If they really cared about speeding, they would prevent it with throttles and/or audible warnings. (Yes, there are issues to be worked out there, but not insurmountable.)
But no. They really care about collecting lots of fines, and being able to pull people over if they don't like the look of them.
You mean, you don't *think* it does.
Ask yourself, how many opportunities are there for your ISP to inject some form of evilware onto your system?
That said, yeah, it probably doesn't.
We will establish a secure connection from the cloud to the site owner on your behalf for page requests of sites using SSL (e.g. https://siteaddress.com./
Amazon Silk will facilitate a direct connection between your device and that site. Any security provided by these particular sites to their users would still exist.
Isn't this a trivial consequence of Moore's law, if we interpret the latter to mean exponential growth of (computations/time), and additionally make the very reasonable assumption that users' tolerance for power consumption (energy/time) is more or less constant?
The more I hear about Libertarians, the less I'm impressed. None of them seem able to learn from past mistakes, understand why things are the way they are now or what the straightforward, repeatedly demonstrated consequences of their pipe-dreams are.
The first step is to think very hard about whether you really need to persist that data. Even when there's a clear need you can often scale back.
Next, think about whether you need reversible encryption. If you're just validating passwords, use a one-way function. Similarly, if you only need the data for infrequent audit or forensics, you can encrypt it asymmetrically, where the system does not contain the private key. (Secure the private key somewhere else for emergency use.) The data goes into a black hole unless you manually intervene.
Also, North Korea is developing nuclear weapons. This could lead to an escalation of tensions, given that the US military believes that nuclear attacks constitute acts of war.
This is news? I'm no expert but it seems this is an obvious* prerequisite for adequate translation software. And lots of people are working on that.
*50 years ago this maybe wasn't obvious. At some time it became obvious: not so recently as the last decade.
On my Mac, 8.1-point Helvitica is more readable, has more leading, and takes up only a tiny bit more space.
With a tweak to your system prefs*, 7-point Helvitica takes up about 2/3 the space and is equally readable.
*Go to System Preferences > Appearance > Turn off text smoothing..., and change the setting to 4.
I don't want this. Why should I have to expose an open port to download something? And opening an outside port is not even possible for a lot of people.
What about inserting individual genes (from humans) into animals to see how they work? Isn't a lot of research done that way? Example in today's news: http://www.physorg.com/news194796686.html

Will nobody point out that all the posters saying "I lived through my childhood" are a self-selecting group?

Unlike your party?
How about improving the frame rate, for a change?

Come on guys, that joke was old decades ago, and it was juvenile even when it was new. Give it a break.

Most users are non-technical. This is an old issue and it's not excusable that the application didn't give a warning.

I don't see much use of Java on the desktop these days (aside from a few specific applications)
For end-users maybe not, for developers a lot of tools are Java, with IDEs at the top of the list. Say goodbye to Eclipse on Mac??

Hasn't worked for me even once. Anyone want to help me start a class action law suit? (Female replies only, please.)
The summary should have said U+00A1 (decimal 161).
What makes it special is the higher likelihood of accidentally giving offense.

The faster the roads are, the farther people are willing to drive. So an increase in driving counteracts the hoped-for savings to some extent.
See various papers on "time travel budget".
