When you say "this marine clearly knows nothing", are you referring to yourself, or the person quoted in the article and pictured in the video clearly wearing Navy lieutenant insignia?
What are your own calculations on the cost of generating 15-50kw of power on a ship which displaces over 16,000 tons and can move at 20 knots, how much power do you think it can generate? Now let's assume that the laser also has its own generator.
Sure, but if you just destroy some poor bastard's eyes then another poor bastard will just jump in and continue moving the weapon. Makes more sense to disable the weapon than the operator.
I think there's a certain amount of urban legend in that whole reflective surface defense strategy. First off, the surface would have to be nearly perfectly reflective. If there are any imperfections at all it seems like they would rapidly heat up, creating larger imperfections, and the runaway effect would quickly destroy any reflectivity. Granted, if it's a 50kw laser then it doesn't need to reflect very much for very long to damage someone looking right into the reflected beam, but I still think the usefulness and practicality of actually fielding a target with reflective armor which a laser would fire at is vastly overstated. It seems kind of silly to go through the trouble to coat a drone, boat, or missile in reflective material when it's probably only going to buy the target another second of life before the laser destroys the reflective coating.
Right, the request of a total lack of communication to the media from the people he's talking to really suggests a sales pitch. Unless you think he's on a mission to go around the country trying to sell Facebook usage to individual people, which seems a little bit inefficient.
What do you have to lose? If he's coming to you, it only requires an hour or so of your time, nothing else. For one, I'd like to explain to him why I have a Facebook account but have chosen to not store the fact that I'm married in their database, and why I rarely post anything. I'd also like to tell him why I shut off all notifications from the Facebook app on my phone. I'd also like to bring up a few issues where his money could make a world of difference.
It's not a paperclip, it's a money clip! Two totally different things!
Right, one of them holds papers, and the other holds... different papers.
$185 is actually pretty reasonable as far as money clips go.
Maybe, if you're an idiot. For people who desire utility instead of trying to point out to everyone that they decided to spend $185 to keep their money together, you can get this for a whole lot less than $185.
I bought two of the mid-range models and it was the first time in my life I truly understood what status symbols were about.
Right, and who's going to know what your status is unless you tell them? I prefer going on the internet and telling everyone about the stupid purchases I make just because I have so much money. It makes me feel better about myself.
I checked the last few pages of my post history to figure out what you're seeing, but nope, there's just the above post, and then the other reply to you farther down referring to this post.
But, good job on avoiding the actual topic or saying anything of substance or value. That's very presidential of you.
But 8chan has now doxxed 6 CNN anchors: David Chalian, Wolf Blitzer, Erik Erickson, Brian Stelter, Don Lemon, and Daniel Merica.
Fuck yeah. I can finally pull up the Wolf Blitzer contact on my phone and fill in the phone number. I've frequently wanted to get his opinion on various things that happen.
Also, disappointed that Daniel Merica's parents did not name him Alan or Alex. Or Aaron. Or Ambrose.

He already covered this higher up in the thread, he suffers from the Dunning-Kruger effect. He is completely confident that everything he just said is funny and intelligent.
I try to go there every time I'm in Vegas. It's really the only city where I can justify spending $120 for a steak, since I can go and win enough for my wife and I to eat there. Their side dishes are pretty awesome also.
They actually did a study a while ago and found out that conservative people are more capable at making decisions. That's why more things happen per week with Trump than during the entire Obama administration, who was petrified in doubt and insecurity.
So, a real-life example of the Dunning-Kruger effect?
In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein persons of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority derives from the metacognitive inability of low-ability persons to recognize their own ineptitude. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence.
That's the thing which causes idiots to charge forward with complete confidence in a terrible plan, while more intelligent people have a better understanding of everything they know and don't know which causes them to doubt their plans or ideas. Trump and Obama are contrasting case-studies on this effect.
Sure, Trump "gets things done", but the problem is that the things he is getting done are things that no one wants him to do. I don't think anyone elected him hoping that he would sit in the White House and troll people on Twitter all day, I doubt that's why he was elected.
more things happen per week with Trump than during the entire Obama administration
That's one of those "alternative facts", isn't it? Do you have numbers of how many "things happened" during the entire Obama administration, versus how many "things happen" per week for Trump? Or are you just spouting random hyperbole with no basis in reality, completely confident that you sound funny or intelligent?
Or, were you referring to golf outings or vacation days specifically? If you want to pull up some numbers on how many times Trump or Obama play golf or take vacation days, then that statement about more things happening per week with Trump than during the entire Obama administration might make more sense.
I want to reassure you about Queen Elizabeth, the security around its computer system is properly protected and we don't have any vulnerability on that particular score.
The security is protected. Even the security has security, how can it get better than that?
It's like, how much more secure could this be? And the answer is none. None more secure.
What, you mean in the United States, by the United States Constitution, which wouldn't apply to Germany anyway? Are you talking about the fourth amendment? Because, and I'm not a lawyer or anything, but I bet that if a ransomware campaign publishes an email address to use to send extortion payment info, I'm pretty sure that investigation of that email account would not be classified as "unreasonable search". That search sounds pretty reasonable to me. In fact, deciding to deactivate access to this account just because the address appeared in the actual malware doesn't even require that they look at the emails in the account. They can just disable access to it, they don't even have to delete any of the emails or reject new emails in order to do that, they can just turn off the ability to check emails on the account.
But, let's face it. The fourth amendment has been eating shit for the past 16 years, with no end in sight. Disabling an email account that is used in an extortion campaign is the least of our worries at this point, not even mentioning the fact that the US Constitution has nothing to do with this story.
You're thinking that Germany passed a law saying that email providers are required to always provide users with free access to their account, even if that email account is used as part of a crime? For example, trading child pornography, trading copyrighted content, facilitating money laundering or extortion, etc? Why would any country pass a law like that? I can't think of a single country which WOULD have a law like that.
But, don't let simple rational logic stop you from contacting the real "News Media" and asking them to investigate Germany over this. The world still needs humor.
Did you miss the part where I did this on a OnePlus One, which is not running Android 4? There were several options to choose from in the USB connection menu, I picked the one about just copying files. There was something else for media that I ignored, maybe that's what you're referring to.
1. Plug the USB cable into the phone and computer. 2. Pull down on the notification menu thing for the phone, click to change from "Charging" to one of the other options you want. 3. Open the phone/folder on your computer and copy files.
How about you click on the article and pay attention to the slideshows of benchmarks? You could also take note that the 4 cores running 2.45Ghz don't do all of the work, the 4 lighter cores do a lot also.
Totally. That's why OnePlus went out of business in 2014 and definitely hasn't launched 6 phones. That $300 million in revenue in 2014, when they only had a single phone out, is fake news.
Also, 640kb should be enough for everybody, and the iPod will never beat the Nomad.

Probably a stupid question, but did you have to copy all of the data back to the phone after installing?
Did you miss the part where I did this on a OnePlus One, which is not running Android 4? There were several options to choose from in the USB connection menu, I picked the one about just copying files. There was something else for media that I ignored, maybe that's what you're referring to.
How's that clumsy?
1. Plug the USB cable into the phone and computer.
