This isn't just with phones. Did you know that law enforcement agencies can see what you're doing when you're on the internet?? You should stop using the internet. But it's probably too late, anyway, because they've probably infected your computer with a program that monitors your every keystroke!
And that's not all! Did you know there're identifying numbers on your car, too? Law enforcement can track you and indict you simply because of a number on the backside of your car! You should probably just leave your car at home.
And don't even get me started about how unsecure your fingertips are.
I didn't see the pool either, but that doesn't mean it's not there.
Nope. And I'm running IE, too. I do have a non-American IP address (for some IT reason that company HQ across the pond never explained), so maybe they figured I wouldn't care about American politics or the RNC.
Also, wouldn't a flying-wing aircraft designed for passenger travel be incredibly inefficient in terms of space usage? Look at the B2 - most of its body is the wing and engine structure and a tiny cockpit for 2 crew members, plus a bomb bay. Imagine trying to scale up the B2 to fit 100+ people - it'd be gargantuan. It could handle the weight just fine (the B2 carries 50,000lbs of ordinance already), but to fit that many people comfortably would be quite a feat. IANA aerospace engineer so please correct me if I'm wrong.
Well, a lot of the B-2's volume seems to be taken by the engines, which in this design are sticking out the top on rotating poles (which presents major design issues by itself). So that's a lot more volume to stick people inside. Moreover, the thing has the point sticking out backwards as well, whereas the B-2 doesn't. So that adds a lot of interior volume. Also remember that this won't have to be stealth, so that frees up a lot of design decisions.
Boeing has been trying for years to make a flying-wing version of the C-130, so obviously this guy isn't the only one thinking of using a flying wing as a cargo carrier.
No, that's not Walk Jog Run. That's Walk Jog Float. Ramjets and scramjets are still air-breathing engines. The altitude and speed limits for simple turbojets are due to the temperature increase involved in compressing and slowing the air to the proper values for combustion, not there being "less air". These problems are reduced by removing the turbo and using ram pressure instead.
Oxygen is a required part of a combustion engine - you can't burn something without it. It you want to make a combustion engine that doesn't require air (for space), you need to carry your oxygen with you - i.e. a rocket, something very different from a scramjet.
(see how well Iraq and Afghanistan held back the US military with just poorly armed volunteers defending their homes and families from the invading army).
I know, right? The Iraqis held the Americans off for 21 whole days!
They'll need to get to work creating something to monitor and regulate all these cyberweapons they're creating. A defense net for the Air Force, a "Net-in-the-Sky", if you will. That should work, right?
This. Also, fancy fountain pens draw lines of different thickness depending on their angle - a thicker line when moving up and down, a thinner one when moving sideways. The angle of pen to paper for a lefty is 90 degrees different from a righty; that means that anything that would be a thick line when written by a righty is a thin line for a lefty and vice versa. It's not an issue for normal stuff, but if you ever look at calligraphy written by a lefty it just looks - odd. Backwards.
There was a hurricane named Irene seven years ago, yes. It was never a cat 5, and never made landfall. So...huh? Are you possibly talking about Ike, 4 years ago, which peaked at cat 4 but made landfall as cat 2?
That's like complaining that a McDonald's commercial didn't show you how to grill a hamburger. It was a video about the hackerspace. If you want to learn about hacking, watch a video about hacking. Not about a place.
Yes, because punishing a company for business practices that provoked 1,000,000 people to require legal recourse is something we never want to do. Also, I don't know which is worse, your spelling or the fact that you pay $50/person for lunch.
Maybe you should read my post again. Namely, the "intensifier, not a qualifier" part. Or, since you seemed to fail at reading comprehension the first time, let me explain it a different way. If someone said "In cases of real rape, pregnancy is rare," would you make a fuss about "fake rape"? No, because the opposite of real rape isn't fake rape, the opposite of real rape is consensual sex. The "real" is just an intensifier.
And this is the exact shit I was talking about. People wasting time arguing with one another about "legitimate" instead of focusing on Akin himself. I just got called "repulsive" for attacking someone who thinks rape victims should be penalized, because people suck at vocabulary.

Personally, there haven't really been any movies or music made in the past 15 years that are even worth downloading for free,
"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man!"
Oh wait, that movie's not 15 years old. So you wouldn't get it.
worn as a bracelet, or woven into textiles
Just what we need, clothing that overheats and combusts.
"Is it getting hot in here?" "OH GOD! TAKE OFF ALL YOUR CLOTHES!!"
Do you have Adblock or NoScript?

I thought electrons and all truly elementary particles had no size whatsoever, they were ideal points
Don't worry, there's always more to learn. Before I came to Slashdot, I thought there were gnomes in my computer, riding gnus and drinking wine.

The pilots will be fine. It'll give them a chance to live out their lifelong fantasies of switching from a normal plane to the Millennium Falcon.
I could RTFA fine. Dunno what poll you're talking about.
The word "hoover" just sounds weird in Eastwood's voice.

"No, hold on, man. We can evacuate in a minute. There's this even better hurricane video we should watch next!"
Shush! Don't you know, the words of Jesus are trumped by the words of Paul about Jesus?
Sorry, but reading that play isn't allowed anymore. It's been shown that 98% of people who do so end up jobless!
I'm not sure I would want to trust my data with a system named for something prone to holes and large mass ejections.

First step: Start preaching revolution.
Second step: Unneeded. I've already disappeared.

Unfortunately, due to a mysterious "bank routing error", all $900,000 was deposited into the accounts of the estate of Thomas Edison.
