And do you have any evidence that those things have been used when the owner is driving the car (even if wanted by the police) or only when the car is reported stolen?
Sure. Case in Las Vegas. Note that the FBI's use was not deemed illegal/inappropriate, but rather that it denied the user/owner of use during that time.
Frequently, a fuse controls more than one thing. On my 10 yr old F-150, the same fuse powers the cig lighter/power tap AND the OBDII tap. Disable 1, disable both.
1. A car designed for manual steering is quite different than one designed for power steering.
2. There is a wide range of speed and turn radius conditions between straight freeway and parking lot.
Chinese no-name dual-SIM touchscreen phones are way better than their price point and reputation would suggest
character recognition (Chinese and Latin, but it's error prone) And the phone can be set to English (with some Engrish in the mix of course). Caller not in the adressbook with CLIP enabled had their numbers spelled aloud. In Chinese only of course:) Downsides and eventual deal-breakers were some Engrish remains in the menu but the worst was some menus that were in Chinese only, no translation available.
According to the local 6 pm news, all fixed and back online, data intact. Evidently, the affected machines were on a shared network, NOT just the City's.
He didn't invent anything, he's just the one who had the idea of selling "popcorn can lids" as "flying disks" and convinced a toy company it was a good idea?
And you've sold several hundred million units of what, exactly?
Hell how many people could get to work just fine with a $150 bicycle and avoid gas bills entirely if they wanted, yet still drive to work in their gasoline car?
The vast majority. At my last job, out of ~200 people, we had one (me) who routinely rode a bike to work. And 80%+ of the employees lived within 5 miles.
Here's my question, and yes it's backwards thinking.. but if you ripped out the electric motors and battery pack, what size engine could you shoe-horn in there
People laughed and bitched about Win7 Starter in netbooks, because it can "only" run 3 apps at a time. And people are loving this thing, and it can only run *one* application at a time.
Amazing.
The fact that the Russian mob will now be using botnets to spam us with ads for v1@gr@, c 1 @ l 1 s, and (shudder) Saabs is news I'd like to know about as a nerd! I mean,
It will be spelled S@@b, $aab, or some combination of the above.
Hmmm. You mean except for Scaled Composites and SpaceX
And how many vehicles have these guys put into orbit? I'm counting...two. 1 dummy payload, and a Malaysian sat.
Not saying that these guys have not done an outstanding job, but lets be careful about giving kudos for awards that repeat 40-50 year old achievements.

Ask one of the Kennedys. They should know.
Proper lighting, focus, tripod, and a large enough flat surface should produce pretty close to scanner results.
Faster than the scanner and stitching.
I don't want to hear the excuse "oh that's because Japan is a small island." We have as much empty space as the US to be sure.
As much as? Japan is the same size as Montana (377,915 vs 380,847 sq km). And far, far more densely populated.
How much of it is really worth saving?
Pictures of my grandmother from the '20s? Priceless. Mostly useless to anyone but our family, but there ya go.
How do I protect myself from a skimmer inside a gas pump?
Pay cash inside.

I'm surprised the Navy hasn't picked up on this more.
They have. And even with fuel cells. And helicopters, too.
this option was cheaper than most name-brand used phones and at the price I paid, I won't be terribly upset if it's complete garbage.
Why would you pay actual money for 'complete garbage'?
Ok, $5 maybe. But I've got a bag of actual garbage I'll sell you for $10, if you want it.

Doesn't sound 'way better' to me.

(I also don't watch local TV news, so I don't know if they mentioned it)
It was mentioned on the Tuesday (I believe) news.

Why should they be a bank? Their primary purpose is enabling transactions not the usual roles of banks.
They hold user accounts - you can keep money there.
PayPal credit
PayPal Money Market funds.
Sure smells like a bank to me.
...after coming back from a planet and get eradiated.
I read that as 'eradicated'
NOT GOOD!
The new Sanyo Eneloop's and a line of Duracells come precharged.
Hell how many people could get to work just fine with a $150 bicycle and avoid gas bills entirely if they wanted, yet still drive to work in their gasoline car?
The vast majority. At my last job, out of ~200 people, we had one (me) who routinely rode a bike to work. And 80%+ of the employees lived within 5 miles.
Which came first, the car or the recharging socket?
Oh, shucks, EVs will only suit the needs of 95% of the population.
How/where do apartment dwellers recharge? You can't run an extension cord out the 5th floor window.

Whatever is in the regular Lotus.
His long running scam is no less criminal.
