I think parent means stop bringing up the Second Amendment to defend this kid because it’s not the least bit relevant. He wasn’t bearing arms, he was bearing a smartphone.
You could probably use it until it’s reported stolen, but you would be taking a risk every time you went through a toll, not knowing if it had been flagged yet. Toll evasion tickets go to the owner of the plate, not the pass. The only way to legitimately associate the pass with a different plate is to log in to the account on line. Likewise refilling it.
I have never kept my FasTrak (our version of EZPass) stuck to the windshield. It lives in its mylar foil bag in the center console until I’m approaching a toll. Besides, people will break a window and steal it. It can’t be linked to a different vehicle, at least not without me setting that up, so it’s pretty much worthless to anyone else, but crackheads don’t know that.
So have the security system limit attempts. As soon as it detects that it’s being code-spammed, it stops listening for some amount of time. Rinse and repeat. The criminal’s device won’t know that the system isn’t listening, so it will consider all the codes it sent during that time as incorrect.
Cisco may not have standing in court, but that shouldn’t prevent them from contributing to their customers’ defense. Lend them some high-priced in-house counsel.
Supposedly an EKG can also be used as a unique biometric identifier. There’s a device under development with a release target of “early 2014” that uses it for authentication, and it’s just a slim bracelet rather than a crown of wires.
I have no connection with the company and absolutely no idea if the thing can or will work as advertised, I just happened to be reading about it right as this was posted.
I realize she likely hasn’t sworn any oath to uphold the Constitution, regardless I think her duty to its principles eclipses her duty to Yahoo’s shareholders.
How much do you think a stamp should cost? Because it damn sure costs more than 46 for someone to take a letter from your house across the state to someone else’s house, never mind across the country. Having that subsidized enables a vital flow of communication and commerce (less so now than even ten years ago, but still,) that’s why the P.O. shouldn’t have to be revenue-neutral, any more than an interstate highway should.
Not everything should be part of the “free market.” Natural monopolies and essential services for example. What if someone complained that the fire department is “losing money?” He’d be rightly ridiculed. Duh, it’s not supposed to be a profit center, it’s something society has agreed to collectively spend money on. Yet people freely bitch about the Post Office and public schools* “losing money.”
*Public schools in the U.S. sense of the term, it’s backwards in the U.K.
Randall Flagg from The Stand and The Dark Tower series is suggested to be the demon(s) Legion that Jesus exorcised into a herd of pigs which subsequently ran off a cliff into the sea.
“My name is Legion, for we are many.” - Mark 5:9
So that could account for a whole shitload of characters in just that one guy.
Corporate personhood, entrepreneurship, big business vs. small, selective enforcement, none of those are the issue here. The issue is that corporations exist specifically to protect the personal assets of the individuals behind them. Otherwise no one would invest in anything, since that would expose all their worldly goods to liabilities incurred by the company, instead of just the amount they invested. (Lloyd’s of London is a notable exception; investors pledge all their personal assets. But that’s a special case.)
Now, criminal wrongdoing is a different matter. Obviously you don’t get to form an LLC to rob banks and then enjoy immunity. But that’s not what’s happening here.
I thought depleted uranium was used for its mass, not specifically for its long-term toxic effects. Lead is toxic also, after all. And white phosphorus just burns you up faster than conventional incendiaries, what’s the problem there? It’s preferable for people to burn more slowly?
writing code for an iPad is restricted to those who purchase an Apple developer account, create programs that align with Apple standards, and submit their finished products for Apple's approval prior to distribution.
This is highly misleading, bordering on bullshit. Too many ANDs in that statement, and the second two clauses are really two aspects of one clause that the author is breaking out to rhetorically exaggerate the difficulty. You can develop for iOS without getting your stuff featured on the App Store, and you can develop for the iOS Simulator without enrolling in the paid developer program.

OIC. I was confused because the merged league is still called the NFL.
If you don’t like the social contract, you’re welcome to agitate to change it. Or find another society that suits you better.
Dell going into the interesting products business is a much bigger leap than going into the services business.
The NFL doesn’t still have a lock on pro football? Is the XFL coming back?

Guns which would almost certainly have been found using the pre-9/11 security procedures.
Go ask the NSA for a copy of the raw data they’ve collected. Let us know how that goes.
Jonathan Pollard got life in prison for passing classified data to Israel.
Herpetology is the study of reptiles and amphibians.
Bear in mind that Dave Mustaine was kicked out of Metallica for being too much of an asshole even for them.
Using the U.S. as a yardstick for treaty compliance is like using Syria as a yardstick for upholding human rights.

If I had joined a group (the U.N. in this case) where that’s one of the rules of membership, yeah.
Then why has he blocked inspectors?
