit to cycles, it weighed ten pounds less, making a reduction in the total weight of the bike by ~2 per cent.
The will to live is very strong, stronger than rationalism. A panicked drowning person will try to climb on the shoulders of a would-be rescuer, not caring that this will kill both of them. RIP Java AND Yahoo!
The from: was correct. The.exe was a known trojan, and SPAM was the vector; IIRC it was an early form of SQL injection using a known MS bug. The admin I spoke to on the phone first didn't even know his site had been compromised. Me: "Did xxxx send me a trojan in an email?" Them: "I don't know, let me check..."; later conversations with management indicated this spam trojan was sent to all their active customers.
Some years back, I used a small, local ISP. I once got an email from them including an attachment (.exe). Being on a linux box, I opened it, to find it was malware (and the message was SPAM -- someone had cracked their servers).
Do not use an ISP's email and don't even correspond with them. Pay them for their bits and be done with them.
If corporations are people as the US Supreme Court and former candidate for President Mitt Romney have said, then they are obviously people who can ignore laws and customs they don't like. If a human person were to use facial recognition on a widespread scale to follow the public movements of and to gain personal information about another individual, they would run afoul of several anti-stalking measures, at least.

The infrastructure is cheap; it's the tolls which are expensive. To wit: The loans to repay the bonds for the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge required a 25-cent toll. Now the bridge is built and the bonds presumably are paid off but the present 5-dollar toll charge can't keep the bridge painted (look at any tourist's photo of it.)

Just ten or twenty years ago a sitting politician saying this in a "democracy" and expecting to keep his job would be unthinkable.

Scorpion.
I checked the alternator output with a known-accurate digital VOM. 14.42 V max with a fully-charged LiFePO4 at 13.2 V.
We'll see. For the price, if it will get me through this season, it was worth it, considering the weight saving.
Uh, I forgot to thank you for the information; I found it very useful.
Thank you!

So far (two weeks) I have no complaints.
