GM has managed to garner additional positive attention by going back and fixing so many things, as well as by admitting that they should have found (or in some cases did find) the problem and identified a solution. It may have led some other car companies to do something similar, as even without GM, recalls are at record or near-record levels for several companies. Suddenly, recalls seem like the responsible thing to do and appear to help the brand image.
Articles from last year suggest that the Facebook posting was exactly what led to it. After the defense attorney saw the post by the judge, he motioned for recusal and mistrial. Slaughter was removed from the case, and soon after, the new judge declared a mistrial.

The accused was found not guilty, and looking at the details of the case, it's not hard to see why. The child was (and probably still is) severely disturbed, allegedly killing small animals, making threats against his parents, and hiding knives.
Wonder what the efficiency is like though.
I'd assume it will end up somewhat close to Fischer–Tropsch, about 50-60% max efficiency.
Intel's new SoC's reduce what you need for a basic end-user computer to a motherboard the size of a stick of gum. And that's not an exaggeration.
Oh yes it most certainly IS an exaggeration, it's 10cm by 4cm, much larger than a gum stick at 8.5cm by 2cm. Plus the Intel needs a fairly large power brick. Now some of the Android sticks are as small as a pack of gum and are low enough power that they can run off the USB port built into some TV's (if they're made for charging a phone it will work, if they're only for running a flash drive then it won't) so they really are tiny.
Shit, why not sync it to your cellphone? If it's a couple GB it'll fit on any reasonably sized phone and who leaves their phone anywhere? If you're really paranoid then encrypt it before the sync in case you somehow lose your phone.
A combination of the back yard and wallet idea, have a solar powered rPi in the back yard with an SD card acting as a backup target, there are plenty of waterproof rPi cases and solar to USB panels.
Very cool, then it should be able to smoke a plane in destination to destination times, between crowded takeoff slots and the fact that trains can do city center to city center it's no contest. The cost is obviously astronomical because of the tunneling, but I'm not sure an artificial island expansion to add air capacity would be that much cheaper, Kansai was $20B and Chbu was $7B, add in inflation and more expensive raw material costs and you're looking at probably half the cost of the train route.
They can't un-cancel Fringe, Leonard Nimoy is dead, Josh Jackson got picked up for a second season of The Affair, John Noble is doing Sleepy Hollow. They could pickup the idea and reboot the series but the head writers are all on other projects, JJ Abrams is a bit busy, only J.H. Wyman is available from the original staff so even a reboot would be unlikely to be anything like the original run.
600km/h is 3/4 of the speed of a modern airliner (
No, it's 2/3rds, Boeing 777 cruise speed is 905km/h, 747-400, 787, and A380 are slightly faster, A340 is slightly slower.
However, if you never go anywhere and have really good 4G coverage, setting your phone to 4G-only may well be a good workaround to reduce your chance of an intercept.
The current generation of Stingray devices can do LTE interception.
And each of those 23 channels can use space division multiple access (aka beam forming, aka multi-user MIMO) so if you lay things out right you can get as few as 3-4 users per channel per conversation domain which ends up providing plenty of bandwidth.
All it does is create a very slim frame up where you can't wait for another unit to arrive, because you announced you where done with the ticket.
No, this creates a reasonableness test for a dog search without probable cause. If tickets are normally handled in 5 minutes and the officer suddenly takes 45 minutes to issue a ticket and it just so happens the drug dog shows up in 44 minutes, well then that's outside the ruling. This is where video evidence will be important, defense attorneys can establish that an average stop takes X minutes, and only stops where they want to request a drug dog without cause take X + n minutes. The cops can either slow down all stops (and get less revenue), or they can stop using drug dogs without probable cause because they can't jerk people around waiting for a dog to do a no warrant search.
Seriously? You've got a 6 digit UID but you don't know that slashdot has been dealing with rights like this since it was chips & dips.
ESPN essentially is available ala cart, ESPN, AMC, and TNT (for NASCAR) are the main draws in the sling tv offer at $20/month and AMC wasn't part of the initial offering so it was basically ESPN and TNT for $20/month.
His remains were already exhumed, burnt to ash, and the ashes thrown down the Elbe by the KGB, personally I think they should have been glassified in porcelain and placed in a toilet in the main synagog in Berlin so that the jews could piss on him for the rest of eternity, but I like symbolism like that =)
So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of money? -- Ayn Rand
