no government entity is going to hand out licenses to hunt and destroy "GOVERNMENT PROPERTY"
Yes, because no one has ever obtained a hunting license and then legally hunted on federal or state owned game lands. Oh, wait, they have.
Obviously I was being facetious. I have a feeling that this is more of a protest for the majority of these people.
I'm not sure what part of the nation you are referring to, as it appears that it's not just "that part". From TFA:
two weeks ago when the tally of personal checks made out to the town hit 983 [Deer Trails' own population is about 560] and $19,006. The checks came from all over the U.S.
Perhaps you've already huffed paint fumes one too many times to realize that there are citizens who aren't very happy about having drones used on the civilian population. You know, big brother, eye-in-the-sky and all. Maybe, just maybe some people believe this will draw a little more attention to the issue.
Does anyone really find this surprising? Wasn't it a few years back that the NSA told the banks that 128-bit encryption was perfectly safe, but mandated that the military switch to 256?
My good people you look like 3 year olds interpreting the meaning of words: a gas giant can have many other things besides gas, like, uhmm I don't know: a solid planet can have many other things other than solids? (Hint: Breath).
I can't say I've heard of a "solid planet". I have heard of rocky planets with an atmosphere though. Just what do you plan to land on, on Saturn? I suppose you could get lucky and find something being tossed around in the atmosphere, but good luck with that. You sure as hell aren't going to land on anything solid like a core. The last I checked it is probably metallic hydrogen surrounded by liquid hydrogen. It's unlikely we will ever have the technology to build anything that can reach that and remain intact, let alone "land".
The ship that fired it. I was mistaken about the fact that the test was announced. Still, I don't feel that conducting military tests like this in an already tense situation is a great idea. I'm in the US. We've cancelled military exercises in areas in the past that were less tense than this. Our government has also been very critical of other countries conducting these types of exercises too. Of course reaction is more nuanced than "ZOMG, missiles!". But in this situation, our president has been pretty clear that he wants to blow up some stuff. Skipping a rock seems pretty provocative after all of the recent talk of retaliation.
My mistake. I didn't read TFA, just glanced through a couple of comments that said it was unannounced.
With all of the partisanship these days, it's hard to find anything that isn't slanted toward some extreme view. At least in the US. Frankly it's gotten to the point that I don't have the energy to sift through it to figure out the truth.
Do your cables use oxygen-free copper, though? I'm sick of oxygen messing my pixels up!.
Fool. You don't want that cheap-ass copper. What you need is oxygen-free silver. The following is a quote from a silver speaker wire company. With results like these for a simple speaker wire, just think what silver will do for HDMI:
When you replace your copper speaker cables (even more expensive copper cables) with our Teflon-insulated, 99.999% solid silver conductor speaker cables, you may think you have just installed expensive new electronics, because of the across-the-board sonic improvements you should experience-
The highs sounding less harsh and more delicately musical. The bass, less "bloated" and more revealing of instrumental textures and specific notes. The all-important mid-range (where most of the music resides) should sound more natural and warm, with human voices sounding more like real people, and musical instruments more convincingly "live."
A new, "liquid" and flowing quality should reveal more of the intrinsic beauty of the original musical event.
The stereo sound stage becomes more specific, with instruments and voices each appearing from a smaller localized area in the stereo image. There is a more distinct "layering" of the sound, with the ability to retrieve the original recorded "depth of field" to a greater extent.
With results like this applied to an HDMI cable, you will feel like you have been "sucked into" another world, rather than just viewing it on television. In fact, I bet you will be able to interact with the characters in the movie. You may even be able to stop that jedi from saving Jar-Jar. Or smack the shit out of Bill Paxton and tell him to grow a pair in Aliens. And of course there's the porn.
As crazy as the Iranian government seems, they are almost certainly not that stupid. What do you suppose would happen to the Iranian government and their ayatollahs if they shot missiles at Israel?
If they felt there was a good chance of removing Israel from the region, I'm not sure. There's a lot of glory to be had (in the jihadist mind) when it comes to mutually assured destruction. They get 70-some-odd virgins and go to paradise and their enemy gets destroyed. I don't know how many "true believers" there are in the Iranian government, but I'd guess it's more than none.
Firing a missile over the Mediterranean Sea, unannounced, with all of the threats of a US strike on Syria. What could possibly go wrong?
Or perhaps the idea was to see if someone would fire back. It sure would be a lot more convenient to fire off a bunch of Tomahawks "in self defense" right now.
Android 6 is Pepsi
by then its going to be a new generation of people using it who are now kids, and everyone knows that Pepsi is the Choice of a new Generation
be sociable, drink a pepsi. be young and fair and debonair, have a pepsi. pepsi for those who think young -- such as vice president nixon and premier khrushchev

Yes, but as far as I know, no one in the decision making chain knew that this would happen. Agent Orange, when produced correctly, itself is not toxic to humans. The problem was that Monsanto (the now defunct parent company of the present day Monsanto) over heated it during production. This caused 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin to form and contaminate the Agent Orange. The intent of spraying Agent Orange was to remove the tree cover, not to cause birth defects and to make troops on both sides sick years later. See the difference?
How would dropping a chemical on a battlefield (on both enemy and your own troops) that would take years to manifest symptoms be of any use to the military? If the intent was simply to poison the troops, then any number of other gasses or biological agents would certainly have been much more effective. At the time there were many other options of chemicals that could have been used to ensure a decisive victory.
The intent was to remove the forest cover. This was a much different usage than the mustard and chlorine gas that were used during WWI. Or VX and nerve gas. Those were meant to kill and seriously injure troops and civilians in a very short time, in one of the most awful ways for any one to die. Don't get me wrong, what happened was atrocious. But I don't think the outcome was what the intended use of Agent Orange. Now the way the military tried to cover this up was equally despicable. But that's another discussion.
Isn't this the reason for LLC (limited liability company) and incorporating? So only the company can be sued and the companies assets are all you can go after; and not the private property of the owner and it's officers & employees?
I could be wrong, but wasn't this a company and not some guy selling these things out of his garage.
The reputation of that planet is so damaged that I actually chewed out my daughter for "getting stuck with" Uranus. "But it was such a pretty blue", the naive little grade-schooler said.
"Next time don't dilly-dally and get in line early and pick a real planet, so that your family won't be embarrassed, you got that?"
Please tell me you're joking and/or I should be hearing a rather loud woosh right now. If not, please seek professional help before you screw up your child(ren).
Not that I completely disagree with the sentiment expressed in the article but all the wide-eyed outrage coming from the government of the US of A is a tad laughable seeing how it's the only country in the history of humankind that's pounded other countries with both nuclear (see Hiroshima, Nagasaki) and chemical (see Agent Orange, Vietnam) weapons.
It's the only country to use nukes. But it certainly isn't the only to use gas. France, Germany and the UK all used it during the first world war. While Agent Orange was a gas, it was not believed to be toxic to humans At the time it was used in Vietnam. It was a defoliant used so the North Vietnamese troops couldn't hide under the forest canopy. Unfortunately Monsanto tainted it in production.
can we please stop using terminology like marketers? everything new and cool is suddenly a "killer app" which means nothing anymore.

I couldn't agree more. Besides, with the blurred lines between what someone actually means when they say "literally" these days., I'm not sure I'd want to wear anything that's a "killer app". It might be some kind of code slang for "Kevorkian skin". There's already a Kevorkian scarf

Oh, you didn't mean "illegally spy on", you meant "take your bosses seriously". Sorry, simple mistake.
Tomato, potato, Tomato, potato...
Are you listening? It seems your constituents may not be all that keen on having drones used on civilian populations.
Oh yeah, it's not an election year. So I guess not.

Hasn't the majority of the internet already applied that twice?
As you run up to kick the thing from 25 yards?
Yes. It will probably fall down on it's own just before your foot makes contact.
Kickstands!!
...that have 2 positions!!!

1. build reactor 2. decommision reactor 3. profit
One and two look good. But isn't it supposed to be:
3. ???
4. Profit.
You can't go messing with the natural order of things.
Oh and I paid $10 at BigLots for it as another slashdotter recommended that. Do not go anywhere else where you will be ripped off.
You got ripped off. Try Monoprice for HDMI cables.
They have plenty of Lithium.
Apparently they don't. Or perhaps one doesn't and the other are just autistic and imitating the bipolar nebulae.
They noticed the mysterious alignment in the long axes of bipolar planetary nebulae.
Perhaps they forgot to take their Lithium and Prozac?

"Version 2.0 of the HDMI Specification, which is backward compatible with earlier versions of the Specification[...]"
I bought a Blu-Ray player. I returned it because the copy-protection scheme wasn't backwards compatible with my digital TV.
Screw it. I don't want Blu-Ray bad enough to replace a perfectly good TV. My legacy DVD player works with it just fine.
You needed one of these.
