No. The reason swatting is dangerous is because of those things.But that is irrelevant to the person doing the swatting - they are employing that dangerous instrument the details of why it is dangerous don' t matter in the slightest.
Just like if he was to shoot someone himself, the details of how and why a bullet damages a person is irrelevant to the crime itself.
If he was to pay some bikers to break into the victims house and hold them at gunpoint for a while, the social and economic reasons for the existence biker gangs would also be irrelevant.
Swatting is nothing less than attempted murder. People have been killed in "wrong address" SWAT raids in the past which is effectively what this is to the people being targeted. Having armed people hyped up on adrenaline (and roided up in many cases - http://www.nj.com/news/index.s...) and expecting trouble force their way into someone's house can go badly in many obvious ways, a lot of which end up with the someone dead.
Now this particular kid seems to have some large mental problems and years in prison is unlikely to help him a lot (though it will prevent him from killing someone via a SWAT raid because they didn't friend him on facebook for a those years).
Because everything works just as designed, as shown by this very probe successfully collecting data for the last seven months...
But yes an RTG would have been a much better choice, but since they haven't developed them and international treaties stop them sourcing them from the US or Russia there doesn't seem to have been that big a choice.
Computer science also isn't programming the computer. Sure it involves that like "Chemistry science" involves test tubes and fume hoods.
But just like you can do chemistry without using a test tube you can do computer science without programming a computer. And just like you can use a test tube without doing chemistry you can program a computer without doing computer science.
But yes, it would be rather strange to wander through a preschool and hear: "OK class, can anyone tell me what a pushdown automaton is? Good Sally. Now can anyone else give me an example of something a pushdown automaton can do that a finite-state automaton can not?"
Just like the video of a police officer shooting a unarmed (slowly) fleeing man should be blamed for all the resulting community uproar and unrest. After all there wasn't any uproar over the initial media reports of the incident full of all claims for such shooting ("I feared for my life", "he went for my weapon", etc).
With no whistleblowing there would be no problem. With no video there would be just another dead criminal and a another heroic officer getting a bravery award.
Because if the spying was still secret people wouldn't know about it and hence wouldn't be taking measures to try and avoid some of it. It's not still secret because of Snowden's whistleblowing.
There's a long history of government assisted industrial espionage (from all sides), so even if you aren't doing anything wrong at all knowing that everything involved in your dealings with US companies ends up in the hands of the US government and then potentially in the hands of your US competitors is a good motivation to instead choose non-US companies.
Sure their governments are probably doing the same thing anyway - but you *know for certain* the US is. And the US is likely better at it in any case.
Because seeing someone reprimanded by their boss for something is exactly the same as seeing them and their boss blown up by an airstrike. And hence they warrant the exact same level of fucks given.
No, they just stand outside things they want to blow up and rather than actually having to do all the hard work just take a selfie with gps coordinated in the exif and post if to facebook with "ISIS new headquarters" at the description/title/whatever.
If that car is going slower than you and you are about to hit it - then having the brakes applied seems preferable to using that car as device to slow you down.
If they aren't going slow enough for you to be about to hit them, then it won't apply the brakes after all.

I guess page views are all that matter.
How dumb would you have to be to offer to pay for something before seeing if it would be done for free first?

That seems like a rather large demographic. Why would targeting it be a problem?
You have a very strange idea of what not interfering is.
Lots of people given the shelf space devoted to it.
Sure, well other than them weighing the same as the solar setup it is using...

It's not a jet moron.
"same as today" is accurate way more than 2% of the time. Well OK that depends on where you live, but for a lot of people that's a great prediction.

You're already outside the US, so no that doesn't apply in the slightest.
The topic is foreign customers choosing non-US providers because they know that any data US providers touch is handed over to the NSA.
Of course it is.

You learn the language while you there, mainly because of those very things.

And they never claimed they were doing well at the point they broke whatever rules they broke, so what is your point?
If it makes you feel better, sure think that the rest of the world is as autistic as you.
No they mean MB because they even though they've crowdfunded a tiny satellite launch they are still not as autistic as you.
