That's not correct. A lot of that only applies to mechanical cars. A Prius is operated in a similar fashion to a fly by the wire plane, which means that it's an electronic signal from the gas or the brake that tells it what to do and to what extent. The accident which finally drew enough attention to the problem to actually warrant a proper investigation was of a police officer who was very well trained in how to handle such situations, and he wasn't able to get the car under control himself.
Other manufacturers have introduced a feature where the accelerator input shuts off completely when the system detects the brakes being applied, Toyota has yet to do so.
Consequently, I don't think that you're applying Occam's razor correctly.
I'm shocked that it's been allowed to progress this far. I always thought that it was a war crime to use robots in this fashion. It's great to keep people out of harms way when it's your people. But when the bots are on the other side it's a different story. Not just that, but without an actual person there, it gets really hard to ascertain what's going on. Not to mention, the increased likelihood of a Terminator style robots running amok scenario.
Yes, there is. Privacy policy is a part of the ToS in most cases, and should they change it they are required to give those that are subject to it the opportunity to cancel the contract. Which is one of the reasons why companies like MS and Sony are such a joke, because they regularly change their terms, but offer limited ability to opt out, and definitely don't offer the ability to get a full and complete refund for the product affected.
Doesn't help any of them that get kicked out of their house today. Or beaten and killed for that matter. Sure it's extreme, but it does happen, and given the fixation by bigots it does happen and over the population of 100k, it's definitely possible that at least one of those is in a situation where that's possible. Not likely as it's a risk to having that kind of publication in that situation, but still.
You may disagree, but you're wrong. Petitions are opened so that the people can know who it is that's putting it up for a vote. In a vote, people know that the candidate that is running is behind it, and there's usually a listing of endorsements. The Republican party thought that it was clever to switch our county elections to non-partisan so that they could slip in one of their candidates undetected. It didn't work, the people saw through it. Turns out that folks in this county don't want to vote for that sort of trash.
The petitions here in WA have been open for a good long time, and there has never been any evidence that doing so subjected people to undo influence or coercion. Even in this case the names for those that funded the referendum there is no evidence that they underwent any illegal harassment or other problems.
Indeed which makes it so rotten that they can require men to sign up for it. Especially since the recruiters don't seem to have any meaningful sense of integrity. I'm still getting harassed after a decade of not wanting into the Navy for reasons related to their renowned bigotry. Since I didn't give them my information, I should never have been contacted, let alone repeatedly called. The post cards these days are pretty trivial comparatively speaking.
Lists of this sort are a very serious responsibility and sharing them without the expressed written consent of the person that owns the information is not OK.
Um, the only time I've had trouble with it is when my account was transferred to a new firm after acquision. Which makes it virtually impossible to account for without being psychic.
Um, a lot of that is what people wanted. They didn't want to be told what they could and couldn't install. Hence you get a lot of junk, if you see something illegal you can flag it, but there isn't really a good compromise between open and highly manicured.
It's not that different from the Appstore on the iPhone, I'm sure most of those apps are junk as well. People tend to browse the most recent and popular lists primarily to find things. As that'll find most of the good ones, also if one has a specific need in mind, Google helps with that as well.
I'm wondering why they needed to say "high school girls." Were they just over emphasizing being girl friendly, or did they actually make more of an effort with girls than boys?
It's easy for them to do so when they aren't the producer of the works. The US tends to be ridiculously over the top protective of such things largely because we're the world's largest exporter of copyright materials. Since it's so hard to keep copyright materials in the country of origin, there's very little risk from nations like China that blatantly ignore copyright protection on works that are produced outside the country. I suspect that Brazil probably has a more liberal view of public domain than the US does, and there's probably at least some materials that are public domain there which aren't here.
You also need to keep in mind that SCO's predecessor (AT&T) was itself caught copying code from Berkely.
There was exactly one case where there was copying shown between SCO and Linux. In that case the code was from Berkely (licensed open source) copied into SCO and copied into Linux by SGI as one of their internal filesystem driver headers. The code was determined to be non infringing due to it's history but deleted because it was old and reimplemented in a better way elsewhere.
Hold it, either the code was copied or it wasn't. Unless the file contained the required BSD license and probably at that point advertisement clause it was infringing. If it was copied, then there is no exclusion for history, possibly a lack of responsibility, but definitely not a lack of infringement.

Indeed, but the NPR model seems to still be holding up pretty well. They don't waste money trying to get absolutely everybody to pay, simply to get as many people as possible to pay, then not nag people during the rest of the year. On the net, it tends to be easier, because you can offer an ad version to those that can't or don't want to directly contribute, and give those that do an ad free version plus perhaps some minor perks.
In the US, you have to pay income or capital gains on all income. Well subject to a few provisos. Doesn't matter whether it's gold, USD, CAD, eggs or just exchanged work, it still counts as income.
Because it's more convenient for international transactions. You have people swapping them across borders and only have to convert the money once, when one wishes to cash out. Rather than each and every time there's a transaction across currency types.
That's not entirely correct, close but not quite. You get inflation/deflation when the supply of money deviates from the amount of economic activity. Money is just a placeholder for the things that you can buy with it as it tends to be inconvenient to always be dealing in whole cows and hundreds of eggs to buy everything. So, you can indeed get a similar effect with gold or silver, it's just susceptible to other sources of manipulation such as the gold and silver taken out of circulation for technological products.
The Federal Reserve is a private banking institution which is run by government appointees. It is not now nor has it ever been a part of the federal government. They just happen to be the ones that are authorized to represent the Federal Government in that respect.
I'd recommend against using any major currency then, probably go back to either gold or bartering. The US Federal Reserve "prints" money primarily by adding a fictitious amount of money to their computer systems, which is then available to lend to other banks. At no point does the money actually exist, but it counts towards inflation anyways. And yes, having people screw with that has the potential for enormous trouble should they get it wrong.
In this day and age, chances are if you can call 911, even if you don't say anything, that they can use the devices GPS to find you. They do it precisely because they don't have any way of knowing whether or not you're dying in a ditch. That was the primary reason why GPS technology found its way into cell phones well before they gave people access to it.
Only technically. You do realize that in total the Treasury, Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae hold nearly $2 trillion in Chinese investments alone? And that the Chinese have been buying up American debt at a rate of somewhere in the neighborhood of 1/7 of their GDP for some time?
They're not going to cash in treasury paper, which is still the safest in the world, without first pulling all that cash out. And yes it would be disastrous for both parties.
7%? It's more like 70% of the US national debt. They can't afford to take it with them any more than we can afford to let them. It would be financial MAD.
I wouldn't say that. Personally I do try to stay away from them wherever possible, but it's not because of the fees. Anytime you use credit or debit, the processor gets a chunk of the transaction to pay for the service. What's really nice about Paypal is that there's some choice as to who pays it. But on the flip side, there's a lot of behaviors which are obnoxious to say the least. Like freezing money in accounts for random reasons and refusing to give it back.
Like attracts like and as a result it's easy to end up in a situation of confirmation bias. People that are more politically astute tend to push people away that aren't, and those that are less astute tend not to draw the attention of those with interests in politics.
Um, neither Rush nor Beck subject politicians to scrutiny. It's not really scrutiny, when you dig up some random thing then make up a reason for it to be bad.
