the Republican Clown Cars or recent elections and are working hard to eliminate non-serious candidates who have zero chance.
I wonder how President Lessig would react to a terrorist attack in the US? How would he cope with Russia, China, and the Middle East in general? What were his plans for spending and funding? Did he even give any thought to that?
Did he ever consider that he might be faced with responding to a nuclear attack, and the standard US response to such a thing?
Nope. The best orbiting telescopes have a ground resolution in low earth orbit of about 5 cm. That's looking straight down in early morning when the atmosphere is least disturbed. Reading a license plate would require higher resolution and looking through much more atmosphere.
When United does include this code in correspondence, all but the last three characters are replaced with asterisks. The same is true with Unitedâ(TM)s boarding passes. However, the full Mileage Plus number is available if you take the time to decode the barcode on a boarding pass.
Story time: A few years ago I was working on a web app for a US intel/LEO agency in northern virginia. The app had started as a demo, then kind of grew. Like a fungus. It was never really designed, much less designed to shut down and restart unexpectedly. There were some other similarly "designed" apps running in the data center.
The data center, being under the flight path for an airport, had a continuity of operations ("coop") plan and hardware. The "UPS" was a big generator with a switch so that it would take over when mains power went down. There was also a system designed to handle hot mirroring of everything and switch all network traffic to the backup center if the main center went down.
A great system which was never tested because what if the test takes the system down for 15 minutes and we thus miss the opportunity to prevent the Next 9/11 and Thousands Die and, worse yet, we have to testify in front of Congress?
So one day the fire marshall came through the building and, as part of his testing, hit the Big Red Switch. The switch designed to detect this and start the generators (and which was reported to cost $15) failed. All the systems went down, hard. The network switch in place to notify the hot backup site and send all the traffic there also failed. And the Vital Systems Protecting Our Nation From the Next 9/11 went down, worldwide.
Don't just have a plan, test it.
p.s. We never were able to determine how much, if any, data was lost....
A floppy, a CD, and a couple manuals. 0.9 kernel and fvwm as the X window manager. Found it for, I think, $25 at a Software Etc in the Red Cliffs Mall in St George UT. Since OS2 was a couple hundred and I was looking for an alternative to Windows 3.11 I picked it up.
I remember a Comdex in the late 90's when Linux was going corporate and every company seemed to be basing their distros off of Red Hat and SuSe and I asked an engineer why they didn't use Debian. The reply was "The problems with Debian are Deb and Ian".
going to pass a law making it illegal for the French Intelligence services to blow up ships in New Zealand ports? Or is murder more acceptable to the French than spying?

"provide jobs"
What jobs? Oh, and they're setting up outside the town limits, so the town doesn't get any tax money, either.

"The MonoRover's power adapter is legitimately scary."
I've seen that sort of operator overloading. For some reason it made sense at the time, though I can't remember why.
Linux, and Linus, have been on the front page of The Washington Post.

We won.

If we can get a little more hatred of the blacks and hispanics we can become a full-blown subsidiary of Stormfront!

This bug has been known for a year or so. Possibly more.
And if you can launch a satellite into geostationary, you can launch a MIRV'd ICBM against any really large country that might threaten you.
Since that hasn't happened yet, it's a moot point.

A statute of limitations is there so you don't spend more of your life in hiding and being paranoid than you would have spent in jail.

There is the Second Amendment, and lots of guns.
The Republicans may not realize that, but...
