Switzerland is a model of how to build a sane foreign policy and a sane military (although they should abolish the draft and have a 100% volunteer army) .
So your policy for national security of your country is to act like the country recognized for laundering the money for corrupt politicians and criminals around the world? If you think switzerland is safe because its friendly, you really are out of touch with the world. Switzerland is only safe because A) it offers nothing of value B) They know ALLL the dirty little secrets of the politicians. Attacking them would be the end of hidden money supply, the rest of the world would immediately respond to you in kind... oh... AND THERES NOTHING THERE TO WANT.
You have no idea why that only works for piss ant little countries that no one cares about otherwise ANYWAY?
No one fights to invade Siberia either. Well okay, not anymore, but the last guys who did learned why it was a dumb move there too.
Then again the US is still in Afghanistan after all these years with no real improvement so maybe you're screwed either way.
No real improvement? Are you completely out of touch with reality or are you just that shitty of a troll?
The went from Taliban controlled hell to a 'mostly' democratically elected government with women in its parliament. They have a long fucking way to go, but if you think there has been no real improvement you're about as ignorant as it gets.
Maybe you should go read a history book or 200 hundred and learn what happens when wars turn to occupations. We were in Germany for for 40 fucking years AFTER THE END OF THE WAR.
Yes, we also can detect that before it enters the port.
A cruise missile launched from a nuclear sub 20 miles of the coast on the other hand is going to be considerably harder to stop, especially if the country isn't already on alert.
ICBMs take too long to reach their destination. They havent' been the preferred delivery method for 30 years.
The nuclear material is HIGHLY refined. More effort was put into refining the material than the entire cost of the rest of the missile. That isn't even including mining and other processing it takes to get useful material.
The hardest part of making a fission weapon is refining your source material into something that will actually go critical in a way that uses up at least a few percent of the material in the bomb.
Keep in mind that when a bomb detonates, the 'radiation' damage you suffer is from the 'dirty' aspects of the bomb... i.e. the nuclear material that is dispersed by never splits, but is just blown apart with the explosion. The radiation from the blast itself will never be what you need to be worried about. If that radiation is going to bother you, the heat will have vaporized you before your cells have had the chance to even consider being affected by it.
Are they radiological or not? Can be detected from a distance and easy to distinguish from something without enough material to pose a large scale threat.
In reality however...
ICBMs are not what you should be concerned about.
Its the nuclear subs sitting 20 miles off the coast of... well, everywhere, that are fully capable of launching a hundred nuclear tipped cruise missles at a moments notice...
We've been backing off ICBMs for over 30 years. Believe it or not, that is shitty tech for the purpose at hand.
Which means you get wiped out while your missles are in space waiting for the re-entry time and your enemies missles didn't and are not detonating in your back yard.
They taught that shit in my drivers ed class in the early 90s... and I went to school in freaking central Florida, one of the worst.
What fucking shit hole did you live in that didn't think far enough ahead to teach defensive driving habits out of the box? Please tell me so I can avoid that place.
You know you live in a shit hole when central Florida does things better than you do.
Pay attention to the world around, maybe you wouldn't come off as such an arrogant prick.
Its also retardedly easy to show that the yellow light is not the standard 5 seconds if this is actually a problem. You could also easily report it to so... your local news channel who would have the problem cleared up in a day or two.
Instead you choose to pretend its an unresolvable issue that you can use as an excuse to violate the law.
Then the guy behind you would get a ticket for the accident he just caused more than likely, and they wouldn't likely be able to read the license plate on your car from behind his as he's pushing you.
Seriously, you fail at making up theoretical situations to justify your shitty driving.
No, the problem is you were going too fast for conditions.
The light doesn't change, the weather and your driving do. You're trying to argue that your inability to cope with driving conditions WHILE knowingly running lights that you are aware of their illegal yellow length (I'm assuming its illegal, I don't know anywhere in the US that doesn't mandate by law, 5 second yellows, anything else is probably not actually legal in and of itself by your own local and state laws.
Why don't you argue that its okay to speed if someone is tailgating you while you're at it.
Yes, even if it was a 2 second yell, if you know it, and don't adjust accordingly, YOU are the problem.
How? The law says don't cross the white line if the light is red
Have you ever actually driven a car? How many times have you pulled up to an intersection and had the white line so far back and obstructions such as hedges and other crap blocking your view from the corner so that in order to effectively see around the corner in order to proceed with a turn, you can not possibly be behind the line?
In a perfect world, getting a ticket for 1 inch over would be okay. But this isn't a perfect world and your retarded point utterly fails because of that fact.
In the real world, stopping 'before the white line' means you're likely never going to trigger the light's sensor so that it changes and doing so is unsafe from a practical perspective.
The next problem is that the camera's are usually fining people that weren't actually breaking the law.
LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, they got 3 times as many tickets as they have people that live there... You REALLY think EVERYONE IN THE TOWN GOT 3 TICKETS EACH LEGITIMATELY?
Spoken by someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.
All encryption and digital signatures are security through obscurity. All RSA hardware tokens, all passwords, all digital signatures including your precious PGP keys... all security through obscurity.
In fact ALL computer security is security through obscurity at this stage unless that security happens to be something like 'bury it in 2000 meters of concrete.
Perhaps it would be a better deal, but do you not understand that there are a significant number of people who refuse to give Apple any money?
You do not understand the stupidity of avoiding one wolf while actively crawling into the mouth of a wolf in sheeps clothing.
If you think Apple and Google are different, you are really really disconnected from reality. The only actual difference is Apple does what they do with pride, good or bad. Google tends to try to hide its bad a little better or at least appear more concerned like a good citizen. Appearances only.
So a chrome book would be fine for my 7 year old son as a toy, but not for anyone who actually wanted to accomplish anything? That's what you're saying?
Right, because that story wasn't completely full of out of context bullshit that made it look like it was far more impressive than it was, when in reality it wasn't even a little bit.
Combined Chromebook sales beat sales of SOME single models of other laptops... of course those other models where in a completely different class and price range, but you know, totally truthful article!
I was paying for it and they won't let me fucking watch it on my equipment so now I just steal it since apparently pirates can do a better job of getting me what I want to watch FOR FREE than Comcast can manage to pull of while consume copious amounts of my money for the disservice.
So let me get this straight, when Texan's were fighting along side all the other service men and women... you ignore that, but you pick that they didn't actually have an airplane fly into their building?
You're such a douche. Next time you get your ass handed too you, you go deal with it all by your lonesome. Texas and the rest of the world will leave you to solve your own problems.
Wrong. That specific act is covered under other privacy laws. You in fact do not have a right to use electronics to peer into my home citizen, neither do companies such as Google. The fact that common sense and prior public events and peeping tom laws are lost on you doesn't change reality.

What happens?
Nothing happens, as is clear since we're having this discussion.
Did you have point?

Which are extremely easy to detect.

You know you live in a shit hole when central Florida does things better than you do.

No, they are still trying to focus on teaching them not to fucking text while driving.
You think they've worked their way up to 'paying attention to the world outside the car'? Hahahaha.
Yellow light length is almost universally defined BY LAW as 5 seconds.
Cities shortening the time are probably breaking other state laws by doing so.
There is a solution to the actual problem you're referencing that should be used regardless of how you get the ticket, camera or officer.
While of course they do.
Its also retardedly easy to show that the yellow light is not the standard 5 seconds if this is actually a problem. You could also easily report it to so ... your local news channel who would have the problem cleared up in a day or two.
Instead you choose to pretend its an unresolvable issue that you can use as an excuse to violate the law.

Are you stupid?
it's arguing that security by obscurity works
Spoken by someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.
All encryption and digital signatures are security through obscurity. All RSA hardware tokens, all passwords, all digital signatures including your precious PGP keys ... all security through obscurity.
In fact ALL computer security is security through obscurity at this stage unless that security happens to be something like 'bury it in 2000 meters of concrete.
Stop repeating things you don't understand.
The irony of your post is just how stupid and useless it is ...

Welcome to 25 years ago.
Your mom doesn't know how to use a computer.
My kid can probably code you under the table in his sleep, though he'll probably misspell some of the text.
The solution is to make people smarter, not make things dumber.
A clone is a different living orgamism. It is not you any more than an identical twin.
Keep your panties on, your rights are irrelevent to the existence of a clone.
People are more than genetic material alone. Your life experiences define you, your genetics only influence the rest.
All that's happened is you suddenly have a potential organ donor
Wrong.
The entire post is can be summurized as:
I was paying for it and they won't let me fucking watch it on my equipment so now I just steal it since apparently pirates can do a better job of getting me what I want to watch FOR FREE than Comcast can manage to pull of while consume copious amounts of my money for the disservice.
It is probably what you want. I'm fairly certain its what I want as well.
The problem is that it doesn't freaking support encrypted channels in the US either apparently, or at least last time I tried.
I would absolutely love to get a raspberry pi to talk nicely with a Windows Media Center server, which apparently is easy as Pi ... in England :(
So let me get this straight, when Texan's were fighting along side all the other service men and women ... you ignore that, but you pick that they didn't actually have an airplane fly into their building?
