If you're not using engine breaking for most of your deceleration, then you're either typically driving in a computer game situation (motorway with small children that run across the road every 5 minutes)
Parking lots and school zones are known for this sort of needing to come to a complete stop.
or you're not a very good driver and are spending a lot more on fuel than you need to.
Is everybody driving a gasoline vehicle with an automatic transmission automatically "not a very good driver"?
That said, the number of people around here who accelerate towards traffic lights and then brake hard because, surprise surprise, it's still red when they get there is astonishing.
A signaled crosswalk allows predicting a change from green to yellow ten seconds in advance, which gives adequate time to regeneratively brake most of the way to a stop. Some intersections have a signaled crosswalk, but not all.
Not everybody has the money to (lawfully) subscribe to all closed-access journals in which "actual published scientific papers" appear, nor the opportunity to take time off work to visit a subscribing library during regular hours.
What in the Constitution grants the FTC the power to demand this information?
The fact that phones are manufactured in East Asia and sold across state lines for use on networks that communicate across state lines. There's your "commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states" that the Constitution grants the Congress "power [...] to regulate". And the Congress has chosen to exercise this power by creating the FTC and FCC.
Sometimes it's hard not to play said "game of 'is it open source enough?'". One cases of this happens when a distributor gets cease and desist notices from patent holders, which I imagine would be especially relevant to FFmpeg or the codecs of TFA.
True, Apple doesn't own MPEG-4. Other AAC decoders can play any musical recording purchased from iTunes Store since Apple phased out FairPlay DRM 2009. But Apple is an MPEG-4 fanboy for a couple reasons. It's part of the patent pool because the MPEG-4 container is QuickTime, and since version 5 back in 2001, QuickTime has included "Sorenson Video 3" (SVQ3) based on an early draft of what became AVC. And in a sense, the implementation of AAC in QuickTime and iTunes is an "Apple proprietary codec" because the encoder and decoder are proprietary software whose copyright is owned by Apple Inc., even though encoded files are playable elsewhere. Perhaps by calling Apple stuff "proprietary", people are just expressing their bitterness that OS X and iOS ship without support for royalty-free containers, such as Ogg or Matroska, or royalty-free codecs, such as Vorbis, Opus, VP8, or VP9.
My own (huge) institution has banned Dropbox entirely. Instead, a subscription to Box Sync was purchased for everyone.
Dropbox has a client for GNU/Linux OS; Box appears not to because of low demand. Did the price of this "subscription to Box Sync" include a subscription to Windows for Linux users to run in a VM? Or how well does the Box client for Windows work in Wine? Or are you using an unofficial client?
First, renting allows a landlord to evict you for reasons other than failure to pay rent.
Firstly, who was talking about real estate? Not me
Nor I. I was making a more general analogy for termination of a service even though your subscription is paid up. For example, several PlaysForSure music stores closed their doors and shut down their DRM authorization servers.
The closest traditional mathematical model to a physical computer is a linear bounded automaton (LBA), which is a Turing machine unable to move the head outside an area proportional to input size. It recognizes context-sensitive languages.
If we're talking about music, it's not an "Apple proprietary codec" at all, it's AAC.
MP3, AAC, AVC, and HEVC are proprietary in that they have a proprietor, or patent holder, that requires distributors of encoder software to sign a royalty-bearing patent license. Vorbis, Opus, VP8, and VP9 are non-proprietary in the sense that they are documented and royalty-free.
You can stream a game in HD with as little as 5mbit down
Or 5 Mbps * 3600 sec/hr / 8 bits/byte / 1000 GB/MB = 2.25 GB per hour against your monthly cap. It's fine for fiber or cable subscribers, whose cap is typically in the hundreds of GB/mo, not so fine for home LTE and home WiMAX which are usually more harshly capped.
The point of ACME, the protocol used by Let's Encrypt, is that you can script the acquisition of a certificate for each domain on which you spin up a virtual server. If you also script association of the acquired certificate with each virtual server, there's very little ongoing labor.
Technically, a source file. Legally, the source file, because the person who applies LibreJS markup makes a representation that the program behind the given URL is corresponding source code. This representation may be weaker or stronger depending on the program's license. It's strongest for a script under a copyleft license such as GPLv3, or example, but even permissive licenses such as the zlib license require all alterations to be disclosed. A misrepresentation in this respect is evidence against license compliance on the part of the site operator.
Someone paranoid about this could in theory choose to run the source file instead of the minified file.
The user would choose to run the modified source code. Or do you claim that a user cannot be trusted to evaluate source code that will run on his machine?
The idea of disallowing back damages but allowing subsequent damages is that an alleged infringer could discontinue the infringing product upon receiving notice of infringement and resume sales once a design-around has been implemented.

The commerce clause, as explained in a reply to AC's comment.

carriers restrict what updates are made available to customers on their network.
So what blocks updates for Wi-Fi tablets? My carrier is Xfinity or Chick-Fi or Wendynet.
The statutory damages for the method I think you're talking about can buy a lot of cable.
I prefer "Un(usabil)ity".
By "short scripts" do you mean in sh or Python? Both are available on OS X, PowerShell is included on Windows, and Python can be installed on Windows.

There are two choices: Either avoiding spoilers is worth the price of all the other programming tied to Game of Thrones to you, or it isn't.
Imagine what TV watchers had to do to avoid spoilers by book readers (prior to the present season when it reportedly overtook the source material).

The books spoil most of the plot points anyway.

I don't want to subscribe to HBO. I want to subscribe the Game of Thrones.
You can do that by buying each season's DVD or BD set as it comes out.
In theory, you could find an employer in the United States to sponsor your work visa.
