It's interesting that this engine is more powerful than the original Nissan Deltawing engine that ran at Le nMans in 2012. The ZEOD is probably lightweight like the Deltawing so it should be pretty impressive.
Well, that is, if it gets to run. There's a chance is may not be able to because Nissan is being sued by Deltawing. The chassis designer Ben Bowlby originally created the Deltawing but went to Nissan after his work on the Deltawing was complete. The Deltawing company claims ownership of the intellectual property that the claim is being infringed by the ZEOD. The case is likely to go to court before the 24 Hours of Le Mans, unless they settle.
Hollywood certainly has had no problem making the US Military look like boobs in any number of films. I think it's only the movies where they need to use fighter jets, or tanks and the like, that they need to play nice.
Mod this up. I know one large pharmaceutical company that requires dual logins (i.e. two sysadmins) to do anything out of the ordinary - and everything is logged. Why the f-ing NSA can't do this is beyond me.
Thanks Linus, but I think it's an established rule that you can't go releasing new versions of software until the ridicule surrounding your last release has died down. How else are we going to get stories for/.? Microsoft plays along. Why can't you?
I can't comment on the capability of their optical sensors, but regarding the windows, how well do you see details when they're 8 football fields away?
I don't even know what you're talking about. Not only did I not mention anything being 'Top Secret', I didn't even characterize what he leaked. You must've been waiting to make that Top Secret point, but pulled the trigger in the wrong place.
Try to post a screen gab that shows children in the helicopter footage. You won't be able to because the children were inside a van. Therefore, you clearly are remembering things that are not there.
"Even the comedian Stephen Colbert, in an interview with Assange, dropped his rightwing-blowhard persona momentarily to make a serious point, calling the edited version 'emotional manipulation'".
Yes, and a situation like this is specifically anticipated. There exists the concept of an 'unlawful order'. If an officer orders a soldier to carry out an unlawful order (e.g. "kill this child"), not only can the soldier refuse to carry out the order, but he is duty bound not to carry it out.
Now, here's the thing. If the soldier refuses to carry out the order, the officer can have him court martialed. But he will argue that it was an unlawful order and *should* get off. Of course, all the inherent limitations of a trial process apply and the result is never certain. But it's the best way we have.
Now, Manning could argue that he was implicitly ordered to keep this airstrike video secret. But he'd have to prove that there was something unlawful there. It also doesn't explain all of the other stuff he leaked. Clearly, he didn't have a reason for every single document.
Did Manning's defense make that argument? I don't know. But if they did, it failed. But his defense team did describe him as naive. So it seems like they (having already plead guilty to 10 counts of wrongdoing) were going for the leniency angle.
Actually, I think he left a message at two newspapers and then got impatient and sent it to Wikileaks. It doesn't appear that he had the attention span to properly figure out how leak the info. Or to look through it all to decide what to leak. Or to thoughtfully consider the context of the airstrike video.
I hope this isn't a general symptom of our younger people. Too many jump to bizarre conclusions such as the USA is as democratic as the DDR. But with Snowden applying for asylum in Russia, it does seem that this generation has no appreciation of the differences and are lacking the attention spans to truly think matters through.
Snowden could be extradited and then tried and sentenced to death. Not that he will be. In fact, Sec. Kerry has specifically said he wouldn't be. But extradition has nothing to do with one's ultimate fate. Well, other than the fact that not being extradited may block any such fate.
America, FUCK YEAH! Coming again, to save the mother fucking day yeah, America, FUCK YEAH! Freedom is the only way yeah, Terrorist your game is through cause now you have to answer too, America, FUCK YEAH! So lick my butt, and suck on my balls, America, FUCK YEAH! What you going to do when we come for you now, it’s the dream that we all share; it’s the hope for tomorrow
So include ethics and sociology classes into the degree curriculum. If Computer Science faculty start to take over everything that involves a computer, there will be nothing Computer Science doesn't cover.

NASA is still going strong. We just sold one of the A's.
I think future history books would benefit from a Great Lunar War.

I think this is the first time I've noticed a post moderated -1, Insightful.
It's a 42 megapixel nude Assange selfie. Please, in the name of all that is blessed and holy, DO NOT LET THE KEY BE RELEASED! It can only bring tears.
Instant Runoff Elections solve this dilemma.
They should enlist the aid of the National Security Agency. Nobody can steal data from that place.

Did I say anything about an official methodology? Um, no. It appears that you're seeing things that are not there.
Leaking happens all the time without people getting caught. Journalists have often gone to jail to protect their sources.
To explain is not to excuse. Don't read more into people's comments than is there.

Indeed.
And Manning specifically requested a single judge rather than a panel.
In this case there is no constitutional issue, so it doesn't matter.

You're teaching an introductory class on computer science. Not sociology. Teach them computer science.
Indeed. In fact, one might say it has been the norm throughout recorded times. No matter what civilization you're talking about.
But it does change the context within which we understand it.
