What analog hole? That's easy for sound, but HD analog is phased out no. It's digital from the disc to the decoder to the encrypted HDMI port to the LCD display. Intercepting that requires very elaborate and expensive equipment.
HDMI may still be the weak point though - the HDCP encryption it uses has a number of weaknesses. Pirates haven't much used it because the equipment to record from HDMI is expensive, but if they can't break the disc that'll be the next plan.
"They just show the person proposing them is ignorant of actual Islam."
Yes, they do. And as President, part of his role is diplomatic. Which means maintaining reasonable relations with a number of countries in which Islam is of culture-defining importance. Ignorance is forgiveable, but only in those who are able to recognise it in themselves. Trump clearly does not. If a future President Trump were to say something of the pig-bullet nature, it would be the cartoon riots again - but ten times worse, and with serious economic implications. America could actually lose out on trade deals as the governments of every muslim-majority country in the world would have to react to public pressure to distance themselves from the blasphemous nation, and it might even lead to some seeking closer ties with another superpower.
China's main concern with North Korea is stability. They just want the country to stay right where it is, because a war would be a great deal of trouble for China. NK's tendency towards sabre-rattling concerns them too.
Trump has advocated torturing captive enemies as a deterrent against future attacks, and in a recent speech suggested that the way to end terrorism is to dip bullets in pig blood so muslims will believe getting shot sends them to hell.
The world loves to follow American politics. It's endlessly entertaining, the level of sheer insanity that drives it. But it is no way to run a country.
This is pocket-change to facebook, even discounting the bulk purchaser benefits facebook enjoys. Negligable cost, and a small improvement in reputation.
Perhaps there are fundamental limitations on the lifespan of an organism which natural selection cannot overcome? There's no reproductive advantage to the gradual falling-apart of joints, bones and brain that characterise old age, there's simply no way in which it could have been avoided without incurring a reproductively-worse cost in another area.
Cancer will kill every multicellular organism eventually, unless something else kills it first.
Not only them. There are several flavors of denial. The fossil fuel industry is one, motivated by money, but it's not the only one. There are also those who deny it out of political ideology - dedicated libertarians who refuse to accept it because if climate change were a real concern then there would be no option but to impose strict government regulation to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. Such an act would be in direct violation with libertarian ideals, and therefore climate change cannot be accepted as a real concern. There are also the culture-war types, who reject climate change concern because it is a 'liberal thing' - American politics is very much a team sport, and if one side takes a position the other is pressured to oppose them.
There's one company that claims they will find oil by biblical guidance, Zion Oil & Gas. They somehow managed to dupe investors to keep funding them for a decade as they drilled where the bible told them to and found absolutely no oil at all. There's some debate if the company is run by a true believer, or if the whole thing is just a big scam - probably a pump-and-dump stock market manipulation. Either way: No geologists, no oil.
Hamas: Popular terrorist organisation with the stated aim of murdering civilians. Israel: Government with a poor human rights record that openly boasts about being effectively an apartheid state, tolerated as an ally only because every other power in the region is even worse.
----- "I like the Walrus best," said Alice, "because you see he was a little sorry for the poor oysters." "He ate more than the Carpenter, though," said Tweedledee. "You see he held his handkerchief in front, so that the Carpenter couldn't count how many he took: contrariwise." "That was mean!" Alice said indignantly. "Then I like the Carpenter best—if he didn't eat so many as the Walrus." "But he ate as many as he could get," said Tweedledum. This was a puzzler. After a pause, Alice began, "Well! They were both very unpleasant characters—"
Yes, and my access point claims 100m range as well. It doesn't work at the bottom of the garden. Those are very optimistic figures based on the assumption that you are operating the drone in free space, several kilometers from any other source of interference.
Bush II managed to screw up both of them, by looking at the war as a simple military contest without considering the subsequent expense of occupying territory with a hostile population afterwards. Sun Tzu had a great deal to say on how to fight a guerilla war against a force with superior numbers, but I don't recall him saying much on defending against the same tactics beyond 'try not to get into that situation.'
I could have explained in detail about how the key management works, but I was trying to keep it brief. The important thing is that they have the phone, need the pin to access it, and security is dependant upon the phone being designed only to behave in a certain way.
This issue has been known since The Art of War. The first chapter can be summed up as two rules which Sun Tzu stresses are of far greater importance than any battlefield tactics: 1. Don't get into a war unless you are confident you can win in. 2. Even if you're confident you can in it, don't get into a war unless you are confident you can win it quickly - because war is horrendously expensive, and a prolonged campaign may leave your treasuries empty and people in poverty even if you are victorious in the field.
It's more a usability limitation: Do you want to have to enter a fifteen-character alpha-numer-symbolic passcode every time you want to use your phone?
It's not really exhaustive and expensive. It's commenting out some code, recompiling and signing. A few hours work. Apple is resisting because if they are required to cooperate with the US government to undermine their own security it'll seriously harm them in the non-consumer international market. Along with every other American tech company.
Do you think any government or large non-US corporation is going to want to buy iPhones if they know the US government has the authority to issue a 'hacking warrant' to the manufacturer? After all, it wouldn't be hard to produce a targeted firmware update with a back door that only the target phone downloads. It would mean Apple saying goodbye to a lot of lucrative government sales. The only consolation is that it'd hurt Microsoft just as much - governments are already concerned about their dependence upon Windows and this would hasten any efforts to move away from it.
Yes, and much like games consoles, the device is designed to resist hacking attempts even by someone who has physical access - and for exactly the same reason. The best technicians the government has might be able to carefully open up a chip enclosure in a cleanroom and find the right places to apply probes, but they'd risk destroying it in the attempt.
"No doubt on purpose, to fit a particular agenda."
Agenda? There's only one agenda behind the Fukoshima exagerations: Money. Fear means viewers means ratings means profits. A big nuclear scare sells a lot of papers and a lot of advertising.
It's encrypted, but with a very short key length: It's a four-digit pin, only 10,000 possible keys. The security is dependant upon trusting the hardware and firmware to do the auto-wipe after too many failures.
2012: Every part of the UK *except* London was opposed. We all saw what would happen: A huge heap of tax money would go to fund an event that would be of no benefit at all to anyone outside of London, as what few benefits remained after the games ended would all be focused on that city.
Turned out the benefits weren't much use to London either. No-one actually wants a velodrome.

"Free speech is not "say whatever the hell you want and no one's allowed to criticise you"."
You've skipped over about five years of history. These days free speech, like religious freedom, means whatever the speaker wants it to mean.

"pulled out of stolen iPhones bought off of eBay"
Huh. So that's where they come from.
The entire south-east is now essentially 'outer London.'
" If the IOC had any brains, they would require certain minimum standards be in place BEFORE they even look at a hosting proposal."
But no city is going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars-equivalent to meet standards for a bid they would probably lose anyway.
