You just want to deny people their rightful national pride at launching the first Canadian Beavernaut... shit, even the Firefox spelling checker refuses to recognize the word!
seven years in to the stark reality posed by the threat of Islamic terrorism, I am surprised that India hasnt opted to carpet bomb Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
Seven years is the American viewpoint on that "stark reality"... for Indians it's been a lot, lot longer.
Of all the countries I've traveled, India is far and away the biggest pain in the ass to get hold of a simple prepaid SIM to stick in your cellphone. Even a little hole-in-the-wall shop wants you to fill out a detailed form, provide identification to be photocopied, provide a valid address while staying in India... all because they don't want terrorists to be able to use throwaway phones for planning and coordination of attacks.
I'm not at all surprised to see this mindset being extended into other wireless communications
One thing to keep in mind - while America received their "wake up call" in September 2001, there are other nations like India that have been battling terrorism on home soil for several decades. It's worth paying close attention to what these other nations are doing today, if you want clues to what America might be doing tomorrow.

Either way, if you wake up all groggy in a Bangkok hospital with extensive bandages and local anesthetic from the waist down, you're probably about to have a very, very bad day.
A friend of mine owned a Porsche for several years. Now and then he used to get some friendly (and sometimes not-so-friendly) ribbing about how guys who drive a Porsche are "compensating" for something else.
His response was "even if you're right, my Porsche never says no, and it always puts a smile on my face. And if I want to I can drive it five, six, or ten times a day."
The irony is that his new employer (AMD) would never touch the stolen info with a 10-foot pole. The company I work with (also in the IT sector but not hardware) has very, very clear policies around competitive information. They know just how badly it would go for them if they made use of stolen information brought in by a new (or even existing) employee.
Note: the vast majority of all fresh water processing is fueled by fossile fuel today (think sea water processing)
It gets better - as oil and natural gas run out, the "easy" oil is being used up first. That leaves the stuff that's really deep, really viscous, or problematic in other ways when it comes to extraction. What's the primary material used to aid in this difficult extraction process? That's right, water.
A good (horrific) example is the oil sands extraction industry in Alberta, which is merrily destroying the Athabasca River watershed through massive water takings and pollution.
As oil runs out, we run out of energy to deal with the looming water crisis. As water runs out we run out of the raw material needed to extract energy... fun times ahead
I like how he has a sign on the front bumper that says "oversize load"... but it is utterly dwarfed by the oversize load he is carrying.
That one goes in the archives of the department of redundancy department archives right next to "intense blazing fireball" and "Danger! Complete absence of light!"
[stockholders are] being punished for investing in a company that lied about shit products.
Have you seen the markets the last couple weeks? There must some big crapload of companies out there who lie about shit products.
... oh wait.
Shuts down for the winter?

Cern has not yet announced when it plans to carry out the first collisions, but these are expected to happen before the machine shuts down for winter.
Perhaps somebody with a good grasp of complex topics such as magnets and electricity can explain to me: why does a 27km long underground tunnel need to shut down for the winter?
I once read the Mission Earth series in its entirety. That was a long, long time ago, and while I'm pretty sure my brain has now managed to fully reroute around the damaged neurons I still feel vaguely dirty inside.

One of the greatest strengths about the internet is how easy it is to remain anonymous and that's a feature, not a bug.
If TFA had been about spam rather than a crackdown on terrorism, would you still make the same statement?

Ever since people have been treated like criminals upon entering the country I decided I would never go to the US, not even if my job demanded it.
My job does demand it ... and I am increasingly thinking it's time to start looking for new employment.
We have an election coming up in Canada on October 14. I have not heard a single thing from any of the 5 party leaders on this issue.

I'm still trying to figure out what the hell this guy even wanted in the first place .... what white dots?

Impatient much? Nobody has even chimed in yet with any Soviet Russia memes or Uranus jokes.

I would much rather take my PC to a IT guy who cheated, then be represented by the lawyer/Accountant, etc that cheated.
Why? Law and Accounting are probably the two professions where you most want a cheater on your side.

It started with the scientists, so noone has noticed anything different yet.
So that means the LHC project in Japan started when exactly?

Send lichens instead ... at least they can get a start on the soil and atmospheric composition while we sort out our own problems down here.
