I get the impression is that the cameras have built in GPS so that they can be more easily deployed. Rather than have to manually clculate the distance bertween cameras, the system can do it automatically. Maybe some of the systems are mobile or temporary.
It's a fair stretch from "using satellites" though.
This is why "software engineering" fails to be taken seriously. How in this day and age an OS can be released without simple checks and balances like input validation is beyond me. The only excuse is "the developer couldnt be bothered, and no-one checked up on him".
Most programmers these days are the equivalent or tradespeople and artisans - sure many of them are very talented, but as a group still lack the formal QA and inherent attention to risk management that any real engineering should have.
An ice cube can cause cellular damage that results in a blister - much like burn. It takes a very cold ice block and a good deal of time though - you have to freeze cells causing them to burst.
Same thing with company passwords. I'm a vendor and have passwords on many customer sites, inevitably they expire sometimes between visits. I can call their helpdesk from anywhere in the world, tell them I've been locked out and they reset it to something trivial.
It's possibly the single easiest way to socially engineer your way into someone's account.
Get a sunvisor mounted bluetooth kit, or a permanent car kit installed. I've used the BlueAnt sunvisor ones many times (my employer gave them out for free) - they were very convenient, quality was good and the batteries lasted alot longer than the headsets.
That's the same argument as "every school shooter played violent video games". I'm pretty sure kids were being abused and people went on shooting rampages long before child porn or video games existed.
There are just some sick fucks in our society that will have a problem with or without support from fictional media. Censoring material that causes no harm is just wasted effort and makes a false sense of security. More money on treatment and support would help more.
There's no way the electricity company is doing this solely for backup power.
A far greater motivation would be that whilst the transmission line is working, they can use it as a battery for their own surplus/deficits and to stabilise the local grid. Stick hundreds of these around and it really paves the way for other non base load generation.
I fear for education system if that's what passes for electrical engineering these days.
Car starter batteries only *start your car*, i.e. high current for a very short time, Regular lead acid cells are permanently degraded by any discharge beyond say 30%. You need special deep cycle batteries for backup power, and they cost ALOT more.
And how is an alternator going to help you? Dont you mean inverter?
With a bit of practice, changing gear becomes part of your subconscious/learned motor systems - you no longer have to exert concentrated thought on doing it. This is a well understood mechanism in the human brain.
Observing the varying conditions of the road and reacting to it will never become automatic though, so splitting your attention between driving and talking will *always* mean you do a worse job of both.
Long Answer - Yes, and half the planet too. That also means they are very unlikely to actually interact with anything they pass through, so the overall risk is very low.
Not as far as I was aware. Combustion is a chemical reation (i.e. based on electron shells/valence) that converts the energy stored in chemical bonds into thermal kinetic energy.
Nuclear fusion/fission gives you new atomic nucleus that weigh less than what you started with - eg 2 hydrogen atoms weigh more than a fused helium atom. That differnce in mass comes is released as energy according to e=mc^2
Whilst I agree that coffee should be brewed/percolated at near boiling, it should not be stored and served at that temperature. It's just crazy - you cant even drink it it's so freaking hot, and is an obvious danger in a drive through situation.
Normally the ceramic cup sucks out a fair bit of heat, but styrofoam is different and McDonalds knew it.
The safety devices on table saws are no good. You cannot use the saw properly with them there, so we all may aswell forget about them. Just treat the saws with the respect and distance they deserve.

Possibly to make deployment simpler and more idiot proof. Also it would allow for temporary or mobile camera installations.

Australia is just about to start this process - the $400+ billion National Broadband Network.
Continuing the off topic TA loving:
The CA (Complete Annihillation) mod for Spring is excellent and well maintained.
Why give them credit? They must have had very shitty standards to allow this bug to exist in the first place, so who's to say there arent more?
Some games are just games, some games contain art, and some games ARE art. Exactly like architecture.
Sorry, it was the SMS client and not the core OS, but the fact that it could still be hacked though injection is bad.

There was no mention of a law suit in the article though....

Airbags were only a problem in the USA, where they had to be powerfull enough to stop an unrestrained adult.
For the rest of the seatbelt wearing world, airbags reduce head trauma and thus save lives.

It's as much "child porn" as horror movies are "snuff films" - i.e. not at all. Fiction makes a big difference.

I know the technique (passive repeater), but I thought the losses were much worse than 3dB, eg closer to 20dB.
It appears that the Girls are employees in about the same way as prostitutes are to their pimp. They get their money by 60% commission plus tips.

The US should have also been excluded by your first criteria. Add most of Asia too as they can be pretty racist.
