Anyone against gay marriage in New Jersey can now be charged under hate crime especially when emotionally unstable gay person can commit suicide due to public biased intimidation from anti-gay marriage bill proponents.
Especially for people who just "love" to hear themselves talk, won't this device actually "amplify" their own voice and take pleasure in hearing their own voices... besides, people like that barely listen to anything anyways, to implement this in US style town hall meeting, that thing better have a bullet.
LOL traceroute is just a bunch 'o ICMP pings with varying TTLs.
Umm. no. ICMP unicast L2 ping utilities measure single hop one to one TTL. While traceroute ICMP unicast works the same, default behavior in most multicast l2/l3 traceroute utilities measure one to many hops in-route TTL.
There is no room for some libertarian free will talk here. Regardless of one's choosing, US does not prohibit traveling to Iran. In fact, it's prevailing that Switzerland is interim de-facto protection power over US interests in Iran, so the point is moot.
But to point out how "useful" one can be in situation like this without de-humanizing anyone regardless of nationality, we have to consider some facts here. Is Amir Mizra Hekmati a US spy? As you may well know and as many people do, clandestine operatives are anonymous and are not in business of becoming a collateral damage. Matter of fact, most of us just don't know, can't know, won't know and don't have to know, because nobody needs to know. And those are the facts we are dealing with.
So what if he isn't a spy? Then one must think about why Iranian gov't is boasting and carrying out "court prosecution" of an innocent person. Of all places, state controlled media in Iran, what is the point of all this propaganda?
Even if Amir Mizra Hekmati is a silent partner in NCS clandestine effort, how much credibility in the region will US lose in the wake of so called "Arab Spring"? Or better yet, should US care? What context is this leading US into? Is this even relevant?
Now here comes the point.
Iran wants... no, Iran IS taking this opportunity to boost its regime's influence and credibility over neighboring region during this turbulent time. Amir Mizra Hekmati is just a pawn caught in the middle. If US doesn't do anything as some suggested we take "Don't Do Something, Just Stand There!" approach, we can be assure that Iran will bank on every opportunity to takeover US influence in the region. And in the back of my mind (small mind at that!), I think, Iranian gov't is playing a game of double jeopardy with US; damn if you do, damn if you don't.
Therefore I think, US should be in damage control mode to minimize any further erosion and get back to negotiation. To do that, we may need to rollback some of recent Obama's Iran Econ. Sanction executive orders if need arise. After all, what does Iran have to lose as the recent intel shows that they already have nuke bunkers anyway? By killing US interest during negotiation, Iran has everything to lose, including credibility.
I would say that "propaganda" (17th century coined term which originated from "to propagate" information) is a marketing itself; a "deceptive marketing" at that.
1. There is no such thing as "former" Marine. 2. No matter how dire consequence there may be, a death penalty doesn't help either party, US or Iran, especially Iran. 3. Forget the sanction talk for now and go back to negotiation. Econ. sanction didn't work and doesn't work without stepping on our own foot anyway. There is no gain here, so use it for our advantage on negotiation table. 4. Iranian gov't taking political hostages isn't new, but this is an enormous precedence in pushing toward future Iranian nuclear disarmament. US might be out of Iraq, but US just delivered F-15s to Saudi.
> you lose a cheap plane and some cargo, but that's all.
Contrarily smugglers are not as valuable as single kilo of coke. To drug cartels, humans are replaceable, but time and effort put in to produce narcotics and committed delivery agreements are not. If UAV crashed while smuggling a kilo across the border, there has to be a backup standing by to retrieve that cargo at all cost. Also distributing small amount of narcotics using massive numbers of undetectable UAV has to account for more inherent failures (strong wind, mechanical failure, signal disruption, greater chance of detection by border patrols, difficulty of retrieval) than single large payload delivery using shortest path from point A to point B; for example, submarine, bribing border guards, etc. I think, this makes small UAV as a drug smuggling device impractical.
this finding was in X chromosome, not mitochondria. so this could have easily been the other way around (neanderthal fucking sapien). logically i do not think (i ain't no expert in this field) even a strongest male sapien could have overpowered a young female neanderthal. only way i could see this plausible (again, i am no expert in this field), an intercourse through multiple male co-operative dominance (simply put, a gang rape). even then, i doubt, as an healthy neanderthal can overpower a strongest h. sapien arm wrestler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELavgk1_9L4
Now, there is another vector which i do not want to entertain even as a thought, a band of female Amazonian like Neanderthals running about Middle East raping Homo Spiens.
I think, these guys aren't original at all. It's like watching Rocky movie sequels. Every plot (revenge) is same, methods (bomb/hostage) are same, entry of attacks are same (exploiting gaps), and subplots (demands) are same. At this point, I'm not really sure if it should be even categorically filed under "terror" or "TSA" anymore. Perhaps categorized under "Trial-and-Error"...
What would be original though is if a terror act so original, nothing is blown, only our minds. Like "WOW, I am impressed and terrorized at the same time by the display of originality". For instance, terrorist abducts Snooki and "Situation", and force them to learn method acting. Then the terrorist returns them as greatest method actors ever known. Later, the terrorist's plot unfolds as Snooki and "Situation" win the Oscar nomination, upsetting the balance of Universe.
TSA in turn can implement new security policy called "Water Fall" which provides all passengers with mandatory 1 liter drink beverages and alcohol 1 hour before boarding the plane and force passengers to listen to the sound of heavy water fall in the waiting area. Then if the passenger needs to go bathroom before boarding, the bathroom will be fitted with body scanner.
Obviously things like this will never happen because of their lack of understanding and originality.
according to numerous Windows MBR disassembled reverse engineered blogs states first 300 bytes is the bootstrap executable code pushed into memory by Windows (000h through 012Bh). so in theory, can Microsoft just provide boot image to just boot off USB thumb drive to restore system files (embedded bootstrap files only) and just overwrite first 300 bytes bootstrap code from mbr and call it a day?
I mean, this is chicken and the egg. You can't download BOOTREC.exe on a computer which seldom comes with installation DVD these days. And you can't restore system files from recovery partition (most likely infected). And you can't just copy clean system files from other clean computer over to your computer because of different Windows digital signature on bootstrap. So what the hell.
So why can't Microsoft just issue a recovery boot image to begin with instead of just handing out useless BOOTREC.exe and leave customers like a chicken with its head cut off?

That is because they have a positive IQ.
Is that what they say now days? "Positive IQ" bus? "Positive IQ" education? "Positive IQ" needs?
let's not forget, with that argument, color "white" is not a color either.

Yes. Revolution is an extension of evolution.
That's just plain butchery of Latin word, because they mean complete opposite.
evolution as in to unwind, to unroll, to unfold, to undo what's done.
revolution as in to change, to mutate in progression.
Either word cannot be related in context by an author with an intent to use it as an extension of the other.
