The only charge lodged thus far. Frequently on complicated prosecutions they'll file lesser charges and hold the big guns in reserve while they investigate more, making sure their evidence and logic for the trial will stand up. These charges at least got an indictment and arrest and evidence seized, which is what they need for an opener. It also opens up resources to make further investigation easier.

An excellent use of setting up that additional layer. Until the gov't tries to ban routers from having that functionality.

that you would have to pay Disney for three seasons to watch the TV series BEFORE seeing the movie. THEN you pay for the movie. They've already made their money back. This crap about having to watch TV series for multiple seasons (sometimes) BEFORE the movie comes out is absolute shit. Clearly I am no longer a True Fan.

Myself, I watched the first season and gave up on it, later cancelling my Disney subscription. My wife wants to see it, I'll see The Grey Men at the same time then sit around and read on my iPad while I wait for her to get out. Or maybe see Sheep Detectives again if the times are commodious - that movie was a blast!

Not only are the cameras spreading all over town here, I went to buy some stuff at Home Depot and found them at the entrances to their lot. So I turned around to go to Lowe's, and found the same thing there. Did a little digging and found that they have 'a problem with shoplifting' and this is their solution. So I guess I'm taking my business to Ace and Harbor Freight and some other locals.

I'm estimating that my plate is getting tagged at least a half-dozen times a day.

He was talking about why he never accepts USB drives from anyone. He had two security specialists on the video, and they demonstrated some interesting things. One of the USB drives they had they challenged people at a conference with it, offering a fabulous prize if they got into their "secure/defended" Windows system. Several took them up on it, and it always got in. The trick? The USB drive identified itself as a keyboard rather than a flash drive and it was always accepted by the system. It immediately installed a key logger and it was off to the races.

This Bitlocker exploit, coupled with a disguise as a keyboard, seems to me would bypass the pin requirement if the computer was booted.

You think it will all be carried by the nice shiny Amazon vans that you see in major cities? I live in a rural area, actually on the top of a mountain in a national forest. The only time I see an Amazon delivery van is when I drive to El Paso or another sizable city. Here, it's all sent out and delivered by local contractors. So I'm standing in my kitchen and see a strangers car pull into my driveway and left thinking 'whodafuk is that?' and then they drive away and I have to go on a package hunt because they never place it at my front door.

And then there's all the stories of these private contractor's cars being infested with bed bugs or roaches. No thanks!

But they don't cancel the bill that requires them to fully-fund their retirement plan. That's the thing that's killing the USPS. No one does that, especially no other government agency.

I was a network admin at a police department back in the '90s. I had three fake passwords taped to the bottom of my keyboard, they didn't do anything. Sadly, no one ever remarked on them.

Eliminating gender/color discrimination. Women get treated so badly in medical situations, even by women doctors, as do people of color, being accused of drug-seeking and such.

There's also the problem of doctors not being as widely educated as a computer can be: case in point my wife. My wife has constant shortness of breath problems. Oncologist: you have cancer, get over it (she does, but that's not the problem). Lung doctor: you have asthma, use your inhaler (it doesn't help. Cardiologist: lose weight (she can't exercise because of it). Finally sees an aerospace doctor: You don't have enough carbon dioxide in your system, it's a treatable condition. And she's doing better.

Doctors can't know everything, you'd hope they could do better though.

Pretty soon you're talking real money.

I haven't bought an American Big Three car in over 40 years, but my two Isuzus, my Subaru, and my Toyota have all been made here. I'd love the opportunity to buy a Chinese car: not saying that I would buy one, but I'd like to look one over. I don't know that they'll do better than my Subaru in the snow.

Amen!

New car dealerships aren't remotely small business owners! Those are huge, and very profitable chains. One such chain is largely owned by Berkshire-Hathaway. Maybe your used car lots are small business owners, I doubt they were consulted on this particular issue.

I used to work IT as a civilian at a police department, and whenever I had to go out to the training academy I always spent time at the armory (for fun and to blow off time before going back to my office). One day I go in and there's a couple of boxes of donuts on one of the work tables, and the sergeant tells me to help myself. I ask him why the donuts and he explains that if someone ever uses the word clip when they're supposed to use magazines, people are supposed to shout out "DONUTS!", and that person has to bring in donuts the next day.

The IT office that I worked in I was the only civvie with three officers, current and retired. We were talking about guns one day and Bruce mentioned a clip. Me and Bob (detective) immediately shouted out "DONUTS!" and Bruce looked confused while we laughed. We then explained, and he was a good sport and brought in donuts the next day.

Even without the warhead, it'd leave a heckuva mark.
