Did they have LoJack or equivalent? My friend's work computer had LoJack, got stolen, and helped the police bust a stolen computer dealer and recover a bunch of laptops.

DC district court, 4-3 split 30 years ago. Only weakly relevant to California today. But yeah, that case was about police's right to lying to victims about providing emergency service, not declining non-emergency service, which is very much

The Google cars aren't really so powerful yet. They defer to humans in anything but perfect highway conditions or a completely closed area with other cars banned. Without an accurate map, they can't drive. I think they don't even change lan

You seem confused. Private companies don't have any liquid stock to give. Options aren't the issue, just subtract salary minus share price and taxes to get net.

Thanks we have books, videos, and Internet. A lot of what people know is redundantly distributed.

That rate sounds like what many kids do who become successful adults. Kids are born learners, at a far more intense rate than that. But adults? Become a manager and wise advisor.

Really, finding a few examples of 7000k hour violin players discredits the 10k hour rules? It's an estimate, not a mission to mars. Are you also offended by astronomers getting the mass of a star, or geologists measuring the amount of oil i

Consider licensing copies of pinry to hosting companies, so users can get one hosting service with all their apps, instead of maintaining so many services with separate billing, etc.

Does AGPL have any notion of boundary between AGPL and non-AGPL software components? Something like a lesser/library GPL seems more fair: the 'LAGPL' components people use is open sourced to them, so the I/O network flaw of the [L]GPL is fi

Sort of.. We begged Dell for Linux/Ubuntu for years, and they finally give it to us.... Right after Ubuntu drove away a huge portion of their users with the Unity/Precise fiasco. Big corporations, always a lap behind.

Why would unemployment understaff business? Unemployment means all the jobs are taken. Either there is enough wealth in total, and taxes can fix the problem , or there is not enough wealth, and everyone is doomed.

It is well documented that big CEOs and Boards are a back-scratching class that siphon money from public companies with ownership too diffuse to control management. How much did the last 5 CEOs of Yahoo take home? HP?

No, the average and the count are multiplied together to determine he taxable base. The median is irrelevant and is used as a human shield by the 1%.

Clearly this nation can support a few hundred thousand chart-topping rock stars as a solution to homelessness.

You skipped a level. 2 people per room is standard housing limits in most places. A poor family should only need 2 bedrooms and a vasectomy. There's the really problem: 2 underemployed adults producing 3 or 5 underemployed-to-be children, w

Incarcerated aren't homeless. And stats about US's horrible mental.health care undermine your claim that mental illness doesn't drive homelessness.
