Almost any absurdity can be imposed by labelling it "health & safety" or "security" (or the tr*mp card "national security") at the behest of lawyers and authoritarians.
Take the phone off the plane. Send it away for analysis. Interview the owner. That's all.
What would happen if someone lit a cigarette on a plane? It was going to be rhetorical but I had a quick look:
"On February 3, 2013, a family of four were accused of smoking during a Sunwing Airlines flight from Halifax to the Dominican Republic. They caused the flight to make an emergency landing at Bermuda L.F. Wade International Airport."
Note how Wikipedia says they caused an emergency landing.
So... how exactly does the average perp (who isn't exactly a cyberpunk hacker-type dude) actually know if there was or wasn't a camera present? Probably wouldn't.
Critically, researchers say these behaviour changes rely on cameras recording entire encounters, and officers issuing an early warning that the camera is on â" reminding all parties that the âdigital witnessâ(TM) is in play right from the start, and triggering the observer effect.
Was wondering why Trump didn't pick Shkreli as his running-mate - they seem so alike. If Fox News and 4chan ever had humanoid offspring, Martin Shkreli could well be the result.
If they ever become cheap enough to be put everywhere, then put them on the ground for people to walk or drive over but until then efficiency, longevity and cost argue against it.
If there is a role for this type with LEDs and in a pedestrian area, they should add touch sensors so they light up when people walk or dance on them or when raindrops or leaves or small birds land. Would be cool, or maybe annoying but I'd like to see it.
"if the USA wasn't here, the world would still be in the dark ages"
Before the USA existed, we had these things in Europe called The Renaissance and The Enlightenment, then while you were playing Cowboys and Injuns we started The Industrial Revolution.
I never want to risk that kind of thing on/. and usually forget when I paste stuff from outside with outré characters like quotes (there's no preview on Android). Seriously, how hard is it for/. to fix this?
They also talk about censorship. There's no freedom when websites must be licensed by the government or the site is blocked or reporters are prosecuted under vague all-encompassing laws.
This isn't being promoted as a serious response to air pollution. It was originally reported as being an art installation (it's in Beijing's Art district) though that may have been a ruse: it's more a piece of environmental activism. The very direct translation of air pollution to a bag of (probably carcinogenic) soot from such a tiny area illustrates the problem far better than quantitative measurements like the current reading from the US embassy in Beijing of "227".
"Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?"
Director Clapper responded "No, sir."
Wasn't that because he had a special, secret definition of the verb "collect" which became "have one of our agents read" in NSA World?
So it was only a Bill Clinton sort of lie, just redefine common words but only in your head, the sort of thing politicians and bad lawyers do every day.
"This is the last time you'll damage the body image of a poor feeble pig, you little racist." "It wasn't me. No Miss Piggy, no!" "Hai-Yah!" "You have rendered me helpless, Miss Piggy. What are you doing with that pan? Please not the legs, not sauteed, aaaarrrgh!!!"
Just like you might have asked 20 years ago, "What kind of homes need to be connected to the internet?", come back in 10 years for your answer. Until then, pick a Thing, wire it up and see if it catches on.
"It's not like he can do more damage than Bush 2 did."
Fingers crossed, eh? I understand the disgust over the corruption of the party machines and their preferred candidates supporting whoever pays them to prop up whatever's broken about the US but hoping for a Trump presidency to fix it seems to me to be very risky.
What disasters would have to happen for the American people to tear it all down and build something better (assuming that the Orange Godzilla had left anything standing)? It's possible that a Trump presidency could bring more honesty, fairness or prosperity to the US or that he could be guided in a useful direction or that his apparent huuuuuge faults are all a carefully-controlled act but I wouldn't put money on any of them.
Both candidates are very far from ideal and have a distant relationship with whatever passes for the truth in this post-factual world but considering what a stranger he also is to logic, reason and intellect, I'm surprised at the amount of support he gets on Slashdot.
He did include the part where he clamps the iPhone between the serrated metal jaws of a machinist's vice, "If it starts doing this, guys it's perfectly normal".
Yes, Amazon's search results are often polluted by other items because the search terms are just advisory:
"You're looking for a 7200z? How about a BTX666? Go on, buy it, they're both laptops."
I too conclude that Amazon do it purposely to promote their interests but it's their loss because I often give up and buy from somewhere where I can actually find what I'm looking for. It's a joy to find a site with a good search and indexing; conversely on one with a bad search, as with Amazon, I'm more likely to give up and buy elsewhere. eBay has very good search and sort, though you're at the mercy of the sellers' descriptions but that's just a bit of extra diligence.
It applies to other sites too, say looking for a document or a driver. Intel's site is good. Google's search is a fairly easy standard which isn't often met: phrases, exclusions, dates (the last is why I rarely use Bing).

"Out of an excess of caution".

Yeah but you still made Pope. Or is Pope your first name?

The University of Cambridge press release (read that instead of the Techcrunch report) says:

What is this nonsense? Was she supposed to have put them in an envelope and mail them back?
It's past time for legislators and lawyers to get a technical clue. How can they provide justice when they don't know what they're talking about?

Trump says we don't know it's the Russians, and he knows about the cyber.
Does that help?
Now we got the FCC and the press making a fuss. Quick, think up some reasons why we have to charge $200 for WiFi.

That's equality. Women can now be as dumb as men. SJW win.

Is there anything in it about cups of tea? Very important that robots know about tea.
If it's any help, there is a British Standard Cup of Tea but like this one, they want silly money for a copy.
Yes, they bribed the police to arrest it.
