Bill Nye is every bit as much a scientist as she is, and more. But of course such a simple concept as "as much" not being an upper limit is beyond her.
It looks like it's set up to be used either Joystick & ABXY or D-Pad & Joystick. Why would they line up the joysticks? It only would make sense for games you would play with joystick & joystick (a la Robotron: 2084) which would seem to be in the minority.
I take it you've never heard of a handbrake turn. Stunt drivers use the handbrake to initiate 180 degree turns because it locks the wheels causing loss of traction.
Yep, drop the embargo, pull back the curtain on the Great & Powerful Oz. Take away the Cuban government's ability to blame poverty on the US, make them deal with their problems or face the repercussions. If we haven't gotten things straightened out when it's time for Raúl Castro's presidency to come to a close, we set ourselves up for another potential 50+ years of unfriendly relations with our closest neighbor.
"Too" implies that people are still considered people, I'm not sure that is an assumption that can safely be made.Perhaps it's time for us all start incorporating to maintain our rights.
Actually it goes rather far beyond that. The Cyberman infostamps in "The Next Doctor" which contained the information the Cybermen had on the Doctor clearly show all the prior series' Doctors (Baker, Pertwee, etc). Sarah Jane Smith has run into the Doctor and recognized him as a regeneration of the Doctor she traveled with (as has K-9). The histories with all the old enemies (Cybermen, Daleks, the Master) have been preserved and continued rather than rebooted.
Since it seems you've investigated the technical side of the problem do a little leg work on the human side. Talk to one of the security guards and find out who they report to since ultimately that is who your solution must be agreeable to. Explain the situation and ask what measures would be necessary to take in a device with a disabled camera. You can look at possibly using a case, skin or just a sticker that would obscure the camera just make sure that whoever the security guards report to OKs it.
Then the next obstacle is getting the guards to understand that it has been OKd. Assuming that there is probably a small number of guards that you'll deal with get to know them and preemptively bring the subject up to them, show them the steps you've done to disable the use of the camera and let them know you've talked to their boss about it.
Be prepared for them to still balk at the idea and have equipment around that you can use if they wont let the disabled camera pass. Hopefully at this point they will ask their superior about it and he will verify that he gave his OK and next time you'll be able to take your better toys in with you.
Just keep in mind that the security guards are just trying to do their job to the best of their ability. Things that will draw their attention and almost assuredly lead to your and your disabled camera being turned away/confiscated are any attempts to sneak something past them and any attitude at all if they ask about it. And by all means never wait until discovery/discussion of the device would interrupt court proceedings as that is just a good way to piss of a judge and get yourself found in contempt.

There's no mention of any manual at all in the auction, and the only thing labeled Enigma in the pictures appear to simply be a piece of paper possibly used in a display to let people know what they are looking at. Considering it's a German machine a manual labeled anything in English would be a pretty good indicator that it's not original.
If you want to go one step better than just plain aluminum foil, get a roll of foil duct tape (not the gray stuff the McGuyver wannabes use, but the silver stuff). Not only is the duct tape opaque, you don't need anything extra to hold it in place.
P.S. The black electrical tape does work nicely for dimming overly bright LEDs (such as the blue ones that are the rage).

I was hoping for April Fools
Thanks a milliard for the update.
Because it doesn't even lift
No one said the Zero was purpose built to be a kamikaze, I believe the parent poster was referring to the Ohka.
Luckily, ATMOS doesn't suffer from such security flaws.

Don't be silly, they're wireless. Flashlights and signal mirrors.

Yeah, I meant *one of our* closest, not closest. Obviously Mexico and Canada are closer.

If you buy anything from their shop, they post your credit card info and billing address online.
FOX has now been linked with North Korea and the Ground Zero Imam. They've clearly taken over Iraq's place in the Axis of Evil. When do we invade?

Just hope your PIN doesn't have a zero in it.

I didn't have to not read it 3 times to not know what it didn't mean.
