The holocaust is the death of millions and a historical event denied by dimwitted right-winged fools like you. It is quite remarkable how dumb some people are!
Not only that most asteroids are significantly faster than a missile, so the trajectory of both needs to be spot on. Space lasers might be an option. Would be nice to see that there is finally a use for all the stuff Reagan wasted billions on.
Depends on which communication we are talking here. Their cell phones did not use any encryption and most of their communications were done person to person. In neither case encryption was used.
The conclusion of the security agencies is flawed anyway. Communication encryption is given as a reason for terrorism. I think pissing off plenty of people across the globe and propping up dictators like Assad are the core reasons why terrorism can flourish, plus the massive financial aid of individuals from befriended states such as Egypt and Saudi-Arabia.
We would not have this discussion if the various security organizations would have not massively and repeatedly abused their powers clearly ignoring the Constitution and many other laws. If these three letter agencies around the globe would be responsible actors in the sole interest of defeating terrorism we would look at this differently. Instead they excel at industrial espionage and making sure that they spew enough FUD so that gullible politicians keep funding them.
The problem are these prefab password reset questions and the logical answers people give. When asked for birth date put something in that is clearly NOT your birthday. Asked for favorite band enter your least favorite food. Although I bet there is a band called "capers".
Reagan caused double digit unemployment, was sipping whiskey while Able Archer was about to drop Europe into a nuclear war, he started with excessive military budgets that we still pay the debt for, and across the board killed off the middle class. Reagan was the biggest jackass ever. He was a good speaker, but that's about it.
Happens even by the traditionalists like Scalia who make out of a "well-regulated militia" every Dick and Jane. Individuals do not constitute a militia, but that is something the ultraright conservatives just do not want to understand. Instead they are fine with many more people getting shot each year than die from car accidents.
Republicans have effectively deadlocked the Congress for years and they see no problem with that. What meaningful legislation has come out of Congress the past years?
Back then both ends of the spectrum were more moderate, being a Senator was considered an honor rather than a means to get money and power, and nominees were selected based purely on merit. Reagan started putting candidates up that were ultraconservative in an attempt to push his political views into the judicial process. Some in the Senate objected to that quite strongly. Nice try to blame the Democrats for what Reagan screwed up.
While you may state facts here, the main reason for high crime and low academic achievement is that those areas are also no future areas. There are only a few who care about the urban youth these days. If nothing that you do as a young person will matter in the end then where is the incentive to do anything decent with your life? If the biggest struggle is to get food on the table and have a place to live then school grades are secondary. The reason is not because these people are black, it is because they have zero chance of gaining anything no matter how hard they work for it. There are just too many who see them as gang members, criminals, or notorious underachievers.
I still have enough faith in the Americans to not elect a christian terrorist like Cruz. They rather go for a party clown like Trump as had happened before with Reagan, the worst president so far (double digit unemployment, almost started a nuclear war, reagonomics for which we pay the bills to this day, moronic supreme court nominations....).
And so far all these teabaggers have done is hate everything, say no to everything (including their own proposals), and accomplish absolutely nothing of what they said they would do. All they did so far is keep seats warm in congress and waste tax payers' money.
And this is the worst that any Senator could have said. That is a total disqualification of being a Senator and utter disrespect towards the current President.
And why does something that people thought 200 years ago matter today? These constitutional traditionalist totally ignore that things have changed in the past centuries.
The Republicans did not wait. They already jockeying for position and basically tell the current President that he has no right to nominate a replacement. This is the pot calling the kettle black.
Honest and factual debates, yes, but judges like Scalia who believe in the devil and strict traditional Catholicism have no business in pushing their pseudoreligious doctrine through in any court. But what else to expect from a Reagan appointee, this is what the worst president ever did to the country.
This what I expect, typical Republican posing. They even take a judge's death to score political gain.
The only way to fix this mess is term limits...and those ought to apply to supreme court judges as well who should be voted into office by the public. There are way too many religious extremists in the SCOTUS for decades ruining the US. Congress is toothless, the real decisions are made in the Supreme Court and people are not even allowed to vote. What kind of democracy is this?
QA is always an afterthought in most organizations...if it is a though at all. Look around and you will see plenty of mediocre apps. Yet users are apparently fine with that and rather see more half baked features crammed into apps than having the existing features work right.
Mozilla has QA? So how come they still have the massive memory leaks and totally dysfunctional UI in place? Either the QA team consists only of a coat hanger or of a bunch of frustrated QA analysts who report all the flaws that the developers reject to fix because the way it works is how the devs like it and dare nobody say it is not right.
That all depends on the content for the iterations. I'm more worried about the boneheaded management moves that during the past years put Mozilla and Firefox way behind. They need to go back to building something that people actually want to use. Maybe a bit harsh, but they should throw away everything they did after FF 4.0 came out and start over after firing the egocentric dev leads.
What bugs me most is that they solely feed the egos of their developers and at the same time whine because people stop giving them funding. I wonder how long it will take Mozilla to connect the dots.
In the past ten years more people were shot in the US than in the Korean, Vietnam, and Iraq wars combined. Each year more people in the US die through guns than in vehicle accidents. Is there really a need to 3D print more guns and post articles about it?
I'm on/. for quite a while now and despite several attempts to figure out what the heck I should do with my moderator points and how to impact the score of comments....I came up empty. Maybe I am just too dumb for this. In any case, it will be nice to be able to flag some comments for removal because they are useless or nothing else than personal attacks. They are zero value to any discussion. If people are angry get a sand bag and punch it.

Will this work on phones that are already bricked?
Yep...best movie ever!

This is why the judges should be determined by public vote and stay in office no longer than eight years.
The Republicans did not wait. They already jockeying for position and basically tell the current President that he has no right to nominate a replacement. This is the pot calling the kettle black.
That is the problem with the two party system. Other democracies have more options than with us or against us.
