Military designs are not really for sale, my friend. Never were, never will be. They just basically robbed the Yakovlev bureau blind, using the bureau's inexperience in business matters.
As far as whether the design was "worthless" I beg to differ. Given the VTOL requirement, without this Lockheed Martin wouldn't even be in the running for the JSF program.
And the US is known for stealing Russian plans. Compare Yak 141 and F-35, for instance. Lockheed Martin basically created a joint venture with Russia during the early perestroika years, copied the plans and exited the joint venture.
Brilliant jerks are jerks because they get rewarded for being jerks. Start rewarding them for _not_ being jerks and the problem will go away. Works every time.
Putin & co have one singular motivation - to steal as much money as possible before they're kicked out. Linux makes it easier. See, relatively small percentage of people know about it (mostly nerds), so you can hire your own companies, pay them millions of dollars for free software and steal not the usual 30%, but ALL of the money paid. Brilliant.
The part I don't understand is how does one have sex with a woman while she's asleep? It takes quite a bit of time and effort to get her ready for sex when she's not asleep, and without doing that you could damage your boner (and would 100% guaranteed wake her up before you got a chance to do anything at all) if you tried to fuck her dry. I'd like to hear her explain how this is physically possible.
At least SOMEONE realistically estimates their tablet sales prospects against Apple. Yes, I do think they'll be able to sell 35 of them or so. Maybe 40, if they drop the price.
I think it's time to consider banning EPA itself. Seriously, those fuckers are a joke. Kill it with fire and replace with something that has more teeth. Do the same to FDA as well.
What really needed to be done is: 1. Single payer system for basic healthcare. You can't have surgeons and insurance company execs who drive Ferraris and reduced healthcare cost at the same time. No pain - no gain, something's gotta give. In the system where the normal pricing rules don't work (because prices aren't even advertised, and you won't bargain anyway when it's your health or life that's on the line), someone has to have the authority to fight the more extravagant examples of creative pricing (i.e. pharmaceuticals that cost 1/10th the price once you cross either of the borders) 2. All premium services (i.e. shit you wouldn't die from if denied care) require separate insurance, with stiff premiums. 3. A separate, progressive, mandatory federal income tax for healthcare (and yes, I know it would hit me disproportionally, since I make quite a bit). 4. To reduce the tax burden, reduce Pentagon budget by 4/5ths or more and get out of fucking Afghanistan. Winning there is _not possible_. If we're so into spending money we don't have, let's at least spend it on things that matter. 5. Put the Congress and the Senate on the same insurance plans as what their constituents have. Not gold-plated, diamond encrusted Cadillac plans they pay $0 for right now. Make them feel the pain of the common man.
I, for one, welcome our predictive overlords. I like the immediate feedback, and I find things faster if I can reformulate my query and evaluate the result on the fly.
As if this wasn't enough, they let you TURN IT OFF. Perhaps not on your friend's machine, but certainly on your own. And you pay $0 for the service. I mean, the entitlement here is staggering. They'll measure the audience and decide what the audience wants. If you don't like it, you're free to use half a dozen other search languages, which make you type (and retype) the whole query, or engage in the back-breaking labor of checking the checkbox which disables Instant.
So the leakers will now have to rely on plain old memorization, or print shit out. The only real way to prevent leaks is by monitoring access and severely punishing people for leaking. This leak only happened because the leaker all but knew he was impossible to catch. In fact, he was only caught because he bragged about it and someone turned him in.
Now the tricky part for him is to avoid drinking any tea. The CIA has polonium, too, and its access to UK justice system facilities is virtually unrestricted.
Python does not compile to "assembly". Python is an interpreted language that compiles to Python bytecode, which then gets executed without JIT compilation.
I don't think you would, if it really came down to it. For all you know, his family might have been blown up by an American rocket, and he could have a stick of C4 stuck up his ass.
The real litmus test for this is whether you'd support a nasty, middle-Eastern looking guy with a thick beard and a white prayer cap, if he chooses to opt out. I know it's all just security theatre and so on, but I'd like to see the reaction of the folks who opt out on principle if they end up in this situation, and have to board the plane with this dude who also opted out.

On average, good programmers write about 50 lines of code per day. I don't see how typing speed matters.
Linus himself says Git is not as good as BitKeeper.
IANAL, but maybe it's because by law of _this_ country they _don't have to_ turn it over without a court order?

Let me ask the obvious question. How do you know it's actually his profile?
Michael's employer thinks so too, which is why he has $20K to blow on a cause like this.
Did YOU do anything useful in your life?

Face it, it had to be said.

Man, I have this bridge I'd love to sell to you.
And sly Afghans will defeat it with a Kalashnikov anyway. What a waste of taxpayer money.

Great. Now shit will break every week as opposed to only when I decide to update (once a year or so).
Our cameras are so good, they're banned in Kuwait!
