Why don't we just shove all the ash and coke into old coal mines? If it's going to make it's way into our oil and water supplies from there, then it was going to do so naturally anyways.
Holy crap, this was considered a trivial homework problem when I was learning Pascal in high school.... Are you seriously saying a group of college graduates considered this a hard problem?
If you RTFA, the $300 is the Philadelphia business privelege tax, so she's not being forced to pay for blogging, she's being forced to pay for blogging for money. Which is perhaps ridiculous, but no less ridiculous than it is for any other person in the city who has to pay it.
At present, US companies can be held legally responsible for employees being made uncomfortable, even if the things making them uncomfortable were not specifically directed at the employee and even if the company was not aware of it. But that together with this and the company is in a Catch-22, where it's legally responsible for the content of e-mails that it's not allowed to look at.
Ambulance companies often offer "subscriptions" that allow you to avoid these bills. In the case of my local company, it's something like $50/year. So to turn it around... you never bothered to get involved with your local emergency services until YOU needed help, and now you want to whine because you expect all of your neighbors to pick up the tab?
Isn't this just the RIAA advocating for Net Neutrality? If we accept the argument that the government should police service providers to make sure all content providers, doesn't that entail decisions like this? After all, FM radio stations are content providers that at present recieve a significantly lower level of service from wireless companies vs content providers who use things like WiFi or GSM.
Contrary to common belief, science is not the process of gathering a large number of scientists into a room and having them vote on what the truth is. What makes a scientific argument compelling is the strength of the evidence presented, not the number of experts convinced by it.
Which is why stories like this always bug me; little time is spent discussing the evidence presented in the report which would actually useful information. Instead we're presented with a laundry list of people talking about how great the report is and how no one could possibly question it, expecting us to be swayed by appeal to authority alone.
When reading long passages of text on a computer, I tend to mouse-select the paragraph or so I'm currently in to avoid losing my place on the screen if I have to look away. I imagine if someone were tracking this behavior it would provide insight as to how much time I spent focussing on a particular passge.
Hole 196 lends itself to man-in-the-middle-style exploits, whereby an internal, authorized Wi-Fi user can decrypt, over the air, the private data of others, inject malicious traffic into the network, and compromise other authorized devices using open source software, according to AirTight
Wouldn't it be easier for said malicious insider to just give the man-in-the-middle the PSK?
Sounds like 'open source' is becoming like the word 'organic', where people hoping to sound cool just jam it in to phrases randomly whether it makes sense or not.
This ruling puts Third Party voters at a huge disadvantage. Republicans and Democrats, whose candidates are automatically included in the general election, are free to vote for their party without ever having to publicly reveal their allegiance. Third parties, on the other hand, have to do annual petition drives to maintain their access, so if you want to vote Green or Libertarian, now you will only be able to do so if you're willing to publically declare that.
Most of all is people who don't oversimplify things by anthromorphicizing everything. The health care system isn't a person, it doesn't want or need anything. The people who make it up, on the other hand, are a very diverse group who have diverse and often conflicting needs and desires. If I'm a patient, cheaper healthcare is probably much more important to me than if I'm a doctor. We need to start taking into account the reality that there's no reform that isn't going to make some better off and others worse off.
1. California is one of the wealthiest states in the country.
2. California voters overwhelmingly support highly progressive tax systems and redistributive government spending.
For some reason they can't figure out that #1 and #2 lead to
3. California pays in far more than it gets out.
Conway's Game of Life isn't particularly interesting. It would have died out if it weren't for the far better sequel. Of course, Conway's Game of Life 3 is the one that really got everyone playing. Then the lousy Conway's Game of Life 4 came out and killed off the whole series.
This is just to put the camel's nose inside the tent. Once the internet is firmly established as being within the FCC's domain of responsibility, it will follow up with content controls.
The FCC is, first and foremost, the government's censor. Whatever your view on net neutrality, choosing the FCC to implement it is penny wise, pound foolish.
List of former TV stations with channel numbers above 69:

Note that some of them were quite large, such as KGIN in Nebraska which has a transmitter on channel 70 in Gothenburg that transmitted more than 11 thousand watts.
Funny the bees had no problems back in the 70s when the GSM band was UHF television channels 70-83. Because you'd think that if little 3-5 watt transmitters are killing the bees, then high power broadcast antennas would have had some noticeable effect.
Prior to being used for GSM cellphone service, the 800 - 900MHz frequency band was UHF television channels 70-83. So to accept this theory you have to believe bees are affected by the low power transmitters in cellphones but had no problem with massive high power antennas broadcasting in the exact same frequency back in the 70s.

Arrest as many people as possible until nearly everyone is forced to wear one of these. Given estimates that the average person unknowingly commits several technical federal crimes a day, it shouldn't be long.

And how exactly are we going to enforce that? Build giant walls around every mountain in the country?

Just wait until the send the mid-Atlantic ridge a C&D. That whole continental drift thing is a major infringement on this patent!
Uh... Archie Bunker did have black blood in him...

Anyone who had time to find more interesting friends flunked out of engineering in college.

On the other end, an "I'm Sorry" button would also be useful.

So this city has a literal real estate bubble?
