\ Now you will just have to hire hit men on amazon prime. Dude, he tried to get 5 people killed. He's not a hero just because you think he stuck it to the man and sold you your drugs on line.
indeed, assuming he was guilty, and the jury thought so. Press accounts pretty damning and red handed in the arrest. then it seems like those charges omitted what Id consider the most heinous crime: soliciting the murder of 5 people.
I loved his lawyers theory that the Mt Gox mogul was really the mastermind. That would have been such a wickedly cool story. Since the FBI seized the assets of Silk Road about the same time Mt Gox had some liquidity problems it even seemed failntly plausible. I'd love to hear what the jury made of that piece of spaghetti on the wall.
Yummy neurotoxins in their shrimp and fish, melamine in their infant formula, firewalled global internet, and censored bloggers. Before the Pure Food and Drug Act in the US it was common for bakeries to add sawdust to bread, and then there's the great killing fogs of industrial england.
freedom from regulation isn't freedom in all cases.
Were talking about Apple and GT, not microsoft and Nokia. In the apple GT case, apple lost a boatload of cash and a banner product. I don't think they came out ahead. GTs market capeven if they got all of it is spit in a bucket compared to what apple lost.
These are so-called "lights out" operations because they employ so few employees (relative to the prior residents) that the ultimate benefit to the community is extremely limited.
There's even a new german data center where they scrub out much of the oxygen. Apparently it helps with both security and fire control. No humans can go in.
I'm surprised by the choice however because one of GTs claims was constant power disruptions were a factor in their poor crystal quality. does not bode well for a data center. And I would think that one would prefer cool outside temperatures and a source of water for cooling would be good too, both of which are in short supply in most of arizona.
On the otherhand GT's original product was solar cells. And Arizona is a good place for clear skies and sun in the US. maybe they are thinking about a solar powered data center? I'd think it not important to co-locate it near the solar cell supplier however.
The ultimate benefit to the community will be taxes and perhaps upgraded infrastructure.
The coefficient of expansion has nothing to do with this. The volume of rubber does increase when heated. But that doesn't determine how the elasticity behaves.
It's a classic science fair project to stretch rubber or polyethylene and then heat it. the student's expectation is the band will stretch but it contracts with heat. Same with polyethylene and shrinky dinks in the toaster.
Yes we all know about PV=nRT. But it's not just the pressure P and T that are changing in the equation. Why not also consider the rubber bladder, leather and stiched seams. Rubber and other un-oriented polymers Expand when chilled. the stitching threads are oriented to they should compress when chilled. My guess is the leather will expand too. So the pressure could drop just from the ball's volume increasing not just a constant.
Finally no one seems to consider an even easier way the balls could get deflated. The reason people like deflated balls is because they are more supple to grasp. Some QBs like to have the balls scuffed for the same reason. It would seem like a really good idea to achieve this would be to pour rubbing alchohol (isopropyl) on the balls. This is what cobblers do before they stretch a leather shoe. The balls would just soften on the outside plus expand under pressure, deflating them slightly. This might even be quicker to do than inserting a needle in each ball.
There were cell phone based payment systems before iPay, but now the point of sale terminals are going to finally happen. I think apple Pay is going to be a huge money maker as it becomes wide spread. It's timing is interesting. Credit card makers in the US are on the cusp of rolling out chip and pin and merchants will need to upgrade their point of sale terminals. . No one is excited about this mandated cost since analyses have shown didn't change the total amount of fraud (in the long run), it just shifted it from in-person fraud (where the chip works) to internet sales. However, apple pay, which does work, can just slip stream right along on the mass pos changeover without imposing an extra cost the merchants were not going have to pay anyhow (for chip and pin).
Second, this year at least, apple appears to have the best finger print reader. As motorola noted recently they left finger print ID off the new nexus because all the other vendors of the technology produce unsatisfactory finger print ID. It's either too many false positives or too many false negatives.
The challenge to apple pay of course is the market share of handsets. But as long as there are enough to make it worth making the NFC sensors compatible with Apple's bank authorization schema they will be in stores, giving apple a growing drip feed of cash.
1) You could use the last 4 digits of the package tracking number as the delivery driver's PIN, and tell him or her what to do in a note stuck to your front door.
I think they need to have a Capcha as well so the delivery person can prove he's a human not an autonomous drone. Make him do a mathc problem to compute the number.
This is the plot gimmick used in the horrible movie "The Dilemma" starring Vince Vaughn and his fake sound makers to make Dodge electric car engines sound "less gay".
Gravity is a hoax. The earth is a large flat disk accelerating through space on the back of a rocket propelled tortoise and the sun is small light source only 100 miles above the plane of the disk. It's really the B-ark space ship carrying away the descendants of the true earth's telephone sanitizers and hairdressers. Don't fall for the lies of "big globe" and their well paid "scientists".
Smoking in public spaces was as much your "right" not long ago. What the law allows is subject to renegotiation. In this case there is a compelling argument that unrealized value to the public might be had by controlling wifi access. There are also compelling arguments that say this could undermine some other virtues as well. After all this looks a little bit like the encroachments on net neutrality and compelling cases have been made for keeping the net open. But it may be you who is arrogant to assert that my arguments are specious by saying I'm taking your "right". It's just a regulation and one the FCC has already sought public comment on in contemplating changing it, so it's not really a "right".
Another example might be proposals to lightly tax stock trades to curb abuses by privledged high frequency trading networks . Is it your right to freely contract with others? Or would most people be better off if abuses of the market that skim your profits by advantaged traders were ended.
Creating a regulated market often allows greater access and use of themarket by the public. My original post noted that more people would benefit than lose. Peace of mind is not a trivial things when losing your gmail password can ruin you.
The easy solution would be simply to put a card on the nightstand giving the name of the safe hotspot you should connect to. And/or name the hotspot "Mariott Internet - all other hotspots should be avoided"
Warnings in my hotel room Do me no good in the lobby or bar or front desk when I'm trying to pull up my reservation on the e-mail.
So I gain peace of mind and lose nothing of value if they do this. Why should I not like this. Well, aside from the $15/day they're charging you to connect, even if you already have your own personal hotspot anyway.
As I noted, blue tooth works fine for tethers. Blue tooth requires pairing so it's not anonymous like Wifi. USB is often convenient as well, especially when I'm charging things. Blocking wifi doesn't inconvenience me at all for tethering.
Even if they could make the case that all airwaves inside their hotel belonged to them, their blocking could affect people near their hotel as well. How can they tell that SOME_WIRELESS_HOTSPOT is located in one of their rooms as opposed to in another building right next door?
As a thought experiment, if they could technologically create a reliable perimeter to their blocking would you then be in favor of it?
Technically it is possible to do such a thing either by clever directional electronics or by simple agreement with the neighbors. They might not go that extra mile of course but they could, and in fact they pretty much would have to if their neighbors complained to the FCC. Furthermore, most of the marriots I have stayed in are isolated buildings so the strawman you describe would never occur at many of their locations.
Isn't this just the same as bars that jam cell phones. It's a customer service. People go there to escape their own ambient connectivity and the grating rudeness of person at the next table talking on their cell. It seems very logical to me that businesses should be able to control the airwaves in their own spaces.

No. rubber expands in the cold.

This will help ali baba. E-bay had the same problem. I've encountered dozens of fake scams on ali baba. Mostly for watches.
You become what you hate.
4.4 won't run on devices with less than 512M so even if the carriers wanted to they can't upgrade.
This is not an unreasonable solution.
What???? it's totally unreasonable for a web connected but embedded OS.
