Because it was 4km under water and radio transmission and reception don't work there? You can't get GPS signals and radio beacons don't work there. Even if you could, the batteries won't last the months it took them to get a ROV there to pick it up.
Well, in most countries anyway. Here in the Netherlands, they are mandated by law to keep records for I believe at least 12 months. The sad thing is, those records aren't much better than what's reportedly found on iPhones, but it is used in court cases to "prove" where you've been.
Although you can't say that makes the tracking on the iPhone harmless, I shouldn't trust on wiping or poisoning that database on your device, if you wanted to have an alibi for anything the government wants to accuse you of. They'll simply request (I wish it was a subpoena, but the USA isn't the only country where digital rights are neglected) tower data from your telco if your phone isn't helping them.
they use platinum and iridium metals in the spark plugs that last that long. They tend to cost a bit more. Also, when an engine is still cold, there will be carbon and other waste products building up on the spark plug. The heat grade of the spark plug is quite important to keeping this minimal. Once the engine warms up, the spark plug itself gets so hot, that contaminants will burn off. The big benefit of Iridium over platinum here is, that they can make the Iridium electrodes so thin, that it will heat up in seconds, giving you a better running engine when still cold.
Only the data on the platter where it is pierced will be destroyed. I think that about 90% of bits is still readable on the platter, with proper equipment. I wouldn't trust my countries deepest secrets to this device.
In the UK you have a annual safety test for motor vehicles, called the MOT. No vacuum powered brakes when the car is supposed to have them, is a failure. No vacuum powered brakes and no way to fix them is a tow-away for the AA. If you get in an accident with a car that has broken vacuum powered brakes and you subsequently crash into something, you are liable. How much more clear would you like the term "broken" defined? It doesn't matter that in an emergency case you could still stop the car, by using excessive force on the pedal, it's technically, legally and for insurance purposes considered broken.
It's a tiny cheap camera. It will have a cheap sensor and a cheap lens. It may be better than a 3 year old Nokia N95, but it will still be a bad camera.
They got a rather positive review, as far as Top Gear reviews go. They didn't go to the show room undercover to buy a car, only to demolish it outside of the show room the minute they picked it up. They didn't substitute it with a 20 year old clunker because Tesla refused to give them one for testing and still rate the clunker as it. Every manufacturer knows that Top Gear reviews are never ever fair, balanced or can be bought. Top Gear is never ever serious about it's reviews since the "new" Top Gear. Give your car to Top Gear and they'll make fun of it and trash every aspect about it they can find something negative about.
By the way, no brakes when a fuse blows? I wonder how they got road approval with that? If Toyota did that, they'd be in a lot more trouble than they are now.
All billing data is in the CDR (call data record, duh!) stored at the end of the call. The location records are kept for legal purposes only. Most countries require cell phone providers to do so and in a lot of countries, the police and security agencies can request your whereabouts on a certain day and time without a subpoena. Big brother is watching you, unless you switch off your cell.
These delayed releases for anything, be it games, movies or music, promote piracy. Why wait 3 days (or months in some cases) for something to appear in the store if you can just download it now? The whole control of distribution is no longer there, so any company that wants to make money, should not try and use controlled distribution as a money vehicle. Focus on membership fees for online gameplay, added features, bonus things only available to people with a genuine product key and all that.
1080p is roughly 1/4 of the pixel count of a 2K scanned movie. Big project movies are scanned at 4K for at least some scenes. IMAX uses a 3D domed projection screen to give you close to 180 degrees viewing angle. Try recreating that with a flat screen at home.
As if that is going to stop them from hitting a school bus for the fourth time. A said previously, taking their driving license and their car might just prevent it, because they have to be sober to go out and buy a car and all that. If you let them have a car and drive it sober, they will want to drive it drunk as well. Don't try to reason with a drunk, reason with him/her when sober. The argument of "intent" doesn't work on someone that's hammered.
Now this is a man with a plan. I propose we get the IETF in on this and make sure that no government can kill communications in the future. Ad Hoc networking should be made so reliable and versatile that routing would still be possible even if some government would shut down all major routing points.
But then with a flammable gas, used as a fuel. Those systems hardly ever fail, even in a crash. Yes, even on the German Autobahn, where there is no speed limit, they drive around with these cylinders in their cars.
The Japanese are rapidly going through the earths supply of whale meat. I guess they just want something to replace that by the time whales are extinct.

So next time put an "at job" on that shuts the computer down in the weekend. He'll have to restart on monday.

but does it smell like fish?

A lot of trade now accepts euro and dollars, with more and more preference for the euro if the end destination of the goods is in the euro zone.

How about making it a Mars lander, you've had so much success with that the last time you went all giddy about this.

No youngster wears a phone pouch on their hip anymore. Did they take the average age and de-calcification for the elderly into account?

Well, it appears closed source and copyrights have yet gotten me one step closer to being able to do just that.
It wouldn't be speeding if it wasn't breaking that limit now, would it?
So it's not a new M class server with 24 CPUs/Cores? Meh, time to change the EOTD-server to "solar flares" again then.

I happen to know that "teenager". He dried up pretty well behind his ears and is doing well in ICT these days.

I doubt you'll find any of their DNA back in permafrost on the north pole. Feel free to go look for yourself if you think you have a chance.
You'd only get a 100G drive and no bracket there
