1. There is no such thing as a "sub-launched ICBM". Subs carry SLBMs and SLCMs. 2. Any kind of BM would follow a completely different trajectory than the one described. 3. The "B" in ICBM/SLBM means "ballistic". That means that after the initial burn, it is guided by inertia, and would have no ability to track a moving target.
Damn pesky facts.
Here's something I don't know the answer to: Do air-to-airs or ground-to-airs have any sort of range safety feature like rockets, or do they just automatically blow up at the end of their runs? Or both? Or neither (in which case why did it blow up?)?
Much as I'm disliking the Hitlerian Russian government now, I can't believe a) anyone wouldn't have reported it (the pilot) or b) not talked about it loudly for 25+ years.
and this is what happens. Survival 101: you do not violate my personal space. EVER.
What's your "personal space" in this context? Having a button to recline your seat conveys permission to use said button. That said, one uses it judiciously and slowly...and you have the right to do the same. It's when idiots use something like Knee Defender that the system falls apart.
But amid all the despair and hopelessness, people were working indefatigably to stabilise the nation and alleviate the prevalent tumult; and on 28 August 2298, the sedulousness of these committed inidividual was recompensed.
Zow. This guy was supposed to be a "language-arts" teacher. I think we can clear the Sherifs department of any charges of overreacting, Patrick McLaw is obviously a danger to himself and society.
He wasn't arrested for writing about shooting the neighbors' dinosaur. He was questioned about it, and then he escalated things from there. The story even says this.
Evidently, your reading comprehension is a bit off. From the article: The cops took Stone in for questioning and searched his locker and backpack for guns. None were found. Police told My Fox Chicago that Stone was difficult during questioning and they arrested him and charged him with disturbing the school.
How, praytell, did he "disturb the school" while he was "difficult during questioning" AFTER they "took Stone in for questioning" which, by common American syntax, means at the police station?
It's one thing to say "no guns in school". It's quite another to ban any mention of them. This isn't China.
Why the China bashing? It is not illegal to write a story about guns in China, and I have never heard of this sort of political knee jerk reaction there. An American is FOUR TIMES as likely to be arrested and imprisoned by their government as a Chinese citizen.
Hey, did you see the Dalai Lama in Tiananmen Square? He was talking about all of the corruption in upper reaches of the Chinese government with some Maoists while he was on his way to the Falun Gong Meeting.
we could stand to learn a lot from independent more decentralized cultures from all over the world if they were studied as such, but they are put down as primitive and backwards in history class, while the great white empire of the east india trading company and royal academy of sciences is touted as the greatest achievements of mankind
Yes. I was having this argument with a self-described progressive, who, when faced with me saying, "maybe we don't need to be militarily great, and can learn to live humbly, and trade freely with people without having a huge *@#(ing military" responded with, "But every great nation has to be made that way by having a strong central military" or some such rubbish. It boggled me that someone who nominally claims interest in peace equated greatness with military might. It's downright disturbing.
You're right. That IS disturbing--that he even bothered to rebut you. I'd have just laughed in your face at your display of abject naiveté. There's a phrase that summarizes what you're describing: "Conquered Nation."
Anything you learn during the course of your duties should never be discussed. What you learn around the coffee machine should be not talked about either lest people jump to the wrong conclusion.
Can anyone recommend a SOHO-level router that properly supports IPv6? Right now I've got my desktop on a Teredo (okay, stop laughing) tunnel set up to a server I have colo'd which in turn has a real/64. It works pretty well, but it was a pain to set up and counts against my colo bandwidth, and of course adds a bit of latency. Router support for IPv6 may be moot since I don't even know for sure that AT&T has IPv6 rolled out here anyway.
My Cisco RV-320 supports IPv6 just fine on Comcast's network.
So if you're sharing your wi-fi with the public at large and someone commits an "Internet Nasty" while connected via your router - who is criminally liable?
No kidding. I don't see the EFF offering to indemnify any users.
The only secure Android phone is what is running Cyanogenmod.
Only if you personally are capable of security auditing every single line of source code. Otherwise, you'll be trusting someone or something...as virtually everyone else is doing.
So a FREE app (#1) for a small subset of people will soon be replaced by another FREE app (#2) for a small subset of people and the author thinks that #2 will have less features than #`1 but of course it will only affect a small subset of people./p>

Probably a US sub-launched ICBM.

I'm sure China has stolen iOS's source code just like they've stolen every other Western (no longer) secret.
Since when does Bitcoin have any credibility to be undermined?
Block all cell signals so the looters can't send their movies anywhere. That's illegal, you say? And looting and pillaging isn't?
Snark that misses the point.
He wasn't talking about companies that buy ads, he's talking about companies the sell ads c.f. "ad whore."
Yeah, he's talking about successful companies. While correlation isn't causation, I have to admit he has a point.
+1 for the snark.
...Bitcoins are like money in real banks and are insured. No harm to the victim.
Oh wait....
How is adding the girls jumping the shark?
This is actually one of the very few times where a show semi-radically changed, and the result is better.
Agreed. Keeping the same initial 5 cast members would have descended into tedium by now...if it was still on the air.
