1) Several patented technologies that require royalty payments to the patent holders, which will no doubt be big contributors to Presidential and Congressional election campaigns
2) Companies who fought for open technologies during the development of the standard will be effectively locked out of any opportunity to profit from these technologies
3) Consumers will be screwed, as always, by the coalition between government and big corporations
Clever tricks? You mean the "clever trick" of eliminating the need to store it AT ALL by simply sending produced energy where the demand is at a given time?
Don't forget the "Report suspicious activity" messages on 95, begging you to call and report the driver next to you for having olive skin and a beard so they can be shipped off to Guantanamo bay without any suspicion whatsoever to live out the rest of their natural lives without any legal representation or due process.
"The wisest thing is for any defense attorney to do is to ask direct questions as to why this particular car was stopped on this particular day"
"The driver $misc_innocuous_driving_offense, so I stopped him. When I approached the car, I thought I smelled marijuana, so I called a drug sniffing dog, which indicated there were drugs in the car"
This line of "construction" is accepted 100% of the time in 100% of the courts in the US.
That stands to reason. The taste of meat comes from the food the animal eats over its lifetime. Beef cultured in a lab would have in it none of that which makes beef taste like beef.
Our government has become the biggest threat to freedom, liberty, and our way of life, far and away bigger than the Islamic terrorists could have ever hoped to have been.
The soap box certainly didn't work. The ballot box certainly hasn't worked. And, the ammo box is empty because government is buying all the ammo to keep us from getting it.
False dichotomy, even worse leaving out the option they actually want: anyone not a member of the elite liberal ruling class has to go back to living in caves.
In the cell phone market, Time to Market is EVERYTHING. Small things like this have precisely zero shits given about them when the release date is approaching. The phone WILL be released on the release date, PERIOD.
Anything that is wrong with it may or may not be fixed later in an OTA update.
This is why I never run stock carrier ROMs on my phones. I always use a third party "hack" because at least those are more or less continuously updated.
Same boat here. Nobody cares, really. I say it jokingly - at least I used to - that as long as the average American gets their daily dose of the Kardashians (or whatever other entertainment they fancy), the NSA could install anal probes in their sofas and they wouldn't think once about it.
Nobody I know really truly values their rights, or why we have them. "Who is King George?" is a question I get frequently in response to my explanations of the tyranny that brought this country to revolt.
People really, truly don't care that their government is spying on them because they really, truly believe they are doing nothing wrong - when the average person commits several federal felonies every single day and is none the wiser about it.
You need to read the Commerce Clause and supporting case law, which says that anything having an effect on Interstate Commerce is a business record and not a "Paper" or personal effect.
Bank Statements, emails, and so on, are all fair game.
There is almost no demand for computer scientists. None whatsoever. The result is that there are very very precious few computer scientists - real, actual scientists.
What there is an enormous demand for are code monkeys - people who can churn out code quickly that allows a company to meet their unreasonable product release target dates and cost targets - but who don't have any real idea what is going on or what their code actually causes the computer to do.
What if I get together with my neighbor, whose interests are very common with mine, and we collectively pool our campaign contributions to the candidates we decide will best represent our interests?
How about if we include another of our like-minded neighbors? And maybe a few of our friends?
Slashdot Mirror
Apparently it did not dominate at some point back in 2009.
This new "standard" will include:
1) Several patented technologies that require royalty payments to the patent holders, which will no doubt be big contributors to Presidential and Congressional election campaigns
2) Companies who fought for open technologies during the development of the standard will be effectively locked out of any opportunity to profit from these technologies
3) Consumers will be screwed, as always, by the coalition between government and big corporations

The horror.
Aren't they one in the same now?
This is called "oppression," when you live in fear of being the "next" target of government "scrutiny."
They can and will get away with it, because they have more and bigger guns than we do. The war is over, my friend. We lost.
Pretext to taking away more liberty in the name of security theater. /yawn

They're actually exactly the same - controlled by the same bunch. Republicans push just as hard as Democrats for the criminalization of everything.

We're pretty fucked.

Indeed. Scientists are scientists. These people are politicians that claim to be scientists.
"Send wire, main office, tell them I said 'ow!' - gotcha!'
The display in particular is pretty shoddy. I've seen much much better out there in terms of DIY flightsims.
Oh, and to this line in TFA:
"He also has interest from a couple of major aircraft manufacturers who want to use his creation to simulate various scenarios."
No, he doesn't. Aircraft manufacturers have no interest whatsoever in this.

This.

Sorry, but stealing classified information and disseminating it to the public is not "investigative journalism."

In short, no, there is not. There is a problem with the airline putting inexperienced dumbasses in the left seat to save money.
