Tie the programming to the region set on the account. The region is set when verifying the billing address on the credit card. Its what the satellite companies would do. Sure you can open a Po box and get a US credit card, but thats more work for most and you won't have the ability to change it.
I don't want my kids (or grandkids) to get this information from poorly equipped teachers who have 30 new kids to raise every year.
We hare having this debate and protests in Ontario since the government came out with their updated curriculum.
There are some against it for many different reasons. I don't really worry about them because they'll probably teach their kid someday or wake up really fast when their kid says their pregnant. It's the vocal minority i'm worried about which seem to be Muslims and other religious groups. They will never teach their kids these things and perpetuate the idea that women are belongings. These are the ones who come up with pure FUD such as
"In Grade 1 they will learn to reveal their private parts (not just name), they will see posters and flash cards of private parts, they will learn to touch the private area and identify it on themselves and others."
The grocery store or ATM, with cameras all over the place, could do it by simply having a sign at the front of the store that says CCTV. They could record your picture at the register and associate it with a bank card or credit card. After 5 transactions they could guarantee that the person using that card has your face and is likely the owner. They could then flag how many times somebody else uses your card. They could track you throughout the store, like they do now but associated with an individual. Stores would have cameras at the entrances and exits. They would know how many people are currently in the store and who they are. They can't track though, I use cash, right?
The grocery store subscribes to a third party a face recognition aggregator.
At the beginning you'll have a shadow profile (#34950892). All it takes it one pump at a gas station, or taking cash out at the ATM to associate your face. About the only thing you could do is wear a disguise, but a different one each time.
I've been using a 5.8Ghz black pearl FPV kit with a DJI phantom and its just not something you could trust 100% in a city. Once you start going low and behind concrete objects (buildings), nevermind a city of them between you and your package destination, you loose signal fast.
So I see the copter starting to land infront of the apartment building in the video and then it cuts to her drinking the tea. How long does the copter wait before taking off again? Does it or somebody notify her that its waiting outside? How can they be so trusting to land it in that location without visual? Hitting a tree seems inevitable.
Actually AdBlock is not necessarily good, especially if you use OWA. It inserts NSFW text into the body of emails when using Safari which then gets blocked by Spam filters. AdBlock has finally owned up to the problem almost a year later.
At that point, unless they've been very clever about spoofing their details when the hailed the ride(or just stole somebody's phone), you could more or less automatically deliver the lost article(if they left something in the car and you want to score some customer service points), the bill, or the court summons(if you are less than pleased with how they treated the vehicle) to their place of residence.
Sorry my baby puked in the car. She just had breakfast and I didn't have any wipes on me to clean it up properly. You can send me the $0.05 bill for the tissue you used to clean it up.
Something like this is easy to clean up but would completely turn off the next person from using it. We aren't going to start harassing single mothers are we?
You may think that that's the only way of having roads, but it clearly isn't if you look at history.
I would honestly like to know how that worked out. Anything I can find on non-government roads are either private roads on private property, or homeowners associations. The first involves you owning the land, the second involves you being a part of a micro-government.
I just don't see how this would possibly work if a homeowner didn't want to pay for the road in front of their house, especially in a city. On a snow day like today would it just not get plowed for 20 feet?
Blake Ross suggests [medium.com] that you pack a few items with you while you're taking a taxi:
The article says it was written on December 2, 2014, but I think it was written in 2004 and published in 2014.
A quick search brings up the Nevada Taxicab Authority complaints page. The form isn't a PDF. Maybe it was in 2004. Best guess is that Blake Ross uses Bing search after his kerfuffle with Google.
Sounds like they are just following their Canadian counterparts. Radioshack was bought(?) by Circuit City and had to stop using the name back in 2005.
Meanwhile Sears sold their flagship store in 2013 and has laid many layoffs since. Had you asked me two years ago whether Sears would go out of business before Target in Canada I would have picked Sears. To be fair though, Target never really tried.
Major releases happen with auto-update notifications and then you realize that your old snapshots can't be started
[knock on wood] I've had good luck by shutting down the guest OS and then taking a snapshot. I had numerous unresolved issues with VM's that were snapshotted in a saved mode not starting properly after an upgrade of VirtualBox.
It is possible that VirtualBox has fixed USB support in more recent versions. Older versions, ~2 years ago, plagued me though when trying to use a piece of software that required a dongle. The same setup with VMWare just worked.
Everything you store offsite should have at least two layers of strong encryption using different crypt-algorithms
Encryption has to be part of the solution, but it also starts introducing problems when talking about offsite storage hosting.
You have to take into account the size of encrypted container and how it is transferred. Before putting down much money, do some quick tests to see if you can do an incremental backup or whether you will be transferring a 1TB container every time a file within it is changed. If so, find out how much your ISP charges for bandwidth overages, then figure out whether the hosting provider also charges for overages.
OK hotshot, how sure are you that the medium those *wonderful* answers are stored on hasn't deteriorated, resulting in us looking back on bad advice?!
I think we have to go on what the question asks. They say they are "considering" certain technologies, not that they have implemented them already and are having problems.
We are considering BluRay, HDD, and SSD but wanted to ask the Slashdot community what they would do.
Maine State Police Lt. Erik Baker, supervisor for Troop G, which covers the Maine Turnpike, said 19 cars slid off the highway or got stuck in snowbanks Tuesday morning.
“The roads are treacherous,” Baker said. “There are major whiteouts.”
Conditions were delaying tow trucks and emergency workers and at least one motorist abandoned a vehicle, got a ride to safety and plans to have the car retrieved Wednesday, he said.
“You can’t tell whether you are on the road or off the road,” said Bob Bohlmann of York County Emergency Management. “People who have come in to help us say it is very, very easy to get disoriented.”
You haven't provided any context in your examples. Is the 10Gb file being downloaded by Jack Bauer in an attempt to save the world? Is the video game part of a global world championship? Which one is more important and to who?
They often do change the rules AFTER the fact and Realtors often gloss over the HOA's authority except to tell you if there are any dues.
Maybe its just a Canadian thing, but we have Real Estate Lawyers go over the paperwork. At the very least you should have them go over the finances of the HOA to ensure they are in good standing.
The car could also pull to the side of the road when weather conditions become too adverse.
The car would still need to be able to get to the side of the road. If it can't handle driving in a snow storm then how would it possibly pull over if you drove into a snow squall on the highway? By definition a snow squall is a sudden moderately heavy snow fall with blowing snow. Its not something that happens with any warning.

The summary has more words than the article. I had to check because I wasn't sure if renewables consumed or generated half of Scotland's Energy.
In Ontario we call it the sunshine list. Its nice and searchable.
If you have usage-based insurance the car can report telemetry data itself. They could use the same system to automatically bill you for speeding.

When we encounter each other in the hallway I expect that it will move aside and not continue down the center making me go around it.
Here's a video I could find that wasn't produced by Visa.
The speed in the video matches my experience.

VMware has better USB and SATA device support.

We're used to this stuff - it snows in the winter. No big deal.
Well, everyone except those who decided to drive:

Erik Baker, supervisor for Troop G, which covers the Maine Turnpike, said 19 cars slid off the highway or got stuck in snowbanks Tuesday morning. “The roads are treacherous,” Baker said. “There are major whiteouts.” Conditions were delaying tow trucks and emergency workers and at least one motorist abandoned a vehicle, got a ride to safety and plans to have the car retrieved Wednesday, he said. “You can’t tell whether you are on the road or off the road,” said Bob Bohlmann of York County Emergency Management. “People who have come in to help us say it is very, very easy to get disoriented.”
implying that there was some dishonest conspiracy between the various weather agencies to over-predict.
Not just conspiracy between agencies, but countries. Environment Canada is predicting the same storm hitting the east coast.
Im not sure if it is or not, but there is a height restriction that DJI publishes for the area due to a close by airport.
You haven't provided any context in your examples. Is the 10Gb file being downloaded by Jack Bauer in an attempt to save the world? Is the video game part of a global world championship? Which one is more important and to who?
