What if you killed a guy that was mugging someone else, but due to circumstances you can't tell the police you did it and claim self defense; perhaps you have previous convictions for violent behavior or something to that effect.
Keeping it still on your legs during turns, any game requiring a mouse is pretty much out (generally speaking), and at least the laptops I've ever used were very susceptible to being impossible to use if the sun hit the screen.
Maybe I'm missing the point because I'm just a layman for this, but if NOT using the toxic components makes the batteries cheaper and simpler to produce... why were they using the toxic components in the first place?
Is it not possible that years after these things were made by two different development groups as the GP suggested, these two groups happened to discuss the work they had done, blinked, and realized how those two things worked together. Or given this started back in 2009, there's probably been some turnover, no one in charge knew anymore this was happening and had to be kept secret, and one person was given full access to the code to add a few new snippets - and HE realized what it was actually doing.
Child: "I miss my best friend." (Best friend is away on vacation or something like that) Barbie: "I miss my friend, too." (I don't know much about Barbie, but surely she has some canonical friend-dolls?) "If you invite her over (buy her) she can be your friend, too!"
According to the previous article about this, the cars are still LEGAL, they are just nowhere near as clean as they claim. It's not a "clean" or "dirty" question, all cars are dirty to a certain extent.
How is that any different from the problems with Siri and X-Box One amongst others, constantly listening for and parsing everything that is said in the vicinity of, in this case, your child's toys?
It is more like relying on a lie detector to be telling the truth, actually.
The equivalent of the suspect would be the driver; he has an interest in saying that his car is clean as a whistle.
The car manufacturer is not interested in whether they are screwing over ONE customer by revealing out-of-bounds emissions; they are (or ought to be) interested in not pissing off the government to the point their cars get banned from import/sale.
Seems Volkswagen forgot that for a couple of years, though.
More like Intel recalling to fix the fact that your CPU was claiming to run at X Mhz while...
You know what, let's skip the CPU analogy.
More like your PSU getting recalled because it claimed to be sucking up X amount of power from the grid while actually taking a lot more, increasing your power bill beyond expected levels and - by extension - causing increased pollution from the power plant because more power has to be generated.
Does it matter for one single PSU? No. Does it matter for 500k PSUs? Yes. Same for cars with worse in-use emissions than they admit to when being tested.
I was thinking the same thing. Dropping from 220 MILLION to 200 THOUSAND seems like a pretty good correction. That is quite literally a 99.9% (give or take a tiny amount on the right side of the decimal) correction rate; what are we complaining about?
Worse than that, I recall a similar buffer overflow from the DOS days when entering a... 255 character password, I think, immediately followed by the command you wanted to execute, would get around the password prompt.

It's the "involuntary" part that is wrong.
I was the guy getting bullied. Like HELL the jocks and heavy metal headbangers were going to listen to any kind of delegation I tried to do.
Have all my upvotes!
Gods, how I hated that crap.
If I am going to succeed or fail in school it should NOT be based on the morons the teacher groups me with, but on my own capabilities.
In my memory of my school years, group work inevitably devolved into the rest of the group chatting among themselves while I did the work anyway.

Belt, Colonel or Steve?
I'm engaged, and never cared.
Maybe you should sit down and have a long, hard talk with your fiancee.

I hadn't even considered that.

That's gotta be marketing's wet dream.
If you bring in a cheat sheet for a test in college and you get caught doing that, do you get to keep your A grade?

So is it less or more creepy?

Except in a microscope.
That's kinda what those things are for.
"natively available"
I know Wine Is Not an Emulator, but it does tend to more or less behave as one when you need it to run a game intended for a different platform.
What he did would be more accurately called case modding, I suppose.

So put the car up on the rollers they use for the test to see if it drives straight ahead or veers off to one side?

How do these things keep popping up?
Can't the editors even tell the difference between there, their and they're?
But they ARE sure that it is not a threat.
Now they are charging him with making a HOAX bomb.
He is quite literally being charged with NOT making a bomb and saying that it is NOT a bomb.
Are exposed wires a felony now? Is that the world you WANT to live in?
