Caribbean islands too. The smaller islands run diesel generators, which is the most expensive way to generate power. Cars on those islands also travel at low speed and need limited range.
Tesla should be able to sell a lot of cars, solar panels, and batteries there.
Unless you've ever lived in a big city and commuted regularly by train, you wouldn't be aware of how silent riders are in rush hour, especially morning rush hour when the trains and stations are most crowded. A single person making small talk on their phone annoys everyone.
The mistake this guy made was running his jammer continuously. If you have jammer and want to target one person on a cell phone, you only have to momentarily switch on the jammer when the other end of the call is talking. When the rider is chatting, you leave the jammer off, when the other end is talking, you turn it on. Within 30 seconds, the caller will give up. Using this approach, your jammer is only on for a few seconds at a time.
Partnering "with MIT" is very different from partnering with "anything from the top three floors of the MIT Media Lab". Instead of doing serious R&D, they try to recreate for investors what you see in 10 seconds of a James Bond film when he walks through Q's lab.
One of my graduate TA's did just that, 30 years ago. He compiled notes and study guides made by himself and other TA's, imported them into TeX, invented a publisher, hired a printer, and sold thousands of books. The hardest part was writing the book, not publishing and printing it. And this was all in the early 1990's, before the Internet made its way outside academia. Today, publishing and printing is even easier than it was at that time.
If you've ever seen these lunar prototypes up close, you'd understand how it could get sold for scrap. Everything that was "space age" in the 1960's looks primitive today.
The benchmarks for the trusty old i5-2500k are still 60-70% of the i5-6500. So from early 2011 to late 2015, CPU performance has gone up by a whopping 50%.
Moore's law is about transistor count, not performance, but even by that's only 10% higher in Skylake compared to Sandy Bridge.
The Space Station (or "waste station", as we used to call it) helped kill the Superconducting Super Collider by taking away research dollars in 1992-1993.
Manned space flight is ridiculously expensive. The SSC, though greatly less glamorous, would have done a lot more for our understanding of the universe. So I don't see funding the ISS as an accomplishment.
Yes, your local or state regulator or the FCC can help. Submit an inquiry/complaint to a regulatory authority, and they basically log it and forward it to the carrier's legal/compliance department for resolution. Those departments have a company mandate to make trouble go away.
That's irrelevant, as the justice system is not to be a method for taking revenge, but to make society a better place to live in, with less crime.
Reality is never that simple. Justice systems have multiple inputs and must serve a variety of needs. Some of those are political, and some of them are providing revenge.
The problem is apathy, not incompetence. The site (or more accurately, the middleware powering the site) was probably built for IE5/6, which was not at all uncommon ten years ago when "everyone" (not literally, but I know you know what I mean) had IE. The software did the job for so long that the people in government let it run and turned a deaf ear to the distress it caused for constituents. It's easier to tell constituents to go find IE9 than to upgrade the system. They also fall into the "the perfect is the enemy of the good" trap, telling themselves that they don't need to just fix the IE problem, but they need to totally modernize the whole system including the backend and business process.
If the government had a magic button that could fix the problem, they probably would have pressed it. But no such button exists (unless you count injecting the X-UA-compatible tag), and modernizing the system is a lot more cost and effort than that.

India has the same lopsided gender ratio, along with an infinite-child policy, and they doesn't seem to be getting into a lot of wars.

Didn't slave ship makers have this all figured out two hundred years ago?
Sounds like a very reasonable and level-headed judge, making him completely ineligible for appointment to a higher court.

If Chromecast required all devices to be on the same SSID (CCSID?), then how would wired devices work? They don't have a SSID.
Apologies become extra-backhanded when they use the royal "we", avoiding any confusion over personal responsibility.
Does it support SSLv2 and weak ciphers like NULL? or is it hardened out of the box?
That industry line was pretty clearly crossed when Apple (Computers) got into the iTunes business.
And 45C is not extreme for Delhi. It's like reaching 98F in New York City. It's hotter than usual, but you can expect it to happen once a year.
What's the breakdown of the other 70%? Are they mostly prank calls?
I think only CompuServe gave out all-numeric email aliases. And post-Heartbleed you might want to change your Yahoo password.
I'm just so glad I havent cracked any stupid jokes regarding violence, drugs or terrorism in the last 1-2 years in any facebook messages or comments.
Next time you enter Miami they're going to make you log into your Slashdot account, read that post, and send you to Guantanamo.
Do you physically snap the burner laptop in half after each use, like on Breaking Bad?

A large amount of the ACLU's activity is related to "social justice", which means the ACLU does support many forms of reverse-discrimination.
The tax rate on his salary was 40% (marginal). The tax rate on his capital gains is 15%. He could even come out ahead.

Father? no. Godfather? sure why not.
