"Generating very low frequency radio waves by modulated heating of the auroral electrojet, useful because generating VLF waves ordinarily requires gigantic antennas"
In other words, they can broadcast at very low frequency using this thing. Guess where those go? Under water. It's just another way (probably better) to do ELF broadcasts to send commands to subs. A towed array could act as an antenna and pick up coded messages.
The Russians are just pissed we still HAVE subs to talk to. They are losing theirs left and right, and won't have a sub force to speak of in a few years.
Huh? Only a philosophical weakling would bring that up at this point.
Yes, there is a little bit of hand-waving in ethics as far as the metaphysical question of where rights come from, however, if you undermine it you'll find that pretty much every system and scope pre-supposes it, if you take it away in all forms, you have anarchy.
Unless you shot the person in front of you in line in the back of the head this morning, because they were there, you aren't the type of anarchist that actually believes that, and thus, are a liar and a hypocrite by asserting there is no underlying rights.
Rights are obvious, because when they are not there, the model predicts the rest of the "stuff" isn't either.
The backlash of countering an act of war? Do you realize that closing the Strait of Hormuz would be an act of war on like 45 countries? Blockading the food and goods supply of countries is an act of war. The world doesn't give a shit about Iran's internal struggles and will get horribly pissed at them, and they'd be cheering the US and Israel the whole time. Just you dumb Eurotrash liberal droolers would get pissed, go ahead, have another sit in protest in a park ya whanker. Every country in the world, has a right, to send ships through Hormuz without interference by Iran.
While all this is true, the interpretation of the events you are getting out of it is misleading.
The guy did the equivalent of the "zerg rush". Essentially, by skirting way up against the "rules envelope" he exploited a spike in effectiveness. It was not realistic, because Iran building a bunch of boats like that is sure to pop up on intelligence somewhere, if they even HAVE that many boats. It's not like they can go down to Haji's Marine and order 160 Yamaha outboard motors at a moment's notice. Plus, there's a whole other monkey barrel of complications and details they'd have to overcome. Like, so you need a missile, but now you need more electrical power on that little 21 foot boat, and it makes it top heavy, and , and, and.... If anything, they'd end up destroying half their missile effectiveness because they lose the fucking things off the end of the dock. What Iran DOES have, is a weak attempt at a modern navy with the same sorts of procurement problems (they buy used Russian, North Korean, and Chinese stuff and refit the hulls, just now, they are finally getting around to learning how to build sub hulls).
The game was re-started because, yes, there is a power spike there at one end of the envelope, but that's not what the game is about and since it's not a free-form unsupervised game between 14 year-olds on the internet, but rather done to actually learn something useful. So the game was re-done to fit the context of the information they were after. Yes, ha-ha clever neato nerd beat the big guys. Now that is old news, guess what, the big guys got answers for your dumb little boat scenario now. Come up with something new.
YOU should go re-read the events, and then go read a bunch more about the overall security and war-making capabilities of the two countries, and realize there's very little Iran can do that we won't see first. (Remember the recent drone incidents?)
Of course, the same folks that say sugar, a compound that contains loads of energy to the point that it BURNS WELL has no goddamn effect on metabolism and neurological function are the SAME SET OF PEOPLE that claim dyes, minuscule parts per billion or trillion pesticide residue, having been irradiated with high energy photons or electrons, etc. etc. are all dangerous.
Fucking pseudo-scientific lies. Go fix your body thetans or something.
You have a-symptomatic celiac disease. If you don't go on a wheat free diet, you can look forward to higher risk of pancreatic and gut cancers, as well as various types of mal-nutrition and mental imbalance. Seriously, get tested. In Canada, it's an over the counter enzyme test. It can save your life.
Bah. The "take this wrench and beat him" scenario is trumped by the "loaded 9 MM in the pocket" scenario.
Anybody applying what is arguably a funny cartoon to real life is stupid. Anybody worth beating for the data they have is going to know it, and the pigs that come to get them are gonna git kilt. If the data isn't worth it, the pigs aren't gonna risk the backlash and "thrown out of court" problems to nab a petty criminal. Not to mention the 'kilt' part.
You should try Jenkem. It's easy to make in your own basement and though the cops and moms of the world are aware of it, they are powerless to stop it.
In my experience, as an intermediate level guy that has occasionally run post-mortems to find out who got into what, most of the time the hackers are after the usual shit. Places to store pirated software, bragging rights, and plain old crime.
Sure, they do brag when they tear up servers. But what they go after, and who connects to what first, it's always some crime ring in Eastern Europe.
"Vigilante" is what they are when they don't find anything useful. Otherwise it's credit card numbers and theft from bank accounts, identity theft and other types of fraud, or even simple stuff like porn stashes.
Those drooling retards hanging out in parks thinking they are going to get something done are just the smokescreen du jour for the guys committing crimes.
What causes fatigue on the magazine spring is tensioning and untensioning the spring. If it's not in motion, it's not wearing. Magazines will need to be replaced over time due to normal metal corrosion, but that's over a different time scale than "loaded with.223 for two years."
Asteroid/Comet imminent highly probable hit Earth or Moon

A national warning system isn't USELESS, it's just addressing low-probability events and filling gaps that may be covered by other more localized means. Saying it won't work perfectly is different than saying it won't work at all. You should learn the difference.
The thing is, if it isn't in place we definitely can't use it. If it is in place, it may turn out to be quite useful in ways that weren't imagined.
If the things took "more energy to make than the energy they produce" they would never turn a profit.
Clearly, since some of them DO turn a profit after a number of years the "take more energy" thing is false. The specifics of how are irrelevant.
How much energy they use is irrelevant as well, it's how much the person using it pays that counts. Very very little "green" things happen successfully until the money side is straightened out. Electric cars have been around for almost a century in one form or another, but just now are becoming useful economically.
Stop listening to the rapist Glenn Beck and his ilk. It's making you dumb. The same lie was said about hybrid vehicles.
Rather than wasting my time refuting this drooler. I'll simply point out to any readers the links in the sig of the "person" above are about how great Ron Paul is.
Household food culture (what they eat at home) has a lot to do with it. I am going to bet, that infants are not in fact obese, it's the toddlers that are past the point of being able to grab a cheerio and cram it in their mouth. That's when what the parents are eating kicks in and they are eating the high-fat high-calorie foods, sucking down 3 quarts of apple juice a day, etc. Kid activity is probably a big impact but doesn't occur until the kid is trying to get around on it's own.
If there is an effect on actual _babies_ A fat chick breastfeeding can dump out higher fat content than a skinny one. Women gain weight during pregnancy in preparation for that. That, and what is in formulas matters. Though, last I heard formula-fed infants actually gained less weight than breastfed ones did.
Spamhaus does not have any credibility anymore. They have been doing this shit for years. Back when similar operating lists were new, they were decent. Now they are not. They were removed from my mail filtering systems years ago because I got tired of the lying bullshit they pulled.
Yup, pretty much. Spamhaus is simply a service that admins may use for advice on what to block.
It's up to the admins to agree with what they do and not use them if they get out of line.
That said, any admin that does use Spamhaus is a complete idiot. But, it's quite within their rights to be a complete idiot about administering their own mail servers.
While there are privacy concerns with revealing test scores. You SHOULD BE embarrassed about poor test scores. That's part of the entire problem the test scores are trying to fix!
Identity Theft is persistent, long lasting, and can't be cleared up with a few cards. It's loans, houses, car loans, credit carts, DUI arrests, etc.
I used to work with a guy that had some illegal mexican (the co-worker was sorta "Spanish" looking so they even looked a bit alike) in Oregon rotating through several identities. Every several years, he'd get hit again, and the same stupid organizations would extend credit to the same illegal and then go after my co-worker for the unpaid debt. Eventually the guy stopped, but it wasn't because he got caught. This was back before some of the new credit reporting laws were changed, but it certainly wasn't "all that bad" and prevented all sorts of stuff like, getting a new job, buying a house, getting an apartment. I think he eventually had direct deposit into his girlfriend's account (later married) to keep a hold of the money before it got grabbed again.
It was really sad. He ended up hating all mexicans and would curse at them at random on the street.
The power curve, size, and weight seem pretty much ideal for the next generation of hybrid cars. You could even just run two generators, one off each drive shaft and leave out the complex crank case to merge the power. Hybrids are all DC power so there's no wave form syncing needed, and now you have a redundant generator.
The reason it didn't work for "Detroit" is more related to "Detroit" than the method.
Those guys have been idiots for a long time. For example, my dad has a friend who was an engineer for one of the weights and measures outsourcers. He had a story about how he met with the three or four other guys who sold that type of stuff to one of the big three (Chrysler I think) and they had never purchased checking tools beyond the first ones. The ones made in 1930 or so. In other words, they had the "inch standard" in the vault, carefully kept, from 1930. Which, of course, was not exactly an inch anymore. They used that, to then calibrate all the rest of their stuff. Naturally the machining quality degraded.
Ford, on the other hand, had other problems and was buying the new standards so their stuff wasn't off calibrated.
The assumption that if it didn't work for Detroit, the idea is a bad one is absolutely false.
Fundamentally, you are correct. But, I sense you are not an IT guy.
When a User says "I didn't do anything" they actually mean; "I clicked on a bunch of stuff without thinking"
The problem is, browsers shouldn't let people load stuff into temp cache and then install whatever it is without visiting the "My Downloads" or "Desktop" folders first. That would stop a lot of this scareware stuff that pops up look-alike windows to get people to click on and download things. The ones that are that stupid or inexperienced would have to go through the "manage files on my computer" loop that would make their state (stupid, or ignorant) work FOR them for once.
So your point is irrelevant. For the most part those drive by scripting holes are gone. IF this weren't the case, my computers would be infected, and the blonde ditz at the front desk wouldn't be the only one infecting her computer all the time. It would be mine, from looking for recreational stuff or even HTML samples or whatever legit actual work I am doing.
