It might be too late and you'll need the assistance of an attorney familiar with international contracts. But the next time the board of directors flies that company jet into St. Moritz, its yours.
I know a few people who fit into the 'snap at any moment' category. Often, the potentially violent ones are sociopaths and sociopaths can be very charming. So what you have is someone whom everyone things is a great guy (sorry, most of these are male). But you can see that he has gotten a bug up his ass about something. And sometimes they let it fester for years, so the connection between the trigger and event may not be evident. Or the triggering event appears to have passed by smoothly, like someone who can handle his problems. But then they surface again.
Good luck with law enforcement picking people like this out of a crowd. Sociopaths can put on a pretty good act in front of authority figures. Close acquaintances or family members may be in a position to identify such people. But here again, the charming sociopath act covers it up.
Interesting that there is the obligatory 'Sign up for a Facebook account' link even here. No thanks (not ever, actually). But this is the last person I'd want to 'friend' with everyone watching the page logs.
Virtually all small motors, for example, are non-synchronous (e.g.. they do not run at line frequency). The motor's running frequency is easy to see in a spectrum generated from the power waveform because motors generate electrical noise at their running speed and low level harmonics of their running speed.
You are thinking of induction motors. And while they rotate at less than synchronous speed, the magnetic flux in the air gap does rotate at synchronous speed. The induced rotor currents have a frequency that is dependent on the motors slip, which is perhaps 5% of synchronous speed and therefore very easy to isolate from the synchronous line currents.
The reason people aren't aware of this is that it isn't visible without a rather expensive analyzer and it generally doesn't matter enough to justify spending thousands of dollars on an analyzer that will do them no good. The company I work for happens to make those analyzers, however, so I'm just a teensy bit familiar with this stuff.
It is visible with a strobe light or neon lamp running off line voltage. And while the 'average person' may not be aware of it, this effect is very EE 101 stuff and not all that difficult for most engineers, technicians and electricians to understand. No expensive analyzers required.
Other noise sources from line powered equipment will either be harmonics of (and therefore have a fixed phase relationship to) the fundamental frequency, or produced by some independent internal clock and be so far from the line frequency that filtering them from the fundamental is trivially simple.
The devices you describe don't produce their own 50 or 60 Hz frequency source. That hum, or the related switch mode power supply operating frequency is produced by the instantaneous line frequency. And even more important, the line voltage phase.
A trivial form of analysis would simply check the phase (times between zero crossings) of the background noise. Any sudden shift would signify missing time from the recording. The comparison to a system database simply adds a unique time stamp to the recording.

Better yet, burned to the ground if they don't stay home and stand guard.

That page is down now anyway.

we'll buy big houses and hire gardeners, maids, butlers etc.
Robot maids, butlers, gardeners, etc.
OTOH, my wife refuses to replace the pool boy.
The hearing aid outfits have been turning the volume on their commercials down for years already.
So, if the beings on Titan fart oxygen, they could light them.
Hmm. So the cops are being called in to enforce Apple's marketing plans?
The tracking app linked from the Gizmodo site isn't responding at the moment. Perhaps the NK satellite landed on their data center.

It looks like it will stay up just long enough to fall on .....
Pyonyang.
Most countries' early launches are to the east since you get free energy from the Earth's rotation if you launch in that direction.
You've just given the enemy key technical information that will allow them to succeed the next time.
I was hoping for Dec 21.
Good. I always suspected the little bastard was up to something when I'm not around.
Can they do this for my car keys as well?
Probably because IE is so tightly bound to Windows, everything is "its window".
And New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Israel and Canada.
Word is, they are even working on infiltrating the CIA and State Department.

Parent forgot FSM. Other than that, RAmen!
What lie. It's says so right in the article.
You read the article? Security breach!
Not yet? Then fuck it.
Live there? I just want a post office box.
