You're clearly ignorant of the importance of the work that Apple has performed on OSX that enables it to adjust the scheduling of tasks so that they can agregate task execution and thus place the processor into low power modes for much longer than Linux or windows do. That doesn't stop you from making side comments from a position of ignorance but if you'd like to change that, I'd suggest searching for the excellent Ars technica article on the subject.
Really? You've determined that in general, "police the world over have a bad tendency to interpret an exclusive test as inclusive" because you're "getting this from the news and from actual court transcripts" and you have done this over enough cases to be sure that this is a general conclusion you can make and not the sensational exceptions? Ok, then, just how many court transcripts is it that you claim to have read and the percentage of these in which police are performing as you claim?
Having talked to people in the justice system, i'm confident that your claims are highly exaggerated as not even defense attorneys make these claims other than for specific exceptions. Oh but you certainly know better...
People that need space heaters? Linux kernels are nowhere near as efficient as OSX is at sleeping the CPU. Running Linux on a macbook usually cuts battery duration by 50%.
You need to watch less TV docudrama and talk to more people in the justice system.
Cops & Defense/District Attorneys are well aware of the limitations of DNA (even though many jurors aren't)? DNA, like fingerprints mean nothing to a case if the implicated people have reasonable reasons for them being found. Do you really think DA's try to surprise the defense by trumpeting "The accused's DNA was found on the crime scene" when they suspect a guy killed his wife in their home?!? No, it's when the proof is conclusively damning like a suspect that claims no contact with a rape victim that is trumped by his DNA in a rape kit that it is useful.
However, many jurors, after watching CSI year after year, now expect ironclad scientific evidence and are reluctant to convict without it.
For the first few boosters recorded intact, they will be bringing the barge back into port with the first stage on it so that they can study them (and not risk losing them). Partial refuelling & then hopping to base is only intended to be a temporary mesure depending on how long it takes for the authorities to accept that a 1st stage recovery area is safe enough for direct descent. If Space-X keeps "soft-landing" the barge, even if they don't recover the first stages, the partial refuel & hop may never become necessary.
Space-X already looked into and abandoned using parachutes. It's not feasible.
The reinforcements needed to attach parachutes to an almost empty 1st stage in addition to a parachute big & strong enough to bring a 14 story high object back from near-space at supersonic speeds would add tons & STILL not guarantee a soft enough landing for it to be worth it.
Got any other brilliant ideas? Maybe lots of balloons to cushion the landing? The spare slip&slide you have in the garden?
I'm french & don't have to ask. Nor do I think that any security is perfect. Flagging the use of a relatively little used communication method for further investigation is a practical and common sense decision, no matter what Timothy and his simplistic buddies think.
Good guess but the first stage is also 14 stories tall & might tip over if the wind is other than dead calm.
Elon twitted a while ago that they were planning on welding shoes over the landing legs to stabilise the booster until it reaches port. I assume the they are planning on some longer term system but nothing has filtered out yet.
Falcon has more that one hydraulic system. That the hydraulics used for the engine verniers uses RP-1 says nothing about the separate systems initially used for stage separation & now also for the fins.
Boosters don't need hydraulics just for the engines, they are also needed to assist in stage separation -- at the opposite side of the booster and at a moment when the engines are off & the RP-1 system is no longer actively being pressurised so they almost always use a separate system using a pressurised tank of fluid. When the need for a hydraulic system for fin actuators on descent was discovered (again, when the engine is mostly off & at the opposite side of the booster) it was logical to use it. They just didn't realise how big it needed to be.
The booster already had 2 hydraulic systems when they discovered that they needed fins to stabilise the booster on descent. RP-1 is used for the engine actuators at the bottom of the booster and a separate open hydraulic system was used at the top using pressurised Nitrogen to assist in Stage separation. The RP-1 hydraulics are active when the engines are active but the fins are needed throughout descent (when the motor is off most of the time) so the upper hydraulic system is used.
Try coming to France as a tourist. Hey, some people are wonderful, but lots of people think of & treat tourists like dirt. There's a reason why the expression "Paris would be wonderful if it weren't for the Parisians" exists...
Besides he may just be english & we cordially hate them just as much as they hate us. Where would the rugby rivalry be without it?
France in a general sense was certainly afraid: Sales figures for the beginning of the post-holiday sales were off by over 30%
Were we afraid of being personally attacked? No, in general but a few jewish friends certainly were.
Note that the millions in the streets didn't happen until the terrorists were all identified and dead. I know many people who were iffy about going but firmed up once it was clear that the authors of the killings were dead.
Will all potentially dangerous terrorists use secure mail: Yes, thanks to Snowden, they know that unsecured electronic communication will get them identified. Do other people use secure mail: Yes, some of us have our reasons. Do most people use secure mail: No. Most people don't care enough. Does using secure mail automatically make one a terrorist in the eyes of a spanish judge: No, but it does let him quickly winnow out those who might need another look. Is this a bullshit story: Yup, click-bait right up there with Timothy's usual confusion of correlation & causation.
You, and the mods who gave you points, are either ignorant or biased to the point of imbecility.
Putin has already been clearly shown to use the most tenuous pretexts to use Russia's courts to beat, imprison & kill his opponents. Changing the laws so that the F64 & F65 codes disqualify people from having a drivers license WILL be used.
Putins goons will stop & strip search critics just as they do now. They'll just replace his underwear with ladies & boom, F65.1: No drivers licence for you, pervert...
If you would take the time to actually read TFA (yeah I know, heresy), you'd know that Apple has already addressed the vulnerability in recent minis & iMacs so the window is already closing.
Added to that, you need the exploit (which is closely held at present) & physical access to the Mac. This rootkit is extremely unlikely to be a problem for anyone.
The submitter is clearly attempting to pound square pegs, but whatever...
As far as needing 3-4 disks being a problem for MBP's, not really. I know a few photographers who just added Drobo Mini's to their bags: 4 thunderbolt attached drives in a small, easily transportable format.

I doubt you have any in depth research. For whatever reason you care to justify, you're cherry picking and overgeneralizing from exceptions.
Nobody says it doesn't happen but your inability to see what is the norm and what isn't says much about your prejudices.

Some of us consider battery life as an important criterium when comparing OSs for use in portable computers. Apparently you do not.

Who says that the drive MUST be internal for people to get work done with it?

You think that use of an external email system that claims it's secure makes it so? That's cute...

BZZZTTTT! Wrong answer!

You get that a lot less than about paris. France may be the tourism Capitol of the world but immensely more people want to move to the USA.

Just about all of them, to tell you the truth...
You mean like the LEM did?
Except that the LEM didn't & all the hydraulics in both the moon landing's decent & ascent stages were one use.

Putin's logic: I walk into your house, put a gun to your head and then screw your wife = consensual sex.
Then we get apologists like you claiming "she wanted it".
