On iOS go to General -> Acessibility -> LED Flash for Alerts. Switch it on. Then go to Notification -> Messages -> Repeat Alert. Switch it to 10 Times.
Your iPhone will now flash the LED and repeat alerts for 10 times every two minutes.
Snowden is neither accused nor convicted of any crime. Yet the US seems to be about to threat to sanction any country that harbors him. I think the US would finally officially and publicly say goodbye to being a constitutional state and to obeying the rule of law. And I'm very interested in the WTO-Implications.
This could be a good thing for the rest of the world.
So they shut down the quality-news-broadcast network and set free a pile of professionals, some of them well known I guess. Will that mean that Greece will now emerge getting a professional quality-news-podcast-network and will that mean that there has to be a reason to shut down the internets, too?
I think at this has nothing to do with Kim Jong Un but with a mad military machine running on autopilot. The wheels within the machine have no chance to survive but by producing even more hawkish and outlandish threats. There's no way out because there is nobody to talk to. Kim Jong Un is just stuck as the Master-Puppet, however there is nobody behind the curtain but a headless chicken.
I guess that even the Chinese do not have much of an influence because if they build up pressure DRKs only possible reactions are more outlandish.
> Except European countries have very low amounts of gun violence precisely because they strictly control guns with laws.
No, it's because we are living in socialism and everybody knows that there's a shortage of everything in socialism. So basically we're trying to keep up with guncrime, however, we have a shortage on bullets...

Because people already are frightened because of flying itself and giving away control to the pilots/team/ground staff.
I'm curious whether frequent flyers are as impressed by the security theater as casual flyers. For myself I worry more about the taxi-driver to/from the airports
could bring aboard a hand-grenade, untracable, in a body-cavity, remove it on the loo and detonate it without it being damped. This needs absolutely nothing except from a somewhat dirty imagination and lube.
The fact that this does not happen all the time tells me that there are way less people eager to blow up planes than we are made believe.
Since strict gun control combined with no death penalty in Western Europe do not seem lead to maximum mayhem maybe it would be better to try something else than no gun control and playful and gruesome versions of death penalty.
Unless you thing that there's something abolutley different going on in Western Europe.

> An R/C aircraft might have steel and other really hard materials that could do more damage.
So somebody dropped a castiron drone from somewhere above the plane?
I see no other way to make an aircraft made of steel or similar fly.
Maybe a castiron quadcopter with a nuclear reactor?

Interestingly life-expectancy in Germany (at least for men) seems to be highest in Bavaria :)

> The only thing universal healthcare brought you was waiting lines and mediocre care
Average life expectancy:
USA: 78.1 years
UK: 79 years
Germany: 79.3 years
France: 81 years
I think I'll keep my German mediocre universal healthcare.

OTOH, maybe people who are into blowing up planes for religious reasons are those who would never stick something up their arse, let alone a bomb.
That whould leave us with
a) people blowing up planes for non-religious reasons
b) people with bombs not hidden in their anus
People about to blow up saudi princes on ground seem not so sqeamish though:

Now please take this rope and explain why Apple should support FreeBSD
(Except from the obvious one that FreeBSD is a cool and very nice and stable Server OS and jails and ZfS are great)

Homicide rate today in northern America:
10.2 per 100.000 inhabitants per year
Homicide rate in Western Europe (no death penalty, strict gun control):
1.0 per 100.000 inhabitants per year

And yes, the suggested law is beyond stupid as it is in Germany.
And France has universal healthcare and a life expectancy 3 years higher than the US.
And about the same unemployment rate.
Firing people isn't all what's important in life...
