Actually, aircraft carriers allow the navy to have a mobile airbase for performing air strikes on an opponent without needing a friendly local nation to offer them an airbase.
High G turns are still and relevant even with BVR combat. However, NO JET can sustain 15G (or even 9 G) either now or in the near future. The peak G loadings fighters are capable of bleed airspeed at a massive rate and are only used briefly for evasion or to point the nose in a hurry for weapons delivery. New, high angle off-boresight missiles will make this less of a problem (you can shoot the guy without pointing the nose at him). There are pilots who can do 10 or 12 G anyhow (see red bull air race).
History has shown that fighter technical superiority is NO MATCH for a superior pilot. The ability to pull 15 G means nothing if the on board computer is unable to formulate an effective strategy and reliably not be gamed by the other side. Controlling via drone-link from hundreds of miles away will not give the drone operator pilot the same level of situational awareness.
Whilst FIGHTERS exist, pilots will be in them. What is more likely to happen is the entire class of aircraft is scrapped and we end up with high speed high altitude stealth bombers, cruise missiles and recon drones. Not drone dogfighting aircraft.
If you want a device that runs unsigned code from anywhere: don't buy an iOS device.
There are plenty of (awesome, so i hear) alternative android devices. Some people (myself included) consider running signed code only as a FEATURE. I've been there and done that with fixing malware infested PCs for long enough and un-rooting poorly maintained linux boxes for long enough to know that code signing is a good thing for 99% of end users.
So you've personally audited the jailbreak tool you used to make sure it hasn't installed a backdoor/trojan/timebomb/account sniffer before it patched the hole to stop someone else owning you? Thought not.
So basically you're saying so long as you don't install anything you need to jailbreak to install because it won't be allowed on google play, you're fine.
No, the view is the device should JUST WORK without having to worry about what you install, and whether or not it will own you.
We can argue whether or not they've attained that or not, but this is the goal. The past 30 years of personal computing has proven that users need to be protected from themselves and others.
The 1% of users who jailbreak or even give a fuck about anything not on the app store or google play are not the target demographic.
You can "unlock" the device, assuming you have a mac to run the dev kit for 99 bucks a year. This is what I've done. I can compile/run whatever the fuck i want, and am still protected from unsigned, unvetted code, and don't have to run some dodgy hack by a third party who may or may not have trojanned the shit out of it.
An android phone is going to have to offer me some stupendously good KILLER feature for me to give up my application library, icloud sync with my macs and ipad, and to get me to bother to learn a different UI. Being as good or even marginally better is not good enough I'm afraid, due to my investment in the platform. I'm sure i'm not the only one in that situation. And i've yet to see an android handset actually make me want to switch.
It doesn't mean you're not hacked. It means you have no fucking idea WHAT is running unless you've personally audited it. There is NOTHING to stop any jailbreak author from installing a trojan/timebomb in the jailbreak itself. You're relying on goodwill alone. I mean, you haven't audited the jailbreak code, have you? Has anyone? No... didn't think so.
This. You'd think we would have learned the lessons from running unsigned code from anywhere during the past 30 years of desktop computing. But apparently, some haven't. If you want to run random shit on your iphone, get yourself a code signing cert, download and compile from source whatever you like and install it on your device - without exposing yourself to whatever trojan this week's jailbreak potentially has installed in it. It's not hard.
He was blunt, but nowhere near the level of vitriol, and i followed the LKML between 96 and 2003 enough to get a pretty good idea of what he was like back then.
Whether or not i actually agree with his point is irrelevant. Acting that way on a development mailing list for an OS that is attempting to be mainstream and used by real companies just makes him (and by association, the LKML) look like a fuckwit.
A 12 bay NAS barely qualifies as a player in the "storage market". Something that size is hardly what I'd call "dominating the storage market". Wake me up when there's a product on the market that scales to multiple PB.

The Battle of Britain, and the Korean War would tend to disagree with your assessment. Pilot skill is far more important.

IMHO, anyway.
You can run whatever you like with a dev account. They're cheap.

Thats a bug, not a feature (both in apple's case, and android). If you can root the device, so can other software.
So basically you're saying so long as you don't install anything you need to jailbreak to install because it won't be allowed on google play, you're fine.

Except they're not. They're both made form parts in china, but not the same chinese parts. They've also got totally different firmware. Try again.
If you run l2tp/ipsec it just works.
Look up the cost of a code signing certificate from any root CA. it's relatively comparable, and they don't include developer tool support.

Obviously it would be an option.
How about also DISABLING/muting audio in all inactive tabs?
Because it can be turned off or other keys can be uploaded to it.
Of course. However he could have said "no, we're not doing that it's a brain damaged idea (optionally: because X)".
Not "you suck all the dicks!!11
It's a mailing list, for discssion of the kernel. not alt.flame
