The real reason to keep guns off aircraft is to stop morons being a pain in the arse with them, not terrorism. The last long haul flight I was on they gave me a metal knife to cut my dinner up with, because realistically what could I do with it?
Why would industrial machines be connected to the Internet in the first place?
Just because it's a Serial to IP converter doesn't mean that it is connected to the Internet. These types of devices are used all the time to interface to legacy systems that can't talk IP to internal control systems.
And sure you could argue that in this day and age you need more than just boundary protection.. but of the attackers are already in your network I think that you are screwed regardless of what type of peripherals you have installed.
What the fuck does NAFTA or the WTO have to do with how the US taxes US businesses? Did you grow up in a swamp?
If (heaven forbid) Trump became president and raised import tariffs (which he has said he would do), then affected countries could take the US to court at the WTO. If the WTO finds against the US then the US would be subject to sanctions.
The article states "If elected, presidential candidate Donald Trump plans to make Apple start 'building their damn computers and things in this country instead of other countries.'"
Just because the article states that doesn't mean that Trump actually said the word "make". I'd be taking TFA with a yuge grain of salt given the photo of Trump the chose to illustrate it with.
And I say this as someone who thinks Trump has all the class of petulant 3 year old.
Apple will be assembling productsin the US within 10 yrs, using robotics, but it won't help employment rates because it will all be robotics based.
Why do you hate the Robotic poor so much? How can they move up to the Robotic middle class without access to well paying Robotic jobs? Or do you have a hidden hate for the 1% Robotic overlords?
MUNICH—Airbus Group SE will provide helicopters to Uber Technologies Inc. for its on-demand services, the European plane maker’s chief executive said Sunday.
I am just waiting for the drone that comes, lets you harness yourself into some hanging restraints and transports me to work.... bonus if it can deliver me right to the 12th floor window....
I'm running a 15" Macbook Pro C2D from 2007, no repairs. I think that's quite decent for a laptop. Might replace the hard drive with an SSD soon. I am using a newer computer for gaming though.
The problem isn't the age of the hardware, it's the restrictions that stop you from upgrading the OS. My main desktop is an iMac that is stuck on Lion and will never go any further no matter what type of hard drive I update it to.

Yeah.. but do you still have a working 32E? Mine died and was replaced twice by HP while still under warranty - and they kept extending the warranty for them. My recollection is that they went to a design that both allowed some flex in the circuit board and eventually died because of that flex. I probably haven't turned it on for 20 years so I have no clue what the current state is, but I bet that the batteries are long since dead.
OTOH aside from the 32E I bet that any HP equipment from that era is still running strong.
A better comparison from the same page is Cost of the Apollo Program which estimates that the total Apollo cost was around $136B in 2007 dollars. Yet Mars One says it will only cost $6B to put the first 4 people on Mars and $4B per 4 people after that. That's a hell of a difference compared to the cost per person of putting people on the Moon (about $11B per person all up).
Here here. The reason Luke and then Rey were so special and the focus of the movies is because they were above and beyond the normal force users, aka they were naturals.
I suspect that Finn could also be in that group. Someone else said that Finn basically had his arse handed to him during his battle with Ren, but from my point of view given Ren's (supposed) power I think that Finn did amazingly well. I would have expected any force wielding person to easily defeat a non-fprce wielding person. OTOH Finn's other big fight scene may indicate that he is just a good swordsman, yet on the third hand he did seem to pick up the shooting part as quickly as Rey picked up the piloting part.
What's sad is that every one of the supposed "plot holes" like this one you picked are in fact not holes at all if you simply take ten seconds to think about what happened in the movie up to that point.
Ok.. but why the fuck doesn't the First Order have security cameras in their prisons and/or guards outside of locked doors, and how does Ren have such perfect pretty boy hair after he takes off his mask (or does the dark side also deal in vanity? Hmmm.. maybe that explains Justin Bieber?)
Fun stuff, but they haven't done it on the awesome new movie yet.
What awesome new movie? What movie did you see? What I saw was a total rehash of the SW plot with some plucky new characters thrown in for good measure.
What about the psychological damage of the details of your life falling into the hands of someone you'd rather not want having them? Freedom of association also includes the right to choose not to associate with someone.
Well if your damages are non-monetary, then how would a monetary payment make you whole again?

When Trump starts making his own crap in the US, maybe he can be taken seriously on the issue.
I really had no idea that you could manufacture real-estate oversees and import it into the US.
Please tell me more about this!

There's probably a Coursera or Khan Academy cert you can get in your spare time to boost your income.
Well depending on the universe that would be a Khaaaaaaaaaaan Academy cert.
