How much do you think the military industrial complex can make the government spend on creating TSA-endorsed binary probability devices? Clearly they cannot use the same binary probability devices as a common or garden variety security risk might have access to;)
what is wrong with you? this would be a clear violation of the site owner's rights of freedom of speech in the US. the site owner didnt commit any crimes, he simply uploaded a video of it to his own site, which is protected under free speech.
So the United States has no laws prohibiting the posting of child porn or bestiality images? After all, the web site operator didn't rape the child, bugger the sheep, etc. he or she is simply exercising "free speech." Nonetheless, he or she is still accountable to the law for disseminating the child porn because it encourages the producers. Posting a murder video might be notionally legal in the US under purported "freedom of speech" but that does not remove the possibility that the law would take interest.
... and GPS has nothing to do with this. Phones do not require GPS receivers, GPS receivers need not be on and, in any case, a GPS receiver does not transmit your location. An originally military locating system that broadcast your location would be a supremely stupid thing.
Your life was not under threat, the intended victim was only possibly an actual victim, and the person you shot only possibly an actual offender. Society has possibly avoided one crime (a murder), but you have actually shot another person (possibly killed them), will be charged, and society will have to pick up that legal bill as well as the bill for your possible incarceration. If you wait until the possible offender becomes and actual offender, society has the original murder to deal with plus the costs of prosecuting you (although they are less likely to incarcerate you). Not as clear cut as the guns-save-lives mantra would have you believe.
The service has a point, but it is not locating stuff with three word combos. The point is to provide a global geek challenge to reverse engineer the location -> words algorithm, determine the word list, and write a decent haiku/world tour mashup.
The signal they received is the "other radiation" of which you speak. Not all that emits is optically visible, and not all that's optically visible is visible at astronomical distances. For objects beyond or galaxy to be optically visible typically requires the combined, omni-directional optical output of billions of Suns and a dust-free observation path (think Andromeda Galaxy). For immense distances red-shifting ensures optical emissions are shifted out of the optically visible range. A nearby source would be more likely to be seen optically (if it emitted at those wavelengths) and closer to the galactic plane (these are not).
What we're really seeing here is the impatience of the Now Generation. What? You have to wait -thirty minutes- for something to be produced?? OMG!
That is because no-one knows how to make most devices any more. Everything is made by an anonymous team of hundreds or thousands, and you only ever interact with a few of these people. I you don't think about it you could come to the conclusion that everything is trivially simple to construct or produce. It's a result of technology exchange according to Matt Ridley, Matt Ridley: When Ideas Have Sex
It might be per-year in that article but it still makes no sense. "43.5 million kilowatt" is not a measure of energy. So, if the PR drones could marry this article with the one linked in the summary then we might get a sensible set of units and a time period: 43.5 million kilowatt-hours per year.
With anyone that tries to manufacture and market a physical device from said plans. They can start with FUD that the plans were stolen and move on to stitching you up with a patent lawsuit for everything in the chip that's even slightly non-generic. None of it has to be entirely true, just not entirely false (or they will be done for wasting court time). In the meantime you are bled dry financially by legal costs and prospective buyers going elsewhere for fear their derived product will be subject to injunctions.
The majority of engineering programs I have seen in Australian universities include non-technical content in the form of humanities, economics, accounting, and law units. Is this unusual? They are supposed to produce well rounded engineers, but generally demonstrate that square pegs and round holes are only sometimes compatible.
You'd need to allow for +/-12 hours by hour, a range of half-hour options (at least -4.5, -3.5, +3.5, -2.5, +4.5, +5.5 +6.5, +9.5, +10.5), +5.75, +12.75, +13.75, +14 (or negative equivs if the date is not displayed). Failing to get this right will result in the same time pedant complaining again.
Those Japanese-American citizens interred during WWII are not in a position to tell you anything about the Constitution. Those who were interned and survived the experience may have something to say./P.
Could they not simply prosecute him based on just what they have so far?
They could just charge him on the basis of what they can see but they would also lose the intelligence windfall of any data that might be on the other drives. The data they find through legal means in this case may be used in evidence against other parties, e.g. when a drive contains material that links illegal imagery to the source of that imagery. They will not give this up easily.
No, it is merely a typo. It should read, "Commission of Theft of American Intellectual Property", which occurs every time these copyright lobbyists get the US powers to extend copyright on existing works. By delaying existing works entry into the public domain they are "stealing" (their term) the intellectual "property" (again, their term) that rightly belongs to the US populace (i.e. public domain, certainly not their term).
The origin of words is often important, as are regional variations. I am assuming you realise that the Merriam-Webster is the quintessential American English dictionary. A quintessentially English English dictionary does not have the "or a split roll" addition to the definition (see also this one). My Macquarie English Dictionary (Australian English) dictionary reads: "1. two slices of bread (or toast) , plain or buttered, with a layer of meat, fish, cheese, or the like between. 2. something formed by similar combination." The term "Sub", traded so heavily by Subway is a contraction of Submarine sandwich which is claimed to be American in origin (along with quite a few US regional variations). While what Subway sell is a "sandwich" in arrangement that is not the term that much of the English speaking world would use outside of a Subway outlet: that is the point.
In Australia, which has used metric since the 70's, Subway market their products as the Subway 6-Inch(r) and Subway Footlong(r) Sub. They recently came to grief because the Subway Footlong(r) was routinely less than a foot long. Subway initially tried to weasel out of false advertising claims by insisting that neither trademark was descriptive of the product it was applied to: clearly counter to any common-sense interpretation of their advertising.
Few Australians are likely to ask for a Footlong "sandwich", in metric or imperial measure, because that use of the word "sandwich" is an Americanism too far.

there was no effective oversize of these programs.
Actually, I think this programme is demonstrably oversized ;)

QtWebKit does not fly on iOS though because Apple insists you use the system's WebKit library. It is all moving in the right direction though.
Ah, no, it's the muppets at Telstra who clearly don't come from Queensland, Western Australia, or the Northern Territory.
"Oh we've got both kinds, we've got country and western."

OK, so just as those shares vest there's great scope for a bit of dump-n-dump... but no need for Samsung to be involved in that
with whom are they going to litigate?

No, that is a DRM measure and correcting it would constitute a DMCA violation ;)

Ads are content... just ask any advertising agency, magazine/newspaper publisher, or Slashvertisment poster ;)
You have also missed the point

Here is the Queensland equivalent, which is far clearer IMHO: Electrical Safety Act 2002. See Part 1, Section 18 (2)(c) (PDF page 25).
