"2. Why would Russia release this information? What do they have to gain from saying this?"
This guy isn't in Russia any more, he defected, so this is either disinformation from someone in the US/UK security apparatus, disinformation from the FSB just to screw with everyone, or possibly he just likes to see his name in the papers and has made it all up.
Either way it smells like propaganda of some form.
The new version is supposed to be much better at head tracking, as it's also using an external camera to track the position and orientation of the head-set. Plus, watching that video, I'm not sure if the video of his face is properly synced to the 3D view.
And the thrusters on the new Dragon 2 capsule are 3d printed using laser sintering. To be fair though, that sort of printer must cost way more than buying a gun, and more than a CNC machine which you could also use to make a gun.
"Why did they pick the US as a target? Because the US has been mucking about in their countries for decades."
And because the US government supports the government of Israel. I'm not saying that they are right or wrong to do so, but it is one of the main reasons the US is hated in the Middle East.
Turning iMessage off on your old phone isn't much of a fix when the first warning you get that something is wrong is when you are already using your new phone. Especially if your iPhone was lost/broken/stolen.
And while it's nice that Verizon have a fix, I know that O2 in the UK didn't bother warning my friend when she changed phones.
The commit to remove bigendian x86 is particularly hilarious:
Remove support for big-endian i386 and amd64.
Before someone suggests the OpenSSL people are junkies, here is what they mention about this:
/* Most will argue that x86_64 is always little-endian. Well, * yes, but then we have stratus.com who has modified gcc to * "emulate" big-endian on x86. Is there evidence that they * [or somebody else] won't do same for x86_64? Naturally no. * And this line is waiting ready for that brave soul:-) */
So, yes, they are on drugs. But they are not alone, the stratus.com people are, too.
Everyone I know in that's self employed in the UK has their taxes done by an accountant, everyone else has it done by the accountants at their company. Apart from the accountants, I don't know anyone who does their own taxes.
If you read the linked article you'll see that it is possible to be given a whole life order (aka sentence) for a single crime. That said, pretty much everyone who is currently serving such a sentence committed multiple crimes (and pretty heinous ones at that).
It's important to note that since 2003 the Home Secretary (an elected politician) can no longer issue a whole life order, it's down to the courts. This is in order to prevent punishments from being politically motivated.
The Russians already have about half a dozen nuclear powered ice breakers, and they used to use nuclear power* for remote lighthouses.
*(As far as I can tell, the light houses used RTGs rather than a nuclear reactor)
The blocks are all doled out to different regions, but the entities in charge of those regions (ARIN in this case) haven't finished doling them out to customers.
Not to mention, us as customers don't want to have to pay for our ISPs to replace their entire industry.
That said, I assume most ISPs are rolling out kit that is IPv6 capable to save themselves trouble down the line.
To compare to the UK, we get 25 days a year vacation minimum (although most jobs specify that five days are taken by public holidays, so you get 20 to do what you want with). Forty hours a week is standard, working more than that is slightly unusual, but happens a lot. If you work more than 40 hours a week you'll either be getting overtime, or getting screwed over.
Personally, if I have more than 40 hours of work to do in a week, it's my bosses problem for one employee more then one employee's worth of work.
(Unless I'm having to work more to fix one of my own mistakes, can't complain about that.)
We had the truck round to destroy a bunch of disks recently at work (most of the drives wouldn't have had anything on them, but a few might have been exposed to customer's credit card data), and watching this big green lump of steel turn a harddrive into tiny mettle chips was really fucking cool!
So yeah, maybe it's not necessary, but it's a bloody good show.

So you're telling me I shouldn't trust anybody, but why should I trust you eh?
Nice try buddy, I'm going to be trusting everyone from now on.
Probably GCHQ in the UK, although given how closely they work with the NSA I'm not sure there's a substantive difference.

It means to close the window shutters on something, like when a shop closes that metal grate over the entrance, it is being shuttered.
Bloody hard to buy ammunition here though, even if you do get hold of a gun. (without a license anyway)

In UK English it's always 'couldn't'. "I could care less" just isn't used over here, it wouldn't make sense.

re 4)
There's an upper limit of 127 USB ports per USB 'network'. I doubt many people run into this however.

They want to cover about 6km^2, so they might be able to find one chunk of ice that is all moving in one piece.

They could change the password for the account and give that password to the family, pretty simple really.
You would say that today when I don't have mod points to give you.
The only news about this is that they've just started attaching the legs, as you can see here. Looking forward to seeing how well they work.

Virgin announced several years ago that they would soon be offering it, they still aren't.
