I don't mind it as long as all Russian oblast' are covered by new Ukraine. I merely want unity and Ukrainian equally fits as descendant of language of Rus'. If you're able to unify us I'm with you.
Don't worry, it'll happen. Novgorod and Kiev were founding cities of Russian nation and they'll return to one nation state once again. Liberal-Xenopatriot government government under your friend Putin won't be able to delay it anymore.
I actually want Russian military to occupy Ukraine. It was molested by a bunch of president-thieves and Russian integration would be way better. But Putin's government is direct successor to Eltsin's government. They're just a bunch of Western fanboys. They're not in accord with "west" only due to blatant failure of US and european diplomacy to establish more or less amicable contact with them. This government won't actually occupy Ukraine, they're just another bunch of US puppets that got betrayed by said US but still go through the motion emulating it. Space program is just another facet of this emulation of "west". As relations worsen, desire for such emulation lessens. But Russia itself is culturally part of "west"(nation was founded by a Scandinavian viking possibly from Roslagen, England and many other europian countries have similar history) and would be a good ally for countries like US and Germany in coming geopolitical confrontation with China, if their diplomats didn't fuck it all up. Their blatantly stupid intervention in Yugoslavia and middle east shows some unacceptable double standards. Who cares what Milosevic did when his enemies did the same and only he got singled out because he's Serbian? And all Serbians are made suffer for him alone. And everyone who conducts genocide against people who even remotely were/are affiliated with Russia or USSR(e.g. Ossetians or Serbians) are funded and rewarded by NATO.
You think firing some surplus soviet missiles is stretching economy in any way? Not nearly as much as world war II and that proved pretty survivable.. But Russia's international policy indeed got more aggressive after Serbia gets picked on just because it's too Orthodox for someone tastes and was USSR's ally in the past, and Syria gets picked on because it is ruled by a more or less secular(by local standards) socialist party, and NATO keeps maintaining occupation zone in Ukraine while Ukraine and Russia should just merge already like West and East Germany.
Russia as a country has pretty much self-sufficient economy. All this sanctions and currency exchange rate bullshit works like protectionism measure to support local businesses by protecting them from competition with foreign importers, perhaps it was even coordinated between Russia's and US/Europe governments behind closed doors.
The key issue here is his lack of ability to perform such an act on his own thus this doesn't warrant any prison time. Rather than that, less severe rehabilitation program must be employed. I'm sorry, but I simply will never accept that imprisoning someone who doesn't have means to commit some crime for attempting to commit that crime would ever make sense.
He wasn't part of a plot to set off a bomb. FBI investigators didn't actually plan to set off the bomb, so there was no bomb plot to be part of. Police workers shouldn't be encouraged to set up fake crimes, their job is to stop crimes, not to commit them. There is no place in prisons for all people that would be willing to commit a crime under some particular circumstances if they were provided means for it by a third party, entire humanity would end in prison if such legal regime is adhered to consistently. There should be and there are charges for conspiracy to commit a crime(though prison term is a lot lower than for actually committed crime), but this particular case doesn't involve a conspiracy, this was merely a psychological experiment by FBI.
Actually it's more than that. I don't think it makes sense to imprison people for intent alone. And the whole problem here that they only showed intent, and even then showed it imperfectly. He wasn't actually involved in bombing plot, and whether he thought he was or not doesn't matter. Justice should only ever punish things that were actually happening. It makes sense to punish members of a bombing plot that was prevented but in this case there just was no plot at all! There was nothing to prevent, so there's nothing to punish.
"Arrest before they commit something illegal" implies that they're capable of committing something illegal, and that boy clearly wasn't. FBI provided explosives, planning and everything else. He only was capable of pushing the button and it's not enough to be useful part of a mass murder plot. Real terrorists wouldn't employ someone as useless as him and he couldn't pull it off alone.
I think the whole case is pointless. It simply makes no sense to convict anyone for something they didn't do. There was no crime, there was no possibility of crime happening. It only proves that he could trigger the detonation of a bomb to kill people if manipulated by someone. But being such a person is clearly not a crime. Maybe this could be a reason for supervision and psychological support, but 30 years in prison is ridiculous.
Exterminating all non-muslims were part of original rise of caliphate under Muhammad, and Koran is full of his butthurt due to being ridiculed by jews and pagan arabs. Later there were indeed some religiously tolerant caliphs in arab empires, some of them even being defacto atheists. But those were merely temporary exceptions before they decided to abandon reason and build order based on unconditional adherence to religious book built from concentrated butthurt.
It is millenia old islamic tradition to purge all heterodox religions or ideologies they can with extreme prejudice, such as polytheists, Christians, Zoroastrians and the most hated of them, muslims of different branches such as Sunni vs Shia. Any sort of disagreement they consider a threat. And they're not alone in that. Even "civilized" nations are full of such mindset. Only threat of mutual nuclear destruction prevents large scale wars. Actually, that gives an idea: someone should give some nuclear weapons to IS. There's just no way they could expand in any way after that. Any future war would result in MAD so they wouldn't able to war anymore.
Nobody said they work for catching actual terrorists. They exist only for peace of mind and illusion of safety. Competent investigators do their work while incompetent ones gathers astronomic amount of useless data.
Indeed it's not new and it's very hard to do much new development here. Trying to sneak past enemy radars will be always a hard task which could be confounded by intelligence being obsolete or mobile defenses being in unanticipated places. Besides, actual high value targets will be always well covered by radar thus only undefended places will be civilian locales making this bomber basically a weapon of terrorism. I think only sane approach to dealing with properly constructed anti-air grid would be to destroy it with a massive cruise missile volley, and bombers would be useless here because they can't carry enough missiles.
Still laws of physics don't change and land based radars have inherent advantage, simply because they can have an order of magnitude more power at their disposal due to being connected to the power grid. And puny planes don't even have nuclear power plants installed..
Why are inmates charged in the first place? Their calls are already limited by prison rules, it would make sense for prison to pay for the calls just like the prison covers their other necessities. The prison itself is in a far better bargaining position and would be able to get fair rates from phone companies, thus fixing this market failure and resulting in greater economic efficiency.
There's no way Chinese government could control all script kiddies on their territory and make them stop. I don't see any lie on part of Chinese here, US just made a really dumb and nonsensical request to them and they agreed because it's dangerous to argue with a madman.
What's the difference if Linus calls something "crap" rather than "contribution of limited utility"? I think it's acceptable that he uses right and direct language to express his frustration. Anything else would be dishonest. The very difference between normative language and non-normative language is arbitrary and I think it should go. Actual lkml posts doesn't reveal anything other than Linus sometimes using expletives, that's not enough to actually make environment toxic. People are just lazy and judge only by individual words without seeing full picture.

Custom engines are so XX century!
Do Mesa devs have early access too and do they take a part in development?
Unless you're building a cluster from those rpis.
What could he have told Putin which, when relayed to ISIS, helped them organize the massacre?
Whatever it was, it was clearly relayed in a note attached to one of cruise missiles launched at ISIS positions..

Isn't stealth technology ineffective against the kinds of radars found in dedicated anti-air defense systems such as S-300?

Yes we should really abandon this sick habit of shortening everything at expense of clarity. Brotli is short enough to not to require abbreviation.
It got sabotaged by corporate interests. Those clowns changed it to suit their needs and then didn't even bother to use it.
