Being a former ELINT drone of many years I'd like to point out one aspect where you are quite wrong Lumpy - the C&C uplinks for near on every bird launched in the last 15 years are encrypted and use quite a few layers of security beyond that to authenticate command and control codes, particularly so for those owned and operated by the US. Not only that but pretty much all of them use entirely different line codes (for want of a better term) so it's not like there is a published standard methodology one can follow to 'own' one.
A little bit of education on the subject would certainly reveal that you can indeed beam a signal out to the Clark belt using cheap off the shelf kit these days, but there is no way in hell the average individual is going to pull this off without some serious know how and a lot of leg work to intercept and analyze the uplink.
I think you are confused between C&C and simply relaying a signal across a transponder, the latter having no security at all in just about every instance, the former being secure as hell in the majority.
Not at all. The effect jamming has on GPS is already well established and can be reliably reproduced in a lab/classroom environment - the receivers mostly just cease to work. Also nothing screams "I am exactly right here" quite like a jammer does, any half decent rack of ELINT gear will locate it within a very short space of time.
Since we're on the subject of shells, up until earlier this year with bash I could use environmental variables to navigate my way around; for example, ls $HOME/<tab> would show me a listing of everything in my home directory, now when you hit the tab it escapes the $ so you end up with \$HOME/ and the expected functionality that has been present for well over a decade no longer works - try searching for that little problem:-)
Search engines can be a pain in the backside just as much as video.
Not to denigrate the pilot or even you, but you are incorrect and just making stuff up. The images in this link show that the pilot was not visible in the cockpit so he couldn't have seen the crowd at all. http://framework.latimes.com/2011/09/17/reno-air-races-crash/
Although I didn't see anything about ejecting in the link you posted, I thought they had to bail out from these aircraft manually?
In the upper image it looks like the pilots helmet very far forward in the cockpit. Not visible at all in the second image as pointed out in the text. If the pilot was incapacitated due to heart attack or some other health condition, the aircraft would have nosed down rather than pulling up in to a kind of barrel roll. Mechanical for sure.
Although youtube seem to be deleting accounts that post the video, it is still available on sites like liveleak.com (formerly ogrish, but very toned down these days) so if it was the somewhat raw and uncensored version of life that you prefer, then it wont be going anywhere.
I think you're being a little bit disingenuous here.
I'm not sure what kind of GPS application the iPhone or Android have by default, but every Nokia product I've owned since the N95 (and plenty of Garmin / Magellen units over the years) minimally have major cities and often major roads included by default. On the N900 I have about 9 different mapping applications installed, all of these can be used without cellular or wifi because they all have the ability to use maps that are stored on the file system. I'm pretty sure both the iPhone and Android would have this capability as well, either natively or via 3rd party program.
While you might set out on a journey haphazardly picking up your maps on the go, some of us actually make preparations in advance.
You should actually read the links you post, there is no 'instantly' obtained answer, in this case the answers fit the point you are trying to make, but the first link you posted has some very rational and sound commentary that disagrees with your premise about warming on other planets - the jury is still out given the source arguments themselves actually say the weather on other planets is not well enough understood to know how much of an effect the sun has as opposed to internal warming and a myriad of other factors. After 22 paragraphs of that Feynman link I don't have the first clue how that relates to anything at all. For sure we need to be mindful of dissenting views - sometimes, but metaphysics and UFO's? Seriously.
Don't mod me down, just tell me why I am wrong to conclude this - I'd rather have an open mind and make my part of the world a little cleaner than to take a side when there just isn't enough data to conclude sides should probably even exist yet.
There are a handful of different HUD modes, the one the harrier is using has been bouncing around like that for a few years now, so I guess it's an issue within flightgear itself rather than the flight model, OSG, or what have you. It only tends to happen when you are yawing around at a fairly low airspeed. It's particularly annoying in the helicopters at times.
I think you might be right, I've been hitting reload here several times a day pretty much since 1997 when permission was granted to mirror a few stories within a secret 3 letter agency I worked at. I never knew Mr Taco personally, but slashdot will not be the same for me without his presence. I don't really know where else to go, though hopefully whatever his next project is, I can get in early and snag myself a decent UID.
What exactly does "This." mean? (It seems redundant)
I moved to Asia about 10 years ago, over here there is a huge demand for foreigners - many of us are jumping from company to company picking up the pieces from failed outsourcing ventures, often at higher pay scales than the people that were laid off in the first place.
I don't disagree with you by the way, just that 'skilled' labour is required no matter where you set up shop. Eventually companies will realise that outsourcing is not always cheaper, presuming you want to maintain the same level of quality anyway - though I guess for some near enough really is good enough.
I'm not so sure that any search engine provides quite what you actually want these days - it used to be that you could +/-"quote your search" and only get pages that had (or didn't have) that specific quote in the body. Google and Bing seem to ignore this on a random basis and give you only what is popular rather than what you actually searched for. I guess the advanced search overcomes these issues a little bit, though you still have issues like "convert x to y" and all you get are pages on how to convert y to x.
For the most part search engines are infinitely better than they were 10 years ago though:-)
I suspect my point is that I'm probably just a sheepish user now, searching can be quite troublesome so I don't really care what logo sits in the banner.
TWM - check. Applixware - check. FrameMaker - check. ImageMagick - check. Mosaic - check. Since all of this is only compatible with my nostalgic memories of yore, I haven't been able to communicate my ever soaring levels of inferiority to everyone that doesn't want to listen, thus your stereotype is jaded by noise rather than signal:-) I also use Microsoft stuff from time to time too. (I don't actually know what a hipster is, new or old - though I guess I could check aliweb)
The N900 'just works' straight out of the box for a huge number of sys-admin tasks. apt-get for everything else. I've used mine constantly at work for a year and a half, is that too short to qualify as a solid platform for 'any length of time'? I telecommute so 'at work' is wherever I feel like. The iPad is in some ways just as capable (if you jailbreak it), but it is not quite as convenient given you can't just stick it in your pocket and go - understanding everyone has a different definition of convenient, your proposition for the best solution would generally be better if it was worded merely as a 'suggestion' instead.
I hope this doesn't sound too negative, roundcube is pretty good, but I've found it to be somewhat troublesome if you're running it over SSH - accessing it across a slow network, or any network with latency issues (wifi / 3g etc) tends to bog apache down to the point where it (apache) can require a restart. CPU load is pretty high when this happens too. The ajax thing isn't so good for trigger happy mouse clickers either - it often just stops responding, the only thing that gets it running again is a page reload.
For sure it looks a whole bunch nicer than squirrelmail, but it doesn't have nearly as many features - also configuring plugins for roundcube can be an exercise in frustration at times, not a whole lot of documentation - the forum while very helpful, tends to assume you know a great deal about the underlying mail server as well as systems administration in general.
Although I get your literal point good sir, I would like to think there is a big chunk of interesting science to be found in simply figuring out if a thing can be seen, measured, felt, etc. If different universes can interact with each other, I guess the mechanism of that interaction would give rise to an appropriate naming convention.
Electromagnetic radiation. 200 to 300 years ago this could fairly safely be said not to have existed. If only I could live for a few thousand more years...
How often do we get mugged walking down the street? It can happen, but it's so exceedingly rare that it never happens to most of us. This is not even a remotely new concept - there are tons of travel forums where people offer this kind of service from all over the world. If you read a little closer, this woman didn't take any basic precautions like getting ID, photographs, references, phone numbers and so on. Sure you could fake all of that information, but then you need accomplices.
Right you are, she is mad and surprised, though the thought of easy money for her obviously far outweighed the minimal effort she put in to get it. Hopefully the people who did it are caught, and hopefully this woman learns a very valuable life lesson.
Robot maintenance? If you want to keep your job I guess you tweak your skill set. Seems like there will always be a need for humans in the chain, no matter how technologically advanced things get. I know reeducation isn't always possible for the masses, but the masses tend to move on to other factories when doors close up. At the moment manual labor in Asia is a lot cheaper than the cost of buying and maintaining robotic factory lines, until that changes, these people will not be jobless for too long.

The parent is correct.
Search engines can suck too.

Or, now that I think about it more, probably I should actually understand what you are saying first, before I start typing :-)

I am utterly lazy, but a few moments in google and I added the following to my domains:
RewriteEngine On .* - [F]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(HEAD|GET) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Range} ([0-9]*-[0-9]*)(\s*,\s*[0-9]*-[0-9]*)+
RewriteRule
It certainly makes the exploit fail which is good enough for me until Apache gets a fix going.
Not if you have a VT220 on a trolley plugged in to your console port good sir :-)

I'm sure all of this is leading back to horses and buggies. Seems like the humble whip maker will yet see a resurgence in the trade too. :-)
