Generally green. But that won't help the problem, because the biggest issue is the blinding flashes in the wind shield during landing. Glasses won't help you there.
At this point, the episodes of blindness can be controlled though the fact that commercial airliners have a pilot and co-pilot. If one is blinded, the other takes controls. Civil aviation has an extreme hard on for avoiding single points of failure, to the point of forbidding pilots from eating the same item from in-flight menu as to avoid potential of food poisoning taking both pilots out of commission. Then there's the autopilot system on top of it. So no crashes that we know of at this point in time, just some close calls.
The same hard on for safety however dictates that something should be done about the problem. And as someone who would like to keep his eyes healthy for as long as possible, I happen to agree, as those laser pointers are equally present in drunken parties.
The article is about removing natural selection from the books. We can observe natural selection happening in a matter of days with some bacteria in a petri dish - it's an extremely well established scientific theory. We know it happens.
When the other idea is based on "I have an imaginary friend who told me he wrote a book that said so", I dare say that teaching that as science is about the same as teaching cthulhu mythos as science.
You have presented an unlikely argument, and backed it by linking to organisation with known penchant for outright lying and falsification of facts to the point of going to the court of law to uphold it's right to lie and falsificate facts.
The fact that you chose to pick your source from this organisation serves as a detriment to your argument, not a benefit as you seem to have implied.
I suggest finding a source with much better obfuscated agenda and that is better at lying.
Which was my point. Most people who fall under the definition would in fact do the very thing you seem to claim they wouldn't. If given a task of using all means to discredit the single person, examining his entire life, including that of his close family looking for potential dirt is what "responsible adult" would do.
Which is going to be a great explanation to talk about on TV talk shows. Alongside of why ISPs cut off innocent people who are victims of a crime off the internet as an additional punishment, and what should be done about those evil ISPs.
All the while the person dumb enough to actually make that career ending call enjoys his new career at local fast food restaurant.
The beauty of the first D in the DDOS is that it's in fact DISTRIBUTED denial of service. It's not coming out of single grandma, or even hundred grandmas.
You may be forced to switch tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people off. Can you imagine the massive PR fallout? Mass media would LOVE the story.
No one is going to go for that kind of PR disaster.
Would you mind defining "responsible adult"? Because it seems that in the modern world, the most celebrated adults are the ones that are least "responsible" in the actual meaning of the world - taking responsibility for their actions.
Instead nowadays we celebrate those who successfully push the responsibility on others while taking benefits to themselves.
That's not the issue. Apple just like everyone else tends to make warranty repairs and replacement easy because it's efficient for them to do so.
The problem is that at least in EU, apple thinks itself above the law, and as a result often tries very hard to get out of meeting its warranty obligations.
Examples include trying to get out of servicing older iphones back in iphone 3 days because "water sensors were tripped" by condensation after taking it from the cold outside to the room temperature. Their warranty actually had the balls to have the clause "warranty void if you take the device to area with below freezing temperature" in Nordics. They got sued for it and had to change it.
Then there's the whole "we won't provide legally mandated warranty because we want to sell additional warranty package and we'll advertise that our warranty is only half of the legal limit to expedite sales". They got sued for that as well and also lost.
So yeah, if you get any modern large PC/phone company to actually honour the warranty, it's going to be nice and simple. It's going to be much harder if they try to deny the claim however, and apple is notorious for trying to deny warranty claims on illegal grounds in EU.
P.S. hilarious modding on my previous post. Stating factual truth is trolling nowadays if the facts happen to be negative for apple.
Oh, (s)he's working with adult supervision as we speak and was working with one when writing that memo. World of adults is full of vindictive, utterly unethical assholes.
I just didn't grow up a "US nerd", but a "Nordic nerd" (no lunch money needed - school lunches are free for all students up until university level) and I was also a guy who never scored less than 9 (4-10 scoring system) in PE. So I didn't have any of the problems most of you US nerds seem to have grown with, and I also seem to lack most of the insecurities which have their roots in that. I do get what you are saying though, and I still disagree. I think most people have strong destructive impulses, and internet anonymity unleashed them and not in a good way. Impulses that are normally controlled though peer pressure - most of the nasty stuff GP is posting about would very rarely happen in face to face communication because of the peer pressure element.
As a result, his argument is currently the best argument against internet anonymity, and it certainly has its merits. The question obviously is if the pros of lacking anonymity on the internet would be less valuable than pros of having ability to communicate anonymously over the internet.
I don't think you quite understand. A lot of very trustworthy people will attempt a fraud if they think they can get away with it and they think they're "sticking it to the man".
As a result, and I do mean no offence to you or your friend, the chances of you being gullible or simply too trusting is far, FAR greater than chance of his phone's screen "randomly popping while he was using twitter".
Of course, they will fuck you on warranty to the point where EU had to tell them to stop. But hey, it's apple, so even them fucking entire nations on warranty is a great feature!
Strange how I live in a country where private schools are all but unheard of, and quality of our public schools is far greater than that of private schools across the US.
How soon should we expect them to become shit, existing only for the benefit of the government and teachers? They're only gone the way they are for about 40 years as far as I know, and they've been fairly steadily improving over at least thirty of those.
And those outside your country, including chinese, figured out that you're a single party oligarchy. Chinese even copied it, minus they knew their people aren't gullible enough to swallow the bullshit, but pliable enough not to have to feed them the bullshit in the first place.
Because clearly this is an issue of free speech. Arguing against people spamming topics with item completely unrelated is stifling free speech.
And somewhere, people are hooking up generators to bodies of people who actually fought for free speech, to make money on electricity they will generate after that claim.
That was indeed the double meaning. Thank you for spelling it out for everyone.
Fact is though, the beta protest movement has its place. And its not in the other discussions. Even a good cause can lose a lot of support if most ardent supporters start to trash everything, rather than focusing their protests on the issue.
It's quite simple really when you distance yourself from the whole thing, like those of us not in that country can do.
Step one: buy out all mass media. Advertise that government is bad and capitalism is good. Step two: use aforementioned propaganda as a tool to get tax breaks. Step three: use part of the funds gathered through tax breaks to show the masses that are getting poorer how good corporations are, reinforcing point one. Step four: repeat step two. Step five: repeat step three.
Every even step after one: profits increase. Every odd step after one: chance of revolt against corporate agenda decreases and push for step mentioned above increases from public direction towards the government.
It's a brilliant construct, built to self-accelerate profit generation and increase fund transfer from public to private interests.

The problem is that these are green lasers (very powerful) that cause severe blinding of the pilots in terminal landing phase.
Wikipedia page on the topic is fairly informative:

I agree. Specifically we should have a detailed dissemination of the grandest reading of them all: Cthulhu Mythos.
It should be taught to kids as soon as they learn to read.
The article is about removing natural selection from the books. We can observe natural selection happening in a matter of days with some bacteria in a petri dish - it's an extremely well established scientific theory. We know it happens.
In fact, here's a nice picture:

You appear to confuse societally threatening condition with an attack on a single internet site.
Next: single man farting should be treated like a fusion bomb explosion.

Pretty much all modern CPUs, GPU cards, memory sticks, hard drives and so on fall into this category. I suggest you think again about your criteria.
Of course, they will fuck you on warranty to the point where EU had to tell them to stop. But hey, it's apple, so even them fucking entire nations on warranty is a great feature!
In pre-internet society, those things were curtailed very efficiently by peer pressure.
Your case is actually one that is being argued against internet anonymity.

Aka corruption. Public corruption that is actually viewed as a positive thing.
It shows how far people have fallen.
