Well, it seems that the FBI has been onto this guy for 9 months, and had their informant interact with him multiple times, presumably with a wire, so if I had to guess, I'd say that at some point he said something along the lines of "I'm doing this to support Al Qaeda".
It is called 'terrorism' and not 'demolition' for a reason, and I think that some fair sized bomb going off at about the same time at the capital and pentagon would cause a fair bit of terror.
Besides, I don't think you appreciate how big of a boom a couple pounds of C4 cause. The 'high' in 'high explosive' isn't a marketing term.
Not many people die of AIDS these days, not in the developed world. The meds have gotten so good that its quite possible to suppress the virus to the point that the virus is undetectable, the person isn't infectious, and the person has normal white blood cell counts. You can stay that way for decades now, and it isn't uncommon for people to contract HIV and die of something unrelated years later.
Not to say that I'll be lining up to have unprotected sex with someone with HIV, but we aren't in the 1980's anymore.
>>enterprise ready
Which really means that you will need the skill of an enterprise linux admin to be ready to set it up.
You'll spend all weekend trying to set it up, maybe get it up and running and do a first backup. Then as you are still banging your head against the wall trying to get all the features to work, you'll realize its just easier to use ssh, rsync, and a cron job.
Yeah, but only a few percent of civil cases make it all the way through a jury trial. I'd say >95% are settled out of court. In cases were they do progress all the way through, the winner is usually awarded legal fees. So what you propose already exists. And sure you may recover your costs, but in the months or years leading up to the possible victory, you still have to pay your lawyer out of pocket.
What do you propose? That the government pay for lawyers in everyone's trip and fall law suits? Clearly making it easier to get good lawyers will put end to all the frivolous law suits.
I don't see it that way. There is no argument that Google is web company, and people can only experience the web through the browser, which means that the features that the "average" browser supports is a limiting factor in what Google can do.
I've always seen Chrome as a way for Google to stimulate other browsers to be better and drive innovation. Every since Chrome came onto the scene, showing off its fast rendering and javascript engine, other browser companies have had to step up their game, which is good not only for Google, but the internet as a whole.
Will other browsers support it? Maybe? If it turns out to useful, and programmers like it, I bet you can expect to see this in Firefox fairly soon. If not, it was an interesting experiment.
I don't think you appreciate how minute the amount of energy you can recover from radio waves is. I doubt you could recover enough energy to cover the power used by devices when "off".
The grand majority of users are morons who probably don't even know about adblock. Firefox wouldn't include it for political reasons, and google and microsoft probably couldn't for anti-trust reasons. Not going to happen.
Data is how these companies make money. No one wants to buy ads if the ad company can't tell their clients how many views and unique views the ads are getting. Data is their lifeblood and they aren't going to stop because we asked nicely.
They were awarded the patent. Sure there may be prior artwork which would void that patent, but do you have legal resources to fight Apple's lawyers long enough to actually point that out to a judge?
So we've only been waiting for this for over a decade, lets just hope it doesn't go the way of a bunch of the other "universal" standards that never get adopted.
Also what kind of power bricks are we going to have if they have to handle 240w? I don't really want to carry around a 2lbs brink for my laptop that peaks at 20w of power usage.
Airplanes have to ability to glide to an extent, helicopters can auto-rotate. I seriously doubt that the rotors on this are big enough to auto-rotate, or that the designer made the calculations necessarily in order to design something that can auto-rotate.
You could use a parachute but parachutes take time to deploy and slow your decent so while effective at higher altitudes, at lower altitudes, like say the altitude at which you would be herding cattle, an engine failure would leave you heading towards the ground without enough time to deploy the chute.
I'd fly this is there were 2 engines such that one engine could power both fans, and 1 engine had enough power to at least hover and make a safe decent. Even then, I'd still probably bring a parachute.
To a layman like me, it is amazing that without the benefit of all the data that has been recovered from the flight data recorders, experts were able to get so close to the mark.
If you recall, we did have the diagnostic messages that they airplane was sending back home, which, if I recall correctly, helped identify the cause the problem. The idea of the tubes freezing up was not a shot in the dark.
I like the days of yore better. Computers were simpler then. The software, the hardware, the protocols, all of it.
Back then it was possible to understand everything that was going on in your system, and there is something very beautiful about that. You could know how every command worked and how it did it, down the the binary data it was sending down the serial port if you wanted. Now, even though I know what seems like an encyclopedic amount of information about computers, there are large gaps in my knowledge where I either know nothing or I have only a general idea of whats going on.
Then again I can now play Angry Birds on Chrome so that kinda sooths the nostalgia.

Thats what root certs are, keys that you supposedly trust 100% which is why when they are cracked, its so bad. Ergo the model is broken.

Yeah, because I want someone to be able to steal my key file and have access to my files forever.
Really? Because the last time I checked, there are different trust flags set for different root certs that are included with browsers.
You are both trolls.

At least Chrome is cross platform and open source(ish). So its not quite the same thing.
I don't see it that way. There is no argument that Google is web company, and people can only experience the web through the browser, which means that the features that the "average" browser supports is a limiting factor in what Google can do.

On the up side, advertising companies have stopped sending me bras.
Data is how these companies make money. No one wants to buy ads if the ad company can't tell their clients how many views and unique views the ads are getting. Data is their lifeblood and they aren't going to stop because we asked nicely.
OK, you design something similar without using magnets.
They were awarded the patent. Sure there may be prior artwork which would void that patent, but do you have legal resources to fight Apple's lawyers long enough to actually point that out to a judge?
So we've only been waiting for this for over a decade, lets just hope it doesn't go the way of a bunch of the other "universal" standards that never get adopted.
Also what kind of power bricks are we going to have if they have to handle 240w? I don't really want to carry around a 2lbs brink for my laptop that peaks at 20w of power usage.
So how exactly do they define fraud? Is it fraud it I make someone else's name show up to protect my privacy? Is a prank harmful to the other party?
To compound this problem, I don't seen any way to direct airflow sideways in the design.
Airplanes have to ability to glide to an extent, helicopters can auto-rotate. I seriously doubt that the rotors on this are big enough to auto-rotate, or that the designer made the calculations necessarily in order to design something that can auto-rotate.
