The songwriter point is a strange one. I don't think its a feature or result of today's commercialism. For example, see Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman -- the "Every song you love was written by the same two guys" of the 195

Sorry, I wrote that only with experience of the European market and none of the US. The Euro NCAP car safety assessment mandates this kind of collision avoidance for a 5-star rating. According to their website, half of the cars tested this

This not the effect of Autopilot, Tesla calls it 'Automatic Emergency Braking'. Most modern cars come with similar collision avoidance systems. Volvo introduced it first(?) in 2008.

Android will have good security just once they've added more stapled-on legs. Security doesn't come from engineering and good design, it comes from adding more things!

Did you read the link you posted? Because it covered the major mismanagement which killed four people and directly resulted in renationalisation of UK rail infrastructure. It's also worth noting that, for the UK rail system, most passe

An appeal is free, merely filling in a form and waiting for the PCN adjudicator to make a judgement.

You're covering the available efficiencies in the use of existing road network capacity, and assuming that demand is static. In fact, I think that if car ownership is cheaper, journeys can be made by anybody, and the experience is less

Source? My understanding was that some iCloud account login endpoints (associated with Find My iPhone) didn't have any rate limiting for password failures, and this allowed brute force to work for targetted accounts.

Note, this is only because the C++ standard grandfathered in changes to the standard library in C99. It does not actually allow you to write compliant C99 and compile it.

They're taxed according to CO2 emissions rather than NOx (which is measured for European and Californian emissions requirements, and the subject of this dishonesty). There's no reason the same method couldn't be used to falsi

RSA and ECC have similarly-shaped common implementation strategies; just the underlying field arithmetic is different. You have a secret input (an exponent in RSA, or scalar in ECC) and work through it bit by bit, doing different operation

I have the same problem, having an jbloggs@gmail.com-format address. It seems there's one lady who apparently lives in Utah and is unable to accurately tell anybody her email address. I've received several sets of flight bookings

I do wonder about the logic of collecting the email addresses of interested parties, then sending them 2000 and 8000 word (respectively) essays. Do people actually read and value such long emails? Do you not lose a bunch of on-the-fence u

I thought that if the split does happen all existing coins will be spendable on both sides of the split. Does that not count as 'serious money' on the line?!

'Get into a contract' is a weird euphemism. What you really mean is 'you can get an iPhone 6 for $200 if you ignore the actual cost'.

The bit you don't cover is where you repeatedly submit patches (in my case, for example, to fix documentation and improve testing) which are ignored.

It's kind of bizarre that chrome goes to exceptional lengths to sandbox things into lots of mutually untrusting processes, then parses network input outside of that protection.

This announcement narrows down the proximate cause of the bug to changes introduced in the 1.0.1 line. Assuming this is a defect in a new feature (rather than a bugfix which went awry) that means there's a fairly limited number of culp

Probably to drive the memory LCD. The drive timing in the datasheet looks pretty tight (about 2.2MHz), and bit banging at that rate will leave the uC unable to much else during a screen update. Ideally, you want to make use of the STM32F4
