    So smart that you are stupid. If you were to stop and think you would know that realised is correct, just not in your little corner of the world. An Afghani can be a unit of currency or a person from Afghanistan. As for westerner, you might know of this great country but I do not so I do not capitalise it even though I do accept that it is OK for you to do so.

    I realise that it is stupid to expect logic from an AC but the case has nothing to do with child porn. The person arrested did not have any involvement with child porn any more than the DNS servers or Google did. If a child porn user uses Tor it does not make Tor connected with child porn. I realise that this may be a bit complicated at your age.

    A power failure is very different to an SSD failure. Any drive can normally cope with a power failure. You have to create the situation whereby such an event will cause damage to the actual drive.

    Criminals and terrorists do not have a problem getting around the NSA, it is only ordinary people that are being spied on. Anyone organisation that does anything suspect will set up their own DNS with their own TLDs (just like the .onion network) and work away unnoticed, even some companies are already doing this so that they have their own intranet on the internet, all requests for a .com address etc. are just passed on the normal DNS server. They can use their own mail system with as much good encryption as they like and the NSA do not even know it is there or have access if it is in another country. The normal people who are using Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail etc. are the ones being spied on, even Snowden said this. They say that they are fighting terrorism but that is only to justify what they are doing, they are spying on you and I.

    If Nokia had not tried to run behind Apple but instead had excelled at what it was good at, making really incredible dumb phones, I think they would have done well. They could have also gone for the middle market. The 6700 is still a sought after phone because it was brilliant.

    They have only just released details of the 515 and I was just about to buy my first Nokia in over 5 years when they decide to fold. Stupid. The 515 looks like something I want, a great phone that makes calls.

    I think that Powerpoint is good but the problem is that the gloss of Powerpoint can detract from what you are trying to say. I have seen a lot of presentations where people are really impressed by the speaker's Powerpoint presentation and are not listening to what is being said. You should learn to present and put the main points, your boardwork, on the presentation in a simple and plain form. Do not use too many different fonts or flashy graphics, they take the audience's attention away from you. They hide your message. If the audience wants to see a movie they have better options.

    If you want to create a stand alone presentation that does not have a speaker then Powerpoint is great but for normal presentation, learn to present.

    If you go outside of North America and Western Europe, the NSA have big wallets and a bribe is more likely to work. You may think that somewhere like Venezuela hates the US enough to allow a business like this but I guarantee that the average sys admin in Venezuela could be bought for a few hundred. I would opt for a European country with more a sensible legal system like Switzerland. It will take years for the NSA to get in and the fight would be public. I know that they got into the banks but we all knew about it long before they got there. There are still other option with more effective privacy options and zero corruption but outside of Europe you know they are easily bought.

  21. Re:Anyone should be able to fly on One Strike Against No Fly List; More Scrutiny To Come · · Score: 1

    Eerrr, I have never believed in what happens in movies but your video is not realistic. The plane is on the ground so even though they have increased the pressure there is not the same as the effect caused by the pressure differential and friction. At 30,000 feet the small hole can become a really big structure damaging hole before the plane can come down to the ground. Look at the final scene in your video and think about how long you would survive if that actually happened? You only have about 15 seconds to get your oxygen on before you become disorientated and unable to look after yourself. Their dummy would have died as would most of the people on that plane. In reality, if a shot goes through the window it is the safest place because the damage is less likely to spread as the aircraft continues to travel. If it goes through the body of the aircraft the damage will continue to spread and could destroy the structure of the aircraft. That said, planes can and do land with a lot of structural damage. I have seen the effect of a cargo door opening and although the damage was frightening, the plane landed safely. That does not mean that I would want to be on a plane when that happens.
    The real danger about guns on planes is that they kill people. It is the guns that are dangerous, not 'explosive decompression' or some other BS. Do not believe the idiots that say 'guns don't kill people', if that was true try pointing your finger at someone and shouting 'bang' really loudly and see if it has the same effect as pointing a gun at someone and pulling the trigger. If you join Al Qaida and want to take a plane, chose one with an air marshal on board because you want his gun. It is the best way to get a gun on a plane now, let the air marshal carry on. Start a fight, plastic knives etc. (you intend to die today anyway so who cares) and as soon as the air marshal discloses who he is your associates take him. Might sound far fetched but so was what happened in 2001...

    I am often returning the same day (one hour flights), I often travel without luggage and this is common enough (i.e. lots of business travellers return the same day) that it does not get any extra interest from security. I do not think that the security guy even knows if I have a return or one way ticket, I am just the next guy in the queue. I do not think they even know whether I have any checked in luggage. They just fondle me and give me the same shit as the next guy who may have booked 6 weeks in advance. The security is not security, it is just theatre. If someone wants to blow up a plane today, it is as easy as it was in the 80s. If a normal person wants to travel they have a lot more aggravation than they did 30 years ago.
