One of the best-known incidents building up to the was was the forcible entry of a ship and deliberate destruction of property. If someone tried that today in America as a means of protest, they'd probably be tried as a terrorist.
That's because software is long, long obsolete before the term would expire. The US term for a work-for-hire is 95 years - there wasn't even a concept of software that long ago.
Territorial ownership in the absence of government goes to whoever can hire the most effective guard to maintain control of their territory. When someone else comes along with a bigger or better-equipped army, the territory changes 'ownership.'
He's doing the sensible thing for a politician: Making comments that seem to go both ways, and trying to phrase it so that both sides will conclude he agrees with them.
Rand Paul reminds me of an argument I once had with someone years ago - I can't even remember where it was now. We were discussing car safety, and a recent study that showed that SUVs were the safest car to be inside in an accident (Excluding rollovers), but the least-safe car to be outside of. Their sturdyness and sheer mass squished anything they hit at high speed into a mangled pancake of flesh and steel, and they had a particular tendency to decapitate pedestrians as their blunt front tended to force people under the car rather than off to the sides. The person I was arguing with said he already knew this, and drove an SUV for precisely that reason - beause it was his duty to protect himself and his family from harm, not everyone else. If he could make his family safer while increasing the risk of death for everyone else in society, then he felt doing so was not only acceptable, for morally obligatory.
Viruses have a high mutation rate. If you can afford to hire an expert and sequencing facilities, you could compare your virus with a sample from the suspected source. It'd be expensive though.
They can, but schools pose a far greater risk - hundreds of children confined in a building for six hours or more, much of it spent sitting beside other children.
While there are some legitimate reasons for homeschooling, the homeschool movement in the US is composed mostly of religious nutters who are afraid public school will make their children realise a man cannot survive inside a fish's stomach for three days.
I think Thunderfoot put it well: In a sexually dimorphic species, inequality in outcome is to be expected. The important aim shouldn't be equality of outcome, but equality of opportunity. No-one should feel pressured to persue or not persue a field because it violates their traditional gender role.
When attacking an organisation, you can rely on luck. Send your dancing pigs to a hundred people. 99 will see it as a scam. One will open it - and that one is all you need to get in. Even if it's just one of the cleaning staff, it's an opening you can use to search for exploitable vulnerabilities.
It's not partisan. The democrats have been just as supportive of spying as the republicans - they most they have offered are some token privacy acts that wouldn't be remotely effective.
I should clarify that low oxygen percentage isn't the important part - it's low partial-pressure of oxygen. Reduced-oxygen at atmosphere, or atmospheric composition at reduced pressure, or even low-oxygen at high pressure (Diving on trimix) or high-oxygen at low-pressure (Spacesuits). It's all the same.
Not really an issue. Humans are fine in low-oxygen environments - so long as they don't go running around too much. Think how high mountaineers have to go before resorting to the tanks,
There are similar stories in IT about a mysterious inexplicable server outage occuring at the same time each day, after office hours, that continued even after reformatting it to eliminate any software issue. When an administrator tried staying after closing time to watch it, he found a cleaner unplugging the mysterious humming box to plug the floor buffer in.
It's an electrostatic bell, so around 1KV should be enough to run such a small one. I imagine the battery has, say, 500 discs at 2V each, all in series.
The amendments process is easily abuseable. In this case it's being abused by 'our side,' but it's still pushing the limits.
The usual trick is to sneak an amendment into a must-pass bill like an appropriations bill, or something overwhelmingly popular. Often it's a lot easier to get something added as an amendment than to get the same action to pass as an independant act.
You don't need mathematics for that, you need physical engineering. It's already a well-established field - games consoles, iPhones, etc. They take active measures to make sure you can't run anything the manufacturer doesn't want you to run. While it's possible to hack them by exploiting imperfections in their design, this is a task beyond the capabilities of most people - and it only gets harder as technology advances and all those handy little external busses disappear into an SoC where you can't even measure them without access to a cleanroom facility.
What you describe is a stream cypher. It doesn't offer the mathematically-unbreakable security of a true OTP, but it's still pretty secure when implemented right.
If you can solve the key distribution problem. While a OTP is certainly a useful device in some circumstances, it is only an option if the participants have previously been able to communicate over a secure channel with verified identities. It's not much use on the internet, though I have considered the possibility of it being used for corporate VPNs - with the size of hard drives now, a traveling employee could comfortably take a 1TB or more OTP with them on a business trip, more than enough to last for a couple of weeks.

Not for the free films.
Not for the free books.
No. This makes me want to pirate something out of pure spite. Call it a protest.

They are only terrorists until they win. Then they retroactively become freedom fighters.

We could try just giving everyone a constant, steady stream of pornography? Then the appeal of even more free porn would be lessened.

Costal flooding isn't really a concern. It's the increase in extreme weather events and the change in rainfall patterns that present a danger.
