Yet, for some reason, computers and electronics will start working better when I get close to them. It's almost like they know that I am ready, willing, and eager to take them apart and that I'm carrying a screwdriver. It's even the machines that I haven't seen before.
Ditto. I've also perceived this apparent effect, but I wonder how much of it is that users stop misusing the device while I'm nearby.
Wrong. Kip Hawley was right when he said that this would merely shift terrorists' training focus to people on those pre-screened lists.
I think by "Kip Hawley" you meant "Bruce Schneier".
What the Trusted Traveler program does is create two different access paths into the airport: high security and low security. The intent is that only good guys will take the low-security path, and the bad guys will be forced to take the high-security path, but it rarely works out that way. You have to assume that the bad guys will find a way to take the low-security path. https://www.schneier.com/essay-051.html
You can mitigate and manage risk though. by funding projects that are backed by people that actually have a proven track record of completing a job or task.
...and consequently that have a reputation that will be harmed if things go significantly wrong.
Given that the comparison was to Senator Obama, Palin sure as shit had more foreign policy experience.
President Obama was on the Foreign Relations committee in the Senate. Specifically what foreign relations experience did Mrs. Palin have as Governor? I'm curious.
Take the ridicule against Palin. In an interview she said "There are places in Alaska from which one can see Russia." A TRUE statement. The Left "quoted" her as saying "I can see Russia from my house."., Being good researchers, some on the Left consulted maps and noticed that one can not see Russia from Palin's house.
That quote was from the Saturday Night Live skit parodying that exchange.
So the mockery began...
You misunderstand. When questioned about what gave her foreign policy credentials, she cited that Russia was right over the border from Alaska. THAT was what drew the mockery, among other things.
When the 6'3" (1.9m) tall Martin [nwsource.com] slammed Zimmerman's head into the concrete, it represented a lethal danger, not actual damage.
Martin supposedly also weighed about 150 lbs and Zimmerman 240 lbs. A tall, gangly teen beats up a heavy adult by slamming him into things? Possible, I supposed, but it seems fishy.
if people stopped getting paid for stuff, they'd create anyway, out of the love and joy of creation... right?
An artist puts something of himself/herself into the art and wants it to be seen/heard/experienced, not to be shelved indefinitely by someone who doesn't care about the art.
"Autism" has been the word for "I don't know what's wrong" for so long, and the definition keeps getting broader
It would really please me if this meme were to drop off the planet, because it's really not so. Grouping various pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) together doesn't mean they're being lumped together or that the definitions are getting weaker, any more than grouping biological organisms into kingdoms, phyla, classes, etc. means that we treat them all the same.
There are reasons for linking low- and high-functioning autism with Asperger's and other PDDs. At some levels, they need similar support structures both in day-to-day life and in clinical settings. It also gives you a basis for comparison as you drill down into the hierarchy for study.
(I'm not a biologist or physician, but I am a parent of multiple diagnosed Aspies and am likely an undiagnosed one myself.)

Hawley's most recent dump recapitulates things Schneier has been saying for years and which Schneier tried to impress on him when he was still head of the TSA. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2012/04/hawley_channels.html
Finally agreeing with Schneier after he's no longer in a position to use the information is a little worthless.
Yes...yes I did.
I can't find this news on any indian news site (timesofindia, rediff, ibnlive). Where does this blog writer get his news from?
The first rule about blasphemy charges is that you don't talk about blasphemy charges.
I didn't write it, but perhaps you missed the "and not our star, either" bit.
I think everything heavier than iron was made in a supernova.
Very briefly inside a star, then, for generous values of "inside".
Autism is also not communicable. Diseases we vaccinate against are.
But as an approximation it gives values which, while utterly untrue, are very useful for engineers.
Given the latter, you really don't comprehend the definition of "utterly" or "untrue".
The vast majority of Newton's theory of optics is still held as valid today while the laws of motion have been replaced entirely.
And that's why they're not taught anymore in physics classes! Wait, actually they are.
Because they're still effective for situations not involving quantum scales, relativistic speeds, or extreme gravitational fields.
Anyway, your argument is boring.
Fact is often boring, and fiction much more entertaining.

It would not surprise me if competing computer-based attacks and defenses ended up being part of the game, whether planned or not.
why not? i'd be willing to bet other people will fill the gap pretty quickly. someone will make gcc support this within a few more weeks.
I present to you a Slashdot haiku:

It's all so clear now! Brain tumors cause mobile phones!

I'm technically a great ape. Can I have a tablet and telepresence bot, please?
Damn, that movie was one of the dumbest pieces of shit to ever bear the Star Trek name.
Are you sure you've seen The Final Frontier ("What does God need with a starship?") and Nemesis? Those set a formidably low bar.

It's kind of a dog whistle. If you're not aware of the issue, you won't hear it.
Wait until Livermore powers up the bobble generator they're building in secret.
I'm much less worried about a driverless car hitting a pedestrian than I am the average driver hitting one.
Even if the car's automation has Microsoft Windows Automotive 10 running on it?
