Here's my simpler version. With it's princess industry, Disney already owned the market for girls from birth to... well, death. They had no hooks for boys though. So they bought Marvel and Star Wars.
Ahhh well, just another phase in the evolution of NASA from a can do engineering organization, to a can't do political pork barrel.
What the hell are you talking about? Nobody used that phrase but you. Watch the video. He gives a reasonable answer, and then they try to steer the questioning to other topics so it doesn't get bogged down.
It's a news conference and they likely weren't prepared to field security questions. That doesn't mean the security is lacking. It just isn't what they were there to talk about.
Your history, logic, and math are way off. There were two and a half years of war that happened between Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima. There were so many other factors, so many other millions of military and civilians that died before Pearl Harbor and after, that the way you're trying to directly and exclusively link them, and then apply some strange moral equivalence, absurd. Let me help with the bigger picture: Nanking Massacre Manila Massacre And, lest you think I'm ignoring troubling aspects of the US prosecution of the war, keep in mind that they killed more civilians and destroyed more civilian infrastructure with conventional
firebombing than were killed in either (maybe both) atomic bombings.
Seriously, just read a history book or something. The response to Pearl Harbor was entering a war. The decision to drop the atomic bombs, right or wrong, was made from within the context of that already long and bloody war. Hell, it may have been just as much about the USSR as about Japan. That should be even more troubling than your preposterous reasoning.
TFA isn't much better. A bunch of "crazy iphone prototypes" that just look like phones, and details on a secretive development and exhaustive design process. Yawn.

Read the grandparent. It was talking about terrorism being a disproportionate response to the US bombing civilians.
The responses to 9/11 and Pearl Harbour were both disproportionate.
Following the US example, its entirely logical for the people getting bombed to want to become terrorists and bomb back.
The response to the bombing of Pearl Harbor was disproportionate? The Japanese attacked a large US military base and the US declared war in response. That is the definition of a proportionate response. Act of war: declaration of war. Or were you trying to infer some other response, one far removed from Pearl Harbor?
Stop selectively breeding them. Look at bulldogs. They've basically been bred to have the most pronounced defects possible, and suffer comparatively short lives as a consequence.
In a typical year, just over 300 people are killed by those things in the US.
Huh? That number seems low. As of October 1, according to the Washington Post, there were 294 mass shootings so far in 2015, and that was still with three months left in the year. That accounted for 380 deaths so far, with well over 1,000 injured.

I thought you were going to say, "I had a 4-digit ID, but I went through a very nasty divorce about 15 years ago, and my spouse received it in the settlement."
The editorial makes it sound like there is false advertising saying the RPZ is only $5. All of the models already require:
HDMI Cable
Keyboard
Mouse (if you're in the GUI)
WiFi adapter OR LAN Cable
Power Supply
USB Hub for A/A+/Zero if you need more than one peripheral or interface
Audio adapter if you want audio on non-Zero models.
The only additional equipment required for the Zero is a USB OTG adapter, versus the A+. You'll also need to solder on a header if you're using GPIO, but I doubt most students are going to do that. Audio can be soldered in as well, but anyone can tell you the onboard Audio is crap, you're better off with HDMI or a separate adapter.
Really, this was a misguided editorial. There is hardly anything different with how they're pricing and marketing the Zero versus their other models.
Larry Niven's book World Out of Time has a "hyperloop" system in it. And I can't help but think other SF writers may have come up with something similar before that.
The notion that Musk came up with this 'idea' is ludicrous.
Musical analogy: Musk did not compose the vactrain, he merely arranged it under the name "hyperloop."

AOL had unsend. It had unsend because everything was under their control. As far as I can tell it's the only way to do unsend
Correction: There is no way to unsend if the recipient already read it.
