Disrupting the structural integrity of the 747 so it became lots of little pieces of 747 would greatly lessen the damage it could do to a building. The engines and other large chunks might cause a few people to have a very bad day but the building would be fine.
Why would the cops care? They have "evidence", someone ends up in the pokey, and they get to be "tough on crime". Everyone is guilty of something so whoever they do throw the book at had it coming anyways.
"Wait... since when does WoW focus on "casual" gamers? I'm sorry, but a game that I have to play often just too feel that I have made my 15$/month worthwhile isn't what I call "casual"."
If the boss fights don't have a duration of at least three days (72 consecutive hours), it is a casual game.
(b) Don't practice on the boat. (l) getting hijacked would have a direct bearing on passage, so measures to not be hijacked would have a direct bearing on passage.
And as far as allowing armed MVs in our ports... So what? We have nukes, the Russians have nukes and you think they'd do something stupid with small arms from an armed MV? Boom sticks stay on the boats while they are in port and no harm, no foul.
"This is my point. They were trained navy men, not merchants."
The snipers were necessary because of the hostage.
If there isn't a friendly amongst the targets you can substitute volume of fire for accuracy of fire.
Hitting a moving target with a single shot can be tricky. Just about anyone can walk a line of tracers onto a target and on a super tanker you shouldn't have to worry about not being able to have a sufficient load out of ammunition. You don't even have to hit the people, enough holes in their little boat and they'll be having a very bad day.
Ya, totally not the fault of all the highly paid "experts" who thought that the house-of-cards that was the housing bubble and sub-prime mortgages would never (or at least before they bailed out with their platinum parachutes) fall. It was all that evil government messing with them that caused this!
Apparently it is too much to ask to get the original recording (not re-recording) of the Patton soundtrack...
I want to give people (a reasonable amount of) money for that, but no one will let me, at least on the first sale level. Due to scarcity, it has a high price on the second hand market and would probably be a great candidate for a digital only release. But noooooo, we can't be giving the customer a chance to give us money.
Of course you can get (at) the full score if you buy the collector's edition dvd... for $9, new. And the you have the whole fricken movie as well.
And some of us didn't have a PS1 back in the day so getting a PSP to play the re-release of old PS1 games was a much more convenient and eventually cheaper option than tracking down the original PS1 discs (like Valkyrie Profile, FFT).
The problem I have is that when you start casually mixing things like the method of attack with the target of the attack (cyber attack vs. attack on cyberspace) it muddies up the language and provides far too much fodder for the shout-loudly-at-each-other-and-call-it-analysis media to go off half-cocked on.
It doesn't take much thinking to come up with examples of things that sound like or look like other things but get wrongly lumped in with the other things by the general populace (and the media and politicians) that drive those in the know crazy.
Another benefit of keeping all the bells and whistles in an external box is that you don't have to get a virus scanner for your tv to keep the tv itself from being rooted by some flash vulnerability.
It'd be nice to still have some devices left that you don't have to reboot or reinstall daily or weekly.
Have you driven through a low or no tax state like South Dakota on anything other than the interstate?
Those "roads" are what happens when you don't put in the needed amount of funding. Do you honestly think any private entity would put one cent more into those roads than what it takes to get keep them classified as a road and not some human caused geographical anomaly?
Even before the internal combustion engine roads have been a governmental issue. Just ask the Romans. Their road system was a critical piece of their infrastructure.
Hmm, three hour drive to hit the outskirts of the Cities (and then having to deal with the psychotic traffic) or an hour drive and two hours of sitting around to use the Fargo airport...
Those train tickets would have to be damned cheap.
What's the point of worrying about power leveling CoX?
CoX isn't WoW. In WoW, the game begins at 80 when you start raiding.
In CoX, the game begins at, well, level 1. There's no big raid-or-die endgame. So what if someone gets to 50 before you? Unless they're playing a DC MA mission they won't be getting anything but tickets and xp and I'm pretty sure the farming maps aren't going to get a DC. You're missing a lot of opportunities for the rare random stuff to drop.
Only pretentious jerks buy toothpaste. Wood ash does just fine. All those sheeple paying the "I don't have the taste of wood ash all day" tax, it's sad really.
Handbrake has presets for the iPod as well and with the most recent version it will handle various file formats as well as its tradition DVD capabilities. Either double click the resulting files or just drop them onto iTunes.
Copy and paste music file management isn't computer savvy. It's a masochistic tendency of anal-retentive people who failed to realize the nineties are over and that metadata is good.
Good ol' carbon footprint. Best racket ever invented. You can sell a solution to a problem that doesn't exist and to solve the problem (after others have paid you (immense amounts of cash) to do so for them) is to do nothing!
Got a technology that would be inconvenient for your pocketbook? Say it has a large carbon footprint. Got a company that isn't paying you money yet? Pass cap and trade legislation and make them pay you. And just by coincidence you have the only [product] that meets carbon footprint standards...
At least we know the price for their morals and ethics.
I mean, who could turn a high paying job where you twist the letter of the law to murder the spirit and intent of the law of the land? It's a high paying job, so it must be the right thing to do!
Or you could do something *legal* and support non-??AA artists.
Supporting iTunes, Netflix, eMusic and friends shows that there are people that will pay for content delivered digitally.
Hitting up TPB for things available through legal outlets just shows that you're some whiny brat who wants to eat his cake and have it too, for free. You want ??AA backed artists but you don't want to pay for them. Not downloading anything, anywhere would be better than giving the ??AA the finger and setting a course for Scandinavian trackers.
(And generally civil disobedience only works when it isn't a convenient thing to do for the protester. Sitting in the white only section of a bus with a good risk of getting ejected, beaten or both is civil disobedience. Getting music for free, not so much.)
Actually, in the long run it'd be a very good thing if a band of Somali pirates got their hands on some nuke fuel.
The pirates themselves don't have the capability to convert it into anything more than a dirty bomb.
The pirates could sell the material to the terrorist organization du jour. They might be able to make a slightly more effective dirty bomb out of it.
That's if the focused attention from the bulk of the western world hasn't given Somalia a new coastline that is twenty miles further inland than the old one.
Somalia is an honest-to-diety failed state. The U.N.'s negligence in this matter is criminal. Iraq and Afghanistan, while not friendly with us were at least stable. (So we go in and destabilize them...) Meanwhile a country that should have intense international attention is ignored. Sadly, it's going to take a few Americans getting offed to trigger the good ol' Pearl Harbor reaction. It's going to suck for those few Americans but those Somali pirates are in need of a history lesson on what the phrase "to the shores of Tripoli" is referring to and that no country does knee-jerk reactions like we do (and when we do it the whole world feels it).

So now a "cyber" attack includes the physical destruction of hardware/infrastructure without any exploitation of any programming logic?
If you can't innovate, litigate.
