[The Plaintiff] also sues on behalf of the United States of America in the nature of a private attorney general, under theories of a derivative action, as well as a third party beneficiary of any relevant agreement[s] Defendant Snowden executed and other obligations he breached.
Anytime you see the phrase "Private Attorney General", run... (it's one of those freemason-of-the-land catchphrases).
3. Upon information and belief, Plaintiff, and the American people he represents have a recognized right to seek derivative and direct and indirect relief against officials who have a duty to act under the extraordinary facts of this case and recoup for the United States Government, the Plaintiff and all others similarly situated.
Yeaahhh... uh-huh, sure.
The complaint is actually signed by a practicing attorney. I'm shocked it wasn't pro-se.

Or the car gets pushed an update file while you're doing 50mph, stores it for later, and installs it at some point when it's stopped and charging.
(Other options also include a polling mechanism where the car phones home for updated periodically when stopped, or a combination of the two where they push an "update is availible" flag, which signals the car to phone home and download/install it once it's stopped/charging).

But then Places like Comcast pay nearly minimum wage for the poor guys that do video conversion and upload, so if done late in the day the chance that they will just copy and call it done is high.
Sounds like that's the place to attack then - hand the minimum wage guy a USB stick and a bag of money.

You mean like IAM Roles for EC2 which makes credentials show up on your instance and the SDK uses them automatically? And which launched in 2012?
Seriously, it's as easy as S3Client s3 = new S3Client(); and the SDK does the rest. If devs are still hardcoding credentials, I have no sympathy.

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C37AZXK is $11 with free 2-day shipping for prime members (US). It's a cheap DV-B TV dongle using a chipset that has a "debug mode" where it spits out the raw RF data, and wide ranging tuning chip that makes it usable as a general purpose SDR reciever (known as an RTL-SDR). Windy's mentioned using one on her blog in many of her other posts.
I just got one this week, and it's been awesome to play with. Check out rtlsdr.org for more information about how to set it up, and rtl-sdr.com for a blog of cool projects you can do with it.

Because it will encourage you to brush more often? I'm good about brushing in the morning, but I'm very inconsistent at night (or consistent about not brushing).
If I had one of these, I'd keep it in my pocket and brush after every meal, snack, or peice of candy, or whenever my mouth felt I could use it. There'd be a big benefit in going from once or twice a day to 10-15 times a day.

It's not the streaming providers who are forcing the differentiated content, it's the content owners (such as CBS).
They don't want a single streaming provider to gain too much market share, because that provider would be able to dictate terms (like Apple/iTunes does with music). So, they enter into exclusive contracts with different providers for different subsets of their catalogs, to ensure things are spread out over the market.

It's not just that there are 7000+ districts, but they all have their own rules. Back in 2010, Washington had an extra tax on candy. However, Kit-Kat bars were exempt and charged at a normal food tax rate. Why? Because they happened to contain flour and were considered a baked good. Imagine trying to handle thousands of different jurisdictional rules across the millions of products Amazon carries. It'd be insane!
