These are imperial drones looking for a rebel base. If you'd shoot them, we would have the entire Empire on our ass by now! Mmm wait a minute. Are you in America? Dude get outta there!!
Why destroy them when you can just give them away to people that need them?
Lots of people would use those USB flash drives! And they don't care a sht about it's current information.
For example these kids: http://www.epicchange.org/
More like: Using Peruvian tax dollars the government develops a cancer cure that a private Peruvian corporate sells for profit.
Then Peru states that US needs that vaccine and it also states that US can't get it from anyone but them, because of security reasons. Because it's highly volatile if handled improperly. No, they will not teach you how to handle it, they will sell you the final product.
Oh and it's not a one-shot vaccine, more like a for-the-rest-of-your-life treatment. You need to buy one per month to survive to the next month. And while its price is moderate half of the US population simply can't afford it every month so your tax dollars pay for them. And it will always be cheaper to build a laboratory in the US and have it produced locally, but that won't happen.
So, my point is, it's just business. Whether is moral or not, it doesn't matter. So I don't believe that ANY (read: not just US) government will spend time, effort and money trying to solve someone else's problem without seeking some retribution from it. They are developing a new business model for energy. And they are using US military superiority to leverage it while trying you to think they are doing it just because they are good people that care.
Have you noticed that it is the US that is planning the "solution" to a foreign problem? Did anyone ask for help in the first place? Or they are mandating it?
What if, say, Peru plans a solution to US health care problem and decides unilaterally to deploy that solution to the US?
Hi, my name is John and I work at one of Apple Retail Stores. Let me introduce you to iCemetery. Being in touch with your loved ones has never been easier! You can create a fresh account ooor, import your loved ones from another cemetery! While you make some popcorn we transport the body to our iCemetery storage facility located in an undisclosed country with cheap land and redundant internet connection.
You can customize the grave yourself or you can pick one of the 5 gorgeous, artist-made, templates!
You can buy flowers directly from iTunes that will be delivered automatically to the grave. Isn't that beautiful?
iCemetery syncs automatically with iPhoto to tag the pictures of your passed-away loved ones as 'in_heaven'.
You can also download the iCemetery widget from apple.com so you can peek at your most loved ones just by launching Dashboard!
My name is John and this was iCemetery. Thanks for watching!

See that man over there? The one with glasses which is pointing you with that strange device? Well, you should know he's rich, he's exactly your type, he's sensitive just to the level you want a man to be and in the showers everybody calls him "Everest". You know you want him.
There have been much improvements lately but it is still hard for end users. Ubuntu really tries not to be, but still.
Assuming you get past the installation point, there are a number of things that are not user friendly.
Applications have a horrible UI. Really, Linux has by far the worst looking apps. Users don't use bad-looking apps, regardless what that they do.
Users don't want to type commands in a terminal. By each command line you tell someone to do, God kills a new Linux user and makes a windows user instead.
WiFi with Samba are not easy to set up. Before you yell at me, I know YOU can, and I know users can't.
It has too many config options. Many config options clutter the screen and they end reading nothing.
Users don't care about squeezing every single processor cycle, the don't even know there is one, and they shouldn't know.
Users don't know what a hard drive is and don't need to know, so don't even ask about partitioning.
Probably the worst one: If something goes wrong, it doesn't degrade too gracefully. You'll probably have to type some lines in the terminal making God kill a dozen new Linux users until you fix it. Have you seen an iPod fail? It doesn't give you a mem dump, nor a blue screen. It displays a "sad iPod" icon and a URL to Apple's tech support. That's all the users need to know.
I'm curious. Who would be accountable for damages on my satellite if any piece of the exploding satellite hits mine? What if some big chunk of it falls on top of my car/house? Is there any legislation on this? Thanks

Offtopic I know.
I've read your sig text and I think it's a little biased. Believe what you want, it's your right of course.
By occupation, I, as well as many others, understand this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli-occupied_territories

Must be frustrating trying to innovate in the US right now.

Airport Security + Problem + New hyped product + SSD.
The only missing here is porn, but I'm sure that what's we all assume this guy had on his drive so no need to mention it.
A month ago, on a related note, The Guardian published a note about the world's 10 best bookshops. Worth looking at
He won't. He's blind, remember?
Inspired on the Gatling gun but with passengers (or planes, depending the implementation method) instead of bullets.

And let every device maker in China do the rest.
For movies, you just download from TPB or iTunes like you are probably currently doing, burn them into HD-DVDs and presto.
I'm curious.
Who would be accountable for damages on my satellite if any piece of the exploding satellite hits mine?
What if some big chunk of it falls on top of my car/house?
Is there any legislation on this?
Thanks

Never said I was smarter than anybody, chill out man.
Never stated that TrueCrypt does bad software, on the contrary, I'm sure they do a fine job.
My point is, as life in Jurassic park, users, ALWAYS find a way. Regarding information security, the weakest link usually tends to be the user.
That's all.
Hope your day gets better. Cheers.
Simpler uh? Expect more of the "Duh, I don't remember my password" problems, then.
Never underestimate stupid people, specially on large groups.
