Many children are smarter than their parents. Sometimes it's by design. Parents will give their children better learning tools and opportunities than they had.
Perhaps. The was an article awhile ago in the Wall Street Journal, that basically said companies should fire the worst 10% of their customers because those customers will disproportionally use their time and resources.
You need to balance the needs of you audience with the needs of you advertisers. If one advertiser chases away most of the readers that all the other advertisers are trying to connect with, you would be better off refusing their business.
So the new system would transmit using the same AM technology, but after the controller/pilot releases the mic key, it would transmit an digital signature. If the signature wasn't correct, the receiver would light an alert light.
Anyway, I agree that the amount of damage that's been caused by pranksters doesn't justify the cost of a new system. Just make sure the FAA & FCC are on the ball when there is a prankster, and we'll be just as safe.
Aug. 21--A former Spokane Valley car dealer, who now sells used cars in Post Falls, avoided a likely prison term and a substantial fine by helping investigators unravel an international odometer rollback case.
Instead of low-mileage bargains, more than 135 buyers were stuck with high-mileage Canadian imports with altered mileage gauges.
For his part in the conspiracy, Richard "Rick" Shafer got no prison time Thursday, but must complete six months of home detention when he's not at work and repay a Spokane credit union $172,792.
There's another where a dealer got 10 months.
Anyway, last time I sold a car (In Indiana), when you sold the car there was a checkmark on the form where you could say that the odometer was not correct. (I knew it wasn't because it rolled around past 00000) Modifying your own odometer was perfectly legal, as was paying someone to do it, as long as you didn't sell the car as having that mileage.
Modifying game consoles isn't fraud, unless you don't tell a future buyer that it's been modded.
They say it's a circumvention device, but like the Sony Betamax case, if he can show that there are significant, non-infringing uses of a modded console, he could win. (If he has the resources to fight)
The truth is apparently easier for a person to relate than a lie is.
Memories are easier for a person to relate than is made up stuff. That's part of the problem with eyewitnesses. After an event, their brain fills in the blanks of their memory, making a coherent narrative.
There was a long term study done where they asked people right after the challenger explosion, where they were. Then, years later, they asked about the same thing and compared results. Some people had completely different stories, or the details wrong, but they swore they knew what they had been doing.
If a defendant can convince himself that a story is true, no lie detector will be able to tell. There are drugs that are used in the treatment of PTSD that keep traumatic memories from being fixed in the brain. I could see someone taking one of these, doing a crime, then rehearsing over and over the alternate history. After the drugs wore off, the alternate history could become the truth in the defendant's brain.
Hammacher and Schlemmer still sells a manual typewriter, so I assume someone makes it for them.

It's an Olivetti.
However, on this page it says: "Due to the popularity of this item, we are unexpectedly sold out."
This would be great in that it keeps you alive in the immediate future, but there's no way it could fix all the subtle DNA damage that could give you cancer later. Also, women have all the eggs they'll ever have, and any damage to them would be permanent.
They should be able to buy the games back themselves, destroy them, and only sell used. Since they're going to get the new cost for every game they buy back, they should be able to outbid Gamestop and others who have to sell the game used.
Wait, you say, Gamestop is taking a risk that nobody will buy the game that they have bought used. Well, that's the way of the world, rewards might go to those that take risk.
If they would buy back their games, they would be able trash it, and sell only new games. They could pay more that gamestop would be able to, since they are going to sell the game at the new game price.
Back in the day, people would dumpster dive for printouts of other student's code. So yes, if someone happened across a flash drive with completed homework on it, they might try to use or sell the information.
That's why on "Star Trek" they had automatic doors. If one part of the ship loses pressure, the doors keep the rest of the atmosphere in. That, and they are cool.
Yep. One of the reasons that the moon always keeps the same face towards us. If it were complete uniform, it would probably be spinning out of sync with the Earth.
They want a clear case record, but there's always some random chance involved in law. What if they lose? (Aren't all lawyers, as officers of the court, required to try to win their case?

I know people who wrote, acted and filmed their own movies on Super 8, back when "Star Wars" was first in theaters. It wasn't possible for an amateur at the time to produce anything close to what a professional could produce, but they did it anyway. I don't know how you would go about instilling the desire to build your own, they just had that desire to begin with.
I would like to think that US troops would hopefully be above that

And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Except, Comcast's manager will review Time Warner's proposal. Time Warner's CEO's wife will review Rupert's proposal, and the 2nd Cousin will review Comcast's proposal.
Either they all will be rejected, or rubberstamped approved. If they talk among themselves, the gov. will go all Martha Stewart on them.
No, it will only show those pages that have paid to be listed as what you want to see. (at least after an initial trial run)
This could easily be done in the browser in a non-evil way. When you type in a name and get a non-response, similar names typed after would be recorded. Then, when you make the same spelling error, gooogle.com, it takes you to where you want to go. Since it's in the browser, people could edit and share their commonly misspelled domain names.
Now, if only voice reproduction and voice morphing technology was moving at the same pace as video.
I've always wondered about that. Sound recording is so much easier than video, you'd think that bringing a dead actor's voice back to life would be a piece of cake compared to their image, but it's not. I guess that's just and example of some things that are a lot harder than they seem at first. (Like predicting the weather)

Requesting the source code worked in one breathalyzer case.

Sell them on eBay. Hammacher and Schlemmer still sells manual typewriters, so I imagine someone will buy them. Have they been properly stored?

So why don't the publishers buy the game back from the kid for $10, put Gamestop out of business, and sell only new games at full price?

The identity manger also allows you to log into sensitive sites without worrying about keystroke loggers.
If there is a hardware keystroke manager on a machine that you plug the ironkey into, or even a USB data monitor, your IronKey password is their's.
If a machine is compromised, and you plug this into that machine, your data is compromised as soon as you unlock it.
