Perhaps his co-worker send him an email entitled "BILL 125 -- URGENT" with an attachment, to which he complied by opening. That would actually be pretty funny.
Before Facebook, there was Myspace, Classmates, Friendster, off the top of my head. These all sucked, because they were highly restrictive, cost money or didn't have the userbase. Facebook is a great way to keep in touch, the downside is, their mantra is NOT "Do no evil".
I'm sure people were mumbling the same privacy issues back when the phone was invented, the internet was invented, online transactions started, etc. There's a smart way and a dumb way to be on the internet.
Remember back during BBS's and Usenet when people actually used their real name?
A 2 hour movie can be compressed to 700 MB with very excellent quality (for low def). 100 movies x 700 MB is 70 GB, not far from 64 GB. Keep in mind these movies are being watched on a small screen, so you could probably increase the compression or reduce the image size and it would still look fine. 100 movies on 40 GB with decent quality is not unrealistic.
Ripping them all would be tedious, agreed. You could d/l them instead, but, I suppose that's another can of worms.
So what if the city is using them for profit? More revenue via tickets for people who do admittedly arguable offenses means less taxes for us who don't get tickets.
"I think getting their electronics analyzed by NASA is the smartest thing Toyota can do. They need a detached third party body with a stellar reputation to reassure people to clear their name."
All cars are supposed to disengage the accelerator if the brake is pressed. However if it is computer controlled, and there's a glitch, then the brake will not stop the engine! In a couple of these crashes, the brake pads were worn out from rubbing against the rotors, and did not stop the car. As heat builds up, the pads lose their friction -- so the brakes may slow the car initially, but then lose their effectiveness as the engine continues to push forward.
True. However many cars are drive by wire, meaning, there is no physical connection between the shifter and the transmission. So if there is a computer glitch, which may have happened with some of these cars, then you're SOL. Only option is to turn off the car -- unless it's a pushbutton start (like the Prius), then you're really up the creek...
One cancer cell doesn't necessarily develop into a tumor. Generally the body is capable of disposing of rogue cells regularly, but it depends on many factors.
"The proposal of having engine power being cut off when the brakes are applied seems to be sensible, however there are certain situations where you will need both the engine power and brakes on at the same time. Such as starting from a stop on a hill."
You NEVER need both brake and power at the same time. Doing this would require both feet, which is a big no-no. Off the brake, onto the accelerator, easy as pie. If you have a clutch, even easier.
It was "like" the name "Chuck Norris" made of of symbols, upper and lower case letters. Even if you knew the password, good luck trying all the combinations to get the actual password.
Cadmium was never an issue in toys before, now it is. So there was no need for regulation. If lawmakers were to propose regulations on "all" potentially harmful materials, the public would go nuts.
It's also the research costs. It takes a LOT of time to determine what the optimum pigments, solutions, head size, etc are for your prints to look great. The cheap knock-offs just imitate what was already made, and generally look good but not "great".
This is also the reason pharmaceutical companies charge so much for medicine. Actual production costs very little, it's the research that's the killer...
We freeze cells and keep them at -80C for future use. Most of the cells turn out to be viable and usable after the freeze/thaw cycle. I realize freezing a body is very different then cells, however, I would hesitate to say freezing a body or head is "impossible".
Powerpoint is great for showing concepts through demonstration. Videos and animations can greatly enhance the student learning process. Of course there is a right way and wrong way to do this. I've come to prefer learning via Powerpoint instead of chalk boards (ugh) or transparencies. It's a bonus if we can get the slides ahead of time to print out and bring to class. That way we can write notes on our slides during the class.
Thank you Dr. Quozientatore for pointing out the obvious.
However as you may not know, H1N1 is different from general flu strains as it tends to have the strongest and deadliest effect on healthy people in their prime. Who do NOT generally get the flu shot.
Unfortunately for experts like you, we don't have the original data to analyze and come to our own conclusions, we only have a general news report (which we know is always scientifically sound and full of correct facts). Researchers are reviewing the paper extensively to ensure there was no unintended bias and the research is valid. Until then, please wear your tinfoil hat and facemask. Thanks.
FYI, Organic foods can be grown using pesticides, but they must be organic pesticides only. Organic pesticides can be just as deadly as synthetics. FWIW organic farmers tend to use less pesticides than non-organic farmers and take care of the environment around them, which is definitely a plus.
Organic foods can be grown using pesticides, but they must be organic pesticides only. What does this mean? Not a lot, as many organic pesticides are just as harmful as synthetics (or worse). Many so called "natural" pesticides haven't been tested thoroughly either, so long term exposure is not known.
The antibiotics is a great reason for eating organic. The reason your food tastes better might be because it's a local farm, so they're picked fresh and ripe instead of food hauled across the world, ripening during the trip.

e.g.: Rotenone: An effective organic pesticide and breaks down quickly, but is toxic to humans. Has possibly been linked to Parkinson's. Nicotine is natural but extremely toxic.
Just because something is organic or natural doesn't mean it's not deadly. Do a search, plenty of scientific papers detailing these results. FWIW many organic farmers try not to use pesticides...
Yeah, I couldn't agree more. Who needs safety gear like seat belts, air bags, no smoking in restaurants, restricted pesticide use, unleaded pipes, etc. etc. etc. This "safety" doesn't guarantee someone will live to xx years old, it just increases the odds -- which is fine by me.
Actually water is a good propagator of sound, with a low attenuation compared to air or other materials. But over the length scales required for submarine detection, high frequencies would attenuated quickly compared to low frequencies (which is probably what you meant). It depends on what you define as "high frequency".
What if I stood at a corner in busy down town with a big sign that said: I know where you can get drugs!
Weed -- 34 Curt St.
Meth -- 123 Corner St.

Is this illegal? No. Is it ethical? No. The cops would thank me... Same thing with torrents. They're just pointing to locations where you can d/l the goods. And spare me your "infringement" BS, that's just a term that lets you sleep better at night.
However 1 year and $$$ seems very steep to me. Looks like they wanted to make an example of them.

Hindsight is 20/20. As you've probably read by now, most earthquake predictions are incorrect. If you lived in an area with a medium amount of seismic activity, you'd be evacuating your home quite regularly.
Whoosh! The Japanese do enjoy those things, as well as much more. Other multimedia phones do it just better than the iPhone. Most Americans are simpler than the Japanese in their techy needs.
