The old guys are from when patents were a sign of true innovation and achievement.

The stuff they make those party balloons with? The ones that invariably leak their helium overnight?
The material they used on helium should be good enough. It'll need refilling at regular intervals, but hydrogen is fairly cheap, and there's no possibility of running out.
So the only way a carrier could defend against such an attack effectively would be to stay far out to sea, where there is plenty of space in which to intercept attackers. Shouldn't be a problem. Planes are fast.
I wonder if those speedboats could disable a carrier more directly? Pack with explosives, kamikaze into target ship. They can go fast and are cheap enough to swarm. Thick as the armor is, a boatload of explosives hitting at seventy miles per hour must be able to do some damage. They can pack a lot more explosives than a conventional torpedo.
But the fight isn't manned fighter vs unmanned drone.
It's manned fighter vs *ten* unmanned drones.
Drones are cheaper, so you can field lots of them. They are also more expendable - expensive, yes, but not so much, and you don't get the political fallout of losing a patriotic hero.
Maybe switch back to hydrogen? It's cheap. Sure, the flamability or explosive issue is there - but we have improved materials now, and a better understanding of how static electricity behaves. Perhaps it can be made safe.
Base-10 shortcut problem subdivision. It's a trick to speed up mental arithmatic. Not a difficult one. It's questionable how useful mental arithmatic is now when everyone carries a calculator, but as the section is titled 'number sense' I imagine this is probably there to give the younger students something of an intuitive grasp of numbers.
I found the ending story of episode one, about how Sagan inspired him, rather depressing. It couldn't happen today, certainly not in the UK - we're a country paranoid about pedophiles to the point that no teacher dares so much as look at any under-eighteen student. It's just too dangerous.
The Creation Museum is government subsidised. Not because it's creationist, though. It's classified as a tourist attraction - the state grants them special treatment on the grounds that they bring in tourists that then benefit other businesses.
Except it doesn't, quite. Horizon problem: A is in range of the AP, B is in range of the AP, A and B are not in range of each other. If A sends a broadcast frame the AP will relay it so B can recieve it, but it doesn't do that for unicast packets for which it knows the recipient MAC address is on the wired side.
I can imagine a VPN server with a rack of slots for those (Probably just read-only USB mass storage interface). Give one to the VPN, one to the person going on their trip or working at home. You'd need to send out a new key every now and again, but if a key is good for a couple of months (Doable) then it becomes quite reasonable.
One of the example sites is a political site. The other represents people from a politically contested region. Both subjects that might well attract some activists trying to manipulate classifications to smear the reputation of their political opposites. It's a good theory, but it can't explain all of the misblocks. It's likely there are actually several different causes going on at once.
I don't see why you can't have more than one. It's a big region. You'd just need a way to keep them from being attracted to each other, but that's not hard: Park them a hundred meters apart and put a big metal pole between them.
The US military budget is huge. Plus they can't be attacked, for they have nuclear weapons. If China invades and come close to looking like they might win, no more major Chinese cities.
A huge slash in military spending won't threaten the US directly. It will lessen their force projection abilities - their power to invade somewhere like Afganistan and Iraq. The threat of the US doing that is enough to keep some countries in line - it's the reason Israel hasn't been invaded, and why North Korea hasn't done more than sabre-rattling against the south. Consider it the 'Pax Americana' - the various oppressive dictators of the world know they are free to oppress their own people, but start invading their neighbors and there will be an American bomb* coming through the palace roof. Except for Russia, for obvious reasons.

Litecoin has just enough credibility to have people trading it for non-trivial amounts of real money. The rest are generally worthless.
TOR hidden service. They can't threaten to sue who they can't identify.
Women: If your husband denies doing that, he is either blind or lying.

I've only one thing I'd like to print right now: A replacement reverse-nozzle-thingie that goes on the end of the hoover hose.

Helium really isn't much better. Tiny tiny atoms. At least hydrogen has the decency to pair up.

Relations have indeed improved. They have gone from the brink of war all the way to a simmering mutual hate and loathing. That's still an improvement.

SSL is designed to operate over insecure networks. That's the idea.

True, but it's one of the many factors fueling the current inter-class resentment.
These machines are decedents of machines designed many years ago, when linux was less mature. Many of them still use OS/2.
Potentially China has a huge advantage: A looser idea of 'man rated.'
