The summary mentions the screens activating when a driver "checks over their head to switch lanes." Are new Jaguars and Rovers able to leap up or fly or something? I don't understand how or why you might check over your head to begin with, and especially in the context of making a lane change.

Please don't equate Greenpeace assholes with everyone younger than you. Most "millenials" are not trampling your lawn or ruining Debian. Do you care to make up any more stereotypes?

...and as soon as they are inside the cage we need to blow it up. Then maybe actual, reasonable environmentalists can make some headway. Extremists are of no use to anyone, even if they claim to be on your side.

While I envy their goals, Greenpeace are nothing but a bunch of assholes whose antics are counterproductive. The court system is not the only way to go about protecting wildlife and the environment, I get that. But the inflammatory things they say and their repeated criminal actions not only make them incapable of affecting any meaningful change, but instead they galvanize those they accuse of wrongdoing and hurt the abilities of reasonable people to carry on the mission. Every time I see Greenpeace in the news I can't help but wish they'd just go away, so the rest of us might be able to talk some reason into the polluters and habitat destroyers of the world. With them present it is impossible to convince many on the wrong side of environmental issues, because Greenpeace are so needlessly combative and wrong-headed.

You obviously don't understand North Korea. Despite their terrible economy, widespread hunger, and stunning lack of technology in the hands of citizens, they still have an active standing army of over one million people, and count many, many more as available reserves. "Defense" spending is big there, so if they decide to hack, they can hack, and they will put government resources behind with little trouble because they have no fear of internal or national backlash. I doubt North Korea publishes accurate statistics, but it is a safe bet that they spend a much higher proportion of their GDP on defense (which includes hacking, propaganda, and internal oppression) than most countries. Militarily they are relatively weak on a per man basis due to most units being woefully equipped (and fed), but when they get the notion to do something (think nukes), they do it.

This may not have been North Korea, and I have no idea really, but one can't assume it wasn't them because simply because they are poor and uber-wacky.

I don't know about that. When the Empire moves into your neighborhood, you don't have a lot of choice - if it comes down to supporting my family or taking the moral high ground and not taking a job with a company with a dubious past, I'll have that direct deposit form signed in no time flat. I view huge corporations the same way I do governments and their armies - I support the individual soldiers even when they are called on to do unspeakable things as a group.

It's hard out here for a pimp.

Good God, so I'm not the only one who both remembers Sony hacking their own customers, and hates to see their employee data stolen? I feel for the workers, but I don't give a damn about that horrible company.

Actually, it may have been all of those things, including personal crap.

Clearly this was not done by someone in his mom's basement with a 40Mbit Time Warner connection to his laptop. It was perpetrated by someone with considerable resources and a considerable ax to grind. Going after employees but stealing everything related to them is not cool, but screw Sony, they kind of had it coming.

Choose your target carefully, of course..

Remember how Sony used to hack *us* with rootkits, they phoned home without informing us, escalated the copy protection war, and then lied to us as if we were stupid? While I am not a proponent of ever exposing data related to workers, I sure didn't shed a tear when I heard Sony got mega-hacked.

I know there's a Soviet Russia/Sony hacks you joke in there somewhere.

No, it should be pretty hot down in there. But not liquid.

No, if you're talking about the sample mentioned in the article, that is not even from Earth to begin with, so it can not even be safely assumed to be identical to lower mantle material. Some meteorites may be similar, but until we examine actual mantel bridgmanite we're not truly confirming anything. So as far as we know, there has still been no mantle bridgmanite found on Earth.

Simple: shotgun. Or find the kid operating it, punch him in the eye, and take the controller away from him, or tell his mom he was spying on your wife.

"Tomorrow" doesn't mean tomorrow, and Christmas presents will be unwrapped in less than a month, so waiting for prices to drop may not be an option for a lot of people. Time is not your friend when you are working with a set timetable. Got a more helpful answer?
