Oh, it was quite clear. The FBI asked him simply "Did you hack Hillary's Email? If you did it is another crime that we will charge you with. If you say that you didn't then we are not going to charge you with that, since we would rather say that you didn't. So did you?"
Wow, I can't believe that someone named Zuckerberg would try to do something illegal with taxes he owes this country! Not with all of his past businesses "experiences". The man is a philanthropist after all (the Internet said so).
... authors recommending capturing some of the value from increased property values.
In other words, we want to do this and get rich of this, but in order to do it we are going to build near your homes and then tell you that your property value went up and have the state tax you more (giving that money to us). Even if you never use the damn thing and just want to live in your home without selling it, you owe us tax money so that we can pay ourselves a lot for this unproven fiasco.
I'm a registered organ recipient. I don't want some hack of a doctor pulling the plug on me just because they want to harvest my parts. Recognizing that they are going to do whatever they can to make a buck, I would much rather be on record as "Keep me alive by expensive surgery of donated organs" than "I willingly donate my parts so that you can keep someone else alive".
The closest pole to me is on my property, and I'm not even an AT&T customer any more. Shouldn't the same public interest laws that they depend on to stick those ugly poles on the property that we pay for, right in the very front, also apply to others? We sure don't need AT&T and the power company and Google and the local cable company and everyone else who wants to to stick their own ugly creosote soaked poles on our property, which would seem to be the alternative unless AT&T is somehow more privileged than the others.
I've used a tablet to try to control Chromecast, it is a complete pain. I want a remote with the simplicity of the Roku remote, not a touch screen or keyboard and mouse hack. But unless there is a soft keyboard in Kodi that I'm missing (and I hope there is and it is just hiding), no simple remote is going to have the utility of the Roku remote (particularly the new one with voice search included).
No way either Apple or Amazon, each favor selling you their own content over letting you find it elsewhere. Roku isn't perfect but may be the best choice you have if you want an off-the-shelf commercial product.
Kodi is interesting, and you have more content available with a PC option than a media appliance option, but convenience fails when you need to use a mouse and keyboard, so look for options that help you get past this. Also, expect the usual Linux BS when using a Linux based Kodi appliance (such as errors that just say "something went wrong, check the logs" even though you appliance configuration gives you no access to logs).
Well, if Dell is going to just screw me and not issue software updates for the Android device that I bought with their name on it, expecting that an American company was less likely to leave me without updates than a much less expensive Chinese source, then I guess I'll just have to buy whatever Dell wants to sell me now, even if it is Microsoft crap that no one wants.
You miss the point. they apparently are upset because the law applies to everyone. They apparently now believe in laws that apply to some people but not others.
Well, most digital cameras and phone cameras currently have a filter to BLOCK IR light.
That is not my experience at all. In fact I've yet to find a digital camera or phone that I couldn't point at an IR source such as a TV remote and actually see the IR light being sent out. I use this little trick all the time to determine if faults with an IR remote lie with the remote or with the receiver.
It helps authorities disable your camera so you can't record them kicking your arse onto an encrypted device and/or up to the iCloud....
Maybe. But it is pretty clear that all cell phone (and maybe camera) manufacturers will be forced by the government to license this technology from Apple, and I expect the final version will not work with a separate IR sensor, it will just use the camera lens to capture the "DO NOT FILM" command and act on it. Of course you could cover up the lens, but that defeats the device too. I doubt if you can effectively block the signal that disables the camera and still have enough light to film the cops beating you or your family.
The article states that it swings from the side and moves forward. But can it adjust up and down to find the charging plug precisely? I'm not being silly here, a Model S has considerable adjustment in the Z axis (driving low is great for feeling sporty and improving mileage, but riding higher can be important for protecting the batteries from speed bumps or other things that could cause serious problems). While you could tell the car to adjust to the highest setting whenever it gets home, I would rather see a snake that can just plug itself in no matter what the current car height is.
I think amateur sports are a great thing to get involved in, but pro sports....
At least where I'm located amateur sports are mainly a doorway to professional sports. We have supposedly amateur athletes (don't ask where they got those expensive new sports cars) who get through four years at universities taking courses that never really meet and they get As in, but they graduate not only ignorant but in many cases illiterate. And their coaches make more money than all of their other teachers combined (not that I'm advocating for more money for any teachers complicit in this). And the real paying students are charged steep "fees" that go to support this. Getting rid of professional sports would be a great first step, and a lot of corruption incentives in amateur sports would go with it, but amateur sports wouldn't be entirely fixed by getting rid of pro sports. If anything it likely would drive the sports fans to more interest in amateur sports and increase the problems (including drugs and cheating) in amateur sports.
Oh, Steam. The DRM that keeps you from really owning the games that you supposedly buy. So what? This doesn't affect me. I'll never buy a Steam game. In fact it might be good for me. Maybe some developers will wake up to the evil of Steam and quit using them and I'll have more gaming choices.
I think you're on to something with the drug test idea. It would certainly make the Grammys and other self congratulating award shows more interesting.
Any rules that a self driving car must sacrifice the driver to save more than one pedestrians will quickly be voided as soon as gangs of thugs (or just one thug with a few dummies that only have to be good enough to fool an AI) figure out that they can get a car to kill a driver and therefor collect all the loot just by having the AI see a handful of pedestrians jump out on the street (preferably a nice winding mountain road). Do you really want self driving cars where a violent mob can force the car to kill the driver, or stop so that the mob can pry open the car and kill the driver?

Next step, checking fingerprints to spot diseases earlier.
No kidding. I've sworn to never use Facebook, but now if Israel hates it .....

Roku has thousands of channels available, and over 100 are not focused on shoving someone's religion down your throat.

Because there is nothing that says convenience more than needing to use a mouse and keyboard with a media center.

You're absolutely right. I'm just confused that the fools who did buy into this haven't modded you down as a troll yet.
Perhaps he could have done it will less, but it is unlikely he could have done it for a lower price than a $5 Pi zero.

If we gonna pretend to try to stop all of the cheating in professional sports we might as well do away with professional sports.
