Sounds great, until someone steals your ATM card number and drains your bank account. Then those 12-inch thick steel doors do nothing to protect you. The vulnerability is never the hardened bank vault, its the shoddy technology around the electronic systems. It pains me that there's still no commonly available way to get physical currency out of an ATM than to trust the security of an easily copied magnetic strip and an almost as easily clonable 4-digit number.

I cancelled all of my "debit" cards a few years ago because someone stole my number to take all of my money to buy limo rides and champagne one Christmas eve. After that I swore to only use my card in "trusted" locations (so no gas station ATMs) and as rarely as possible. Last month my card got skimmed at an ATM attached to a bank, and a cloned card was used to drain my account this weekend.

Except in 1992 and 1993.

This despite the Bond franchise putting out 25 films to the 9 accounted for Star Wars, not to mention the SW merchandising rights, which are work far far more than Bond.

http://www.sae.org/misc/pdfs/a... states that level 5 is "the full-time performance by an automated driving system of all aspects of the dynamic driving task under all roadway and environmental conditions that can be managed by a human driver"

There's no requirement that the car must lack human controls, only that the car be capable of fully autonomous driving under any condition a human could drive a car.

It's right there in the summary. These employees will be getting benefits.

There's actually an AT&T branded credit card, issued by.... Citibank. When they first came out, it was a combination long distance calling card and credit card. Now, as far as I can tell, it's just another credit card with no particular other benefit.

I suspect that this is at the root of the lawsuit. Because AT&T is already in business with Citibank (and their combined credit card is one that offers the "thankyou" (tm) benefits), Citibank is annoyed that AT&T would brand their other loyalty program similarly.

The elections are not run by volunteers here. I am the Judge of Elections for my district. I get paid by the county for that day, as do all of the other poll workers here. By my rough calculations, the county had to pay out about $2 for each person who voted in my district in the most recent primary election - 379 voters showed up (of 766 registered), and we have a total of 5 people who are each paid just over $100 for the day, plus one-half of a constable (shared with the adjacent district which votes in the same room).

This does not include the wages paid to the staff who configure the voting machines, deliver them to my polling place, collect and aggregate the results at the end of the night, among others. Nor does it include the costs of the printed books of registered voters, signage which we must post to inform voters of the law, and other supplies which must be generated for each election and discarded afterwards (because they are specific to the election - the set of eligible voters changes, the signage is unique to the election depending on what is on the ballot, etc).

This was even the highest turnout election I have run. An odd-year primary (which contains only local offices on the ballot) can have as few as 50 voters turn out, but the costs are essentially fixed, so the per-voter cost is significantly higher.

Since the elections in my state are closed, only registered Democrats and Republicans can vote on most issues. This one had two ballot initiatives, one of which was cancelled before the election (but after all of the machines were programmed and materials printed) and will re-appear on the November ballot, and the other which only affected another city 300 miles away (and even then, only de jure and not de facto, because the action in question was already taken, and the amendment is only to strike the law of something which no longer exists).

Running an election such as this costs literally millions of dollars across the state - one estimate I found put it over $25 million overall, which would put the cost per registered voter at about $3, and more like $6 per actual vote cast (given ~50% average turnout, which is fairly accurate for this primary election).

Health care: individual responsibility (see instructions) Full-year coverage []

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf...

Health care: individual responsibility.
You must either:
Indicate on line 61 that you, your
spouse (if filing jointly), and your dependents
had health care coverage
throughout 2014,
Claim an exemption from the
health care coverage requirement for
some or all of 2014 and attach Form
8965, or
Make a shared responsibility payment
if, for any month in 2014, you,
your spouse (if filing jointly), or your
dependents did not have coverage and
do not qualify for a coverage exemption.

See the instructions for line 61 and Form
8965 for more information.

There is your ACA tax-form line item.

Decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale. 30 dB is an order of magnitude louder than 20 dB (10 times the power).

So, it bundles up a binary and all of the shared libraries necessary for that binary, so that you don't end up in dependency hell. Great, except for what happens when the next OpenSSL vulnerability is announced, and suddenly you need to replace every container which has its own copy of OpenSSL, instead of the one shared system copy.

It sounds like Zipcar, but with all-electric cars. Zipcar doesn't seem to have the problems you mention, so I don't see why it would be an issue just because the car is electric instead of gas or hybrid.

My MacBook Pro had a line of logos on the bottom which are now mostly worn off. The AC adapter has one side covered in them as well.

My iPhone has a row of them across the back as well.

The iMac, interestingly enough, doesn't appear to have any certification logos on it that I can see.

Tell that to Jose Padilla, an American citizen who was arrested on US soil, then held in a military prison as an enemy combatant for three and a half years.

I have a personal domain. I still get misdirected emails. In fact, I get more at my personal email address at my personal domain than I do at my GMail address.
