I'm suspicious of an advocate chosen by the court. Fox guarding the henhouse?
I'm suspicious of an advocate chosen by anyone connected to the US Federal government. However, I agree that one chosen by the court itself would be particularly bad.
I refused to "upgrade" to Android 4.4 because Google blocked access to the app ops settings... It's interesting to hear that I dodged a bullet on Maps too.
At that point, wouldn't it be easier to just design the building as a Faraday cage (which would not be much more complicated than constructing a "normal" stucco/metal roof building)?
EVERYBODY wants cheap energy, INCLUDING ENVIRONMENTALISTS!
The only difference is that environmentalists want cheap energy including externalities, and in the long run while others only consider what is cheapest now and in the immediate future.
The main SoC controls the baseband processor (and can firewall the rest of the system off from it), not the other way around. Or better yet, the baseband is Open Source.
The Social Liberals are right about specific things such as that some people need subsidies, but the Fiscal Conservatives are right about things in general such as that taxation and spending is well beyond beneficial amounts.
I think you mean that Fiscal Liberals are the ones who want subsidies. Social Liberals are the ones who like civil rights (except, weirdly, the right to bear arms).
Notice that I did not say Democrats nor did I say Republicans
The biggest problem facing this country is that it's impossible to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal (or vice-versa, although I personally think that case is much less common) and have elected representation.
So we learn that the "executive pay" argument is silly (less than $100/year/worker) and we also learn that the Waltons riches don't even come out of company revenue, so whats the real problem? The real problem is that some people are fashionably jealous of people that have more than they do.
The real real problem is that we're creating a "new feudalism" where the gentry owns corporations instead of land. Concentrating that much wealth and power among such a small group of people destabilizes society and government.
It's basically Tivo, in the cloud. I could put a Tivo box in my house, hooked up to my antenna, and play Tivo $13/mo and watch/time-shift broadcast TV. Or, I can pay Aereo $8/mo for their DVR in the cloud, and do the same exact thing.
Or build a MythTV or Windows Media Center box, and pay nobody $0/mo.
My guess would be that the net number of viewers of OTA television drop as a result of Aereo
Every Aereo subscriber is a viewer of OTA television! The only difference between somebody using a HDHomeRun at home and somebody subscribing to Aereo is that the wire between the tuner and the TV is longer.
Aereo probably brings in plenty of rural customers who wouldn't get NBC/CBS/ABC/FOX
If I understand correctly, Aereo doesn't let you sign up unless you're in an area where you could already receive the broadcast. (Also, since when did rural customers have internet fast enough to stream video?!)
It's a clever idea, a cool service, an interesting business model, and part of why I'm torn about them.
It's a clever legal hack, but it's not that exciting. It's a service for people who prefer to rent an antenna, tuner and DVR instead of buying and installing one themselves, that's all.
On the contrary; one of my cars is a compact VW TDI that I fuel with 100% carbon-neutral biodiesel. Conveniently, diesels from 2006 and earlier are better able to use biodiesel than newer ones!
No system is perfect. Folks who use their vehicles off-highway can file for an exemption, just like they do now. Odometer fraud is already illegal, so just step up enforcement.
Like what, other than a used car? Pretty much all automakers use the same small group of OEMs: Bosch, Delphi, etc. Once these "phone home" systems start to get really integrated -- where the transceivers are built into the same circuit board as the fuel/spark/timing control, instead of merely being attached to the same CAN-BUS -- there won't be any way to avoid it because they'll show up in all the brands at once.
Bull. They want the data because others (three-letter organizations) want it and secretly lobbied for it. They don't want the consumers to fully realize this.
This data is also exactly the reason why there seems to be a major push towards taxing driving based on miles - with GPS tracking, obviously.
Personally, I'm going to take a page from Cuba and continue driving and maintaining old cars. I'm not sure what year the real cutoff should be, but (conservatively) most cars built before 2000 should be safe. (It might be possible to get something as new as 2005 or so, but would require research to make sure. Remember, even if the car doesn't have something obviously intrusive like OnStar or Sync, it may still have a "black box.")

You misspelled OpenStreetMap.
Not if it throws away the key and prompts you to re-enter it every time it wakes back up.

What is the unit for ERP? Wyatts?

Or maybe if they wanted to be really sneaky it would look like capacitor failure...

You forgot the most important feature:

It just goes to prove the old adage: those who do not understand the CLI are doomed to reinvent it, badly.
They'd have to make like UHF and create their own TV shows?
Or build a MythTV or Windows Media Center box, and pay nobody $0/mo.
There are not four broadcast networks; there are five. You forgot PBS (which I, for one, watch more often than I do the other networks combined).

Multiple widescreen displays are great for vertical space! Get three of them and mount them in portrait orientation.

Inkjet printer ink?
Be prepared to rip out the entire electrical system and install stand-alone engine management...
Yep. And contrary to what anybody will admit, it is perfectly possible to implement a vehicle-miles-traveled-tax without GPS tracking everybody:
