As for other other high end U-Locks, I've seen even really expensive Abus U-locks cropped. They take a LOT longer and a lot of force. But I've SEEN them cropped.
And, when all else fails, there's the angle grinder.
So much for my "foggiest clue".
And I see why you posted AC. Not enough spine to post as yourself when you're being a little prick eh?
Again, the thing is, crashing a window, or breaking down a door is loud and obvious and attracts a lot of attention. That's the LAST thing a prospective sneak-thief wants.
Wow that is so cool. But most doors on residences are not build to security specifications. If these locks become common and cheap the crooks will simply attack the door itself with, say a crowbar.
Yes, but attacking the door itself is obvious, and NOISY.
Something like a bump key attack is nearly silent.
In terms of locking something like a bicycle, you do this through intelligent placement of the thing you don't wish stolen, intelligent placement of chains (not cables), intelligent placement of locks, and use of multiple locking mechanisms. All of these cost an attacker time. And if you cost them TOO much time, they're likely to move on to easier pickings.
Sure, a SMALL set (24") bolt croppers might ward off. But the large bolt croppers bring a lot (and I mean a LOT) more force to the equation. They can clip through even shielded shackles where the case AND shackle are hardened steel or boron carbide.
Most locks simply don't have a large (thick) enough shackle to prevent this kind of cropping. Even ultra-high-end D-locks can be cropped in this manner.
Also, cracking a lock tumbler with a screwdriver USED to work well. Now, a majority of decent locks have the actual lock mechanism itself shielded so simply knifing it open with a screwdriver and hammer doesn't work, as you crush the lock assembly in a locked configuration.
Nah. Chrome won a while ago. Because terminally over-sensitive panty-waists that are now all that's left of Mozilla are done innovating their own browser. Now they're going to slob, incessantly, on the Google knob, until their product may as well be called Chromezilla.
I know, lots of people don't like what Snowden did. And they disagree with the view that, even though he was exposing wrongdoing by our government AGAINST ALLIES AND CITIZENS, he "hurt" America by laying bare intel assets and methodologies.
Okay. I can live with that. I think it's narrow-minded and stupid myself. But I can live with people thinking that.
But trying to lay blame at Snowden's door for the Paris attacks?
Gimme a fucking break. That's just being an asshole and mouthing a party line designed to further destroy the rights and privileges of the US citizen, allowing intel agencies carte blanche for whatever means and methods they wish to use, on whoever they wish to use it on. Regardless of the legality or morality.
What? It makes our citizens LESS safe and more likely to get ripped off? FUCK THEM! As long as we're getting our sheckel, hookers, blow, and a big check for no actual work, we don't give a fuck!
It can take weeks, months, or even years to get content in a game to a working, playable state. Not just the basic storyline, but game mechanics, programming, art assets, etc.
And players, especially the most rabid ones, will chew through it all in a couple days.
And, as games get more complex (visually), less and less time gets budgeted to the actual content development.

What about that?
If you can kill, or at least scale back the pain that active, epic levels of idiocy cause me, I'd wholly fund the thing tomorrow.
Live long and prosper!

Gangster Planet.
Amerind planet.
Hippie World...oh wait, most of them died. THANK GOD!
It's a terror weapon. And it mainly depends on traveling at light speed to render it immune from counter attack.
Disk lock huh?

How about just melting one open?

As for the NY locks. Why crop the lock when the chain is smaller and more vulnerable?

Lemme guess, you're one of those poor, deluded fucks that runs around with one of those magnetic bracelets on and thinks its helping you...
Basically, it's when someone erroneously believes that wifi signals are dangerous and they freak out about it. Like this woman.

Uh. Watch the Lockman28 video again.
He clamps it into a vise and tries to break the key.
About all he does is hurt his hand.
This a new lock:

Yep. Specialized tools.
1: Needle nose pliers
2: Hammer
3: Bolt

This isn't about "breaking off the lock".
This is about tapping the lock several times to cause the locking bar to release. Leaving an undamaged lock.
The huge "upside" to this method. You require no specialized tools and no real skill with said tools.
Basically ANYONE can perform this attack.
Thing is, there's a readily available tool for picking disk locks nowadays.
A set of shims would be nice, quiet, cheap AND fast.
Actually the lock companies are learning though. Most of the decent companies, and even some of the Master Lock lines are essentially shim-proof now.
Agreed. All you can do is slow an attacker down.

Bull.

Too late. They're already on the path to Chromezilla and leg-shackling themselves to Google's tools instead of innovating their own.
So it doesn't really surprise me that these talentless schmucks would try to basically orphan Thunderbird.
Guessing these will be banned from government facilities too...
Lifelock is essentially worthless.
They are a "monitoring" service.
So what they do is go "Woo! Someone just got hold of this person's info and might be misusing it! Isn't that interesting?"
They're a fucking confidence scam.
It's like a cold war between Firefox and Chrome
Nah. Chrome won a while ago. Because terminally over-sensitive panty-waists that are now all that's left of Mozilla are done innovating their own browser. Now they're going to slob, incessantly, on the Google knob, until their product may as well be called Chromezilla.

Chicago is the "Fuck you! Give us our money!" capital of Illinois, the "Fuck you! Give us our money!" state.
Contrary to popular belief, organized crime in Chicago wasn't stamped out in the 20's and 30's.
Nope. All the crooks went into local government because there were more (and more lucrative) opportunities to steal, legally.
Oh, and hand them to use on a silver plate.
And pay us 7 digits a year.
And we want a pony too!
What? It makes our citizens LESS safe and more likely to get ripped off?
FUCK THEM! As long as we're getting our sheckel, hookers, blow, and a big check for no actual work, we don't give a fuck!
Okay, not saying the divide is THIS big.
But how many maps could you turn out if you were held to this quality standard?
X7 Carena: Quake 2

Now look at the size and visual complexity of Battlefront maps.
Building more than barebones maps takes a while.
It can take weeks, months, or even years to get content in a game to a working, playable state. Not just the basic storyline, but game mechanics, programming, art assets, etc.
