Your comments make sense for hand held devices, but most cell phones used for navigation have window mounts, and offer spoken turn by turn guidance. There is no reason one can't select the destination at a stop sign and return it to a window mount or just put it on the seat and listen to the directions.
This judge does over step his authority, and you equally over state your case.
When you actually start digging into cell phone accidents while driving you find the problem is over stated, and over reported. (Police will often list it as a contributing factor if they even see a cell phone in the wrecked vehicle just as they will report a bicyclist as not wearing a helmet after they pull his body out from under the 18 wheeler that ran over him.)
Unless you do this fairly frequently, say every 6 months at a minimum, the picture left for future generations will be muddled at best. Its always interesting how the news changes with the passage of time, and events are seen very differently in just a few weeks.
On 9/11 I used this Adobe's web site mining software that essentially captures every link on every page of a site and builds a large web replicate in pdf form. All the links work within that PDF, and every page on the the site is preserved. I pointed it at all the major news web sites, one large PDF for each, burned them to disk, and still have them today. (Yup, I violated a boat load of copyrights).
Two weeks later I did it again. You would be astounded at the difference. Entire pages are missing, not just unlinked, but even when you look for them by URL that appeared in the first capture, you won't find them in the second. Other news sites kept the old stuff on line, but the links often disappeared from their own web pages so that the only way to find these pages was by following links from some other site.
The point is, that a snapshot of the web does very little good, unless it has some collection. Looking at the archives of a newspaper from June 6 1944, wouldn't give you much of an idea of the Normandy invasion, unless you had subsequent editions from days and months forward. But a web site isn't a newspaper with discrete editions, it is a constantly evolving thing, and archiving it today (or any point in time) is fairly useless, but archiving it daily is largely redundant, (most stories will be the same). You can't tell which stories changed over time based solely on the dates either, so you pretty well have to grab it all.
Why doesn't the Library simply work a deal with the Wayback Machine Internet Archive. They seem to have this problem fairly well thought out. Maybe they plan to do that. I can't tell because the site that wants to archive all of Britain seems slashdotted at the moment.
It seems that libraries are about the only place that can get away with ignoring copyright these days.
The water itself is not radioactive. Particles in the water are. Therefore, distillation is one of the methods that will work. Other methods include RO, Ion Exchange, Activated Carbon filtration. But Water itself is not radio active.
Further, there are already methods of removal, (this is done every day all around the world), and its not particularly a difficult problem, other than the fact that the Fukushima site has an awful lot of water to deal with.
Water can not be radioactive. It's actually an incredibly good radiation insulator and that's exactly why they use it. The problem is the radioactive particulates in it.
Depending on particle size, Reverse Osmosis, Activated Charcoal, and Ion exchange are all somewhat successful, and using all three together does a very good job of removing even very small particles. Distillation also works well.
One of my kids had something like this: not for English, but for physics. The teacher couldn't be bothered to assign and grade proper homework. Instead, he fobbed the kids off onto a web app.
Something like what you described is indeed no more than filling out yet another web page, hoping to win a prize.
That doesn't mean that grading compositions would be the same, since by their very nature they have to accept human language in and assign a grade to it by some hocus pocus. The game becomes figuring out the limits and parameters of said hocus pocus. Allowing them to revise their paper is a way of training them on the dimensions of said hocus pocus, and probably not all that useful to either the student or the system.
I suspect that after a couple hundred thousand compositions are graded, everything looks like plagiarism. And I suspect that is part of the process here.
Try to focus on the discussion at hand. "Admin" in the context of HOME use is a distinction without a difference, and certainly not germane to the problem at hand.
Your home guests need to know how to launch a browser, and that is exactly ALL they need. They don't move in to write a thesis on your couch and bum time on your computer to do it.
Agreed, this constant chasing of crappy video with modern technology is simply amazing to me. (looking at you Instagram).
Its not like the current users have any fond memories of the great 16mm heyday, most of the users grew up in the digital age. Every one of them has a cell phone in their pocket that can do a better job. None of them have any memories of Bolex, and those that do are well over 65 years old.
Have a dedicated Linux boot just for them, and if they give you funny looks tell them too bad.
Once you have Linux, it doesn't have to be dedicated. Just use a Guest Account with permissions to use the browser, and not much else.
The big thing is just get rid of Windows in your home. You have nothing that needs interoperability with your work that can't be handled by Linux. Once you dump Windows, all the bad browsing habits no longer matter.
The problem here is the insistence of keeping Windows for no good reason.
You sit around and wait a few minutes for the goods to be picked out of the small warehouse at the back, and then you leave with your goods. You don't see the box until you've paid for it and left.
Admittedly I've never been to Argos. So its not mail order, right? You go there, look at a catalog or screen, then they HAND IT TO YOU, and you leave WITHOUT checking? Seriously, who does that for something costing this much?
Require VOIP providers to provide proper safeguards or stop operating (and having access) to any of the wired networks? Seems like a fairly simple solution.
Brilliant! This is exactly what the motivation for these alleged attacks is.
Big Phone Providers annual back room meeting:
Lets kill this VOIP thing before it eats all of our monstrous profit margin. Let's see, how can we do that? Oh, I know, lets get the public all enraged about VOIP providers and see if we can regulate them out of business. We will hire a bunch of Kenyans and put them in some basement somewhere and use Voip to attack something to scare the Americans into regulating Voip either out of business or back into our hands. Brilliant. And then we will post the the "Solution" on Slashdot to get the sheeple thinking in the right direction. Good one! More caviar, and another glass of wine all around.
This just like a telephony call after ransomware. Its hard to know their address, they usually are foreign and call via VOIP gateways.
Which suggests that this is but another ploy to induce knee-jerk regulation of the VOIP industry, with the ultimate goal of forcing everyone back to POTS. Geee, who would want to do that, you say? Other than your nanny state Federal Government, and several telephone companies I can't think of anyone.
This is pretty much a non issue, because 911 calls in any area can instantly be re-routed to a different ACTUAL Phone number on the fly, a feature built into the 911 system to handle the possibility that the 911 call center gets overloaded, or hit by a tornado or something. (Just because you dial 911 does not mean there is an actual phone with 911 as its real phone number).
To the extent this DDOS is actually happening at all, (and the whole story doesn't pass the smell test), it seems more a orchestrated trial balloon aimed against private VOIP, asterisk, and the several thousand voip providers steadily dipping into pockets of Big Phone.
Take the two Motorola devices(android). Both were wiped, and neither had much to speak of stored in their built-in memory, just some application data with no personally identifiable fingerprints.
But one user left his micro SD card in the phone. Although the contents of the card were deleted, the card had not been formatted. This, apparently, meant the files were recoverable. And because Android cached application data to this SD card, Reiber could recover e-mail data as well — enough that we could positively identify the phone’s owner via his e-mail address. But the real treasure trove was the photos and documents. The photos still had metadata, including the dates, times and locations in which the photos were shot. And while the documents were benign, if the phone’s owner had stored sensitive information on his phone — think a tax return with a Social Security number, or a.pdf bank statement — we would have had that, too.
So other than USER Stupidity of leaving his SD card in the device he recycled, this once again is an Apple story pinned to a model long out of production dating to a problem long since fixed by Apple.
Not that it changes much, if the police who buy these forensic tools happen to get your phone they pretty much have everything they need to know everything about you. How does "AccessData" get around violations of the DMCA by building tools to circumvent encryption?
Didn't our Patriotic Attorney General claim the right to us Drones to attack Americans on American Soil? Surely they wouldn't have any reservations against hitting some call center off-shore...

Why not just burn the hydrogen and forget the batteries?
Think smaller.
Just leave out the carbon, problem solved.
Hydrogen Plus Air = energy + water. Why go the long way around?
But we don't pay anything for sunlight, and plants are going to grow whether we are involved or not.
So efficiency really doesn't come into play here.
Hydrogen is a more mobile fuel source, and battery technology is still a huge problem.
what does that have to do with setting up a computer in your home for guests to use?
One of my kids had something like this: not for English, but for physics.
The teacher couldn't be bothered to assign and grade proper homework.
Instead, he fobbed the kids off onto a web app.

Seriously, who does that for something costing this much?
Lets see you take that out and destroy it (via remote wipe) after you lost your phone, or when the arresting officer confiscates your phone.
In fact in virtually ANY situation (other than recycling the device) that you would want to wipe your phone you can't wipe the SD card.
So yes, add-in Microsd cards are a security mess, which is why Google no longer recommends them, and Apple never did.
This is news?
The box clearly states what device it is.
The device clearly states what it is.
A consumer that can't/won't read the box probably has no need for a specific model.
All they likely want is web and email and games.
People who know what they want usually read the box at least.
Sorry, am I correct in thinking you are saying you have RIVAL emergency services. Really?!
More likely the Phone companies themselves, who would like nothing more than to kill off independent VOIP providers.
Require VOIP providers to provide proper safeguards or stop operating (and having access) to any of the wired networks?
Seems like a fairly simple solution.

But you miss the point here, and as a result you got it exactly backwards.
The phones all handle wipe of internal storage just fine, but virtually none of the phones wipe microSD cards. MicroSd is a security nightmare.
When you do read TFA you find out this:
Take the two Motorola devices(android). Both were wiped, and neither had much to speak of stored in their built-in memory, just some application data with no personally identifiable fingerprints.
But one user left his micro SD card in the phone. Although the contents of the card were deleted, the card had not been formatted. This, apparently, meant the files were recoverable.

Yeah, but how long till one of the partners run off and patent this new process and start suing everyone in sight? (Remember Rambus?)
Maybe Trying to determine if you are an answering machine or a fax?
Or maybe they are your wife's boyfriend. (Just sayin...)
Didn't our Patriotic Attorney General claim the right to us Drones to attack Americans on American Soil?

Half the robocalls I get have no caller id or bugus caller-id.
Here's a better Idea: If you actually HAVE a non bogus caller-ID, go out and arrest someone!
