This is what armored cockpit doors are for. You can detonate a bomb. You cannot take the plane over and fly it into populated areas or buildings. That is 99% of the airplane security we need, because no matter what, if someone wants to get explosives on a plane, they will.
As much as myself and others may dislike the way Google does certain things, they are primarily an advertising company and they have to turn a profit. That they are big enough to take the risk of standing up for our freedoms speaks volumes about the stewardship of the company. Let the Google bashers come out, but as they say, Haters Gonna Hate.
As much as I dislike Murdoch, that is a fairly sizable investment. Their analysis of the market, which was almost entirely unknown came up wanting, or they wanted more time. By then it was too late. Happens in business all the time [see Microsoft and pmps/phones/tablets].
The road is littered with ideas that fail, and some that succeed. They simply decided not to risk it, I don't see that as news.
The earth is large and has a dynamic, varied climate, subject to large changes and 'anomalies'. That said, to show that half the more extreme events seen show evidence of human induced change puts into perspective just how much (uncontrolled, and lacking knowledge) input we have on this planet and its climate. Humankind is a force to be reckoned with.
The question should not be is warming/climate change aided by manmade endeavors. It should be, now that we realize we have the power to alter the climate, what do we want to do? Let it go as is? Change it for the better? Try to change it back?
Now I will go get my popcorn.. I need to have snacks for the ensuing battle.
Your second example has NOTHING to do with Trayvon. I believe the Zimmerman was justified and not a racist, but adding to the rhetoric with blatant bullshit advances no cause but your own karma.
See the danger of such a slippery slope ? The government can't see it. They're dead serious. Hacking websites = terrorism. It boggles the mind.
Frankly, what the U.S. government does on a daily basis is far more terrifying than anything some script kiddies hijacking DNS entries could do.

This week it's hacking a website.
Next week it's: "You broke a website's TOS! Terrorist! Off to Gitmo with you!"
It is worse.. it is not just hacking the site, it is aiding the hackers in any way. "Oops, grocer you sold that terrorist a bagel, you are a terrorist. Sorry Mr, Consultant, you set up this asshats home network, you are a terrorist!" (Yes the jewish food/muslim terrorist dichotomy was intended).
And before you guys step in and say it is about 'intent', intent matters not one whit when you are against the -letter- of the law (or how it is enforced), and some prosecutor/lea has an axe to grind (be it because of personal dislike of the target or for personal gain). The may even come up with some parallel construction to cover other up more 'evidence' they extracted about you (See, he called his sister in Dallas the same day the terrorist hacker was in Dallas! They must have been in cahoots!).
About tails..you say the 'numerous security hols found' is not comforting...Did you read the post?
The tails devs regularly post all the security hols found, with links to the source of the hole, and then patch it in the next version.
The issues are often bugs in the browser, or libcrypt, or some other part of the system. Perhaps even a new TOR version. Since they are essentially just packaging a distribution, this shows not that it is OMG SCARY UNSAFE, but that they are staying abreast of the issues with the apps and libs they roll into their distro. Not just keeping up with it, but linking right on the front page all the information you need to determine if this is a significant threat or applies to you.
If you cannot bother to read the reports or care to even try to understand what they mean, then perhaps you should stick with windows. It auto updates for you and sound more than secure for your purposes.
I do a lot of sales on ebay, and as such am required to use paypal. At least if I want to make sales. That said, I never let my paypal account go above $1000 (typicall not above $100), and it is tied to only one bank account that I never let go above $1000. My personal and business accounts are with a local credit union that has great service and lets me auto transfer funds between accounts as much as I like with no fees.
It take a bit of diligence on my part, but this way if my account is frozen, or somehow paypal decides to reach into my bank account for whatever purpose (be it a hacked account, or some shady business practice), the damage is limited.
Well, after writing that based on the fairly poor TFS, I broke/. canon and scanned TFA. It seems the messages are sent encrypted with a temporary key. Not being an encryption expert, I would presume that you would have to transmit the temporary key to the recipient though, and that would be subject to attack. Not to mention the fact that you are sending encrypted message bringing more attention to you.
I think this gives a false sense of security. Sure it encrypts messages on my device. And helpfully auto deletes them after the expiry has passed. However, if the person you are worried about gaining access to the messages can silently coerce the transport company (in this case your mobile provider), to release the contents of messages they have stored, of what use it?

This shit will not end until this country is bankrupt completely, or taken over (from within or without).
Does your $100 HDMI cable reach across the house and up two floors to my bedroom?

Nuke it from orbit. Only way to be sure. In fact the same procedure could be used on tepco official and management to good effect.

He should have flown his stunt towards Anthony's Weiner?
Guess what is the superposition of "quantum" and "hacker"?
A quacker?
That and you never know for sure if your post was first!

If this is done, the asteroid needs to be peanut shaped.
Hacking websites = terrorism now ?

Kink Tut? WTF was he into? He was like 12!
So, only Linux users are into pegging? Your title confuses me!

A tiny amount of weight had been added to the kingpost, in violation of the measurement rules for the class.
So that is where Larry Ellison hid the pennies he hears from ask.com toolbar spam on the Java installer.
