It is impossible to polish a turd. If you are asked to 'polish a turd' what they are really telling you to do is cover it in gold spray-paint and glitter.
The world becomes much easier when you are aware of these 'life code' optimizations. Don't waste any of your life trying to polish turds. Paint and glitter is where you will end anyhow, save the aggravation of actually trying (in these cases).
Use the personal energy saved to get a better job. It is amazing how many 'bossholes' actually make an effort to keep you depressed and your energy expended. This means they know you can do better.
If you are buried in Javascript working a web monkey job you have to escape, unless you like that kind of thing.
The Sony magnetic connector design is brain dead fucked.
They could have offset the pins to one side, or used a rectifier circuit. Instead they made it easy to reverse the voltage and tied a power pin direct to the main power of the phone. Why else would it shut the phone down?
IMHO this is all theater anyhow, to not expose that the NSA has ways to glitch the security chips. For simple examples of what I am talking about look at the methods that were used to make 'black sunday killed' smart cards continue to work on satellite dishes. It cost DirectTV/Dish the price of completely replacing all their smart cards to a new generation to end the free TV. Materially effected their earnings for years.
Simple example: An internal processor has decided the device 'is bricked'. In the boot up code, there exists a branch instruction, BNE addBrickLoop. In microcode the last part of that is Program Counter (PC) = addBrickLoop. You count the number of clock cycles from reset dropping until the branch's PC set, than on that clock (and only that clock) you cycle the clock at X (where X might vary) times the usual rate. PC doesn't have time to latch addBrickLoop and all is well. Or you drop Vcc on the same clock etc etc.
There are of course countermeasures (internally generated clocks and caps on Vcc), and countermeasures to countermeasures (Xrays and drills, pealing techniques), and countermeasures to the counter-counter measures (putting critical hardware in a layer just above the clock trace/Cap).
Both were standing against strongly opposed congresses for most of their administrations.
We're still waiting for the 'spending cut' parts of Grahm-Rudman. We should never accept another 'taxes now, spending cuts later' deal until the first is fulfilled.
What you are putting on Ron and Bill is more on Tip and Newt. If that's credit or blame will depend on your views.
Most of the real nasties are collected in the bottom ash. Which is rich enough in Uranium is would be 'ore' if it wasn't so loaded with mercury etc. Loopholes in EPA regs specifically for bottom ash or coal would be non-viable today.
Bottom ash was used as a substitute for road salt when the conditions where right. Didn't melt snow, but provided traction and was free to small coal plant owning cities. Yet another case where having government run industry doesn't clean up the industry and further corrupts the government.
Su-37 is a prototype. They have built _one_ of them. All they can afford.
Su-35 is 'production'. They have built 48 of them, have another 50 on contract with the Ruskys and signed a contract with India to build an updated version. At least a few have crashed/burned.
The Su-27M is the export version. If you had 40 million burning a hole in your pocket and good relations with Putin, you could buy one.
You expect there to be no place on the planet where secure phones are available?
That is what it would take.
There might be some issues with frequency, but I've got a current gen 'world phone' which works with T-Mobile and AT&T, but doesn't support Verizon and Sprints frequencies.
Having the authority for formally start a process to declassify something is not the same thing as having the authority to ignore classification at her whim.
Emissions regulations are impossible to enforce on domestic vehicles.
Once every other year I bolt the cats (actually the whole back of the exhaust) back on my car and remove the visible race parts without CARB#s. No big.

Fuck em. Just stop working for two weeks, but collect regular pay. Show up but do nothing, like the Indians when they are there.
Reminder everyone.

I haven't seen signs of the training you claim in my dealings with dot heads.
You get a very occasional exception.

You will get my 2 stroke mower when you pry if from my cold dead fingers.

What? You assume the German costs were zero because their was no fuel used? Marginal cost is not the same as average cost.
If Germany is exporting cheap energy it will be a huge political problem. Because it's selling insanely expensive energy to it's citizens.
Not polarized.
Be careful about dropping it into a base while half asleep. Putting it in backwards will shut down the phone and throw an overcurrent on the USB port.
Did in once on my Z1, they might have fixed it. Bridge rectifiers aren't expensive.
Get a slow flying fixed wing. 30 minutes is easy. Even with FPV.
Start adding gimbles and the plane will just have to get bigger. Low wing loading being key. You're already used to not flying on windy days.
The 'Drunken idiot' part is not in dispute.
The question is Russian drunken idiot or east Ukrainian drunken idiot?

NSA has the biggest budget.
Better example would be flashing your home router/devices to use 'Japan only' WiFi channels in an over-saturated area.
All you re-import is the image, at worst. Diff methods might make undocumented config flags usable in many devices.
Which images do you think will be the basis for all the bootleg ROMs? The insecure ones?

After you finish dreaming, acknowledge that they didn't and if they had the process would have taken a month or more. Suck it.
If the Rs got all 3 it would be just like Obama's first 2 years.
They would go nuts and lose control of a branch at the next election.
So the choice is lose precious gridlock for 2 years or let Hillary get away with it. Very tough choice.

Impossible to enforce.
Just sell the secure device and let Amazon or E-bay worry about (re)importing them. Watch the law change once they start losing tax revenue.
