But insurance companies would probably choose to do just the opposite. Large trucks would receive less damage in an accident so would be less costly to insure. Insurance companies would use weight/3000lb and divide the insurance cost by the number instead of multiplying.
Another problem with "privacy policies" is that they disappear when the company does. Barnes and Noble was able to buy the intellectual property of Borders when they went bankrupt. This included all the customer information regardless of the original Borders privacy policy. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/container/stores.asp?pid=39742
So even if you trust a company if it goes out of business your information can go to the highest bidder.
Exactly. With systems like Blackboard, electronic libraries, and online classes students shouldn't have to be on the university intranet to get their work done.
If it was that much of an issue the university should connect their dorms to a separated dedicated internet line rather than the vital feed of their university network.
When I was moving I went through some old college books. I found a 5 year old project management book detailing Kodak's success at adapting to business changes. I threw it out with the rest of the trash.
Firmware updates are normally applied to a car via secure communication on the CAN-BUS (via direct connection or cd player). If an update prevents a module from accessing the CAN-BUS it would be easier to swap out the module than to reprogram the module using a different method.
Perhaps the car as a whole wasn't bricked but computer systems on it may have been.
Mostly because every Windows machine has a remote desktop client but almost none have a VNC client installed. I actually do have a UltraVNC server running but since remote desktop is easier to access I have never really used it. Honestly I forgot I even had it.
Except if one company can get away with charging an extra fee ALL companies can get away with charging an extra fee. This especially applies since car insurance is mandatory in some (most? all?) states. That is why airlines started adding extra fees at the same time, cellular companies started adding extra fees at the same time, etc., etc..
I never said I avoided it. Last year I was on jury duty for two weeks and took it very seriously. However, what the courts gave me hardly covered gas and lunch and my work didn't give me jury pay for the two weeks. By the time I got back to work I was broke and people were unhappy with the mindset as if I took a two week paid vacation.
When it comes down to it the jury consists mostly of people that have decent enough jobs that pay for jury duty and those that are retired. Other people generally find ways to get out of it or are thrown out by the attorneys/judge by acting like people with common sense or intelligence rather than puppets.
Eh, Jury Duty does not pay enough to own me for the entire duration of a trial. Sure, I will go out of my way to avoid finding out information about the trial in the name of impartiality but I will be damned if they want to make me a prisoner in my own body while I get an unpaid vacation from work.
What makes that interesting is that a lot of time time insurance companies refuse to pay for non-generic versions of medicines if a generic version is available.
Multi-stranded wire does not help when dealing with the skin effect. Since the skin effect is caused by an electro-magnetic field and the strands are in contact with each other a multi-stranded wire will experience the same effects as a solid conductor.
To get around the skin effect you need to use something called a Litz wire. A Litz wire is a mult-stranded wire in which each conductor is smaller than the skin depth and each strand is insulated from the others. Each strand is routed from the center of the bundle to the edges of the bundle throughout the length of the bundle to ensure there are no "center-strands" which do not contribute to the conductivity of the wire.
Because believe it or not most people go to college to find a better job or to start a career. People want their university to teach them useful skills to make their students employable. It is a novel idea for people to go to school for the sake of higher learning but in today's world productivity (perceived or real) is what drives the human race.
Yes it can. Like recently when the DiRT 3 promotional game codes got leaked from that ATI affiliate site; Valve revoked all of the DIRT 3 promotional keys, uninstalled the games, and required legit ATI hardware owners to scan proof of purchases.
On the other hand I almost exclusively purchase games through Steam and a few of my friends are the same way. If a publisher such as EA pulls their games from Steam they are potentially removing a large part of their market. Steam has a lot of momentum with their large gaming library, constant game sales, and community. Systems like Origin, Impulse, etc, don't have the same draw.
Hate to break it to you but going in debt for a college degree is almost the exact opposite of becoming part of the 1%. Getting a college degree now days means getting by without struggling too hard.
Just because something is quantum does not mean it is inherently special. Optical devices like photo-transistors have to deal with shot noise caused by quantum effects. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_noise#In_optics. Those kinds of effects can be leveraged for randomness.
On the other side of the coin... I have not closed Firefox 7 in over a week and it is only using 206MB/8GB. I always have at least 5 tabs open at a time and it isn't uncommon for me to have 10 or more.
Perhaps memory usage consistency should be a goal of Mozilla.

Even an "eco friendly low power" drive is between 1-2 orders of magnitude faster than 1MB/s.
How much fuel does it take to mobilize an M61 Vulcan (by sea or air)?

Windows 7 Professional supports remote desktop. The home version does not let you RDP into it. I use RDP quite often when I am not at home.
I'll have you know that all of those legal problems can be solved by bribes in the Great US of A too!

For an example of this watch Ghost in the Shell.

I bet it because it is trademarked.

Pick Debian or something Debian based like Ubuntu.
