Uh, and what's a good teacher that the students like: The one that grades fairly but fails students who don't perform, and who teaches evolution over religion?
In a some places that's going to be considered a "bad" teacher, both by parents and many students, whereas the teacher that has mostly movie days is probably going to be fairly popular.
Because of an increased emphasis over "factory farms" and quantity/appearance over quality. Look at today's tomatoes. Big, bright red, and basically a tasteless ball of water as it's been engineered to look ripe without actually going through the proper ripening process. Beef, chicken, pork. Hello antibiotics and super-bugs. And don't worry, while we're also busy killing off the rest of the ecosystem with neonicotinoid pesticides that will decimate the pollinators in North America, we can still import food from China where they're happily polluting the land with heavy metals and other fun chemicals.
I think this is somewhat of a reverse to the situation I was looking at.
Scanners near banks etc aren't going to tell you who performed the robbery, just which cars were in the area at the time (it might help, but manual work is still needed). Manual checks would still be needed: such as comparing plates against a vehicle type known to be involved, or looking up camera surveillance to identify which plate belongs to the suspect vehicle. It's still going to take some time
After that, the cameras that aren't near the bank could be used to determine the route the vehicle took based on historic data, e.g. readers noted plate CRMBOS going right on First St then north on Smith Ave, etc etc. If it takes them more than the retention period to initially determine the plate then they're SOL, of course.
A 1-2 day limit might be reasonable. Active situations don't get broadcast instantly. Similar to storefront cameras, let's say that a bank is robbed and the getaway vehicle ID'ed. You have a window of 24-48 hours to check local surveillance, possibly identify the getaway vehicle, and then check against plate scans to see if you can figure out where the suspects went. Ditto for kidnappings, child disappearances, etc. It might not be known right away that there's an issue, but being able to go back within a window of a day or two might make a big difference in finding the captor, while not being hugely useful in profiling etc.
I wonder what said bio-markers would do for one's insurance. Sorry Mr Jones, but your bio-markers indicate a high risk of road-rage, so we've raised your car insurance... Sorry Mr Smith, but we're denied your life insurance as you're too high a risk of losing control... Sorry Ms Wu, but your house-insurance rates had to be increased in case you fly off the handle and get sued by a neighbour...
I've dealt with the windows version on a few client PC's. It can be a bit of a PITA, but in the cases I've dealt with still seemed to be locked to a given user account (and not the OS).
Doesn't make it any less of a PITA to remove from a user account, especially since it buggers permissions, but the easiest way is usually to create a new user, then boot from safe media, and copy/scan the user's old files to the new account.
I haven't had this issue with Eclipse for quite awhile (at least not the Linux version). Actually, I was just discussing the other day how I'd started using it again in the last few months and how it seemed much more stable these days, as previously it used to lock up or crash quite regularly (often on code-completion, etc). I'm particularly impressed by how well it generally handles C++ and not just Java. I tried Codeblocks for awhile and while project setup was easier, code-completion was hit-or-miss for various libraries.
Comparing to Visual Studio... well no comparison for anyone who isn't a Windows user.
So basically, waits to see if it's what the people she's supposed to be representing apparently want, and then takes up the charge to make it so... and this is a bad thing, how?

This was a "feature" on Android phones from a long time ago. It used to be "Hi Android" or something like that. I know for sure I had it on one of my older android phones - I believe possible as far back as the original Milestone - but disabled it because it was a battery-eater.
I still don't see the point, and imagine that it would still add to premature battery drain. Possibly it might be useful if you've got a device that's always plugged in, maybe a set-top box for functionality similar to Kinect voice commands (but hopefully more accurate).
Ummm, you do realize that Amazon and Google are different companies, right?
I do wonder why this functionality isn't in extensions for other browsers (maybe it is), but other than possibly a bad permissions model for extensions I don't think we can blame G for this one.
So make it something that can be enabled if needed, but is disabled by default. Maybe a special network port that should only be plugged in for recovery or a serial console that requires physical access (both still needing a proper login), or something like a jumper/switch/etc that are off by default by when turned on toggle a recovery console/account.
I wonder if the various spy agencies have a stake in the push for signed "secure" (see: secure against common Linux/BSD/etc) bootloaders. Every user with a non-approved OS is one who may not be open to backdoors installed by corps such as Microsoft who share the keys-to-the-castle with the NSA.
In Linux-land, this is also a pretty strong argument against binary-only drivers, etc, as even a fairly well vetted and secure OS could have some backdoor hidden in the blob...
Than using a computer with no network connection? I mean, you'd probably want to make sure it has no wifi, etc, but that could also be accomplished by putting it in a faraday cage of some sort.
Actually, I'd imagine they're more concerns about such subs being used in 0-day TPB releases. Cut off the subtitles, and sudden the movies are a lot less interesting to download. Of course, there may not be any official copy with localized subtitles either, but the industry doesn't care about that.
Everybody who ever bought any number of books will get a single $1-5 credit toward buying another book

"As fallout from his revelations ruin our foreign relations"
So let's say you have kids, one of whom is a daughter. Your young daughter is friends with the neighbour kid, but when she visits they are being abused. Neither your daughter nor the neighbour's daughter tell, you because they're been told they'll be hurt more if they do. Your neighbour's old son finds out about it, and tells you and/or the police.
So by the above logic, apparently the son is responsible for ruining relations between you and the neighbour... as opposed to it being the responsibility of your sick f*** of a neighbour who was committing an illegal and immoral act...?
It's also because a) The sheepdog/shephard is actually a lion in disguise, and is able to control the information given to all the dear little lambs
b) With [a], the lions have convinced the sheep that their biggest problem is the other sheep trying to eat their meagre share of grass in the pasture...
Well, why would we visit alien planets? Yes, we might go out into space to colonize or gain resources, but at some point in time you're probably going to hit a point where we've mined plenty of rocks and terraformed plenty of space.
Now if along the way we happen to pick up a radio transmission from "Alpha Xenogaph X", is our first thought going to be "let's go steal all their resources" or "hey, alien life, let's go check it out!"
While there may be some on the planet that would go for the former, I'd say that most people would go for the latter. Even from a corporate standpoint, the payoff/fame/etc for being the first corp to discover sentient alien life would probably be pretty damn good.
