So did shares in Tesla go up on this news? Expected increases in Prius sales?

Usually they'll use that to threaten the suspect into a plea bargin. Either admit guilt and go to jail for five years, or fight it and they'll do the best they can to send you for fifty.
What amazes me about this plea bargain system is that if you are, in fact, innocent and you 'plea bargain' to plead guilty and get off lightly aren't you purgering yourself (ie lying under oath about your guilt)?
Not that I'd expect a conversation to go like:
"If you plead guilty you get 5 years but if you fight we'll see you locked away for 50"
"But I'm innocent, wouldn't that be purgery?"
"Oh yeah true, you can go then."
If the last current build is secure why should we need continued development? The tool is out there and it works. I don't see that as a problem.
Possibly some service pack for windows will make truecrypt stop working on that platform. This could easily be engineered and 'requested' in an NSL to MS.
For Linux, less likely but perhaps some changes to the kernel could do it, less likely to be from an NSL though.
Still being used purely for counterinsurgency operations.
Only true, today, because that's the only kind of wars the US is fighting at this time. But B-52s absolutely are used in other roles than counterinsurgency.
"B-52s also played a role in Operation Iraqi Freedom," long before the insurgency even began.
"B-52 strikes were an important part of Operation Desert Storm," in which the US did not face a notable insurgency.
"B-52 had the highest mission capable rate of the three types of heavy bombers operated by the USAF in 2001."
Right, so when its not used *in* counterinsurgency operations its used to set up the conditions for a nice long running counterinsurgency operation.
Given the number of cruise missiles it carries - yes it is. If you absolutly, positively need to fuck up someone's day, a B52 is still one of the ebst weapons to do it.
Still being used purely for counterinsurgency operations.
But they aren't being used as weapons of war. They just do shit like bomb weddings. And goats.
if an engineer, who designed the B52, would have imagined, in their wildest dreams, that the B52 would still be a major weapon of war over 50 years after it was built?
I don't know that I'd call it a 'major weapon of war' these days, more counterinsurgency.
If your electricity still largely comes from fossil fuels you must not live in a very progressive country... or maybe you're not up-to-date on the latest statistics.
Feed them to the pigs, eat the pigs.
I wonder if that would work for cane toads?
My guess would be either the pigs would be poisoned by the cane toads or their meat would become poisonous.
Australian animals aren't dangerous, just scary. More Australians are killed in horseback riding accidents per year (~30) than are killed by wild animals (~10).
Australians are just knowledgeable enough to stay the fuck away from them, that doesn't mean they aren't dangerous.
Box jellies, blue ring octopus and a snake whose toxin is especially nasty to primates. Me, I stay away from Aussie, its obvious that it never wanted humans in the first place!
Nope; because of metric expansion, objects whose light we are now receiving can be further away than the product of the speed of light and the age of the universe.
So in the US they have imperial expansion? Of course, that explains a lot!
I only want the mod that disables reporting to external entities. Real safety features can stay in.
you might want just that mod but maybe you are or are not aware of the safety features that were compromised by the mod. At that point who is liable? Is it the (possibly anonymous) authors of the mod or the person who applied them to the car?
Yeah
In Soviet Russia car fines you!
It seems to me like he handled it a bit badly. Constitutionally, the federal government is not allowed to take private property for public use without just compensation.
wait, isn't that what they are doing with fines?? Taking private property (money) for public use (paying for policing) without just compensation.
Uhm, you know that US imports most of its consumer goods?
That means that the US also need to export things to have a healthy trade balance, otherwise the economy will go in the crapper (even more so than it is).
The US has been running a trade deficient since 1980's and if foreign countries stop buying US made products it's going to be a huge problem financially. In March the US trade deficit was a staggering $40 billion. See http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/balance-of-trade for current and historical data on the US trade.
In other words, saying that "the US is not particularly dependent on foreign trade" is patently wrong.
The USA 'exports' 'intellectual property' problems to the rest of the world.
Real Programs don't use shared text. Otherwise, how can they use functions for scratch space after they are finished calling them?
