You've watched Red Dawn too many times. An armed populace without logistical support or actual training is just a bunch of folks with guns, not a militia, and not an army. They might look the part, but they're no coherent fighting force. The only real way for the American population to fight would be as they did in Iraq and Afghanistan - concentrate on IEDs. That's the only force multiplier at play in that scenario.
Weapons mean nothing without training. Yes, the US populace are well-armed, but without training they're no match for any army. Also they don't have logistical support, which means they're pretty useless.
And that's the difference. I've never had to consider whether hardware will work with my software. I just buy whatever's the most appealing. I couldn't imagine having to spend all that time digging around figuring out which peripherals are supported best under which distro, etc. Fuck that noise.
Most people don't give a shit about http/ssh/ftp. You might, but you are in the tiniest minority. If the word processor/spreadsheet/whatever you get with Linux doesn't do one thing that MS Office does that the user requires, then it's simply not comparable as an alternative. It takes about 30 minutes to install Windows 7, and about 10 to install the full MS Office suite. And, after those 40 minutes, you have an OS that is piss-easy to get support for, and you *know* your software is compatible with the insanely-vast majority of other users out there. I love Linux to death on servers, but god-damn please stop this abject bullshit. You are comparing apples to oranges, and saying apples are best because you don't have to peel them first, even though you're trying to make orange juice. Sometimes Linux just isn't right for the job. One day, it very well might be, but that day is definitely not today.
It would also require strengthening of the cockpit (floor & walls), as ejector seats are pretty damned heavy, plus to stop the rockets disfiguring the cockpit (and the hole), making a messy egress for the parts of the pilot lucky enough to not get pinned in the twisted metal. It's far easier, and safer, to just install a chute and hatch behind the cockpit, and give the pilot a parachute. Using a zero-zero chair has the great possibility of fucking up your spine, which is why they're only used in emergencies, and only as an absolute last resort. Heck, in the RAF you are (were?) only allowed a few ejections before you were removed from flying, as your spine simply can't put up with the insane amount of force required to accelerate your bag-of-soup body to the speeds required to separate you from the plane.
Usually in craft such as these, during flight testing, there is a chute behind the cockpit that allows the crew to just slide out underneath the aircraft, missing engines and the tail. It is preferred to the awesome-yet-nonsense manually-fitted rocket-propelled ejection seat as those require extensive modification to the cockpit, rendering flight testing useless (as the test pilots are essentially flying a different plane at that point), and are a damn-sight more expensive than a simple hole in the craft. Rocket engines are entirely overkill. There is a *lot* of space in these passenger planes, and they fly slowly and usually at great altitude. That combination makes egress incredibly easy with a chute. With all due respect, I have no idea how your post was modded +4, Informative:)
But this is an old plane, using old materials, old technology, and old construction techniques. I doubt they'd learn much from this that they haven't already learned from other crash experiments.
Which BBC? The BBC has a bunch of channels (BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three, BBC Four, BBC HD, BBC News, BBC Parliament, CBBC, CBeebies, BBC World News, BBC America, BBC Canada, BBC Kids, BBC Entertainment, BBC Lifestyle, BBC Knowledge, UKTV, UK.TV (confusingly-named), People+Arts, Animal Planet (co-owned), Persian). Saying "BBC" is about as vague as you can get.
14 knots isn't anywhere near fast, and it has a draft of 4.6m (15 feet!). Unless you include "super tankers" in your definition of "speed boats", your point seems a bit weird:)
Maybe where you live. My bank sent me a device I put on the screen, which reads a barcode on the website, which then requires me to enter a pin to retrieve a code which I then type back into the website. I'm in Germany, however.
You'd have a point if it was brute-forced, but as there is no indication of that in any way, shape, or form, you seem to be jumping the gun rather quickly. It's almost as if you've made up your mind before all the facts are in...
It wasn't brute-forced. Hotmail will slow down access after only a few failed attempts, meaning the attack would still be going on now. It's most likely his password was compromised somewhere else - be it his local computer or a separate account on another website which used the same password. He does mention having to change passwords on other accounts.
Stop cherry-picking parts of the ToS that appear to back up your claim. You missed out the part where they say what's yours remains yours. But as that would make your argument disappear, and stop you from being able to feel smug with yourself that you're better than Google, I doubt you'd have intentionally left that in there.
You absolute muppet. They clearly state you retain all rights to your own intellectual property which you upload to Google. They can not take your code and use it. As a professional web developer, you can't read for shit.
Unless you're firing someone for something illegal, such as being gay or a woman, there are no requirements beyond the notice period, which is usually just paid off to the employee. I don't know what you're smoking, but it seems awesome.

Nice generalisations. That's usually a great indicator the poster is full of shit.

You have no idea at all. Clearly. That is just paranoid delusion par excellence.
You seem to have something against Muslims. Weird.

No, funnily enough they thought of that. Strange, huh?
Maybe where you live. My bank sent me a device I put on the screen, which reads a barcode on the website, which then requires me to enter a pin to retrieve a code which I then type back into the website. I'm in Germany, however.
You can still use +. They removed it briefly, but now it's back.

You are sorely mistaken about domains and group policies. But why let facts get in the way of a good ol' moan at Microsoft.

The Austrians did it, and they didn't install a backdoor. So basically you're crying about something that didn't happen.
No, no it doesn't. Do you try to be such an ass on purpose, or is it just a natural gift?

It is proper English. It's a common English saying.
s/idea/problem. Fucking emotion.
