Century Schoolbook 12pt font is good enough for The Supreme Court of the United States, it should be good enough for any of them. Lazy attorneys use Times New Roman.
I am not a lawyer, and more importantly I am not your lawyer. This is not legal advise; if you require such advise, contact a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
The commenter is probably another shill trying to discredit tesla through bad press.

With all of the invasions of privacy by all the console makers, we should neither support or encourage these companies by purchasing these products. Once we have realized that video games are simply a mechanism of the ruling class to track and control the masses, the better we will be.
Imagine an Internet where anything that wasn't unencoded unicode or ascii where only recognizable dictionary words and standard protocols were allowed.
Imagine everybody being restricted to running iDevices where they could not install any unauthorized software on their computers.
Imagine that if it were encrypted, the government always had the private key, and the encryption was only there as a facade. The only public keys you'd have on your machine were the government's decoy keys.
Imagine if all software developers were targeted by the government with surveillance and public scrutiny to ensure that no illegal tools were being built.
Your lawyer? Any real slashdotter would represent himself all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States and change every other precedent set before them.
Just ask one, every true slashdot user knows more about the law than anybody else in the legal community.

I also think that it's worth noting that there was no barrier that was broken, other than the fact that it was another unit higher in the base 10 system. There is no news here.
Also, why is it special that he rented Amazon's computing time? If he had rented computing time on a University supercomputer, or a cluster owned by another private corporation, would it have made a sensationalist headline? Had a University donated the time to him, would it have been news? This is nothing but astroturfing for Amazon's proprietary service, and has no place here.
I hate how the press sensationalizes the idea of renting out server space and calling it the cloud. Even marketing geared towards IT Professionals does it, and everyone speaks of the idea of having someone host your file and calling it "the cloud" as if just happened a few years ago. It's almost marketed as some mysterious magical force that just puts everything into play. I hate it. Get off my lawn.
Wheels would be a lot better.
Once the rover was made available, our moonwalkers hopped in it and took off exploring. No legs just eliminates the middle man.
Before we know it, we'll have software developers fused to our chairs and fed through tubes as to increase efficiency.
More like put wolfram alpha and parts of Wikipedia in a different position. Google would still be the go to for search.
I do like the idea of IBM.com or Watson.com boldly becoming a tranquil place to find answers.
Any out of the box solution that you try and move everybody to is going to have a lot of pushback. Since this was developed in house, it is most likely that every user's needs were catered to in a very specific manner. What you will probably find in trying to push something that you want to install and use, is that people will expect you to have the ability to change things very rapidly. You will hear a lot of "Well this is how it worked before you switched it."
Getting the information from your old system to an out of the box solution is going to be a huge hassle, and you will probably end up losing a lot of data in the process. You should look into having a developer improve or streamline the current system instead of trying to push a one size fits all solution down everyone's throat.
Granted, every organization and every situation is different. I would stay away from anything that you can't host in house, because you'll be blamed when the company goes belly-up and loses all of your information.
The alternative was to keep the last-generation phone still around for quite some time as the lower-end device. This way, they are able to cater to the second-rate market while still giving them a refreshed device.
This is just the result of media-pandering as usual. People have been making guns ever since they existed, and the NSA has been spying on us ever since the proliferation of the telephone. It's just that big media loves grassroots-like stories to keep the Y-gen kids interested in everything.
Stereolithography stimulates the minds of pseudo-intellectuals who dream of one day saving up $1,000 to buy a cheap one, and go on to imagine somehow changing the world with it. Things like this fuel the hype, and get more kids watching the news that comes down from the mainstream, and then onto social media sites like reddit.
If it gets a few more kids interested in engineering every year, I suppose it's harmless and they could be pushing worse things down our throats.
As for the rest of us, we can simply scroll down past these, and pay attention to the real things that matter in this topic like discoveries in new material technology.
I know it isn't always cool to support Apple, but I have to say that there are a lot of things that were just fads before they came in and did it right. Even if they didn't get it right, they normally did something to do it better, or to make it popular.
Look at how many mp3 players there were before the iPod...
I believe the application fee was $35, so they have already raised a whopping $7 million that I assume will be leveraged for more publicity stunts in raising further money for the mission.
The main speciality of the Mars One project is fundraising and public relations, not space travel.
The Fifth Amendment should be extended to any party in any type of court. Testimony should always be voluntary to all parties, unless there is an immediate danger to the life and safety of a third party. Even with this system, I could see this being paraded and manipulated in court and used to extract testimony.
There is no reason why someone should be protected from self incrimination in a criminal court, but not in a civil one.
But if you do this, you're doing exactly what this $3 Million PR Stunt wants you to do! Don't let the man... ugh, I'm too tired to think this argument through...

Doesn't anyone remember the last time we found plastic on another planet?
BTW, Blackberry, if you're looking for a new CEO or VP-level manager to implement this solution, I'm available.
With a favorably moderated comment on Slashdot on an article about said company, I don't see how you couldn't get the job.

I'll alert the proper authorities.
I'm not sure if it does this, but another good layer of security would be to require the passcode after maybe two failed fingerprint attempts.
Sounds Familiar
