They can charge the US what they like. it would never be a penalty, but money for service.
In this case polishing the statue, making some more pictures of it in front of the chines space buggy would be far more valueable. (and adding a list of the challenger/discovery flight crew, to point out the failure of the NASA flight program)
And yes, of course make a 3d scan for a copy/reproduction of it.
And as of the outer space threaty, if someone finds out a way to make a profit from space mining..... well see Iron Sky (2012)
Wel.. NSFW, that is for sure. That kind of site is the result of the censoring of dicks in japan. So they decide to show something else there. tentacles are not forbidden.
What is relevant is that the default nanny state setting is “Default Safety“. Almost everythin is blocked in the parental cotnrol setting. I think as a parent you have to manuall add sites to that filter to have anything that resembles the internet.
I you can roll your own machine from scratch that is fine.
If however you hire some specailiast to make the machine, and he uses of the shelf components then you have added 2 modes of attack.
example: Snowden was hired by the NSA to increase the internal security of the NSA.
Why bring up that point.
If the road database is not correct, the only result is that some extra fuel is burned because the predections were wrong. En even then i think that not a lot is won this way. (compare the combusion engine efficiency of a Volt and a prius and you can see ford still has a huge gap to fill)
The driver still is fully responsible.
The fully automated prototypes still have lot of scanners and cameras to do the 100% automatic driving.
Hmm, That is not the issue. on a crowded road, there are 100 cars. If one of those drivers is not using Cruisecrontrol, and not paying attention, all the cars behind him have to break. And since the road has less capacity below 70 km/u ( ~50 mph) a traffic jam is created.
Conclusion: the cruisecontrol has to be mandatory to solve the problem.
Modern cars just need 3 extra buttons (on/off, up, down) to implement cruise control anyway. Motor control is electronic anyway. with normal cars margins and priceup those 3 buttons would cost 100 dollar/euro.
The same way as nokia thinks that they can deduct any exports of software (dodge the taxes) and pay 0,001 % of that in ireland. And suddenly this does not work. Recently the dodging of taxes by moving the profits arround between serveral countries is more and more frowned upon by politician.
The trouble is that no country can stop it first: they will loose and other tax evasion countries will smile. india is quite brave, even if the result may be that the nokia factory will be closed as result of this.
Nope, if you do "stupid" (like not securing your pc) thing they might not cover it.
That works just fine if you stay under the radar. I bet the 1000 china clones are also paying no royalties.
As soon as you reach the size of samsung/htc lawyers know how to find you and explain the judge it is only a loophole.
think about it:
SOmeone hacks your computer.
siphons away your money from your backaccount (keyboard snooping your password or something like that)
The numbers on your bank account are away.
Not different.
The bank might help you or not. You are at their mercy.
The first post messages are unsiged posts using recycled electrons.
Bitcoin uses electronic signatures to tie up the electrons and is thus wastful to the environment. Except if you use the residual heat from the miner asics to heat your house.
One of the points of a SD (or SDEX) card is that you can read it very simple in an other device. By formtitting it it in JFFS2 or YAFFS you cannot read/exchange the card in windows. Inconvinent, but technically possible.
No MS will not refuse it. It will include this in the patent license needed for a android phone.
It is suspected that MS receives 10 dollar/euro (not sure) for every sold android phone, in patent licenses.
However as part of the license it is sealed exactly what is licensed. So you cannot work arround this. And nobody is usre about this. And since fighting of a pantent is a long and expensive proces, most suppliers just pay, because is has the least risk, and most economic outcome. The FAT patent is needed to read SD card (maybe...) .
Apple decided to fight android. MS decided to earn a lot of money on it.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
