This does not stop facial recognition but it does make it work less accurately. Major changes in beard style or glasses will not help a facial recognition systems accuracy.

While I agree it is financially prudent not to spend more then $25,000 on a car if you are upper middle class many people can and do without serious financial harm. I am also upper middle class and felt that i could get everything I wanted for $23,000 on the road. $30,000 is not too bad especially of the cost of ownership is lower due to lower fuel and maintenance costs. You do not need to be rich to spend $30,000 or even $50,000 on a car, it is just a matter of priorities.

Actually yes. Unless you are a smoker or moms cat's come down to the basement, the fan should last. Apple uses higher quality components then average especially fans. Some Apple fans do die but this is not common.

On laptops, for the power of the laptop, Apple fans are below average in noise. For large desktops with high end power, only the G5 would have fans louder then average. The Xeon based Mac Pro's are the same noise or less then a standard machine of the same power. Use the processor hard and the fans throttle up. The G5 on the other hand sounded like a jet engine under full load and was not acceptable for office use.

Because the CPU is a component that breaks often.

With Intel it is less likely to be a possibility. I have built low priced machines for family and friends with AM3 twin core CPU's, all of them are upgradable to six core now (and some were already upgraded to four core when those were cheap).

Problem solved.

Seriously. It is better then having nothing and it is possible the dev could actually cash it in. Bigger devs could have an overseas bank account and get payment into that. Smaller devs could get products delivered to them internationally. It does not solve every problem, but it is better then no payment.

Even a properly blacklisted iPhone 5 is worth well over $200 for parts or for export into an area where blacklisting does not apply. To slow this type of violent crime the police and courts need to treat it more seriously. It is easy to spot an iPhone 5 and you would be hard pressed to find quickly an easier way to steal $200. Few used car radios or even flatscreen TVs are worth that on the hot market.

People who violently steal a cellphone should be put in jail the FIRST TIME for at least a year maybe more. In Maryland that is certainly not the case now. If you do not use a gun in the crime you probably won't go to jail even when caught with good evidence. The police also loath to investigate where a stolen phone is from GPS tracking information. They should do this at least in some conditions such as a well documented theft.

A million times zero is still zero.

That is because you never drove it slower. You might get better mpg at 60 then at 55 in a few cars due to odd gearing but you are not going to get your best mpg at 80 due to headwind as drag increases greatly above 65.

When the guy who broke into my house steals it from me, I don't want it to fire. In a confrontation where my gun is taken from me, I don't want it to fire. If the mechanism was 99% reliable and reasonably durable I would want it.

They paid the most because their market is undeserved for high end games.

Yes.
