So that would be ankles, elbows, hair, eyes and simply the presence of females no matter how covered. Also this could be extended to any representation of the human form.
The definitions are not complete enough. The pharase "which is harmful to minors and adult males" opens it right up. And why were adult females not included? That makes the request itself sexist. The definitions need to be much more specific to be applicable. Keep in mind monty python sketches discussing simply "areas".
Representations that are "harmful" are fully open to cultural interpretation. And given personal freedoms you can't manage to adjust to the cultural interpretations of a population?
Remove the battery. Your device is now configured in safe mode. Unless you are disturbed by a black screen the device is now configured not to present offensive material.

These free roaming autonmous world exploring robots are out in the wild and not confined to protected lab space. The potential for crashing into sensitive reefs, fouling nets, bumping ships or people, all across national and international ocean space, seems to carry a liability issue that is hightened by the uncontrolled nature of the robot.
What liability issues are considered when releasing a robot and are there any control systems in place to avoid accidents that might lead to liability issues.
If they were not MS with a huge pile of cash Xbox would have been a failure. The initial hardware failure rate on shipped product was staggering. A lesser company would have been destroyed by that.
Xbox should have been a hard lesson that MS management did not know anything about shipping physical units instead of software. Instead they learned "hardware reliabilty is important". They did not learn the marketing and usability stuff that Apple has hands down.
Microsoft is so big it can bull through mistakes which lead to the Windows 8 "issue". Which is about 3 or more problems all in one.
Men are men. Our attention is drawn to curves. We can act respectful, but can't deny biology.
"But Michael says one booth with babes was one more than last year"
If everyone has booth babes then the incremental effect of one company adding booth babes is about ZERO. You can be at booth A and still see B, C, D, E.... If no one has booth babes then the incremental effect of one company adding booth babes is significant.
No unconstitutional act should be passed by a government. Proper research and legal opinion should be required before passing any act. That said, to enforce this and require proper research and study any act found to be unconsitutional should make those who supported the acts passing legally and fiscally responsible for any consequences of the act.
I do IC design. Logical Equivalency Checking is well worn tool. You can futz about with the logic in a lot of different ways. LEC means we can do all sorts of optimization and still guarantee equivalent function. We can even move logic from cycle to cycle and have it checked that things are logically equivalent.
You run two compilers on the same source code you won't get the same code. You run two different versions of the compiler on the same code you wont' get the same code. You run the same compiler with different options you won't get the same code. They should however all be logically equivalent.
I am still waiting for the wifi kills seeds follow up. Seems like that should have taken about 3 days for a proper lab to replicate. Heck every 4th grader in america (and their parents) should be working on replicating it. (Think of the lawsuits possible) .

You are pushing calculus as advanced math. What about Galois field theory? You are not even at the advanced stuff yet.
Proper algorithm design is not cook-book stuff, which is why it is Computer Science, not Applied Programming. You will likely do well at Applied Programming. The higher order math is for those that will go into the Science part of the programming. Understanding the difference between the Science and the Application is important.
The most important thing is to know your limits and when you should go looking for help to solve something.
Lets look at some extra smart features a) RF signal to disable the gun around schools, malls and movie theatres b) ID + location beacon that is transmitted for 1 hour after any firing c) write only GPS time and location log of all firings. Anything within 5 minuts and 50m is logged as single event with total rounds fired count d) Friend of Foe ping with identification. e) remote disable using secure key, this must be active on all privately owned guns f) ability to turn off features (a,b,d,e), but the gun will transmit its ID and the fact it has had the features turned off for 8 hours. Turning off the disable takes effect after 4 hours of applying during those 4 hours the gun will begin transmitting the id. It is legal to test the disable feature at licensed locations, usually police stations and gun ranges. It is illegal to have d,e disabled without a very special license.

Example#1 This governments plan is to "solve crime" with a "hard on crime" agenda that is being acknowledged in Texas as not being the correct solution. The government also claims to be fiscally responsible.
So if you claim to be fiscally responsible yet want to setup and plan that is expensive and has been proven not to work you must deny the science.
The Harper Government has many many plans that ran counter to science. They slashed the census program which gathered data that was used for planning by all levels of govenment. Why they claimed it was because people complained, on file about 2 complaints in 15 years. Really it was if you want to throw money at pet projects you don't have to validate it against actual facts if the facts don't exists.
So yes this is a deliberate attack on science and it is required because they want to "govern from the gut". In Canada our Government is Psychotic, and the general question is why have people lost faith in government? Well is because the government operates on faith and not facts.
The question is not how will people "do nothing", the question is how will people get paid for "doing nothing".
There will be a small percentage of people who do actual physical work. There will be a small percentage of people who do mental work. Those people will be paid well.
What about the rest? McDonalds/Starbucks will be fully robotic.
The patent office should have to pay the legal fees of the winning side every time a patent is defeated in court.
The patent office are the gate keepers. They are currently enabling all the patent shakedowns.
For proper control every system needs proper negative feedback. If the patent office gets money for granting patents and does not lose money for granting bogus patents they are going to grant everything under the sun to encourage more applications and more incoming money. Only by penalizing the patent office for improper patent granting will there be a proper measure of control.
ATMs themselves were not compromised. The authentication system for debit cards was. Sure the money came from ATMs but the authentication that came from it was the backend systems.
It was the backend banking system that was compromised, not ATMs. The ATMs worked perfectly and gave out cash only to authorized cards. There was no problem with the ATMs.
The level of basic science/math illiteracy never ceases to amaze me.

Don't Pass Unconstitutional Acts
Both the Left and the Right should support that.

Wood is a form of biofuel.

Does "biofuel" still seem like a mysterious magical term.
Nice and clear message. Thanks for making it clear up front.
We will let you know how it works out.

How much better are bikes?
https://www.eta.co.uk/2011/12/13/co2-emissions-from-cycling-revealed/
According to the report cycling is responsible for CO2 emissions of 21g per km. The report calculated that an average car produced 271g and a bus 101g.
