Useful, but I wonder if drivers have the option of opting out of being tracked. GM should offer an opt-out, but also offer an incentive for drivers to opt-in. That way, you raise awareness and transparency to what they are doing plus most people would probably opt-in for a reasonable incentive (like first scheduled maintenance is free or something like that...)
Competent black hats *who take the proper precautions* brag publicly.
No. There is zero benefit to having people know what you're up to as a black hat. That's like leaving riddles inside the bank safe.
Not really. It's like leaving riddles in a bank safe that is so insecure that almost anyone can just walk in and take customers money. It's like leaving riddles that humiliate the bank operator into taking the right fucking precautions to protect the customers money.
I was under the impression that you could trim the aircraft in such a way as to get the desired AoA (in combination with the appropriate throttle setting) to get out of a situation like this. I read somewhere that this situation happens more than you would think. I searched for a bit, but can't find the link....
Busily exploring our world. Wow. It almost brought a tear to my eye....is that weird? Something about watching those telescopes buzzing away with activity against that background....
...just to make sure. Isn't this story like a week old? From a news story on 5/22:
"According to reports, NASA investigators had been targeting the woman for several months in suspicion of the potential illegal sale of a moon rock. The final meeting between the parties took place in a restaurant in Lake Elsinore, CA, where the woman offered to sell the alleged hunk of the moon for $1.7 million to an undercover NASA official.
'After conversation, the moon rock was produced inside the restaurant (and) several (sheriff's) investigators and NASA agents moved in on the suspect, took possession of the rock and detained the suspect,' said Sheriff's Sgt. Todd Paulin in an interview with KPSP Local 2 News.
Authentic pieces of the moon, collected by astronauts who have been there, are considered national treasures and, as such, it's illegal to sell them per federal law. The unidentified woman attempting to sell her chunk of moon rock hasn't been arrested, however—investigators need to first determine whether the rock is legitimately from the moon."
All aircraft have a "safe-mode" angle of attack and throttle setting that would ensure stable and safe flight until they could figure out what was going on.
As long as their gyros were working (which they most certainly were, hello redundancy), they should have pulled through this as other flights that go through this ALL THE TIME have....
Is it the same area of the brain that is triggered when apple (or MS or google or etc) hating trolls see an article about apple (or MS or google or etc), especially one that seems to correlate with their preconceived notions? I've always wondered what area of the brain triggers salivation...
We already monitor ULF in several high risk areas. Radon counts would be interesting.
"The California Magnetic Network (CalMagNet) concept involves placing Ultra-Low-Frequency (ULF) based sensors along the major faults throughout California as a pilot network that will lay the groundwork for similar networks throughout the world. The data collected will allow researchers not only to validate the technique but also to provide data for the development of earthquake warning programs."

Here is a list of hardware and software this guy used. Nice to see open source software contributing to this amazing project.
Hardware:
Cameras—Finger Lakes ML-8300 monochrome
Lenses—Zeiss Sonnar 85mm f2.8
Filters—Astronomik LRGB, Astrodon Ha
Mount—Takahashi EM-11 Temma 2 w/ custom armature
Generator—Yamaha EF1000iS for USA trips
Laptop—Intel Core i7-820QM running Linux Fedora, 8GB RAM w/ 4TB external storage
Software:
MaximDL—mount control, image capture, and creation of calibration frames (dark, bias, flat)
IRAF—many scripted tasks such as up-scaling, registration, saturated pixel replacements with scaled exposures, stacking, and median background modeling
SExtractor—building each frames list of objects
SCAMP—cross referencing to create position and distortion headers
Swarp—reprojection and stitching of frames
PixInsight—generate final LRGBHa color composite, midtones transfer function, noise reduction
GIMP—final assembly, curve & saturation tweaks
I have no better words to describe that image. I'm going to stop working now and just stare at this image for the next 30 minutes or so and just wonder....
I always thought RPN was a ridiculously complicated way to evaluate expressions. Looking back after having seen the light, I don't see how I would have made it through two engineering degrees without it.
The Voyager probes are approximately three months younger than me. All my life, I have followed the magical images and data these probes have been sending back to earth. In fact, it was the first images of saturn and jupiter that inspired me to be a scientist. It wasn't the pharma industry in which I work now. It wasn't the lure (lie?) of riches received for making the next big discovery. It was those probes, hurling through space sending back the most fascinating shit my young mind had ever witnessed. I spent almost my entire youth with my head buried in encyclopedias and books about astronomy, all made possible by Voyager 1 and 2. In the end I chose a different science path, but who knows...I could have ended up being a financial analyst (**shudders**)

Fucking mirrors. I win for pennies on the dollar.

Just need to check something...
I know, redundant. But fuck. you've got to be kidding me! I think you are kidding. Nice lulz. This is a joke. Right?
And suddenly the internets cried out in pain as the simultaneous upload of a billion boobie pics strained its' tubes to the core.
I think his comment still stands.

Would little snitch have caught the offending program phoning home? Although he probably looked to see if the users had this installed.

...The astronauts on board the International Space Station are not accelerating... they're in a continous free fall....
Yikes. Oh public schools, how you have failed us!
And in this case, I am referring to the submission. Yikes. Hook, line and sinker...
Nope, just a boner (just make sure you're holding it right)

It would be interesting to add radon detectors to the CalMagNet ULF sensors that are already in place in California.
They already look at magnetic anomolies, air conductivity, and IR (GOES).

Being stupid is one thing. Being intentionally stupid?...well that's just a different level of stupid.
Don't do it. The world is just not ready.
