Hey, if you weren't doing anything wrong, you wouldn't have any problem with low-level NSA employees passing around to their friends the bondage videos you shot with your wife that you thought were safely stored on your hard drive!
Broken in the sense that this might be useful for people wanting to experiment with writing their own software for the PS4 without paying Sony a fortune, but that's a pretty small target audience. Eventually it will be useful for supporting games the original developer has abandoned.
Oh, come on! The Roman Empire used lead to seal all their wine jugs, and there's no history of violence in the Roman Empire... oh, wait... never mind! (Caligula.. just a dude that loved to party!)
They've already created sexbots, although the "indistinguishable from the real thing" might still be a bit of a problem. Most blonds I know can't pass a Turing test either!
Bad analogy. It's a lot easier to trace the owner of an unregistered car; they are usual located behind the steering wheel. When law enforcement has the ability to follow my tiny drone and read the license plate on it, then I might consider it a better analogy.
Lighter drones would also be a lot more susceptible to wind. I've seen a lot of "indoor use only" RC helicopters that won't need to be registered, but big enough to carry a payload like a camera and fly for 30 minutes or more would exceed the weight limit.
Come on, it works every bit as well as banning Muslims based on the assumption that no terrorist would lie about their religion! We have lots of laws like restraining orders based on the assumption that people intent on murder won't dare commit a much lesser offense...
Yes, the Portland Trailblazers have a large flying remote-controlled "truck" inside their stadium, complete with video camera(s) that broadcast to the jumbotron... obviously this is a huge threat that must be registered with the FAA! How about we only require remote controlled aircraft large enough to carry a weapon to be registered... but then, we'd need a better definition of "weapon" too.
So, those Estes model rockets that we used to send thousands of feet into the air in the 60s and 70s now need to be registered with the FAA? Seems to me they could do a lot more damage than a miniature quad rotor... I suspect their solid-fuel engines were filled with something that could be classified as an explosive, too. Seriously, we need a better definition of what actually needs to be registered.
Yet another organization desperately struggling to appear still relevant? Welcome to the club! You'll meet the many existing members like Yahoo.. and look, over in the corner, there's MySpace! (Ok, I'm forced to use Firefox on my work Linux system only because I don't have any admin priviledge to install anything else.)
Trump, Carlson, and Sanders all have one thing in common: none of them stand any chance of actually getting elected. Polls are bullshit, especially this far ahead of the game. I predicted a Bush/Clinton contest several months ago, and I'm sticking with that prediction, but a lot could happen in the next year to make that not happen too. It does look like both are keeping a really low profile while more arrogant candidates fight among themselves, might turn out to be a good long term strategy, despite both of them having a complete lack of charisma.
Agreed, he is a really scary douchebag (not as scary as a few of the other candidates, but that's another story). But even being a ridiculous douchebag, it is still possible for him to do some things right. This is a step in the right direction, even though it will most likely go nowhere. It's a sad, sad day when Cruz starts to look like the lesser of multiple evils... (I still predict a Bush/Clinton general election, the surprises will come from the VP picks. Trump might manage to broker himself a VP slot -- then we all pray that nobody shoots Bush!)
Fair enough, H-1B workers should get paid TWICE the prevailing wage for their job description, then let's see if companies still argue they need H-1B workers because can't find any Americans to do the job, when the reality is they can't find Americans to do the job at the price they are paying for H-1B indentured servants. Anybody want to argue that not being able to change jobs because you're only in the country at the behest of a sponsor doesn't make you an indentured servant? Didn't think so..
Like for example, the other candidates got even more grossly arrogant and annoying, making him look better by comparison? Sad what's become of the GOP, I used to like them for their ideas on fiscal conservativism, before the Tea Party turned them into the party of choice for the batshit insane.
Elon Musk is in the business of becoming the Intel of batteries; he knows Tesla itself will not show huge profits. He has every incentive to license charging technology to other car companies so that he can sell them batteries. The only limiting factor is safety concerns.
A hybrid getting 50mpg with a 12 gallon tank has a 600 mile range. My 2003 Civic hybrid routinely gets around 500 miles between fill ups, especially if it's mostly freeway. Your mileage may vary. (Sadly, the Civic that got just under 50mpg freeway new now only gets about 45mpg freeway.)

The reality distortion field is strong in this one...
There is a reason why HP's stock price jumped 7% the day she left...

They should have based their OS on nice, secure Windows instead of that poorly-designed FreeBSD crap!
I'm being humorous, but it is good to be occasionally reminded that all software has vulnerabilities.
And thus, the Pinto was produced...

Sounds like Karma to me.

Or, you know, simply remove the serial number, like they've been doing for firearms for how long now?

Does my drone-mounted pistol need to be registered with the BATF too?

Hard to find anything with both your hands in someone else's pockets...
Sometime things change...
