A guy did about a million dollars of damage with a gun on the Alaska pipeline (the smaller-leak set off detectors, but wasn't as identifiable as larger leaks, and was in a remote area for complicated cleanup). But I've seen a few hundred thousand dollars of substation taken out by a snake. Throwing a water mellon over the fence with exceptional aim would have a similar effect.
The benefit of the cyber attacks is untouchability. Perform the attack from a place with no extradition, and you'll be fine. Also, you can hit multiple places at once, something that would take a small army to do in person.
But for "effort for damage" buying a watermelon and thowing it over the substation fence onto a transformer probably has cyber beat.
I could take out a substation with parts found in any store and wouldn't trigger any alerts buying them. Heck, damage things with a bow and arrow and thick metal wire. There are cheaper/easier ways to take down power. Back a pickup truck into a tower. The "cyber" complaint is FUD. It may be true, but is still FUD because it's easier to attack the infrastructure in other ways.
Of all the problems, that's the one you attach to? This is an ex post facto law (the debt was "clear" in 2010, and owed in 2014 due to change of law). It's seizing without due process, and it's an illegal bill of attainder. Though I'm sure it's a new class of "seizure" that doesn't need to follow any of the legal protections in the Constitution. Like being pulled over for speeding is both an arrest and not an arrest at the same time so they can pick and choose rights and powers that apply.
There are drivable helicopters. Though I would think of http://moller.com/dev/index.ph... as what people think of, a car that would blend into traffic that can fly, or the other Mollers that are less car looking.
More like a helicopter than an aeroplane? Nope. Airplanes are MUCH easier to fly than a helicopter; the average person cannot do this.
More like a large manned quadcopter. They are stable, and with some computer control, easily flyable.
Flying cars? No. Never ever ever will the FAA allow such a thing.
They already do. You just must build it yourself as a kit. There are videos out there of driving helicopter with stowable rotors and other such "flying cars" that are 100% legal. Now, making it legal to sell as a full aircraft is something different. and 3.1 million dollars wouldn't get them past some introductory flights.
Events like this are totally random and tend to be added to both groups equally.
From the statistics I've seen, that's not true. A dead person where sexual preference couldn't have played a role is counted as a "heterosexual" death. That doesn't count equally. So I don't believe your assertion.
Either way straights are still ahead in the death counter in any and all countries, no matter how homophobic or not the culture is.
No, they aren't. Next you'll tell me that there has never been a suicide by car. Note, the federal government doesn't like suicide, so it's not a option on the reporting forms, so a person who decides to commit suicide by getting drunk, leaving a note, and driving into a wall or off a bridge is listed as "alcohol related" and "speed related" artificially inflating those numbers, and *never* listed in FARS as a suicide. Just like the heterosexual numbers include gays roughly equal to their concentration in the general public, and a separate count is kept when gays are killed in hate crimes. This makes gays dead much more often than heterosexuals, but with statistics people can use to prove the opposite point.
And no, I won't take your word for it. If you want to prove your point, prove it with something more than factless assertions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G... The middle east has expanded. It means "Islamic world" now. Though apparently "Islamic world - except Indonesia" would be more accurate.
What about people who live in Alaska? Though, since just about everything is coast, they do mainly say "west" without reference to "coast" to mean the west coast of Alaska. There's more coast facing west in Alaska than the entire "west coast" (of the USA from WA to CA - inclusive).
Shooting into a crowd at a mall and hitting a gay person will not be labeled a hate crime or under violence against gays, so using those statistics to show stright people are more likely to die is a non sequitur. That's not what the statistics measure. Not every crime against a gay person is measured as a hate crime, and thus, they can't be used to prove the number of crimes against gay people, as you assert.
In addition your shell has to not burn up in the atmosphere.
Someone else posted that for a 100 mile shot, it would exit the atmosphere (and thus have to re-enter anyway). So I expect it would be able to handle a re-entry.
Even if you fire at Mach 10 a competing bomber crew is probably going to have taken off, destroyed the target with an accurate, guided solution, and be home in bed by the time your shot arrives.
Yea, but they don't have the range to hit my secret base on the moon. The trick is how to build the gun on the dark side of the moon so that it can hit the Earth. That way the Earth couldn't see it and certainly couldn't shoot back with lasers or such.
Maybe it was regional, but there was definately anti-PC sentiment where I was. Much like "your baby an read' is mocked more recently. A yuppy way of over-indulging your children.
Sure, grab that and run. You aren't going to run fast carrying that thing by the handle. Maybe if you got the optional (or 3rd party) backpack adapter. But that wasn't much better. The kids at school made fun of me when I carried it, but that's because it weighed as much as I did.
Seriously, in what other domain is ignorance of a subject celebrated as much as with a language's grammar? Can you name even one?
Medicine? See Jenny McCarthy
Science? See all the religious people attacking science
Education? See all the people blaming the teachers for not raising their children properly, without knowing what a teacher is supposed to be doing, and what the parents are supposed to be doing.
Communication is about communicating. If you know what they mean when there using the wrong word, then they successfully communicated. Whether you have some dislike of the style is a separate issue.
You may lie all you want, but I remember the anti-yuppy sentiment, and hipsters are the new yuppies. I lived it, that you are too young or too stupid to have known doesn't change reality.
The navy's new railgun should be able to fire out of the moon's gravity well. Could hit the Earth, or Mars from there. It would be interesting to test acuracy of a 390,000 km shot.

Because that is the only place to see your fabricated statistics?
And you are a bigot. Why do you hate everyone?
The law doesn't require them to do it, so they can cancel the policy without canceling the law.

I do that now. It's called a motorcycle. Just live some place where lane splitting is legal.

OZ and NZ are also having more cloud cover than usual. Though we miss some of the start, but not the totality.

Isn't that Alaska Time?

So American people now refer Tampa, FL as west coast???
What do people in Orlando refer to it as? I've lived on a west coast in the US, and it wasn't PDT.

The fact that you don't is entirely the purists' point.
That they understand 100%, but wish they didn't? That's a silly complaint.

On slashdot I can repost. See?
With others, I have different options. Depends on the site and the medium.
Ha ha ha. How many people have been imprisoned for chewing gum? Oh yeah, none. Too bad your joke is a lie.
