    You honestly think boeing gave them the money?

    This is how you think that works?
    You don't think boeing might not notice the return of the old units when they ship the new ones to the airline? You think inspectors would not notice?

    I merely meant that one worker with a smoke bomb now knows he can shut down LHR whenever he thinks it would benefit him or those he allies himself with.

    I disagree.
    In fact your claim of bad thinking is not backed by data. Please show some citation if you think it is.

    A data-driven politician would do things like support handing out clean needles to junkies, since that will be far cheaper than dealing with the infections in the ER. I like answers like that, but they do not sit well with the American voting public, who like morality plays over reality.

    If that is the argument you want to make fine.

    I think it a bit more likely the reason god is not doing any of these things is because he simply does not exist.

    What are the odds they are related?

    Also boeing paid for those fixes, so cheap airline or not they would be done.

    I think he means the airport.

    If a single fire means they can't do landings and takeoffs that seems like a poor design. It sounds like an easy thing for trouble makers to exploit

    Personally I think the best case would be the code is uploaded not any binaries. That way the store can make binaries as needed for new architectures.

    I don't think the issue here is right wing vs left wing, it is that he accepts myths over observable fact. I don't think magical thinking is a political thing.

    It is a sad fact that a significant number of Americans share that view. I still would not call that mainstream, unless you are in the bible belt.

    Absolutely, but they are going to limit the scope of the threat. Security in layers and all that.

    If that is the only way to get the performance you need, it is the right way.

    Using the NDK is not wrong, it is just an option. The play store should really demand x86 and ARM executable for all apps.

    Not if you use the NDK, which most games and video applications will use for performance reasons.

    You can of course compile for both.

    Android supports compiling for x86.
    So not all of those are ARM exclusive.

    You can't sell a product not fit for purpose. Personal responsibility would have been McDonalds covering all her bills and giving her a nice settlement with no lawsuit. Instead McDonalds wanted someone else to cover their debts.

    I was thinking cheap vehicle killer.

    To shoot a car full of terrorists you don't need maneuverability, you don't need to be small. This stuff should be iterative, that would be far cheaper.

    That makes sense.

    Perhaps the better answer then is to go get those glorious 30mm cannons and build a drone around them. These days though a smaller cannon could be used since we don't need to bust up Soviet vehicles.

    I just think a drone with cannons would be cheaper than spending millions on a missile to take out a couple guys in a car.

    I am not sure anyone could argue that point. Marx was one of the best critics of capitalism ever, but his guesses at the future completely ignore all of human history.

    I wonder what the cost would have been to retrofit a current plane.

    Heck, I always think an A-10 with drone brains would be super cool. Much cheaper per bang than using missiles too.

    If you are trying to suggest someone is qualified, mentioning an MBA is a bad move. Point d is more a comment on the stupidity of americans though.

    The rest I agree with.

    I think the typical belief is republican voters are stupid, no their candidates. I am not sure how true it is, but the folks at the tea party gatherings did not do much to change that image. Those folks and the religious nuts the Barry Goldwater warned of are what likely cause this perception.

    Republicans sure seem to hate him now but that man was basically a fortune teller as far as the party was concerned.

    Why would just anyone have access to this machine via SSH?

    Have you not heard of firewalls? Whatever connects to this NAS just needs CFS/NFS access on the regular network. SAN type protocols would be VLANed off and SSH would be limited to the administrative machines at the very least. This all assumes people did their jobs correctly.
