If the UK has a sane legal system the judgement will be overturned and the judge smacked. I mean a picture of a red double decker with a black and white big ben isn't exactly a unique or novel concept. I mean what's next, copyrighting a woman in a red dress popped from a black and white photo?
Not to mention that for a public company (or a non-sole proprietorship private company) the investors would be wiped out in bankruptcy. Investor don't tend to look too favorably on a company that wiped them out so good luck with the new companies IPO or access to the capital markets.
I'm glad that for political reasons we use a third party reflector to do our video conferencing. Basically one of our partners had a flaky video conferencing setup that their IT guys couldn't or wouldn't fix but were all too happy to blame us because we would host the conferences. We tried everything we could to insure things went smoothly but when we could find no faults with our setup (and many other sites around the world never dropped) we implemented a layer 8 solution and moved the hosting of the conference off our equipment and onto a third party reflector. The other party continued to drop until their management got so fed up with the obviousness that it was their fault that they hired someone to fix it. Since it works and protects us politically we've kept the system, guess there's a nice bonus out of it in that we have no open inbound ports for the video conferencing gear =)
It's doubtful it's Keyhole (satellite) imagery, while Keyhole is pretty damn powerful the fact that the last few zoom levels are visible means it's aerial quad imaging taken from an airplane. Basically if you're in an area where quad images aren't available Google will use Keyhole images but the last 2-3 zoom levels will show "no image data available".
Not without a warrant they don't. See Kyllo v US, and since it's a supreme court the rules do NOT vary by jurisdiction (at least for definitions that include the whole of the US and incorporated territories).
In general legally obtained evidence provided by someone not acting as an agent of the government is admissible without a warrant. Think tv footage of an incident or cctv footage. If your neighbor can view it from their property without violating any laws then them reporting it to the police is a ok. The police will generally use that information to obtain a warrant to seize further physical evidence but that isn't strictly necessary if they can prove their case without it.
You make a bunch of assertions in your post without any backing data, show me a government loan program where it's lost more than 10% of the principal.
As to you other point about what Tesla should do with the loan money, they've had a very public strategy since the company was formed and have hit all their marks along the way so far AND as a bonus sold their technology to other auto manufacturers.
You're missing the fact that it was a LOAN, not a grant. Remember that the government actually made money on the loans in TARP which brought the total cost down to $34B, a small fraction of the $700B initial outlay.
DAC's aren't exactly free, especially decent ones capable of handling WUXGA and above at 60+ Hz. By removing the need for the DAC they are reducing cost because the vast, vast majority of displays are digital.
What I say is someone didn't know what they were doing. Why would you have both generators powering a single feed? It makes MUCH more sense to have completely physically independent A+B paths that only share a common ground/earth. Heck in that scenario they must only have a single ATS which in my experience is the least reliable part in an emergency power system (generators can be finicky but in a well run center they are tested weekly so you should know when they are acting up, most places don't test their ATS regularly and if they do then they're actually making the reliability worse as the contactors wear down).
I would think for cooling a datacenter in the PNW freecooling would be even more efficient than geothermal, though with supercomputer density energy consumption perhaps they can't move enough air around without significant building modifications that would outweigh the energy savings? Oh, and the summary is pretty misleading, they aren't using 72% less energy _total_, they are using 72% less energy on cooling.
BS, how many people here had to buy a $150 Calculus textbook or a $120 Chem 101 textbook. There is no shortage of people able and willing to write either and there is certainly an audience of more than a few thousand for each. The real problem is that textbooks became an industry and therefore there had to be new product every year whether there was any justification for one or not. It's a problem that will ultimately be self correcting, but it will take some time, either costs will come down and release cycles slowed or we will hyper accelerate them through things like khan academy and wikipedia.
Big deal, call me when they can bring down the booking system or actual order processing system of the stock exchange. Saturating someones bandwidth or connection pool limits on their load-balancers is childs plays if they aren't specced to handle it.
Turn off last access time and you can get faster compiles on NTFS, but it was never a particularly fast FS, just a very reliable one. The AOW architecture in ReFS will help with the situation because metadata updates will become large streaming writes instead of small random ones.
Personally I'm loving the idea of data integrity streams with mirrored spaces, I hope that they implement ANSI T10 DIF so that you can have end to end data integrity from disk to application.
Sure, Google can easily stand up to big content, they earn more in profits in one quarter than the entire movie and music industries make in a year combined. They make that profit because they connect us to a vastly larger amount of content then the content companies can hope to provide, so the content companies are trying to push through bills like this to force us back into the broadcast age where they control what we see. It's a silly idea and it's extremely unlikely that they will ultimately succeed but unfortunately one of the costs of their attempts will be serious amounts of our civil liberties if we allow them to. We publicly berate the governments of the middle east for trying to censor what their citizens can do online, but we are quickly marching towards the same ideas but replacing government as the censor with corporations.

Plus the majority of the union workers remaining are in government or government contractors which just leads the Dems to support more statist viewpoints.
We won A battle, the war is far from over and it will require constant vigilance. The monied interests of the content industry and those who want more central government control aren't going to give up just because the issue got hot enough once for the legislation to be dropped. Expect to see it again in front of every Congress from here on out, and I'd bet that next time the core provisions will be attached as riders to some must past legislation like the defense appropriation bill instead of as a standalone bill that is easy to shoot down.
Cost is the main obstacle to a LEO constellation, the only commercial provider to try it went bankrupt and even the company that bought their assets for pennies on the dollar only survives because of very lucrative US military contracts.

Best bet, sync to their online service and create a new profile, it should bring back everything but your addons and their settings.

Aluminum is quite common all the way up to the breaker box, I know the few boxes I've worked on all had aluminum service lines.

True but the majority are USAF and AFAIK none of the drones are controlled from the field (though they can get a video downlink in the field).
No, no they are not. All the USAF drones are controlled from Nevada.
Which led to glaciation....
The original Globalstar went chapter 11 just like Irridium.
Glaciation isn't a little climate change, it's the northern hemisphere being covered by miles of ice! You don't adapt to that.
