You are precisely correct. What you say was part of their scam. I sense their's was a technique tailored to females alone in apartments who would be intimidated, then he'd disappear. He did not anticipate there'd be a sharp bone in his fish that day. I'm a 5'10'' rugby and ice hockey player with a black belt in Kempo. And I always keep a knife down the base of my back when a service man is in my flat. I wasn't intimidated. Then I had one of our doormen (porter) escort him out of the building since, as you say, I was concerned he'd slip away and try it again on one of our neighbors. The doorman then notified the other building doormen on my section of Park Ave (Manhattan). Personally, I'm thrilled to go bare-knuckled w/scam artist and trolls. I advocate others to kick some butt too!
This is a strong arm tactic commonly used by criminals. It is done by the mafia, it is done by prison gangs. Of course it is not without precedent in the economy. For example, in the music/entertainment world aggressive lawyers have long beaten down artists. All those nice office buildings around the West Hollywood and Beverly Hills area are full of lawyers. Another example, I once had a rug cleaning guy, who was really a lawyer, come into my apartment to clean a rug. After I signed his work order and he immediately started to threaten to take me to court unless I paid $400 (which was 1000% the cost of the cleaning). Being an athletic lady I snatched the work order out of his hands, shredded it, and flushed it down the toilet. I then threatened to scream "rape". Anyways, the point is it is not good enough to just have computer skills to become an internet entrepreneur, you need some well rounded skills such a law. In Babson College's entrepreneurial program they require students take a law courses since they know starting a business is full of legal landmines and shakedowns. Also be ready to kick a bully in the gonads.
Why is the 3D gun such a big deal? Granted it is a milestone in 3D printing that a gun can be made. But really what else? Why is this anymore of a terrorist threat than a zip gun? Zip guns are often made in prisons by convicts and, in previous generations, by ghetto kids. All one needs is a strong tube, an improvised firing pin and an actuator (such as a rubber band) to drive the pin into the percussion cap.
Ah yes, hyperbole to an unrelated topic as a debate tool of the simple minded. Obviously you've got it wrong, I was thinking more of Ghandi and ahimsa in civil disobedience. Of course you likely think of a Ghandi as a Nazi too since he'd also oppose your imbecilic views.
If you're going to do that then why not go to a children's burn hospital and start pulling fire alarms. Or start making bomb scares at amputee clinics. Please let's not dress up this professor's idea as "civil disobedience". Civil disobedience would be sit-ins at the NSA or CIA headquarters. What this professor is instead suggesting is a destructive act which could endanger peoples lives by sending out false alarms and distracting law enforcement.
Europa is an excellent place as is Saturn's Titan. Both should be explored. Why? Because it is a freaking awesome thing to do! Whether it is skating on an icy surface or sailing on sailing on a sea of methane, both are fantastic challenges. Too bad decades of space exploration cost cutting have reduced the amount of exploration awesomeness.
You're not responding to the question (or just answering some other question you think you have the answer too). Please answer the question on kiddie porn if you have such strong convictions.
No reason to monitor U238 since it is not practical for the average person to get into a bomb making form. It would take so much electricity to enrich/centrifuge that you're electrical grid profile would alert authorities for other reasons (who might think you're growing reefer indoors).
So you feel that applies to say child pornography. So you feel you can read, including pictures, of young boys. Write what you want about methods of abducting them and do whatever you feel or "WITHOUT FEAR OF RETRIBUTION"??? You're making an absolute statement so please defend it in all circumstances.
Good point. Diesel/nitrate bombs are used in rural areas and mines. Instead of ammonium nitrate bombs how about a search for "do-it-yourself fuel air bomb"?
True. Certainly intellectual curiosity is hindered as well, as you mention, concerned citizens who merely wish to inform themselves on the threat. So the education here is how/where a person searches such devices. For example the person might have searched for "pressure cooker" which would have shown something like the bomb. The paradox is that, aside from self-educating concerned citizens, no one other than an engineer should be searching for such a thing (since only a engineer would only be able to build it) yet any engineer worth his/her salt should already have figured out how to build one or something equivalent without going to a website. For example, how long would it take a real engineer to figure out on his/her own how to build a fuel air bomb? Probably just a few hours.
Certainly be careful about search strings which have no other determinable purpose than terrorism. A search for "chainsaw" could imply running a muck thru a bus station but might also relate to tree clearance. "Shot gun" might mean references to hunting or skeet shooting. But what would someone use a pressure cooker bomb or a ammonium nitrate bomb for other than blowing up people. Its not like one would run around the woods with a pressure cooker bomb to hunt deer or a car bomb as a party favorite.
Perl is a perfect example of a programming language perfected but in many instances replaced by Python/Ruby. Sure its object model is a bit obscure and only a fool develops without "strict", but otherwise it is the best scripting language for anyone working with large data sets and task automation. Of course one cannot prevent the choices of imbeciles anymore than one can influence a musical choice of The Black Eyed Peas verses Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
It is cramped, expensive and it's range stinks. If you pay just a third more you can get the more powereful Telsa which is as luxurious and spacious as a BMW 535 yet has almost three times the range of the i3.
No. You're completely wrong. You miss precisely what "multicultural" means. In a multicultural environment some people maybe bossy/arrogant and one must get along, somehow.
I work at a major bank where they constantly have a choice between a high quality, albeit highly paid, US workers and low cost, low quality H1B workers. They always go H1B. And it becomes a real Indian ghetto at a lot of IT shops. Having multicultural abilities is part of being "best and brightest" yet many of the Indians are only comfortable working with other Indians. So the incumbent Indian employees end up only hiring Indian H1Bs, which is obviously a negative for the whole organization in the long run. But who every cares about the long run anyways.
How exactly would some future civilization read a laser encoded crystal?? I've got enough problems trying to watch my dad's old super-8 movies recordings (and I've got the projector). Will a future civilization of geckos or crows really understand the concept of an inode or the Reiser FS let alone trying to physically read the device? The best legacy is huge stone monuments or pictures carved in granite (marble is too soft) as in ancient Egypt.
You're right. I'm getting nostalgic for actual engineering and fore thought in product design. Better is Agile approach to cater to the social app whims of teenage girls.

I'm hetero. Playing rugby is a great way for a gal to meet guys.

Not train engineer, although the old steam pressured train engines were rolling bombs.
Err, how exactly did you arrive at Kayne West or Lindsey Lohan based on what I wrote???

I don't think the absolute next step after researching how to make bombs is thought patrol. That seem a bit extreme.

I'd use them as target practice for my photon gun.
