Try reading the post. I included detecting being over friendly ground as well as preventing midair detonation. Any other friendlies joining in on your run will have contact with you during the run. And modern bombers operate far above the blast ceiling. Hitting a target on the ground - early or not - will not result in your friendlies being caught in the blast. They won't be following a bomber and flying under the blast ceiling.
You did not "typey" very well. You said "A Bomber crashing is supposed to be in the design scope of the munition. A mid-air collision or any other type of disaster should never send active bombs downward." well before you started excepting combat missions.
I'm not sure you understand how these things are really designed to work. A Bomber crashing is supposed to be in the design scope of the munition. A mid-air collision or any other type of disaster should never send active bombs downward. This is true for conventional munitions as well as nuclear weapons. Nuclear bombs are supposed to be activated prior to release so that they can detonate. They are never supposed to be loaded in an armed state except for during combat missions. An inactive bomb should never get to the first fail safe, let alone the 2nd or 3rd.
I would be willing to bet that changes came about because the "almost" should have never been.
And why shouldn't the bombs go off if the plane goes down? If you fall in the vicinity of the target, I say explode that shit. The bigger the munition's radius, the bigger your error margin.
If it's war and you're intent on bombing the enemy, isn't it better to lose the plane and bomb the enemy a few miles from the target than to lose the plane, not bomb the enemy, and have a planeload of viable munitions fall into their hands? All you'd need to do is arm when you get into the target's space and leave your own (and your allies's).
The worst that could happen is you bomb nothing instead of a factory. If you're engaged in a war (as opposed to the US's current political occupations), even bombing an unintended target (like a hospital) works out pretty well . The only other piece you need to add in is preventing detonation mid-air so your other bombers don't get hit if one goes down.
Bombs need to be safe for us (and our allies). Not safe for the enemy.
It's called journalistic prose numbnuts, this isn't an academic paper, nobody gives a shit about run-on sentences in the real world.
Fuck off, journalistic prose is universally terrible.
Here's some horseshit from a random story on CNN.com:
They live at the end of a runway at one of the nation's busiest airports, and only now has anyone cared to identify them and even give them a name.
They are yellow-bellied legless lizards, and their species name is A. stebbinsi, after 98-year-old herpetologist Robert C. Stebbins. Their home is in the dunes west of Los Angeles International Airport.
Stebbins' namesakes, which look like snakes, were discovered and identified by Theodore Papenfuss, a herpetologist with the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at the University of California, Berkeley, and James Parham of California State University, Fullerton.
Here's how to convey all that information without being retarded:
A new species of lizard has been formally identified by herpetologist Theodore Papenfuss and James Parham. The lizards resemble snakes because they have yellow bellies and no legs. They are found in the dunes west of Los Angeles International Airport.
The official name, "A. stebbinsi", is a tribute to 98-year-old herpetologist Robert C. Stebbins. Papenfuss works at the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at the University of California, Berkeley, and Parham works at California State University, Fullerton.
My home town nearly went to zero Kevins back in 1978.
It was a particularly cold winter, and we were already down to 3 Kevins (due to their low popularity at the time).
Kevin Thomas had flown out to be with his son's family for a wedding and got stuck in Boston for a whole week due to the weather. 2 Kevins left.
Kevin Lemmer was rushed to the hospital during my shift. I still remember the call from the EMTs as the ambulance was rushing toward us. "It's Lemmer. He's in bad shape. Drove right into the fucking ditch." We called the time of death at 6:15 PM.
At 6:16, all eyes turned to room 2217. Kevin Spencer was 82 and on his death bed with leukemia. His family being Catholic, he had already been given his last rites. If he couldn't hold out until Kevin Thomas returned, we would be at zero Kevins. Sure, we had 4 perfectly healthy Calvins, but they're just not the same.
It was 7:15 when Carla Brooks and her husband James burst through the main entrance. "She's not due for 2 weeks!", James exclaimed. As the staff bustled around getting the Brookses settled, they exchanged darting glances with each other. This was their first child, and they wanted to keep the baby's sex a secret. Of course, in a small town, secrets don't get kept. Nearly all of the hospital staff new that the child about to rip open Mrs. Brooks was indeed a boy.
The delivery was routine, and Kevin Brooks was born healthy, if a tad underweight, at 10:52 PM. Kevin Spencer was pronounced dead at 10:54.
It was, as they say, a close one. Kevin Thomas arrived two days later, the weather having finally cleared up. To this day, we still rib him about it.
You type in your destination and tell it to go, and off you go. If you tell it to go to the beach, it'll stop at whatever surf shop shelled out the most cash and yell at you to buy shit. But what's this? It's taking you to the McDonald's drive through first? You then have to get on the squawk box and tell the minimum wage burger jockey "No, I don't want anything, my car just brought me here, sorry." and hope they understand.
Why would Musk become the third-largest GOOG shareholder if it was purchased if TSLA was purchased with cash? That doesn't make any sense.
When they talk about mergers/takeovers/buyouts, purchasing "with cash" doesn't mean actual dollars, it means any liquid or near-liquid asset. Stock is often counted as "cash" unless otherwise specified.
If the RNGs aren't producing numbers as "random" as claimed, then it's not working. It's sabotage.
No, it's not. Saboteurs break machines and bring them to a halt. Check the etymology.
Actually, you should check the etymology. There's no evidence for the old story about people throwing their shoes into the machines. Even if it was, there's no requirement for there to be a stoppage of production, there's just the requirement of the actors maliciously disrupting the process. An RNG that doesn't output "random" numbers to spec is BROKEN. Anyone intentionally causing that is engaging in SABOTAGE.
Sabotage would be to make something stop working. The mentioned chips will work just fine, but their RNGs will be predictable. Only the ones who caused it know and will take advantage of it. Looks like a trojan to me.
If the RNGs aren't producing numbers as "random" as claimed, then it's not working. It's sabotage.
A trojan horse requires stuffing something malevolent into something you want so you're enticed to bring it in the gates.
As someone who's taken over server administration from very talented developers a number of times, I've found that being a great developer doesn't mean that you're a great sysadmin. Developers may understand conceptually that RAID and backups are important (but sometimes think that RAID is a backup), but that doesn't mean that they actually set them up.
And as a sysadmin, I'm tired of hearing that. RAID1,5,6,10,Z is a backup. It's not an archive. An archive is what you go to when you want the old version. A backup is generally one of two things: 1) Something that lets you keep chugging through a failure (raid5, a backup generator with automatic cut-over, etc) 2) A standby spare (tape, NAS/usb drive, secondary location with desks/computers/etc.
RAID (other than 0) is absolutely a backup. It's not the perfect backup but it is a backup. What it is NOT is an archive - last night's/week's/month's/quarter's data.
So much fucking wrong.
RAID provides redundancy. It is not a backup.
A spare (hot or cold) is not a backup. It's a spare.
When you're talking about DATA, a backup is a COPY of that DATA on a physically-separate device. Ideally, all backups should be UNPOWERED and MOVED THE FUCK AWAY after being created. For my home use I don't do either of these, but for work we have 3 or 4 layers of backups and separation depending on how you want to count it.
I think you'll be hard pressed to find someone who claims the climate isn't changing. What's being contested is the claim by climate change nuts that the claims are caused by humans, will be disastrous, and are fixable by any of the plans they've outlines.
THEY'RE the ones making claims, and THEY have to provide EVIDENCE before I'll believe them. So far they've provided zero models that end up matching what actually happens a year or two down the road. They've done nothing but prove themselves wrong.
It's obvious why he is giving these directions - he is showing people how to add malware to his software so that any cracked software of his is suspect.
Anyone who could crack the software without his help would be fully capable of injecting malware into it. His instructions have no effect on the odds of malware being in the cracked copy you download. You'll still download from the first place that has a working release, and that'll still be from one of the "scene" groups, and it'll still be clean.
All anyone has to do is go to the pirate bay and look for a green/purple skull to ensure with 99.99999% certainty they're getting a clean version. I have never in my decades of downloading shit ended up with a copy of something that had malware injected into it, despite MS's constant warnings.
That's a lot of shit I'm not going to read. But I'm guessing you talk about consensus and models.
A consensus doesn't mean shit when you publicly ostracize and dismiss anyone who doesn't agree with your opinion, thus discounting them and protecting your "consensus" status.
A consensus doesn't mean shit even it's legitimate if the consensus opinion is factually wrong.
There are exactly ZERO climate models proposed by global warming nuts (sorry, "climate change" nuts) that do the following:
1: Predict shit into the future 2: Predict shit far enough into the future to be significant 3: End up being remotely accurate
Their claim is that humans are fucking up the planet and we have to give money and power to certain people to fix it or we'll all suffer terrible consequences as the planet changes. They can't even get a testable hypothesis that holds true for a few years when they "estimate" and "adjust" historical and current data, yet they want us to believe they know what's coming in the next 10 years? The next 100 years? The next 1000?
That's not science. That's bullshit. And anyone buying into it is a fucking moron.
Show me a testable hypothesis and experimental results and then we'll fucking talk. That's what science is. If you claim the current state of affairs amounts to a "scientific consensus" then you don't know what science is and no one should listen to you on the matter.
First of all, it was a hurricane with winds exceeding 80 MPH at landfall. Number two, it was unusual because its wind diameter was over 1,000 miles-- an unusually large area. It caused real damage and severe weather over a huge amount of land.
It was not a hurricane when it hit New York. Check your facts. It was classified as a tropical storm. The fact that it wasn't a hurricane is what led to the media throwing around the "super storm" bullshit. If it was a hurricane they would have run with "hurricane".
Unusual doesn't qualify it as super - it was not particularly large compared to other storms or hurricanes. It caused damage not because the storm was great, but because New York was ill-prepared for a moderately sized storm.
I have noticed only people in NY call it a superstorm, anyone else would call it a cat 1 hurricane or TS. I feel this planet goes through cycles of extremes, pointing at humans without proof is just another way to tax people.
How is this modded flamebait? It's entirely accurate. Sandy was not a hurricane, it was just a tropical storm. There was nothing "super" about it was the reaction by New Yorkers and the media.
Our planet has gone through intense weather and drastic climate change long before we were here and will do so long after were gone. The most significant effect humans have is blaming it on shit (carbon, pagans, magnets, aliens, too much violence, not enough violence, foreskin, etc.) and then hocking horseshit to morons to fix it (carbon credits, regulations that don't affect the gross emitters of the world, divining rods, sacrifices, crusades, circumcision, rain dances, etc.) without any actual evidence that the problem is due to their claimed cause, that the problem is fixable by us, or that their proposed solution will fix the problem.
Science doesn't work that way. Politicans and snakeoil do, though.
I don't recognize gag orders. Only if it comes from a bonefid judge and bonafid court (not FISA).
I don't recognize gag orders. I have a fundamental, inalienable right to free speech. It is impossible for the government to legally limit my speech. I may be held accountable for the direct consequences of my speech, but the government does not have the legal power to limit my speech. Every judge who has ruled otherwise is a traitor and a moron who can't read English at a 2nd grade level.
The article specifically says they introduced fundamental weaknesses in the algorithms by influencing their development and built specialized computing clusters to exploit those weaknesses IN ADDITION to their key gathering programs.
Articles can say a lot of things. We know the NSA is MITMing everything the can. We don't know what, if anything, the NSA did to compromise AES. Until someone provides actual evidence, and a breakdown of what effects NSA's tampering had, you can file the claim under FUD.
They censor the names of the algorithms for the NSA but mention one was adopted by NIST in 2006 and later by ISO. That would be AES ladies and gentlemen. The article strongly implies they can decode all SSL and AES in real time as it flies over the fiber... You aren't using AES anywhere are you ladies and gents?
They can decrypt anything they have the keys for. If your protocol involves generating and sending keys, then the encryption algorithm is useless against a MITM attack.
There is no reason to believe the NSA can break AES without devoting massive brute force power to do so. There is reason to believe they can MITM pretty much the entire western internet.
Encrypt it your fucking self before you send it. Send the key separately, securely.
For instance:
Install 7zip Right click the file you want to transmit Click "Add to archive..." Archive format: 7z Compression level: Whatever you need / want (I almost always use Ultra) Compression method: LZMA2 Enter a secure password Encrypt file names if you want Click OK
Then distribute the file however you want. Transmit the password to the recipient in person only.

How To Securely Store Transmit Data
Encrypt your whole fucking drive. Don't use Bitlocker or any hard drive manufacturer's built in shit that stores the key anywhere.
For instance: http://www.truecrypt.org/
How To Securely Transmit Data
Encrypt it your fucking self before you send it. Send the key separately, securely.
For instance:
Install 7zip
Right click the file you want to transmit
Click "Add to archive..."
Archive format: 7z
Compression level: Whatever you need / want (I almost always use Ultra)
Compression method: LZMA2
Enter a secure password
Encrypt file names if you want
Click OK
Then distribute the file however you want. Transmit the password to the recipient in person only.
