Slashdot uses a more insidious form of "soft-blocking" where rather than being outright blocked, certain users are redirected to beta.slashdot.org.

That's Google's play, with the Chromebooks...

It looks like a judgment was actually entered for $80m, so saying that you got an $80m judgment is accurate. Now whether you can collect on that judgment is another story. It's possible that they should have informed shareholders of the low likelihood of the judgment being paid, via an SEC filing.

Especially considering that the NKVD was disbanded in 1946...

Yes, it's visible from most of the earth, with the only exception being really far north, north of the Arctic Circle. In the northern hemisphere it's considered part of the Winter Hexagon.

But then how would you run it in a browser?

It's not required, no. At least not anymore, not sure if it used to be. The self-contained installer is sufficient to develop with.

His skills in filming exciting race scenes will allow this incarnation of Star Trek to really do justice to the pod-racing scenes.

That one's more clearly illegal because the mobile-phone bands are heavily regulated, so you can't transmit on them without a license. The wifi band is unlicensed space, which doesn't mean you can do whatever you want (as relevant here, intentional interference is still not permitted), but there is generally more leeway and violations are less clear-cut.

I wonder if Cisco happens to sell a nifty WLAN management console that would let me identify those 'rogue' APs and knock them out, by any chance?

Yes, precisely; Cisco is lobbying in favor of one of their features here. Some of their enterprise-level routers have features with names like "containment" that involve "managing" which wifi signals are available in which locations.

Yes, that remains true. The hotels are asking the FCC for permission to intentionally jam outside signals, though, which I guess would remove the need to maintain plausible deniability.

Samsung has some information about their packaging options here. But yeah, they're not SODIMM or another kind of removable socket. They're all intended for integration into a system-on-a-chip (SoC), via either surface-mount or package on package.

Incorrect. It does matter what my preferences are, and I do have a right to privacy. The camera footage should and will be redacted.

It's in public space, but not always a good idea to release publicly. For example, if a cop happens to be the first person on the scene of an accident I was involved in, I would prefer if that video is not released, unless it's necessary to a court case. If it were a medical first responder it'd actually be illegal for them to release film of me in that situation, under HIPAA. Cops are exempt from HIPAA, but that doesn't make it a good idea for them to completely ignore privacy of 3rd parties.

If it were Exxon vs. the attorney general of Alabama, I'd be hoping for a way they could both lose...
