The problem isn't Google responding to certain phrases on TV.
The problem is Google responding to the TV. So, instead of fancy fingerprinting stuff, figure out a way to keep your stuff from responding to broadcasting devices like radios and TV sets. Oh, and patent it. And profit!
They should have held a quick auction. $500 for the first person who will give up their seat. No takers? $600.. $700. etc.. If it takes $8000, so be it.
As fas as I heard, they actually did that, but stopped at $800.
Which was probably a bad move, because at that point, people are waiting for the psychologically important threshold of $1000 being crossed.
It was NOT over booked, they wanted seats to transports staff.
Yes. They could have acknowledged their screw-up and raised the sum they were offering (their last offer was, what, $800?), provided an alternative means of transportation, or whatever.
Yeah, that may have appeared expensive, but I hope that it will appear cheap compared to the costs of this case.
Not doing what a police officer orders? At that point it doesn't matter - you have to comply. The place to argue an unlawful police order is a court of law.
So if a police officer orders you to kill yourself, or the person next to you... you comply and then argue that in a court of law?
"Learn your hacker archetype by answering these 00100000 questions!"
Me? Um... architect because it makes my life easier, sharpshooter if necessary, tinker since it's my job, algorithmicist as long as it's signal processing related.
Definitely not castellan or translator. The most complex UI I had to manage was "one button, one LED".
Using gas to poison your own population makes twisted sort of sense â" use terror to subjugate people.
It makes sense from an evil dictators point of view when he knows that the world isn't watching or doesn't care.
It makes absolutely no sense from his point of view when he knows everyone's watching and some of the top military powers of the world are just looking for an excuse to bomb him some more. In that case, he'd just drop conventional bombs. They're cheap, don't cause that much of a stir, and used on unprotected targets they're just as deadly.
The problem with Islam as opposed to Christianity is that Islam has not gone through a 'reformation' as Christian denominations have done.
It has, actually. Christian 'reformation' had nothing to do with modernization, but with returning to what Christian scriptures said instead of making up lots and lots of house rules, like the Catholic church did back then.
Islam is undergoing the same process right now; the results are groups like Salafists and Wahabites that also want to return (Islamic) faith to (Islamic) scripture.
Wasn't it already established that constitutional rights don't really apply while you're stuck in immgrations? They can search your stuff without a warrant, so why should other constitutional protections apply?
Yes, of course. The point of these questions is not just to acquire information, it's also to get you to provide false information, i.e. lie. Then you can be easily charged with lying to immigration authorities.
Personally, I know I wouldn't even be able to begin to comply with this kind of demand.
Well that's too bad.
Does that include aliases on bulletin board systems from the 1980's?
If someone else can still prove that you had this account, yes.
In that case, the amber phase has to be made long enough to accomodate the worst reaction time legally allowed and the worst deceleration legally allowed, and the highest speed legally allowed on this stretch of the road.
At least in the US, the duration of the amber period is fairly arbitrary, though. Which is where much of the discussion about red light cameras stems from. If there were fixed minimum durations (at least 3 seconds, 5 seconds if the speed limit is higher than 40 mph), things would be clearer.

Burger King's Ad should be firmly covered by the first amendment.

If the goal is terror, then killing everyone in the basement isn't necessary.
That helps to sleep tight at night.
And the chance of getting a bomb dropped on your head at any time is any better?

$11M sounds like small change for a patent infringement case.
Same way they do it against US citizens - cancel the account. *poof*
Because there are worse places.
Your question essentially amounts to "Is the US the worst place in the world?", and the answer is "No.".
That's still completely fine. The next plane back to where you came from leaves in five hours and fifty-five minutes.
It has, actually. Christian 'reformation' had nothing to do with modernization, but with returning to what Christian scriptures said instead of making up lots and lots of house rules, like the Catholic church did back then.

"Well, unfortunately for you we can prove that you are lying. So we'll stick you in prison first and then deport you. Have a nice day!"
That's great, too. The next plane back to where you came from leaves in six hours.

"They are taking him nowhere, Mr. Rivers."
He or she is a technician in the field of (chemical, biological, thermal and mechanical) process engineering involving food.
"C++ and C are quite similar."
No ... you usually can't. Unless you don't look at your code for six weeks, and then read it and wonder what exactly you were thinking.
Most ironic of situations. You fix a reported bug, and shortly after get reports from customers asking for the bug back.
Oh.
I get it.
That means I'm not a programmer.
What is this "we" you speak of?
I am agile here.
I can trust the libraries I use.
I can trust the linker.
I can trust the hardware the code runs on.
Yes, of course. The point of these questions is not just to acquire information, it's also to get you to provide false information, i.e. lie. Then you can be easily charged with lying to immigration authorities.
