It is difficult to find the suspect as they could be in a few square mile area.
Let's make it easier to catch them. A small camera* tied to the GPS system can capture an image of the source and calculate its source. Tie that to the ACARS system and a ground-based app that can forward the information to the local authorities and it might be possible to get la enforcement on site within minutes.
*Perhaps an Android/iPhone app and a mounting bracket to point the camera phone out the cockpit window. Reporting back via cellular data link.
how many of those products emit actual laser beams outside the casing
Many. Laser pointers, surveying and leveling equipment, etc.
And don't forget those cool Christmas decorations. They can have my laser projector when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands!*
*Actually, I mount mine up in a tree pointing down at the house. Idiots who stick them in the lawn on a stake are asking for the neighborhood riff-raff to steal them.
The religious fundies know that if an escape route is offered...
It's about demonstrating compliance with authority. When the fundie leadership says jump, their followers jump. No matter what they might think deep down.
smattering of knowledge and education know, deep in their heart, evolution is true, believe it must be true.
Which contradicts the teaching of the Church about how God/Jesus/FSM just 'knows' what is in your heart. If you know something to be true, deep down, then God will know that. And if you say something different.... Gotcha! But that's not what religion is about. It's purely secular power. How many people can I, a religious leader, get to jump at my command. In spite of what they believe. It's what I can bring to the table politically to get my way. No gods needed.
Firefox is uniquely* exposed to this exploit in that an attacker can embed the bad font in a we page. With other applications, one needs to download and install the font as a separate step.
*At least for OpenOffice, I have to download/install fonts. There may exist apps that do this automatically from remote sites. But how an attacker could specify a particular font server from which the app should download their corrupted font is another hoop they would have to jump through.
In the shorter term: What is on the Court's docket for the remainder of this year? There appear to be two more sessions scheduled, February 22 and March 21. In addition, the justices may have some decisions pending for which Scalia may not yet have given opinions. What happens to these and will his loss make a difference in any important upcoming decisions?
USGS already does this. They monitor tweets for the word 'earthquake' in a number of languages. And they got a few seconds advance notice on the 2015 Nepal earthquake before their seismographs picked it up.
But Anne Frank's Diary was published in 1947. Extending that copyright beyond the term in effect at the time it was published is a violation of the constitutional prohibition against ex post facto laws.
But then, IANAL and the Supreme Court would probably be overruled by Mickey Mouse anyway.
Timestamp? As in a system generated date/time? Why would you ever expect a less than zero value?
Now, for date calculations; yes. Dates before the O/S epoch must be valid. So the representation of dates must either handle negative values or have some other method of representing dates as far back as 14,000,000,006 years.
Do you need to show identification to purchase them?
It depends on the country. I've had to show a passport in Athens and I've paid cash, no questions asked, in Munich. All within the last 5 years (so laws may have changed more recently).
Garmin's maps suck. A few years ago, I decided to take a scenic route home by driving around the East side of Lake Stevens (Wash State) instead of the West (direct route). I figured my dashboard GPS would just say "recalculating" and direct me to my destination. But that part of the county is similar to the territory in Winter's Bone or Deliverance. I suspect Garmin just figured that there was nothing worth mapping that far out in the sticks because their map was blank. I tried it again with my hiking eTrex, loaded with Openstreetmap data. No problems*.
*I still kept my doors locked as there were a few residents that looked like "Squeal like a pig" might be a typical greeting.
Just wondering out loud here: It would be interesting to see if there is any correlation of such a large gravitational wave passing with things like earthquake frequencies/magnitudes. Or short term solar emissions or surface anomalies.
Actually, it does to an extent. In species that live in social groups. Cheating (stealing food, for example) will eventually get the misbehaving individual thrown out. It's about establishing and maintaining trust within that group. But here's the problem with university research experiments: There is no permanent social group. A bunch of strangers are brought together for the study. But when they leave, they will likely not interact in the future. So who cares what they think of each other? This is probably beyond the level of planning that animals engage in.
This is also a factor in the behavior of individuals that expect a reward in some afterlife. They might be more willing to accept rejection from society at large at present in return for the promise of a reward in an afterlife. As animals don't suffer from the same sorts of imaginary thinking, they tend to act so as to maximize their acceptance into their pack or social group.
They didn't actually ban it outright. They put it on the ITAR munitions list in an effort to keep it from being exported and used by the overseas targets of our espionage. Inside the USA, we were still free to use strong encryption between ourselves. Unfortunately, our moron legislators didn't understand that the underlying math and theory was already out there and how trivially easy it was to replicate and distribute from sites offshore.
Fast forward to today: What they want ('they' being a couple of half-wits in congress and law enforcement) is to restrict certain forms of encryption from coming back inside the USA. The TLAs are no longer spying on overseas entities. They are spying on their own population and don't want strong encryption schemes to interfere with that.

he's not a realistic option at this point in time.
But Trump is????
We're ready if you are.

Around the cockpit windows. We'll shine one right back at you.

doing whatever the President says is part of a Senator's job
Well, that depends on whether he is 'our' president or the other sides.
Dear FDA,
I have been prescribed this combination of drugs which I believe to be .... [Eeep! Aaack! Gurgle ........ Thud!]
I'm not so sure about that. Recent (very) evidence indicates that gravitational waves exist. Gravitons are still hypothetical.
USGS already does this. They monitor tweets for the word 'earthquake' in a number of languages. And they got a few seconds advance notice on the 2015 Nepal earthquake before their seismographs picked it up.
Tomorrow at noon, everyone jump up and down.

No problem. You can reset your iPhone to factory default by placing it in a microwave oven on high for 2 minutes. ;-)

Garmin's response to someone following their GPS
Garmin's maps suck. A few years ago, I decided to take a scenic route home by driving around the East side of Lake Stevens (Wash State) instead of the West (direct route).

This does not exist in nature.
Actually, it does to an extent. In species that live in social groups. Cheating (stealing food, for example) will eventually get the misbehaving individual thrown out. It's about establishing and maintaining trust within that group. But here's the problem with university research experiments: There is no permanent social group.

when they attempted to ban PGP, decades ago.
They didn't actually ban it outright. They put it on the ITAR munitions list in an effort to keep it from being exported and used by the overseas targets of our espionage. Inside the USA, we were still free to use strong encryption between ourselves. Unfortunately, our moron legislators didn't understand that the underlying math and theory was already out there and how trivially easy it was to replicate and distribute from sites offshore.
