If China gave us clearance to attack North Korea, I would hope that we would start by blowing up the government (using air power). I think the people would get the idea pretty quickly, so I'm not sure a deadly ground war would follow.
To clarify, maybe you took 'imports' the wrong way, I meant drivers who had never actually never seen snow before, not imported cars. Probably my fault for saying it that way.
As a resident of Michigan, this boggles my mind. Each year, the first month of cold weather is greeted by drivers who seem to have never seen snow before.
It was worse in the city I went to school in though, and there were lots of imports there, so I guess it makes sense.
My first comment was a little quick, internal communications are more private if they are on an internal server, but external communications...
Even in the case of internal communications, I bet there are lots of paranoid (especially smaller) companies that don't know that Larry is emailing stuff home to work on, or whatever.
Well, most software shouldn't be applying gain either, and any degradation from attenuation is unlikely to be noticeable on top of the decent amp and cheap speakers that most people are using.
Basically, the problem with the twiddle-the-system mechanism is that my loud music will occasionally be disrupted by a jarring system noise. This is terrible.
Perhaps the system should present an audio api that makes it easy to select a volume somewhere between nothing and the current system volume (and provide high quality attenuation based on that setting), but I really don't want apps changing the system setting.
If someone breaks into my house, I have to violate his freedom in order to eject him. People suck. Ergo, not workable as a principle.
I have this hilarious notion that a principle is something that cannot be compromised. Anything you are willing to compromise is just a preference (but there is nothing wrong with preferring the struggle to meet an ideal to wallowing in squalor).
Fantasyware seems like a good enough name for unrealized nanotech. The confusion that would arise with the realization of some nanotech would be a side benefit.
You are describing the correct behavior. An audio or video program should not be messing with the system volume (or any auxiliary system volume control).
Flashblock will go a long way towards mitigating the flash attacks, and it generally improves the browsing experience (people way into YouTube or such may have to do a little whitelisting).
PDF is a problem, but I actually prefer setting it to launch an external app and turning off javascript mitigates most of the threats there (as does being up to date). Running Foxit or Sumatra should cut off even more attacks.

The 'native' interface still uses basic looking controls, but they don't really look like that anymore. Both the layout and styling have improved.
You don't need to put a bomb on each missile. It is likely much cheaper not to. This is one of the big problems with a missile defense system, decoys are cheaper than the defense missiles (maybe not if you have 1 decoy per missile, but ICBMs often have multiple warheads, and room for multiple decoys).
Would decommissioning the weapons compatible with the F-16 remove the F-16 from the tally?

It probably depends on your jurisdiction, and on whether you care about violating the license. You certainly don't need a license to make the software work.
I haven't read McNamara's stuff, but H.R. McMaster offers a pretty critical view of the run-up to Vietnam in "Dereliction of Duty". He goes further than calling things that happened mistakes and errors in judgment.

There are some number of fancy sports cars that are front wheel drive.
I prefer to laugh derisively as I drive by ditched SUVs in my aging sedan.
That $17 billion is after expenses and commitments are paid for.
You could have just searched on "GWT", it does not use magic:

The average speed limit for the miles actually driven is a lot more interesting than the average speed limit for the roads.

Wait, which codec is mandatory right now?
I can't think of any other reason to put a fallback codec in the standard, a site like Youtube will have the resources to support any codec they want.
The ban on federal funding limited interest, but no-one is an overstatement:

You can actually use a relatively simple heuristic to not click on ads that you don't understand sufficiently to justify a click.
Defining it is left as an exercise for the reader.
So is that physical law strong or biology strong?

Did you get fired for this?
Also, how bout you tell us the college so we know to tell people to run away screaming?
