If you admit that you did 'X' , then nobody can use the threat of revealing 'X' to blackmail you. It's the stuff that you keep secret that's the problem.
I'm not sure what your concern is - why *not* post such photos?
If you think that the publication of the photos would be a security concern, then I'd be *way* more concerned that an approved design would have such security concerns. Like crypto, the best security systems are immune to outside inspection. They should work even if the attacker has your blueprints.
The ban on reprocessing is I think less about it being stolen from a US plant, and more about "since the US doesn't do it they can steamroll others into not doing it" - actors like North Korea, for example, or even Japan. Proliferation, rather than security.
That said, I still think the ban is stupid - if we don't trust somebody with a reprocessing plant, why do we trust them not to do it anyway?
To say that MS has a poor record of backwards compatibility is, well, ridiculous. It's only just about *the* most important thing for them, because the majority of their business is with busnesses, and if their FooBar app doesn't run, then they don't upgrade.
The motor is likely an AC induction motor, and without brushes,not the problem. I'd check for a dodgy thermostat, myself. With bad / dirty contacts, it could start arcing something fierce before it cut out.
The flip side is that in the summer the urgency (based on the weather, at least) goes down. If the drone can't find you because it's too warm outside, you probably won't freeze to death.
For software, that would only be true if it was unmodified for 5 years - each modification caries its own copyright, correct? In that case, it's basically abandon-ware, so perhaps not a problem.
For the sex tape, I'm sure there's some way of noting that it was never 'released' by the original copyright holders, so other are not allowed to release it either.
It sounds like you are actually describing a bad neutral. This is a VERY VERY bad condition, as in may-kill-you-or-burn-down-the-house level bad.
If you see lights changing brightness (and staying that way while the item is on, not just start-up flicker) when 120 volt apliances or fixtures turn on or off, but every thing is fine for 240 volt items (water heater, electric stove, electric dryer), then RUN, don't walk, RUN to an electrician and the power company - the problem could be in your main breaker box, or anywhere upstream of that to the transformer serving your house.
Your conception of security and its evolution on Windows NT is flawed. The NT family was designed from day one for multi user access and security. It looks like and followed a single user OS (Win 9x and friends), but the underlying kernel code base is entirely unrelated.
+1 on real ear plugs. I have trouble sleeping, and I also have a woodworking shop. The best over ear hearing protection I have (intended for shooting) is a pale shade of something like these: http://www.protectear.com/products/db-life/ You want something like the dB Sleepers, non-vented (first on the page). They take a while to get used to (like, 2 or 3 weeks of using them, but unable to go the whole night because of discomfort), but once you do get used to them the difference is HUGE. The problem with most noise protection is that many are specifically *designed* to allow human voices (and noises generally in that frequency range) through, exactly so that people can wear the hearing protection and still communicate. Something designed for sleeping, however, doesn't have those constraints.

So... file early and pay later. You don't have to send a cheque when you file, just before the filing deadline.

No other OS has near the level of compatibility that the MS sequence does.

More likely, the formation of a contract - need to be 18 to enter into a contract. NDA, code ownership, etc.
That would be "USA federal laws that prohibits entering into a contract with anyone under the age of 18."
The contract is the NDA, etc that Paypal wants.
Still, they could just give him something as a gift, and let it go...
2.4 dropped to 1.8.
That wasn't the original claim - they didn't survey scientists, they surveyed *papers*. Research, not researchers.

But then it's no more a currency than chickens - it's a commodity.

Maybe he doesn't want Oregon businesses burdened with the problem of collecting taxes for *Other* states?
For Oregon, this proposition is nothing but deadweight loss - all drawbacks, not s single benefit.

What makes you think that the headset equipment *can't* make loud noises?
A supernova is not a sustained or ongoing reaction, and hence is not overly concerned with the reaction being endothermic.
