Because in the fallout of the Snowden leaks, the US people need constant reminders that they are under threat from terrorism at any time and that what the NSA does is acceptable as a result.
There are pictures of the passengers evacuating, including, inevitably, one of the passengers who just evacuated taking pictures of the plane.
Too early to discuss causes. Reports indicate the plane landed short in an nose-up attitude, but it's too early to say why.
The cause is right there. There's no way someone could have turned on their phone that quick to have taken the picture, unless the phone was already on during landing! We need to find the owner of that camera-phone and arrest them for reckless endangerment. This, folks, is exactly why you turn off all electronic devices during take-off and landing, the plane's tail may fall off and it'll spin around on the landing strip.
There's 2 sides to information security. One is keeping corporate secrets (typically applies to R&D) and the other is hiding something bad you are doing. My knowledge extends to Pharma, and you hear all the time about companies that willingly broke the rules and tried to hide it. But you also hear about things like corporate espionage.
How do you protect a company from threats where a disgruntled worker tries to steal tech to sell it to a rival, but at the same time, you don't want companies to be able to hide illegal activities.
We WANT the likes of Snowden to be able to blow the whistle on bad practices, but you don't want truly sensitive information to be leaked to an enemy.
As so many people have pointed out, stopping doing illegal/immoral things will prevent one, but if you tighten up security so much against enemies, companies/governments will feel they can effectively hide the bad with the good.
I had no intention of going to the US in the first place. I won't go there as long as the fingerprinting, cancer machines and other general invasions of privacy are cut out. It's a shame, as I'd love to do a coast to coast road trip in a lovely rented Cadillac.
(don't get me started on the amount of information my Polish wife has to provide the US embassy just to get a visa)
How can any employer think that workers w/o health insurance work better than those who do? Most governments have figured out that the tax from cigarettes does not outweigh the cost to the economy of a sick worker, hence they are trying to get as many people to quit as possible. Health insurance is the same, the cost to keep workers healthy is worth it to have better workers. It also encourages the worker to stay with the company. The number of times I've heard of people moving job because where they were going had health insurance has to be some indication of it's worth to the employer.
Tomb Raider, Civ V, Castle crashers all play fine. Mechwarrior Online, WoW, Borderlands 2, Neverwinter (F2Pmmo) all seem to crash at random ("Program has stopped working").
A small sample of working and non working games, but there seems to be nothing tying them together. Had to downgrade to 7 to get all my games playing reliably.
14.000 children. That's a very accurate number. Though, I'd be quite shocked if decimals of children became involved. Although, with radiation, you can't rule that out I suppose.
A good book in its own right, it has a great scene where the protagonist is given real meat to eat instead of the vat grown he's eaten all his life. He's quite horrified at the thought of having eaten "dead meat". A small but interesting part of the story.
Interesting, What kind of third world country do you live in that has a Data Cap? Don't you have companies (Here (Ireland) we have Three (that's the company name)) that offer unlimited data?

Quit it Cthulhu and go back to sleep.
Or a system similar to Swype, but where the more commonly (mis)used letters are bigger than the less used ones, making it easier to hit them.
THARRR she blows!
Never mind that, what about dropping your 'friend' into the grinder repeatedly in Portal 2?

Unless there are some sick, sick bacteria that are in to that sort of thing.
And now think about just how many of them there are. Their immune system is likely off the charts.
We should call it the TARDoS

Very tough call indeed.

It's time ... *puts on glasses*... to bury the hatchet.

There are species of animals that do have multiple pumps. (Google it. ;-)
Time Lords, right?

Fuck me, that explains all those calls!
Why would he want to return to the US?
Of course, making this submission to /. has added the submitter to the watch list.
I think it's an issue of perspective.

Yes, but AFTER those, it could be a Slashdot Poll.
Assemble them from pieces, surely?
