Keep in mind that they didn't even DF this guy to catch him - they caught him because he eventually tried to return the radio for a reward and they recognized his voice!
1. Money: Encrypted radios cost,
3. Security: In order to use them, pilots will need to purchase them. So every pilot shop is going to need to offer these radios for easy sale. If pilots can buy them, so can other people, unless you want to get into a registration system as complex and useless as a gun ownership database. Then, of course, you can't really issue unique encryption keys to each radio because registering them is going to require a hellishly complex system. So you'll end up with something that is easily replicated and easily acquired, and therefore offers no real security.
Well, no.
Cell phones are encrypted radios, too, yet they are cheap and plentiful.
Cell phones have to be registered and assigned to an owner (it has to be, otherwise the cellphone company could not bill users), and in case of theft, it can be remotely disabled.
What a shit people those limeys are!!! They truly are really the worst, crappy, most disgusting people on Earth! They built a worldwide empire to pillage and plunder the Earth, they meddled in politics all over the planet and screwed-up most countries they set their little grubby hands on, they have had throughout their History the most callous, appaling, ghastly, disgusting attitute towards the poor, and now this!!! The poor are denied the very basic human rights that are taken as unalienable for those who are not poor!
I might be missing something, too, but I've seen a vocal minority of Obama supporters assuming that if you disagree with Obama, you must be racist against blacks.
There's nothing new nor extraordinary here. For example, if you disagree with jews, you are automatically an antisemite.
Many years ago, we were bidding on a US Postal Service contract
that nobody had bothered to tell the shipping department to ignore the standard, "Ship all contract proposals FedEx, overnight", procedure in this case.....
FedEx would probably have deliberately lost the stuff
The amazing thing is that there is enough intellectual firepower which supports this draconian regime to even dream up these 5 technologies.
Don't worry, there are plenty of bright-enough minds from outside Iran who think nothing about whoring themselves to do that, as long as there is a big fat steaming pile of money at the end.
Iran's policy is VERY bad for business - who seem to really WANT their people to be poor and unemployed.
Well, yes, of course. Any régime based on religion will NEED to have people to be poor and unemployed so they’d be receptive to the religious bullshit.
There is a surprising amount of network traffic shaping and monitoring software related to the middle east. Half the startup companies in the business a few years ago had founders educated in Israel. It is possible, therefor that the locals do have such knowledge, but on the other hand the Israelis and Iranians don't really get along (understatement of the year nomination please).
Just put any normal run-of-the-mill jew in front of a pile of money, and he won’t give a fuck where it’s coming from.
South Africa, last year. Incitement to hatred against immigrants: result, countless attacks and weeks of unrest as the locals attacked immigrants and forced them to flee for their lives.
Rwanda, several years ago. Incitement to hatred against one "race": result, 1 million dead, many hacked to bits as they sought shelter. In a few weeks they killed then half a year of all the concentration camps of WW2.
We’re talking about Ireland, a significantly different civilization than Africa.
If there is a people who certainly don’t need protection against hate speech, it’s the irish, given how much shit they have been dragged through throughout History, courtesy of the britshit
Do you mean to say you think it would be right for a bunch of cool kids to harass and belittle certain students on a daily basis and be protected under free speech?
Yes indeed. This is a great way to tech kids about bullshit being bullshit.
Would it be alright for them to make up suggestions of a defamatory nature about said student under your kind of free speech?
Well, if you can prove defamation, you have defamation.
So if you think it's the kid's responsibility to not protect himself from psychological harm by physical force...
No, by words back, or simply by ignoring the words.
then, pray tell, how is the kid supposed to protect himself against these odds? Answer me that and I'll concede the point.
The kid simply has to ignore it.
When I was a kid, I went to a private school where the teachers would have the whole class laugh at you whenever you screwed-up. Since I screwed-up a lot, I had the whole class laughing at me pretty much all the time. So I had two choices, either stop screwing up, or not giving a shit whenever the whole class laughed at me.
I took the easy way out: not giving a shit about the rest of the class.
Free speech for absolutely everything would mean free speech for planning and advocating genocide and murder.
That’s no big deal, unless, of course, you actually do the genocide and/or murder.
Free speech for absolutely everything means free speech for fraud and deception.
That’s no big deal, unless, of course, you actually do the fraud and deception.
Free speech for absolutely everything means "fighting words" that provoke another to attack.
That’s no big deal, and if the other one attacks you, you have the legitimate defence right to counter the attack. Oughta teach the asshole that words are only words.
You don't have to reinstall every year. My main rig has been running the same, non-reinstalled copy of XP for over 3 years. It's fast and stable.
Heh. 2 months ago, I retired my main workstation, a Win2000 box that has been running since 2001 doing software development, CAD and whatnot. I never had needed to reinstall the software in all that time.
This is the same argument used for drug price controls - let someone have a breakthrough and then steal their work. All that does is keep people from investing in research.
Er, no. Pharma corporations don’t spend much of their own dollars in research; most research is done in university, often funded by government grants. What pharma really do is “research” into having the drug approved by authorities, and then spends heavyly on marketing.
Though I would like to see what the CEO of RIAA would look like when compensated for his loss in volts. $1.92M = 1.92 megavolts connected to him. Probably would look nice and send a message to other moneybins.
Just put a tax on gasoline. Cars that use more fossil fuel and polute more will pay more. Simple.
Better yet, heavier vehicle (trucks) damage roads more. And they need more gasoline to go the same way than a smaller car. So you get revenue more proportional to road damage to pay for maintenance.
This is just bullshit to make sure that a guy driving a Hummer will pay no more taxes than a guy who drives a Prius.
A gas tax has the advantage of taxing pollution, but the americans seem to enjoy polluting, so they will penalize instead those who don't pollute.
Never mind that a gas tax is easier to collect than having to read the data from a zillion vehicles and compile bills and mail them and collect them!!!
I thought that O'Bama was not an oil industry shill???
Slashdot Mirror
Reverse social engineering :)
Well, no.

Well, that's the bad old ma Bell that's still alive and kicking in Canada.
Well, of course Corvettes can't be alien tech. They don't even have flux capacitors!!!
What a shit people those limeys are!!! They truly are really the worst, crappy, most disgusting people on Earth!

The heights of stupidity people will go just to avoid raising taxes.
There's nothing new nor extraordinary here. For example, if you disagree with jews, you are automatically an antisemite.
This is great. That quote alone is grounds for lawsuit dismissal, for barratry.
Well, to racist whites, all gooks or niggers look the same, so scanning the IDs would recognize those who would need to recognized
FedEx would probably have deliberately lost the stuff

Like if your IP address would be out of reach of the iranian secret police
Well, yes, of course. Any régime based on religion will NEED to have people to be poor and unemployed so they’d be receptive to the religious bullshit.

This guy did, in a place where guns are illegal.
Heh. 2 months ago, I retired my main workstation, a Win2000 box that has been running since 2001 doing software development, CAD and whatnot. I never had needed to reinstall the software in all that time.

Amperes. It’s amperes you want, not volts.
They certainly did not do so when gas hit $4 a gallon
Better yet, heavier vehicle (trucks) damage roads more. And they need more gasoline to go the same way than a smaller car. So you get revenue more proportional to road damage to pay for maintenance.
That’s a double win-win!
A truck damages roads between 10,000 to 30,000 times than a car.
The license for a truck **IS NOT** 10,000 to 30,000 times as expensive than a car’s.
Heaven forbid the license rates for trucks be raised They might have to resort to — heaven forbid! — shipping by rail!!!
