    I don't think you know what O3 & H3 are (Certainly not rocket fuel) and as for putting it in orbit around the moon the ISS is not designed to operate out side the Earth's Van Allen Belts putting it in orbit around the moon would be pointless as anyone going aboard would get a massive radiation dose in a matter of hours

  9. Just in time for the Laptop Ban on Galaxy Note 7 Is Not Dead, Samsung Says It Will Sell Refurbished Units (samsung.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So we can still take exploding phones onto flights

  10. A laptop would be more credible as you could take an older laptop strip out the innards and replace with the innards of a modern slimline laptop then pack it out with explosives. Alternatively for a more modern laptop or an IPad replace the internal battery for one with similar outputs but a smaller footprint (Probably an older Mobile phone battery) then pack the remaining space with explosives & det. Either way you end up with an apparently functioning device but it won't do that much damage to the plane unless you can get a reasonable amount of pressure against it when it goes off. So beware the fat fucker with the IPad.

    Only LUDDITES hate automatic appdates because they're too stupid to know how to use apps! Modern app appers love automatic appdates because it lets them app even more apps while apping other apps!

    Hmmm most other OS's automatic updates don't require hours of down time and often unexpected reboots. M$'s automatic update system could only be worse if it was designed by a government employee

    It was more secure than Linux. Literally every time I tried anything on the standard Vista install on my brand new Dell, it froze or crash. No way an attacker could take that over.

    Ahh security through inoperability.
