This means that water misters used at Dollywood will now be banned as they emit chemicals (H2O) into the air with the express intention of affecting the temperature.

This movie got very little TV ad time and didn't do well in the theaters but is one of my favorite movies. It is directed by Luc Besson (writer of Lucy, Taken movies, Fifth Element, Colombiana). The soundtrack is great including Space Oddity by David Bowie, A Million On My Soul by Alexiane, Jamming by Bob Marley and a lot of original music by Alexandre Desplat. (Big Market is short but fantastic!)

If you get a chance, watch it.

I have been using the LG V10 for over 2 years. It has a notch for the front facing camera in the upper left corner of the screen. The screen to the right of the notch is used for notifications and system use such as clock, WiFi/BT/Data icons. The only thing Apple do was move it to the center and allow applications use of the area to the left and right of the notch. (Idiotic idea if you ask me as now apps break if not specifically designed to account for the notch. Amazing how Apple invented something 2 years after it had already been on the market.

Note: Android apps continued to work when the notch was introduced on LG phones. Apple's apps broke when the iPhone X came out.

I love paper ballots. Now let's make better readers. Suggestions for different designs:

1. Standalone reader that can be placed such that the exit of reader #1 can be placed next to the entrance of reader #2 (etc...) for immediate recount during elections.

2. Standalone reader that has 3 scanner heads. All 3 heads must read each ballot the same to exit to the verified bin. Any differences and the ballot is kicked back out the entrance to be attempted again. Voter is confident that if the ballot is accepted, the votes have been properly counted.

Any suggestions for secure ways to transfer vote totals from polling locations to state election headquarters?

With the huge recall in airbags, I have not heard of one replaced airbag rendering a car inoperable requiring the owner to pay to have someone diagnose and repair the incompatibility. How many times have we heard of a computer security patch causing a BSOD or computer crash because of bad or incomplete testing from the manufacturer?

Some people wait and verify that a security patch doesn't end up as the next story on Slashdot rendering thousands of PCs unusable because "Oh, the patch seems to be incompatible with [fill-in-the-blank]".

Why should the US and EU regulators reap the big fines when it is the buyers that suffer? Who is going to want to buy those cars that have issues and may not pass inspection? I understand that VW might be forced to fix those cars, but face it, they mucked with the test because to get the performance they advertised they had to fudge the emissions. Now the end buyers have to deal with a car that either passes the emissions with poor performance or pollutes with the better performance. That isn't what the buyer paid for.

They should be forced to buy back all the cars for what the buyers paid or give a large settlement payout to each buyer to cover the fact the worth of the car just plummeted because nobody wants to buy someone else's problems.

"Protection of user data is critically important to us and we are always looking for ways to make it even more secure."

Like the use of a simple robots.txt file which should have been in place on day -1?

So the article is somewhat suggesting we buy our ink from China to print money? The same country that keeps trying (successfully some times) to hack our businesses and government? It isn't like they would print any counterfeit US money themselves, right? I'm guessing they would put lead in it like they do all the toys and other crap we get from them.

Buy American!

Valet mode can only be set when car is off. When enabled, as soon as the key is inserted the video starts recording with no audio. The screen flashes with the consent to be recorded message and a consent button to enable audio recording as well as enabling the car to be started. If the valet doesn't press consent, he can not start the car.

Any other method cannot guarantee that the valet was aware of the recording, especially since a different valet may retrieve the vehicle.

IMHO and IANAL, an imminent threat where they would need to search the phone would be if the phone contained info on a bomb about to go off or info on an abduction where the abducted person is expected to be killed or harmed. Having drugs on the suspect or a suspect speeding is not an imminent threat.

Let's see how well the paint job stands up to and repels the remains.

... that we have to read a Florian Mueller's post to get this information rather than be able to read Groklaw's PJ giving us the low-down. You know though that Apple MUST be trying to overcharge if even he states: "... I face the first situation in which I don't merely disagree with Apple but am rather wondering whether it has lost its mind."

We miss you PJ !!!!!

I have seen enough of the local reports to know this is not the case. And interview with one witness says as soon as the man was shot, he gurgled up blood and fell backward into the witness, so I suspect that witness was close enough to see what happened. And if you were holding popcorn and get shot, see what happens to the popcorn. I'm sure he wanted to place it down nicely but he never got the chance.

The local reports state that the movie hadn't even started yet when this happened.

First, IANAL.

27602. (a) A person shall not drive a motor vehicle if a television receiver, a video monitor, or a television or video screen, or any other similar means of visually displaying a television broadcast or video signal that produces entertainment or business applications, is operating and is located in the motor vehicle at a point forward of the back of the driver's seat, or is operating and the monitor, screen, or display is visible to the driver while driving the motor vehicle.

Key words are "IS OPERATING". If the Google Glasses were off or he did not see them ON then the ticket should be thrown out. According to what I read the monitor must be turned ON and visible to the driver to be a violation.
