Which means the net impact of this on the union members is them being out of a job, and the impact on the CEO effectively nothing. So what exactly did the union accomplish here aside from screwing themselves?
Otherwise, it would be the 1850's and we'd be in gunslinger battles. Though cool to some, the toll would be 2-3x the size and 10x more casualties/collateral damage.
Um, what? You do know that the whole gunslinger cowboy myth is just that, a myth, right? Actual shootouts were INCREDIBLY rare, despite lots of people being armed. Funny how that works, it's almost like people are less likely to start violent confrontations when the odds aren't heavily stacked in their favor.
So are you saying we have no need for things like x/x or x^0? After all, for any x those = 1 and there's no need to have multiple representations....
Or maybe math is just a bit more complicated than you'd prefer and having multiple ways of representing something is sometimes helpful? Nah, couldn't be.
Seriously, why are we wasting our time with charlatans like Rossi? The best thing we can do is ignore him and hope he and his ilk go away. Every bit of news coverage lends him undeserved credibility.
I can think of one reason not to use encrypted GPS, and that's if losing the drone was expected. You wouldn't want to hand a current key to the enemy, so it might be worth a greater chance of them spoofing GPS.
Nah, I can guarantee you that anything using encrypted GPS signals has erase routines to wipe the keys from memory. The keys were probably gone before the drone hit the ground.
Ok, yes, you're correct in that the P-code isn't strictly military, but my point still remains - s/military/P-code and s/civilian/CA and my post holds up.
A compass and some accelerometers(or even a view of the sun and an RTC) are a lousy substitute for the accuracy of GPS; but they do provide a sanity check that could keep you going in approximately the right direction, at least enough to hard-land somewhere nominally friendly, if GPS cannot be trusted...
It's almost certain that this drone DOES have an inertial navigation system - the problem is, how do you know when to use it? The way they usually work is that the navigation system computes two solutions: a hybrid GPS/INS solution to use most of the time, and a backup inertial-only solution. The inertial-only solution doesn't get used by the flight computers unless GPS is out entirely or there's some other very obvious problem. If you spoofed a GPS signal with real coordinates and slowly guided it away, how could the nav system see there's something wrong?
One would think that the GPS the military relies on would be encrypted or something, y'know? How difficult is it to spoof military GPS?
Very. The military GPS signals are encrypted with some pretty large keys that are changed every 24 hours IIRC. However, the nav systems will probably fall back to using the civilian GPS if the military signal is unavailable for some reason. My guess is that you could drown out all the real GPS signals with noise, then feed the target some spoofed civilian signals to get it to go where you want.

Tell me, how many lives has poetry saved?
My alma mater (California State University, Northridge) has had one of these for over 15 years (http://library.csun.edu/About/ASRS). Sure it's cool, but why do we care? It's nothing new or groundbreaking.
These numbers are faked. If your stats were accurate exactly 11.7% would be showing Emacs/w3m. Of course, you cold just be a jealous vi user who has no web browser or Rogue client built in to your text editor.
Text editor? When did they add a text editor to the Emacs OS?
Hell, why don't we go back to sending kids who steal bread to Australia while we're at it.
Because we have laws against cruel and unusual punishment now and even the RIAA would concur that an island that full of poisonous things is a crime against nature.
Re-read the trilogy. The ending of Neuromancer (the joining of the two AIs and its effect upon the Matrix) is directly responsible for the creation of the "voodoo gods" that show up in Count Zero, which give rise to Dr. Mitchell's research and Angie's implant. The three books are absolutely one work.

Considering that those were U.S. planes used in 9/11, I don't think LWATCDR is the stupid sounding one here...

"Buy from us, we're more expensive" doesn't work, no matter which country you're from, sorry.
Oh really? Apparently no one told these guys
Yes, but can your new, quiet, comfortable keyboard be used to beat a man to death? Didn't think so.

All three are definitely not a single work.

Got them to spell out my name with their ant trails. Wife wasn't as impressed as you might imagine.
That was your mistake, you should have got the ants to spell out your wife's name Women love that romantic stuff!
Huh. Guess that's why I'm still single - my first thought was "Guy needs a new wife." Your idea is probably better.
I have no idea why, but this made me spit beer everywhere.
