If you read the article you would know that this will infact create vampires that NO LONGER fear the sun. You stated the reverse. Vampires that fear the sun are not news.

State blocks the sales of a companies product. Company employs a newsworthy amount of common sense and does not put 5 billion dollars into the state by building a mega factory for a product that is blocked in the state it would be constructed in. It also fails to contribute the jobs that would be needed to build and staff the mega factory to the overall employment of that state.

I for one am thrilled. I think bad things should always happen to vindictively stupid people and then be thoroughly reported in the news. Thinking of all of the non-Tesla cars not being bought by all the people not employed building or staffing the factory not constructed in Texas makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Thinking of the talented, hardworking, unemployed people in texas who having suddenly found themselves deprived of this opportunity can suddenly divert their time to forming a lynch mob to go after the legislators responsible. I'd PVR that lynching when it make it to the news and watch it on loop.

Why aren't these clearly genius level Law Enforcement Professionals making the far more reasonable request that the government require anyone intending to commit a crime in the near and/or far future to apply-for and obtain a licence to commit crime?

Criminals can anonymously (you cant make it too easy) submit something akin to a flight plan prior to committing a crime (otherwise how else will police be able to pursue victim-less crimes) and after a crime occurs police can call all the licensed criminals in the vicinity of crime to ask if they were the perpetrator.

AUDIT
Console section that reports all user and system actions. Used to monitor abuse of RCS.

Even the manual assumes the system will be abused. Any doublespeak marketer would have changed the work 'abuse' to 'use' .
Obviously they are already marketing the system to be abused be governments/law enforcers.

CurrentC is basically trying to side step the issue of retailers needing to update security for PCI Compliance and PCI DSS. PCI compliance is effectively a consumer
protection that requires retailers to maintain an adequate level of security in all of their systems that handle credit or debit transactions.

It incentivizes security by placing 100% responsibility for fraud on retailers that fail to provide the minimum pci compliant level of security. It also prohibits the use of EOL operating systems that are no longer security patched such as WindowsXP and mandates firewalls, antivirus and other security.

But CurrentC put all liability on the consumer and completely bypasses the penalties and merchant liabilities associated with PCI DSS. Credit and debit cards provide a buffer of security and dispute resolution between consumers and merchants but CurrentC wants to go straight into people bank accounts.

This is a hot sweaty nightmare of bad. I dont think anyone is realizing how nearly impossible it is to reverse a fraudulent bank transfer.

Having said that I can see where banks could provide protection to consumers by creating consumer accounts that require individual consumer authentication prior to any ACH transfer from the account. However Banks dont provide that level of security to non-business account customers.

My prediction is that within 6 months of going live the amount of fraud will force the FTC to step in. I personally think credit card companies are the devil but CurrentC is worse.

Tesla could always attempt to burn the dealer down the dealer industry to spite the dealers.

Massive financial incentives would be the best way. I would love to own a Model S. But really what I can afford is more in the price range of a 3 year old Compact Subaru or a Ford. My financial capacity determines my purchase choice. Therefore if Tesla wanted to spite the auto dealers that don't want to play fair: Telsa could also choose not to play fair. They could generate incentives to reduce the opportunities for dealers to make a sale to a customer that really actually wanted a Telsa. Those incentives could come right out of Tesla's so far as I've seen unused marketing budget. Threatening a dozen heavily subsidized customers per banned-state would be a pretty evil start.

Effectively operating off of a theoretical page out of the art of war. Any sale Tesla in a given state generally denies an autodealer a sale; which denies them funds to fight their irrational war against the future.

In hunting terms its called poaching. Unchecked poachers frequently cause significant ripple effect in herd populations. Likewise the Model S lack much if the service issues that cause people to replace or trade in their cars thus denying many future dealer sales.

I agree with the point it seems like your trying to make but I'd like to point out that the state and municipal police dept arent buying ANY armored vehicles or military weapons. They are actually being given surplus assault vehicles and military weapons for FREE. They still have to buy ammunition and additional magazines though.

Take an MRAP to a metal recycler and junk it to pay for the cameras.

A simple motion and heat sensor should prevent passengerless cars carrying bombs. This would effectively make driverless cars with remote slowdown command easier for LEO's to disable than the drivered variety.

Due to the layout of my city and neighborhood I am regularly a motorist and pedestrian. Is a pedestrian I find the countdown timers to be exceptionally helpful in deciding to cross or not.

As a motorist I find them even more helpful as in my city we are subjected to random length yellow lights. It is never my intention to run a yellow light however in some intersections if you stop for a yellow light you may find yourself sitting at the yellow for up to 15 seconds. When the random length yellows were initially silently implemented there were a rash of rear-end collisions for vehicles stopping at intersections.

I would propose that drivers are entitled to more information rather than less. Drivers should see a countdown for the length of yellow lights as well as Green and Red lights.

This would allow motorists to make educated decisions. Currently drivers compelling their vehicles in a given direction hoping that the deities responsible for fate happen to be in their favor.

The additional information should come at the cost of zero tolerance. Currently we refer to collisions as accidents inferring that fault may not lay with the motorist.
Giving drivers more information should make them fully responsible. Run a red light = lose your license. Run a red and hit someone = go to jail.

Most people I've ridden with who seem compelled to run red lights seem to do so in an effort avoid intersections that dont perform the function of directing traffic but rather provide the function of blocking traffic:. IE light signals that sit red or turn RED with no opposing traffic or pedestrians. Get rid of broken intersections that punish people for obeying traffic signals and new drivers wont learn bad habits/existing drivers wont have bad habits reinforced.

So these guys apparently had no training on proper backup policies and procedures.

This is definitely a training issue. Clearly no one taught them how to do proper backups or even what a proper backup policy should look like.

I feel bad for them, but at the point that they have done nothing to protect themselves I cannot bring myself to feel too bad.

Why does no one take their backups offsite anymore or backup to a NAS device that backs itself up to something that can be taken offsite?

Backups Backups BACKUPS!!!

He really could hire multiple private armies and stage an invasion just to make a token appearance @ their Kangaroo court. But inbetween the border crossing of his choice and the prosecutor's office there is likely thousands of iranian troops that are unlikely to surrender.

In this particular situation what did anyone really expect? All loopholes aside the guy was wrongfully imprisoned. Many of his supporters admit the guy was a bit of an a-hole. I cant imagine him not being pissed about what happened and wanting a little compensation. And everyone likes a little righteous retribution. Especially a-holes.

You should always ask what else do they do a complete shite job on.

Jeffrey Gundlach has a god give right to be a complete uninformed tool and has every right to loudly make proclamations that reveal this fact to all that hear him.

Just as I have every right to take his outburst of stupid as a warning.

I need to contact my portfolio manager ASAP and make sure Bond manager Jeffrey Gundlach isnt closely associated with anything in my portfolio.

I read through the final ruling. Its not a ruling. its a sidestep that effectively undermines the executive orders of the president. Each government agency is basically saying that even though executive order 13661 requires them to in no way do any business or pay any money to the russians that they have decided even though Rogozin controls the manufacture of russian rockets that the assorted government agencies assert that they have to first investigate the company in question and they'll let the court know when they get around to it. probably never.

load of crap

If a woman (OR MAN) is in a shelter for the purpose of protecting themselves from physical abuse the original act of which was psychologically scarring then the folks in the shelters need to be teaching those being sheltered some common sense. Stop using socal networking.

I have had multiple female friends and co-workers who have been properly traumatized by stalkers. The absolute first thing I tell them is to close their damn facebook account and wipe themselves off the internet. Social networking is the defacto #1 enabler for stalkers and pedophiles.

TOR is all well and good. But start with common sense and save people from themselves by training people not to use social networking.

In the old days shelters mainly had to worry that some douchebag would publish their address. Or one of the women at the shelter would tell an untrustworthy friend where they were.

Now you have people who nearly post their schedules online in the form of facebook posts, tweets, and foursquare checkins. I would hope the first thing they do is teach people not to enable their perpetrators. Stop using social networking.
