It would seem the summary author hasn't been driving on the freeway anywhere in the US for the last 30 years. The normal speed of traffic is 10% over the limit. It is far from limited to the rich.
I cannot believe that you were modded insightful for this.
The problem is your reading comprehension. The point is that, yes, the normal speed is greater than the speed limit and that no-one is going to make a self driving car that will go faster than the speed limit. Hence the likely first buyers will be put off buying self-driving cars because they would then be going slower than everyone else. Those likely first purchasers for self-driving cars are people with money and influence that are likely to use that money and influence to get speed limits raised for self-driving cars, so that they can travel at the same speed or faster than everyone else.
Perhaps you should edify yourself. Read the indictment which asserts that he actively strove to make copyrighted works available
As I tried to point out above, but you chose to ignore, assertions contained in an indictment are not facts. Based on what we have seen in IP-related actions by the FBI, I would not bet 2 cents on the contents of an FBI indictment being objectively true.
Perhaps you would like to buy that bridge I alluded to?
If you read some discussion of real legal analysis, things don't look so rosy for fat old K. Dotcom.
Analysis that is based on snippets of emails included in the indictment and we know that the FBI would never use those snippets out of context or misrepresent the meaning or import of the reported email snippets, don't we?
[if you think that the FBI would not use snippets out of context in order to make a case, then I have a bridge to sell you]
How many of these yahoo accounts were the contact address for a LinkedIn account and used the same password?
One of the people to whom this happened has suffered repeated break-ins to her Yahoo account. After the first compromise, I stressed the importance of not only having a strong password, but making sure that her password was not used elsewhere. So the suggestion that the cause was password re-use fails in at least one case. Also, I am fairly sure that she does not have a LinkedIn account.
Her account had to be compromised somehow. The emails were sent using her credentials. Her Yahoo mailbox was modified to delete all the saved emails and contacts, change the password and forward the email elsewhere. It was not simply someone sending email that looked like it came from her account -- it really was sent using her Yahoo account.
She told me that she only checks her email from her PC, at home. She doesn't use open-Wifi points, she doesn't use other PCs. Unless there was some kind of malware the vaporized itself from her PC after stealing her account credentials, or [contrary to what she told me] she really did use another PC to check here email the limited evidence suggest that her account credentials were stolen by a security flaw at Yahoo.
I see emails from compromised accounts. The one thing that appears to be common is that it is always from Yahoo accounts. After one of my friends had her Yahoo account compromised, I throughly scanned her PC -- nothing showed up. I scanned the hard drive while connected to a known clean PC, so it wasn't just a well hidden malware.
I am beginning to wonder if there is a vulnerability in Yahoo's security that is being used to compromise accounts.
Meant to qualify this as hard copies, i.e. CD's, hand delivered.
While IANAL, I am fairly sure you cannot legally distribute your recording in any form, unless it is covered by some kind of fair use defense and I don't think that giving away CDs of an entire concert would qualify as fair use.
Congress doesn't have the authority to regulate taco stands. Or any other business that never crosses a border.
So Congress cannot regulate what I can grow in my garden? Unfortunately, the Supreme Court disagrees with you on this point. Whatever the Constitution may say, the US Supreme Court has effectively gutted any restrictions on the powers of the Federal Government through a series of decisions, the latest in this line being the decision on Obamacare.
It's hard to imagine that Asus doesn't already have a license for essential wifi patents, they must have sold millions of devices over the last few years that have featured wifi as standard.
It's also hard to imagine that Google doesn't already have a cross-license agreement in place through the Motorola Mobility acquisition. Also, what about the various Nexus phones -- surely they included WiFi?
In America you have the the Republicans, who are the equivalent of our Conservative party, and the Democrats, who are the equivalent of our Conservative party....
This may have been true at one time, but I don't think it is true any more. I think that the issues that separate the Conservatives from Labour are largely orthogonal to the issues that separate the Democrats from the Republicans.
I suspect this is the case. A VPN isn't going to help matters here because the real problem isn't routing, it's bandwidth. I think the OP has his priorities in the wrong order.
Either the submitter has no clue or you have wrongly guessed abut his situation. Consider the comment about being stationed on a ship that is deployed in a country with restrictive Internet policies. If the US Navy were providing the Internet connection that they hoped to used, why would the country's Internet policies be relevant to the question? I assume that there is an Internet connection being provided via a shore-based ISP and it is snooping and restrictions on the use of the shore-based ISP that they would like to bypass using a VPN.
What were you going on about, again? Oh, yeah: Nostalgia. No, they don't make 'em like they used to. Sometimes, they make 'em better.
Citroen GS, built early '70s. Has a separate set of pads in the front calipers that were only operated by the handbrake lever. On the other hand, on that car, the brakes were power operated using the same hydraulic system that operated the suyspension. Lose pressure in the presssure reserve tank and you lose all braking via the pedal (the suspension would also have stopped operating first, and the car would have dropped to the bump stops.)
Have you ever driven down a mountain road, or a mountain pass? Imagine a 10 mile stretch of road all down hill, and then imagine your breaks not working. In that situation your E-Brake is your only hope to live
In what circumstance would the "E-Brake" work if the regular brakes do not? I think all parking brakes on modern cars operate using the regular pads on the rear (there may be some exceptions on supercars and the like). If the pads have overheated and won't provide any braking then operating them through the brake handle/lever instead of the pedals won't make any difference. The chance of the hydraulics failing to the point that the brakes cannot be applied is negligible -- if you think the brakes have failed, you are much better off attempting to pump the brake pedal than trying to operate the parking brake.
Take a look at the manual for your car, you will find that the manufacturer thinks that it is fitted with a parking brake and not an emergency brake.
That would be a valid point if shoplifting were just a harmless passtime. However, since it's a crime why not fine them 100 times the cost of what they stole? It might teach them not to do it again. If they only get fined what they steal that's precisely the same as them paying for it at the checkout but with the added bonus that they might well get away with it.
Except that this is just another shakedown, using the law. From the article:
Typically letters are sent to the alleged thieves, even if they have not been prosecuted, demanding they pay compensation to the retailers, or face being taken to court.
Why not just let the criminal courts deal with this? What they are doing looks like extortion to me.
Wow.. its clear to me that you've never actually gone through the legal immigration process. It is much worse than you paint it out to be. At best, you'll get treating with disrespect, dismisive attitude, rudeness, made to wait entire days in line, etc.. I speak from experience as a US citizen who had to get a visa for his wife.
I have run the whole gamut (H1-B1 -> green card -> citizenship) and I have never had to wait in line for more than an hour or so. In general, the agents have been polite. The worst are at the airport: of those who work in the offices, some are very pleasant to deal with. When administering the english test to me, the agent was even rather apologetic about it (I am British, so the test wasn't much of a challenge).
Now, I do realize that the INS/DHS do treat some people worse than others, so won't dispute what happened to you, and I have friends that have horror stories, so the abuse clearly happens, but it is not universal.
Miles per gallon hasn't changed much in the average family sedan, but 30 years ago the cars were bigger and heavier and used a lot more steel.
Bigger, yes, heavier, no. Modern cars don't creak like those cars of 30 years ago, because much more steel is used to make a stiffer unibody than in the past. The modern mini, while slightly larger than the original mini is almost twice the weight. My 5-passenger car weighs the same as the 7-passenger minivan that it replaced.
There have been a couple of reports that just came out that suggest that SSDs can pay for themselves in many server environments.
Buying some SSDs for our servers has given the best ever return on investment in our IT infrastructure. The traditional hard drives were giving very poor performance because they were always seeking, so going to a drive with zero seek time made a vast difference.

Should have got a patent on the process!

As long as there is a financial penalty involved, the federal government can call it a tax and then it has the power to regulate it.
So Congress cannot regulate what I can grow in my garden? Unfortunately, the Supreme Court disagrees with you on this point.

Whoops, that should have been accused paedophile
This may have been true at one time, but I don't think it is true any more. I think that the issues that separate the Conservatives from Labour are largely orthogonal to the issues that separate the Democrats from the Republicans.
Perhaps he should fight extradition on human rights grounds -- as a paedophile successfully did.

So what, pray tell, are all those people who are against H1-B visas against?
It was an impressive achievement, but I don't know that it counts as "flight". In reality, it is a ground-effect craft.
By what means will they prevent "illegal use of internet phone"? By making it illegal?
