I believe the oldest part in my current PC is my PSU, its survived seven years and after having it reconditioned and the leads updated this year I suspect it will last a good while longer. The newest piece would be my case, I kickstarted the red harbinger cross desk and am loving it! It will take quite a while to piece together all the parts needed to fully realize its potential but that's the fun.

Sadly the NSA isn't, and creating these back doors is just creating a honey pot for those who are. Stop compromising our networks in the name of "national security".

So we have a link to a story about Company A who has exclusive license to use BigShot school's patents to make a fancy wheel and at the end of the article the reporter asks Company A whats they think about Company B's simliar product. The CEO says "Company B CEO came by 18 months ago wanted to co-lab, hung out and left, but I haven't looked at his patents" and we're slashdotting "impending legal doom", yet neither side has said boo to that nature or is there any other relevant link to anything remotely newsworthy. Where's the story?

The only thing obvious to me is your lack of information and community's need to use Roger as the scapegoat for Paul's death (hence the +4 Insightful for the idiot comment)

The short story here is that Roger was going out to shakedown the car that was at his shop being worked on for stalling issues when Paul (who was visiting for a charity event) jumped in the car they were for about a 20 minute drive. That is not to say they did not speed or were not reckless, but lets be honest here, you don't shakedown a ~350,000 supercar like a F150 do you? There's evidence of some mechanical failure but nothing that has been officially announced, just what is being discussed close to those involved.

Anyways, there is risk in everything and driving exotic cars is probably on the higher end of the spectrum and both of these fine gentlemen were well aware of those risks and embraced them.

My favorite requirement is: "Works as designed"

I dragged my feet for some time on this purchase, the console has potential, but for now the only game I've purchased for it is Lego City Undercover. The Wii U is really just a big non portable Nintendo DS. The Lego game makes great use of the gamepad, interactive map, vehicle/character catalogs, video chat, surveillance device, etc. Very likely the best Lego game so far (pretty sure we've played them all now). The problem with most of the other titles is they really don't know what to do with it, even Nintendo has yet to release a convincing title that makes it an exclusive or must have game. The saving grace is the vWii console can play all of our old titles so it still gets a fair bit of use, but the slow rate of good Wii-U releases makes me wonder; I may not bite the next time around .

No wonder Siri can never find the "carr park" I've been sayign it wrong all along...

"For those who favor the idea of Internet service as a government-run utility, what do you see as the best-case scenario for such a system?"

I'm not sure there are too many in favor of that idea anymore (recent privacy issues, corp lobbying). There would need to be an unprecedented amount net neutrality and transparency involved; which we've been promised but received little of in other government projects.

Here's the subject from 2011, however i believe the visualizations is the news this time around. http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/03/26/179257/german-politician-demonstrates-extent-of-cellphone-location-tracking

I've made a living cleaning up after these clowns (Infosys, not the government, well not directly anyways). So when the money runs out, and/or you get tired of shoveling money at them, feel free to give me ring. They excel at playing shell games with resources you just trained to proficiency or completed KT sessions with. Deadlines are often met with rehashed code form other projects or dummy code (always love digging through forms and procedures to find its hard coded to NULL or finding code that has the rare comment or variable that has another firm's name on it). When you think you can't possibly explain an idea or concept any other way they'll still come back asking you to explain it again, and again, and again....

Everything I have read on this today states "going forward" or "in the future", which would suggest that they do not plan to redact the existing program for existing games, most likely due to the cost involved to patch, or I would assume. So to answer your question, no I do not have any concrete evidence that would truly support that, though you'll note I prefaced it with "it appears".
