  1. No, you're an anonymous coward.

  2. That's basically the rule that France (and various neighbouring countries) put into place since the attacks.

    When you say "since the attacks" you mean "since the Bombay terrorist attack in 2008".

  3. All cell phones must be purchased with gov't issued ID and registered to a SSN at time of purchase.

    Huh? That's already the case. (Minus te us-specific SSN nonsense -- what use is a non-unique personal identfier).

    At first glance it looks like a monolithic kernel.

    Pretty glancing glance you've got there:

    Redox's kernel is a microkernel. The architecture is largely inspired by L4 and Minix.

    Oh good grief, the only example you could come up with the last time as well.

    "Recent observed global warming is significantly less than that simulated by climate models. This
    difference might be explained by some combination of errors in external forcing, model response and
    internal climate variability".

    So the answer is no.

    I know you're trying to make a "skeptic" joke here, but in fact our climate models are "notoriously accurate".

    So what you are actually saying... "but the battery had only 4% capacity at the moment of landing" ...is that these things need better/bigger batteries.

    Great idea, put bigger batteries on it.

    Edge, Microsoft's new browser, uses some HTML library to automatically embed and present HTML files while navigating the web. This is what Java does with applets, and Flash with SWF files -- it unintentionally allows a hacker to append malicious code to HTML files and trigger drive-by attacks, which exploit the HTML library vulnerabilities to target Windows 10 users. All that an attacker needs to do is to find and create a database of HTML library vulnerabilities it could leverage to distribute his malware.

    Yes, it's possible the "6th biggest city" thing is bollocks, and you can argue endlessly about whether there are more brits outside the UK or frogs outside France but the initial claim "not many [French] going the other way [from France to the UK]" is obvious rubbish.
