Is this a fact? It seems like the cells are so valuable that they are selling multiple tiers of battery so they will have a lower cost model. There's real money to be saved in not putting 20,000Whr in the car.

So-called smart guns are not a workable idea, because the technology available is not capable of producing such a thing. First, all biometric modalities, including finger print and palm print scanners, have a non-zero false accept rate (FAR

The AMA and other relevant organizations have been turning a blind eye to the torture of POWs by the United States. To date, no doctor who has tortured prisoners at Guantanamo Bay has been sanctioned, where they should rightfully be strippe

What's the incident response protocol for illegal intrusion by a government agency? These crimes are never investigated or prosecuted, so what can you do except remove them from your systems and keep it quiet?

Does this represent a viable Google service, or is it just another perk for those living in San Frangoogle to be subsidized by the electronic serfs that are Google's users?

It recently became known that the forces that would do evil encourage and exploit situations like the one that occurred with Bitkeeper. I don't suggest that Bitkeeper was complicit with any such scheme though.

That story takes me back. With today's increased paranoia, one wonders if the Bitkeeper fiasco was just a smokescreen to obscure malicious additions to the kernel.

It's not possible that Microsoft and google are using h1bs correctly. Anyone who says there is simply no US person skilled enough to fill a position is lying through their teeth.

That is far from the original boot beep. PCs were beeping when turned on long before Macs ever existed.

I would suggest that the vast majority of employment law disputes are legitimate cases of a human being abused by a business. In contrast, most software patent disputes are simply businesses extorting other businesses because they can, rath

Companies should lose discrimination / disability / wrongful termination lawsuits. HR's purpose is to get businesses off the hook for these crimes. Maybe you're thinking about it as an actual or theoretical startup owner

It's odd that we still "stamp" passports, allowing border guards to see what countries you have visited in the past. This information should not be available to any authorities by any means, but especially not appended to you

Anyone who ever thought detonating a nuclear warhead in space was a good idea was a moron, plain and simple. It doesn't matter how good of an engineer or general they were, they were of low intelligence and low morals.

Simply arresting all of the TSA employees would go a long way toward making air travel safer. Why aren't TSA employees required to register as sex offenders?

The product is untenable, as it is impossible to guarantee that the message is not copied when it is viewed. No amount of pleading or threatening will change that.
