I am SOLO. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels 5US authorities stated that Mc. Kinnon was trying to downplay his own actions. A senior military officer at the Pentagon told The Sunday Telegraph US policy is to fight these attacks as strongly as possible. As a result of Mr Mc. Kinnons actions, we suffered serious damage. This was not some harmless incident. He did very serious and deliberate damage to military and Nasa computers and left silly and anti America messages. All the evidence was that someone was staging a very serious attack on US computer systems. Arrest and legal proceedings. Mc. Kinnon was first interviewed by police on 1. March 2. 00. 2. After this interview, his computer was seized by the authorities. He was interviewed again on 8 August 2. UK National Hi Tech Crime Unit NHTCU. In November 2. Mc. Kinnon was indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia. The indictment contained seven counts of computer related crime, each of which carried a potential ten year jail sentence. Mc. Kinnon remained at liberty without restriction for three years until June 2. UK enacted the Extradition Act 2. United States wherein the United States did not need to provide contestable evidence, when he became subject to bail conditions including a requirement to sign in at his local police station every evening and to remain at his home address at night.

Kinnons lawyers contended that in effect this was intimidation to force Mc. Kinnon to waive his legal rights. Mc. Kinnon also stated that he had been told that he could serve part of his sentence in the UK if he co operated. He rejected the offer because the Americans would not guarantee these concessions. Mc. Kinnons barrister said that the Law Lords could deny extradition if there was an abuse of process If the United States wish to use the processes of English courts to secure the extradition of an alleged offender, then they must play by our rules. The House of Lords rejected this argument, with the lead judgement of Lord Brown of Eaton under Heywood holding that the difference between the American system and our own is not perhaps so stark as Mc. Kinnons argument suggests and that extradition proceedings should accommodate legal and cultural differences between the legal systems of the many foreign friendly states with whom the UK has entered into reciprocal extradition arrangements. Further appeals. Mc. Kinnon appealed to the European Court of Human Rights,1. On 2. 3 January 2. Mc. Kinnon won permission from the High Court to apply for a judicial review against his extradition. On 3. 1 July 2. 00. High Court announced that Mc. Kinnon had lost this appeal. Mc. Kinnons legal team, solicitor Karen Todner and barrister Ben Cooper, applied for a judicial review into the Home Secretarys rejection of medical evidence, which stated that, when he could easily be tried in the UK, it was unnecessary, cruel and inhumane to inflict the further stress of removing him from his homeland, his family and his medical support network. On 1. October 2. 01. Home Secretary. Theresa May announced to the House of Commons that the extradition had been blocked, saying that Mr Mc. Kinnon is accused of serious crimes. But there is also no doubt that he is seriously ill. He has Aspergers syndrome, and suffers from depressive illness. Mr Mc. Kinnons extradition would give rise to such a high risk of him ending his life that a decision to extradite would be incompatible with Mr Mc. Kinnons human rights. She stated that the Director of Public Prosecutions would determine whether Mc. Kinnon should face trial before a British court. On 1. 4 December, the DPP, Keir Starmer, announced that Mc. Kinnon would not be prosecuted in the United Kingdom, because of the difficulties involved in bringing a case against him when the evidence was in the United States. Judicial review. In January 2. Mr Justice Mitting granted Mc. Kinnon a further judicial review of the decision of Home Secretary. Alan Johnson to allow Mc. Kinnons extradition. Mitting distinguished two issues which were arguable, the first being whether Professor Turks opinion that Mc. Kinnon would certainly commit suicide if extradited means that the Home Secretary must refuse extradition under section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1. The second was whether Professor Turks opinion was a fundamental change to the circumstances that the courts had previously considered and ruled upon. Mitting ruled that if the answer to both questions was Yes, then it was arguable that it would be unlawful to allow the extradition. Support for Mc. Kinnon. In early November 2. British MPs signed an Early Day Motion calling for any custodial sentence imposed by an American court to be served in a prison in the UK. On 1. 5 July 2. 00. Parliament against a review of the extradition treaty. In mid November 2. Marillion announced that it was ready to participate in a benefit concert in support of Mc.

The Electric Car Charging Infrastructure Is Nowhere Near Ready But I Have An Idea. Tesla has 5. 00,0. Model 3, Chevy has a 3. Europe have set timelines to eliminate the sale of new combustion cars, and electric vehicles may end up being cheaper to build than dead dinosaur sauce burning cars. It sure seems like electric cars are here to stay, but the truth is theyre still a pain in the ass to use when it comes to charging. I think I may have a workable stopgap solution. The latest generation of electric cars have defined a 2. Being able to drive 2. The range for many electric cars is finally where it needs to be, but, like all good things, that range does eventually run out, and thats where the problems begin. The charging infrastructure, while at least in some way extant, can in no way compete with the convenience of the robust gasoline refueling infrastructure drivers are used to, and thats going to be a problem for widespread adoption. For most owners, charging is done every night, at home, and the cars, like the plot of a shitty sitcom, always end up back where they started once the days adventures are over. This works fine for many people, but if youre one of the millions of Americans who live in apartments without EV charging facilities, or if you just want to take a long road trip, the limitations of the current charging infrastructure become very, very clear. As of June of this year, there were around 1. EV charging stations with about 4. United States. That seems like a decent number, but most of those seem to be slow Level 2 charging stations, with the fast DC charging stations, like the Tesla Superchargers, only numbering 2,1. Its these fast DC stations that are most suitable to long distance travel, since they dont take 6 or 8 hours to get your car back to a usuable charge. Now, for comparison, theres about 1. United States, with each station having. These numbers vary wildly, from tiny stations with 2 or 4 to huge truck stops with 3. Well guess conservatively that an average station has 1. U. S. Thats a hell of a lot more. Gas stations are, as we all know, everywhere. So, heres where we are electric cars are finally becoming affordable and practical enough to make sense to use, but if you want to do any significant traveling in one, its still a colossal ass pain. But I think I have a decent stop gap solution. The key here is that to make a viable electric car charging infrastructure, well need to piggyback on an existing infrastructure, and the most logical one to use is the gas station network. Trying to wire all gas stations or even one given chain of gas stations with the hardware needed for fast DC chargers would be expensive and slow. That type of network will need to come one day, but in the short term we need something fast and good enough. Thats where Trunk Batteries come in. Heres what needs to happen one or more of the major gas station franchises needs to partner with a hypothetical company that produces modular, rechargeable, swappable battery packs that can be placed into an electric cars trunk, connect to the cars charging system, and give the car a decent enough amount of range to be useful. Itd work like this youre taking your Model 3 or Bolt or Model S or whatever on a road trip, and you see youre running out of battery power. Instead of hunting around to desperately find a charging station in range, you take the next exit, stop at a normal gas station, and back or drive up, if you have a front trunk up to the Trunk Battery kiosk. Once there, you open your trunk and a forklift like device places the 2. The battery pack has a place to hold your hood or hatch nearly closed while allowing a cable room to snake out and plug into your cars charging port. You plug it in, check your range and see you have around 1. When you exhaust the Trunk Battery, you stop at the next Trunk Battery licensed gas station, and either drop off the battery or have it swapped for a fresh one. Easy Thanks to the Tesla Model 3s new 2. EV trunks with a range of around 9. Here, Ill walk you through the math each 2. Wh, and weighs 6. If we get 1. 50. 0 of these cells together, that makes a nearly 3. Wh battery pack with 2. Most sources say that you can expect an average of about 3 miles per k. Wh, so our 3. 2 k. Wh battery pack should provide about 9. If we package these 1. If we factor in wiring and cooling devices and housing, we can probably end up with a 2. Tesla Model S, and should fit in the hatch or trunk area of pretty much any major EV available for sale. Any gas station franchise that decides to deal in Trunk Batteries would need a bit of equipment a self contained kiosk that stores and recharges battery packs, along with a liftdrop system for getting them easily into and out of car trunks. These would take a bit of design and engineering work, but its by no means all that complicated. Additionally, since the Trunk Battery system is, essentially, a third party battery swapping system, the viability and benefits of a battery swapping solution would be made very clear. If Trunk Batteries became popular, carmakers may start including auxiliary charging ports right inside their trunks, or, even better, manufacturers would eventually agree on a standardized battery format and connector system to make all of the cars batteries easily swappable by design, and without eating up precious luggage space. A solution like Trunk Batteries isnt a long term solution its a stopgap that provides a way to leverage the existing robust gas station infrastructure in a quick and dirty way. Using a Trunk Battery means giving up a good chunk of your storage volume, and, at only about 1. Even so, it would at least make an impromptu road trip possible, and allow for EVs to be used generally the same way combustion cars get used, without the route limitations and obsessive planning thats usually required for any EV road trip. Right now, though, I think a solution like Trunk Batteries is the most likely way the coming boom of electric car ownership will be served while a real charging infrastructure is slowly built. Its a solution that should only be needed for about a decade or so, but, without it, EVs may not even be able to sell in the numbers needed to have a full charging network make sense.
