Well, this article's about Verizon & Sprint. Maybe you'll see me yelling about banks on a thread about banks.

Total revenue from cramming: $X
Total fees: $X * 0.65
Revenue after getting caught doing an illegal thing: $X * 0.35
With penalties like these, there's not even a risk/reward calculation. If you break the law and don't get caught, you're way ahead. But if you break the law and get caught, you're still ahead. There's literally no reason *not* to be evil.
That's really great news for Liberia. Thanks are due to all of the brave Liberians who worked tirelessly to control and treat this outbreak.
Ctrl-Shift-T will reopen all previously-opened tabs after your browser crashes. (Works in Chrome; I believe in works in Firefox as well).
When it comes to climate science, there are only have two types of studies: Those with an obvious agenda, and those that show that we're cooking the earth.

I personally asked a few students about it in a coffee shop, none of them had any clue as to what 4/16 was, they asked me if that's a new convenience store like 7/11.
This definitely happened.
Pretend it's not *you* saying that another Pearl Harbor will happen tomorrow, but a representative of, say, the Chinese government. While visiting Hawaii. Maybe somebody in the government might want to interrogate you to prevent imminent massive loss of life.
Property? They probably caused a few hundred thousand dollars in damages; I think 9/11 clocked in at around... oh you know, maybe fifty billion. No biggie.
Life? Zero people are dead because of these riots. Wish I could say the same was true for people killed by cops. Or on 9/11.
Also, monitoring for this kind of accident is paying a lot more attention to individual customer bills and usage than I necessarily want AT&T monitoring. AT&T has already established that they cooperate extensively with monitoring US communications at NSA request, especially with the notorious "Room 641A". DO we want them collecting and acting on this kind of data?
Do I want AT&T keeping a record of the bills they've sent me? I sure damn hope they are.
"Hmm this bill is 24000% as much as their previous maximum bill, yeah there's no way this could have been auto-detected!" Your dad could code that after a week's intro to programming.
Again, in what scenario? In-person tournaments should be locked down so that you can't install an aimbot. Online, you can't require every user of your game to buy one of these. And even if the online tournament in question does (and somehow the device can't be spoofed or tampered with), you just make your aimbot spit out mouse movements/clicks and redirect them back in through the hardware interface.
Right, but I don't think there's any way to detect "illegal macros" in the hardware with this. If your keyboard does multiple actions with one button press, it'll look to the device like you pressed multiple buttons in order (and, if you program it right, with a realistic human-speed delay).
I just can't understand why he'd go to Kickstarter with something that nobody wants to buy.
As I understand it, it uses hardware to try to catch software-based cheats. Anything that comes from your keyboard/mouse will be trusted. What's the use-case for this?
In one breath he cites tournaments - but shouldn't tournament organizers provide and lock-down the machines that people play on?
He also claims that cheaters were responsible for the death of DayZ and Rust - but it's not like Indie games are going to require you to buy a hardware anti-cheat device to play; and cheaters just simply aren't going to use the device.
(Also; if this adds any latency to your input, gamers won't use it. They're nerds like that.)
Ion Engines throw ions out the back at very high speeds. Those ions (matter) are the propellant, like xenon. This means you gotta accelerate all the fuel that you're bringing with you - and that it's possible to run out of fuel.
If this device works as claimed, you could conceivably convert any energy source (nuclear, solar panels, whatever) and turn that directly into acceleration, even in the void of deep space.
So, are all you skeptics paid shills, or just really passionate about your cause?
