Canâ(TM)t help but think of how the Voyager probe went rogue trying to follow its instructions.

Or maybe this is more like HAL 9000 feeling that humans were getting on the way of its mission.

Weâ(TM)ve had speculative fiction showing us how this might happen. Now we see it in real life. Perhaps we humans will learn in time.

Drop the net neutrality and replace it with a hefty fee to provide service in the state. And waive the fee for providers who voluntarily agree to rules that are remarkably similar to the Net Neutrality rules.

OMG, testing it on the DC airspace?

Because thatâ(TM)s clearly the simplest and safest place to test this

In reality, itâ(TM)s probably so HE can see it in action

I will note that the bravery shown to risk oneâ(TM)s life to save others was in the far past. Although many in the military still follow that ethos, many others do not.

Admittedly most of us have never flown these aircraft and do not know what can be done to control the plane after a bird strike, but was ejecting from the plane and allowing it to crash into a populated area the best choice at that moment? Flying low does reduce your options and time to react. However many a plane has landed safely after a bird strike.

It would be nice for the public to be informed of any investigation into best practices and what the pilot ought to have done in this case. It may be that ejection was the right call. Please let the public know

When I see the promises and even demonstrated effects of red light therapy I am reminded of the museum exhibits of the âoedisprovedâ sham medicine of generations past. And prominently displayed was large red lights. And many of the claimed benefits that were ridiculed are exactly what we find today.

When I was a child (1960â(TM)s and 1970â(TM)s) we were told very clearly that acupuncture was a scam. Wellâ¦

Thatâ(TM)s why I donâ(TM)t dismiss everything automatically, but will inquire as to why people say something works. Iâ(TM)ll be very skeptical, but considerate.

They may be responding to consumer preference in that market. Plenty of people buy Teslas without instrument clusters. Adding the cluster does cost money. This isnâ(TM)t like putting in seat heaters and then charging to have them functional. This is an additional component.

Should we complain that there is an up charge for fog lamps? There is the space for them on some cars, but theyâ(TM)re not always installed.

And think of how many car models are out there where one trim level has a tachometer and another doesnâ(TM)t. They are giving the consumer choice. Get extra displays or not.

What is is that RFK jr is now telling families to get the measles vaccine and days later Trump targets the MMR vaccine.
Admittedly, the order is to break MMR into M, M and R in separate shots. If thatâ(TM)s what it takes to get skeptical parents to vaccinate their children In okay with that. But letâ(TM)s get those kids vaccinated ASAP.

Black holes use gravity, not vacuum to suck matter into themselves. Although both suck, the vacuum cleaner relies on the pressure of surrounding air.

I know, very unfunny in attempting humor, but this is Slashdot after all

A vacuum cleaner in a vacuum.
I do not think that will work well. :)

I have not read the full details, but if the device was under government control, then was it a federal agent who typed in the code.
If the owner of the phone did not put in the code, then he didnâ(TM)t destroy anything. The government agentâ(TM)s incompetence destroyed the evidence. This would be akin to a DEA agent flushing a toilet holding suspected drugs. Ok, I will grant you that itâ(TM)s more like the toilet being rigged to flush if the lid is lifted without the seat as well. Itâ(TM)s not the expected action, but the agent would be causing the destruction and not the accused.

Stupid agent should know that a person who cannot be compelled to give up their access code might give up another code instead. The most they can reasonably win with is that the person lied. And youâ(TM)d need to see exactly what was said. A clever person can give a code without saying it is the unlock code. For example, in desperation after interrogation just spouting out a series of numbers. Never said it was the right code.

If the person doing the unit translation isnâ(TM)t familiar with imperial units(most of the world except USA), they can be forgiven the error.

How many of us could do a good job figuring out how to make change for a purchase with pre decimal British currency. Pound, shilling, pence. How many farthings are in a Pound?

IOOAL. The cost needs to be a multiple of the profits in order to discourage bad behavior. Thatâ(TM)s why treble damages are so common. Pennieâ(TM)s on the dollar wonâ(TM)t discourage bad behavior.

Real world results shows daylight saving time wastes energy.
Letâ(TM)s be sensible and stick to the original times which actually work.

This should not be filled asking for a mere $5 million. It looks a little like a fake suit to get him and them off the hook. Even if they settled for the full amount they are getting off easy.

Making actual mass published software disc would be impressive.

Burning a bunch of DVD-R isnâ(TM)t nearly as impressive.

However, maybe we should all go buy a few stacks of DVD-RW to help support their manufacturer
