Actually running and recording for this purpose shouldn't eat batteries that quickly. We're not talking requiring HD video here. As for turning them off, no issue there either, however, if the officer does not have video, his statements have no value in and of themselves without other corroborating evidence. The officer has no excuse for not having video evidence of what he says happened. The video should also have a running encrypted audio/video stamp applied in camera, to reduce the ability to edit the video. The video and audio themselves should also be encrypted, for various reasons.

So how many points do you get for that?

This is a history lookup, not a search result. No need to go outside your own browser, much less your own computer. For this reason I don't use chrome, and I turn off autosuggest on everything that can be turned off. I also don't use Chrome except for testing or to connect to Google. Frequently clearing all cookies helps as well.

Honestly, the omnibar setup may be the final stroke that blacklists all google addresses at my firewall. I've already been considering it and only having 1 machine proxy for google on intentional searches only. The price we pay for privacy and security.

By "failed" I mean failed to achieve their goal of a competitive market.

Hmm, the next guy over. I'm still looking yup, still looking damn, it's a 51K modem line.

No, the problem is Comcast extorting money so that even if their own crappy services don't make them money in the content arena, other people's better services will. It's Comcast applying the troll under the bridge tax. What's worse is they're doing it on taxpayer subsidized cabling.

Just checked - that would be at best less than 2 miles deeper, and in some cases less than a mile. So "miles" is an exaggeration.

Incorrect, unless you'd like to come up with the first ever fair regulations in this area. So far everyone that has ever tried this has failed. (Feel free to point to a success story)

Except, of course, when you dig a well. That water ends up one way or the other in the surface water supply. Or via springs (fed by underground reservoirs) Or are you one of those that believes the "No Smoking" sign in restaurants creates an impenetrable smoke barrier between the smoking and non-smoking sections? (Water does not have the same properties as oil, so whatever kept the oil locked in may not work with water, forgetting for the moment that we're cracking all that rock that holds the embedded oil/gas.)

Appropriate regulation would be to restrict ISPs to only providing connectivity services to the end-user. No ownership of content or other services of any kind. Much like electricity providers cannot also run the grid unless they're a monopoly. No one can realistically compete with them since if the generation costs for the competition are undercutting the grid provider's price, they can merely up the access fees. Regulate them there, you say? There's far too many shenanigans going on with GAAP to have that come out any differently under regulation, and far more opportunity for corruption and fleecing.

Having been through several startups at various levels, I can attest to a) always make salary the number 1 priority - salary is money in pocket. b) take whatever grants/options you can get, put them in an envelope, slip them into a file/safety deposit box with your employment contract, and forget about them until a sale happens or you're preparing to leave, because those are the only 2 occasions I've found it to be worthwhile. Startup stock is essentially a lottery, and like a lottery, mostly you're left holding worthless paper. Even founders don't always get a big payout even when the company sells.

My point, apparently implied but not stated explicitly enough was that "fusion" itself would be patented, not just the specific means of implementation.

Fusion is totally obvious, and no one has done it before as a viable means of controlled energy production. When this is accomplished, it probably will be patented.

I use them as core system and work drives. However, I also backup my systems continuously, with a pair of HDs for each one. So even if something truly catastrophic happened, I'm 99.99% likely to only be down however long it takes to get a working system hooked up to one of the backups and do a restore. I have an old Intel SSD that's 3 years old now, and still going strong in a second laptop. The HD was dying in that one. All storage needs to be cycled periodically, if it lasts 5 years, you've gotten your money's worth. If you want truly long term storage, go for the 100 year tapes or optical media, although the latter has been somewhat flaky at the 15 year mark for me.

I'm sure that "tracking" your activity comes into play on this one. Google doesn't do anything for the benefit of users, unless it also benefits their tracking ability. Chrome is just an effort to track all web activity of a user.

Anyone who is aware of CUA

and yet getting that energy into a rotational mechanical energy is where there is a large amount of loss.
