Lol, trust me, I believe in the power of "nuts" in large numbers... but how many boat launches do you think there will be once they start deciding it might not be worth playing russian roulette with a Predator?
Oh wait, I see another one... I wonder if that one still has any... {carrier lost} [lol]
Sunburn. This weapon has a top speed of Mach 3,[1][2] and is considered one of the most lethal anti-ship missiles in the world.[3] The high speed of the missile means a typical response time for the target of only 25 to 30 seconds, giving a target little time to react. Moskit can be armed with a warhead of 320 kg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS-N-22
A Sunburn can destroy a carrier. See also, Mosqit and Silkworm.
Hypersonic missile threat 'Carrier killers' could destroy U.S. Navy's supremacy at sea'
"...there is presently no reliable defence against the much faster next generation of anti-ship missiles. These weapons are designed to travel at hypersonic speeds -- greater than Mach 5, or 6,100 km/h -- and therefore present a much more lethal threat." http://bit.ly/sUAeVi
"Cosmetic damage", fuck off.
I see your Sunburn and raise you a Phalanx CIWS.
Upgrades Due to the continuing evolution of both threats and computer technology, the Phalanx system has, like most military systems, been developed through a number of different configurations. The basic (original) style is the Block 0, equipped with first generation solid state electronics and with marginal capability against surface targets. The Block 1 (1988) upgrade offered various improvements in radar, ammunition, rate of fire, increasing engagement elevation to +70 degrees, and computing. These improvements were intended to increase the system's capability against emerging Russian supersonic anti-ship missiles. Block 1A introduced a new computer system to counter more maneuverable targets. The Block 1B PSuM (Phalanx Surface Mode, 1999) adds a forward looking infrared (FLIR) sensor to allow the weapon to be used against surface targets.[11] This addition was developed to provide ship defense against small vessel threats and other "floaters" in littoral waters and to improve the weapon's performance against slower low-flying aircraft. The FLIR's capability is also of use against low-observability missiles and can be linked with the RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) system to increase RAM engagement range and accuracy. The Block 1B also allows for an operator to visually identify and target threats.
If you ever get a 'rare' opportunity to be around one of those during a test fire, lol... do it. FU-UH-KIN IM-PRESSIVE. Feels like someone is doing the Taiko Drums on your chest. But then, I do have a crush on the Vulcan Gatling gun.
And on the same note... "Suicide boat" it is... since they can target waterborne craft now as well.
Not to mention the fact that there are a lot of legitimate fishing-boats out there. The war mongers attitude of shooting everything that moves would not go over all that well.
If you're too fucking dumb to stay out of the middle of a war-power nation pissing match... you deserve to get your puny fishing boat obliterated.
Don't read this as saying it's right, or justified, I'm just saying, there is rioting and looting going on or a gangland battle, are you really stupid enough to try to go to work, if you have to cross the middle?
They just need to make the war sufficiently expensive either financially or politically to continue.
Perhaps, but Iran isn't in a vacuum. They would need to carry on that fight in the face of serious opposition from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Russia, & China, all of whom don't particularly care for the kind of conflict such action would bring. As much as Russia may hate the US, neither China nor Russia particularly care for a belligerent Iran attempting to close the Strait or flinging missiles at people trying to use it. There would be nothing simple at all about Iran making war sufficiently expensive for anyone.
Not sure, beyond war, why Russia would care if the strait is closed?
And China is an ally of Iran.
So, as much as I'm sure we could pound them into the ground... uh, pound them into Davy Jones' Locker... I think the ramifications are going to be disproportionate if China gets involved.
Plus expenditures in time, people, money, will leave us soft for another leader that wants to cause conflict with us. ie, Kim Jong Un.
I vote for... let's NOT see what our armadas can do. And try some diplomacy, like we're adults.
It has been mentioned in other comments and I did RTFA but how is this news?
I'm sorta on the fence about studies that prove a known.
I can't imagine that this would be much different than any other members of a group taking on malevolent activities to create a dichotomy of the group of those that accept, tolerate and abhor the activities. IRL, Drugs, crime, sex, etc. Nothing new there. [That's what I mean, with proving a 'known'. Yes, more data points but still.]
Furthermore I'm certain this will follow patterns regarding how people treat/consider their online personas. Allowing for more flamboyant and extroverted activities to arise and thus once again polarizing them from others online. That would be cheating, hacking, griefing, etc.
Add to that, when someone begins to either a) assume a persona that may provide a thrill/excitement that they don't get IRL or b) befriends those that do, the social aspect can actually be HIGHER, as they have suddenly become a denizen of a guild and have achieved 'geek power'. So, contrary to the 'assumptions' of this study there can actually be a higher kinship, (re: gangs IRL) with brethren that share a cause.
So... another possible title. "People that share questionable proclivities risk ostracization" Or, "Introverts discover world of peers, open up and become social" but that title is probably too happy sounding for 'news' nowadays.
The point of Linux, and of Open Source in general, is that the vast majority of time one spends on a computer is not the day (or few days even) it takes to install an OS. The vast majority of time is spent developing that OS into something useable in day-to-day work. And the most time-efficient way of doing that is to get a freely-modifiable operating system into the hands of as many people as possible, give them the means to collaborate, and enable them build the most effective tools and programs possible.

Your comments were a bit harsh RE not having friends. Not having a FB account means nothing. Some people don't see or feel the need to have one despite having any number of friends. After all, there is no expectation that one ever have a FB account. It's a choice like eating at one restaurant over another. IMHO, FB is a sheeple farm, plain and simple. I'd much rather hang out with friends over cigars and wine, not virtually. I also rather despise the lack of privacy one has using FB, regardless of settings. Social networking has set the bar for a more transparent society, Not everyone likes this. I rather like my privacy, actually, and if and when I choose to share it should be on my express and sole terms.
Perhaps, but cigars and wine might speak more than no friends.
Look, my point is... the 99% have friends and/or family on Facebook, it has fully permeated the U.S.
By swearing off Facebook you are saying you have neither friends nor family on Facebook (at least neither that you care enough to join for).
I find that hard to believe. See, I'm sticking up for you there. But if any of your 'real life friends' look down upon you for being on Facebook... well, that kinda goes back to my original statement.
Maybe you are sufficiently old or perhaps live in a sufficiently small enough town not to have the need to use a social aggregator, cause your area is already small enough to make it redundant.
But even my totally small (under 60k) town that I grew up in, has dozens of friends from High School on there. Or at least now that I reconnected with them, they have become 'friends' again. Some of course just acquaintances.
In my line of work, I need to be 'social' or I don't get clients. I guess, there is still a segment of society that doesn't need to be 'that social'.
As far as every comment I have ever seen, regarding people on Facebook as "sheeple" or other disparaging comments. That is like going to a bar and claiming all humans are drunken fools.
I had the unfortunate experience to talk to a person who condemned all that was Facebook, because it "ruins lives". Wonder how her kids will feel about her COPD cause of that cigarette she was smoking.
Would you say the same if you saw a naked ugly couple going at it right at the front entrance to your favorite store?
Well, yeah... typically the only people that would be distraught over that are people that were taught that the naked body is shameful and that sex is dirty, etc.
I wasn't, I guess you were?
Personally I would just shrug and hop over them and go about my day.
Lol, that's funny, you're imagining missionary while I was imagining, the tree or camel's hump or suspended congress. And why they gotta be in your way? Let's talk about this.
No love for Facebook. I've never joined and won't join just because they're the only choice for some web site of questionable use. Twitter is my social network choice, because they are more open; my words, good or bad, aren't hidden from non-members.
I have to chuckle when I see people adamantly say they won't join / haven't joined Facebook.
Just make it simple and say, you don't have enough friends to warrant joining.
Facebook is a tool. If you don't know how to use a tool, then yes... DO NOT PICK IT UP.
Just guessing, but if your summary had been more summary like and less editorial, it might have gotten more attention.

To be honest, I was in high school in 1991, so it's not like I would have been fully aware of bad vs. good banking, but I do remember ATMs not having fees, and I don't remember any fees with our bank that I/we used in high school; it was called NBC, and we only picked it because they had a branch inside our local grocery store. A few years later, I got my first credit union account in college, not because of banks being bad, but because that CU had a branch on-campus and so was the most convenient option. After that, I always had CU accounts, and it was later (like the 2000s) where I started hearing all these horrible things about banks and thanking my lucky stars I was already using CUs.
Not only that... but I completely missed when they transitioned from: No monthly fee, and a charge per each transaction, ie checks written, etc -to- A monthly fee IF YOU DON'T have a certain amount of transactions
Obviously it was a business model change where they realized that transactions MADE them money, thus they PENALIZE you for not allowing them to MAKE money off of SOMEONE.
Lol, yeah, I regret waiting and getting a 7 digit... unfortunately back before all the social sites made 'hiding' online pointless, I made it a point to be REALLY anonymous.
