I know that it is probably too much to ask, but if you had read some of the letter from the NTIA, they specifically mention that there are no performance standards for GPS equipment to be compared against. That is, no one ever told manufacturers of GPS equipment that they had to deal with so much interference in neighboring frequency bands. The result of this may be that some standards are developed, but that does nothing for the huge installed base of GPS receivers.
This just sounds like they build a range extender for the key fob, allowing the fob to be MUCH farther away from the car than it would normally have to be. This is nice to allow access to the car and to get it started, but once you've driven the car out of range of the (range-extended) fob, you'll never get the car started again. Maybe it doesn't matter if they're just taking the car to a chop shop. Still scary, though.
then the equivalent of "jamming in a penny" should be safe and effective
Except that the "eFuse" is inside one of the ICs, probably one of the processors, and is completely inaccessible. Since you won't be able to modify the code that checks the state of the fuse AND you can't physically "jam a penny" into the fuse, you're still shit out of luck.
Losing credit card numbers or bank account numbers for large groups is bad; losing email addresses is not.
Losing email addresses is not AS BAD as losing more sensitive information, but it is still not good. I, for one, wouldn't be happy about that information being exposed.
It seems that the ASCAP should be going after the RIAA so that artists can actually make money on music recordings again. Forget about free. People are willing to pay for music, but even when they do, how much do the artists actually get anyway? Not much, if anything.
Actually, it was used as a noun. According to the wiktionary, "scours" is described as "diarrhea in horses and cattle caused by intestinal infection." That sounds about right.
Forget "rebooting." What they need to do is to combine franchises. I'm anxiously awaiting the Alien vs. Terminator movie, myself. Its set in the future after the Terminators have wiped out all of the humans. Tag line: Alien vs. Terminator: Who ever wins, we're already dead, so we don't give a fuck anymore. It's going to be huge!
Given how important a functioning judiciary is to society, jury service really ought to be better rewarded, so competent people don't have such a strong incentive to get out of it.
Even if I did want to serve on a jury (I've never been given the opportunity), one or the other of the lawyers would probably reject me as a juror. Its widely known that they don't want smart, well-informed people on the jury so that their bullshit can work better.

What happens when it does exit the Earth? and go somewhere where there is more mass... like the sun?
When I read the headline the first time, I read "Cell Phone with Built-in Pocket Protector" and thought, "Wow, that's a pretty cool idea." Cell phones are actually what I do for a living, so I'm always eager to hear about new "features." This projector, however, doesn't really excite me. But, a built-in pocket protector -- now THAT would be cool.

I mean, it's raw uncut assholishness, all the time, and everyone KNOWS it, but for now, they all DO IT anyway.
Actually, the point is that the assholes don't think what they're doing is assholish at all. This will never change.
I mean even the RIAA and MPAA isn't going to sue for sharing with your wife.
Yet.

No, the GPL is a license. The creator of the work retains the copyright.

I'm sorry, my "Disable sigs" preference has completely cloaked your sig.

You missed your chance, dude. You should have said: Mod parent over 9000, Insightful.

Don't be absurd. Even the lowliest code would know that it is "#define" and not "#DEFINE" and that there is NO equals sign! Gah!
I don't understand your medical analogy. Please restate in the form of a car analogy. Thanks!
it is the only way to be sure, of course.
Why would he bother? Google is (will be) far more notable than any silly "Page's Law" will ever be.
(eying the sun nervously)...
Do not look directly at the sun with remaining eye!
What kept people away is that the movie sucked, it was way too long, and had too much Dr. Manhattan penis. It had nothing to do with the rating.
Heavens Above gives predictions for the location of the ISS at your location so that you know when and where to look for it.
It didn't really disappear, it's just not defined anymore.
Sure it is... Its called nullity now. HTH.
