the death of the Spectrum for me was the Psion Series 3. Still got mine, same one I bought in 1991 just before I started college. Did all my WP on that.
did cameras save Lee Rigby? NO. did cameras save 52 London commuters on the 7 July 2005? NO. did cameras prevent Jamie Bulger from being buggered and decapitated and left on a railway track? NO. did cameras save Ian Tomlinson? NO. did cameras prevent Dunblane? NO.
it was a bird collision that for one reason or another, grounded an aircraft by being the direct cause of catastrophic engine damage.
I think the point of this thread is, if a soft and fleshy bird with hollow bones can do that to an engine in the time it takes to inhale, what about something built of carbon fibre composite (which splinters beautifully and burns extremely toxically), a smidge of a highly reactive element in an equally unstable substrate (lithium polymer batteries are fine as long as they're not damaged, and if you want to see one explode just poke a Polaroid pack with a screwdriver and stand clear), and between two and four pairs of rare-earth magnets (motors are packed with magnets, yanno)? Consider that the RB211 and the Trent engines are built by Rolls Royce to the same tolerances (primary turbine blades ride 0.4mm away from the rim of the cowling).
I would rather trust the CAA's own reporting and videos on Youtube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?... ) showing bird strikes and what one (that's 1!) goose can do to a £230,000 engine. Three strikes a year which result in emergency landings, and that's just in UK airspace. Sometimes strikes aren't through engines, but through cockpit windows.
That is a risk.
Drones? That's just fucking lunacy. I'd go so far as to call it malicious intent.
Apart from the fact that WTC1 and 2 were both designed to withstand the impact of an aircraft (albeit one not laden with fuel)? Way to mitigate the risk that, according to you, didn't exist!
Shouldn't this be a problem for a fifth grade economics class?
When the cost of external support for n machines exceeds the cost of an in-house IT contractor, then it's time to shop around for a contractor. It's really that fucking simple!
Hood wasn't destroyed by a single shell, it was destroyed by several shells penetrating the deck and two just happened to penetrate deep enough to ignite the magazines - both of them - causing the entire ship to explode out of the water.
no, it's a legitimate honeypot to weed out the cunts in MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Important distinction here, folks, he has military clearance and access to documents pertaining to national security, he is thus subject to the UCMJ NOT civilian jurisdiction! I could be wrong and I stand to be corrected by a JAG or a serving US AFP who has security clearance, but I don't think entrapment appears in the UCMJ as a defence.
if he has been issued special clearance for military intelligence, then he is subject to the uniform code of military justice, not the US civil code. Hence, he will NOT get a jury, he will NOT see a civilian judge, and the only lawyer he will see will be attached to the JAG. He be fucked.
it is not entrapment because he is not subject to civilian jurisdiction. He is subject to the UCMJ, which means they can pull every trick out of their arses to trip people up, leaving the smart-enough-not-to-fall-for-that-bullshit-but-not-too-smart-that-they-challenge-dubious-orders in place. Yes, he is fucked because he will NOT get a jury. He will get a military tribunal with a JAG lawyer representing his legal position (which is basically selecting his last meal from the set menu).
because vetting begins and ends with a work history and criminal record check then a polygraph (and we know how completely infallible they are. Right?).
well, OK, how about London's 33 boroughs* controlling 7,000** cameras between them? Or the 500,000-800,000** privately owned/run CCTV cameras (not systems, individual cameras) operating in the same area? The 11,000** cameras operating on the Tube network?

keep 'em down for three days and we'll have fixed the deficit AND paid the debt! EVERYBODY WINS!

I had one of those, and a port replicator built from a kit because I NEEDED the joystick controller as well.

ooh, pretty. That subpixel RG-B-GR setup looks fast.
and LCD pixel is made of of three coloured square panels. A CRT phosphor is made up of three coloured round dots.
"Abdul!"
"What, Samir?"
"We cannot do this thing."
"Why not?"
"Camera."
"Shit. Let us go home and reconsider our lives."
Yep. Totally see how that works.
really??
This one was hobbled by a single bird: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

have a scan around FB and see just how much private information is plastered all over it for just any social hacker to mine. It's unreal.

pfft, it's only six foot across, who the fuck's good enough to hit that?
I mean, what?

opt in? I didn't opt in for filtering yet I find thepiratebay.se is blocked.
Who do I talk to to resolve this bullshit?

I fucking live here, twat.
Right now it's a case of finding an Embassy with the balls to stand up to the UK Government.
It's like herding cats...
