A friend of mine suggested such an idea to me 15 years ago. This is what I told him.
You run it inside an x86 interpreter which simulates the CPU all the way through the decryption. Then you snapshot the decrypted code and rebuild the app without the decryption and substitute the decrypted code. Now it's just a plain app. If it tries to "detect it's environment" (read the clock, etc), the simulator just tells it whatever it wants to hear. It cannot know it's being simulated, it's just code.
Just as the NSA complains about Apple and Google using effective encryption and how it stops them from fighting "terrorism", in the near future they will whine that can't fight terrorism if the TV manufacturers don't put this monitoring technology in their TV's.
They say that the person chooses the next in sequence by the name of the game, but that may not be why.
Perhaps when they lose they choose the pattern that beats the pattern they just used.
It still results in the same sequence, R>P>S, but for a different reason.
What if computers were shipped with the Secure Boot disabled, and then a BIOS setting would allow it to be enabled?
Then Linux users could use it normally, and Windows users could switch it on.
You would have no option to disable it once it was enabled so it would remain "secure" for the Windows folks.
If you got rid of corporations, you'd basically destroy the economy, and prevent a new one from growing.
Well I (and I think most people) don't want to get rid of corporations, I just want to get rid of my government being run by corporations.
Would it destroy our economy to have our representatives beholden solely to the citizens that elected them?
Me: "Hi, I'd like to complete your cancellation of our contract."
AT&T: "OUR cancellation? How do you figure that?"
Me: "Well our contract was for unlimited data access, and you have announced that you no longer offer unlimited data access, so that means you've canceled our contract."
I just find it interesting that whether or not a cell phone is a container that holds objects -- something one might discuss with their two-year old -- is being debated in a state supreme court.
It would be separate instructions on a RISC machine, but not a traditional CISC machine.
This is a One Instruction CISC (although that seems like an oxymoron)
If Twitter is the main consumer of these, and they depend on them, why doesn't Twitter go into the shortening business? Buy one of those short domain names and run it themselves. They clearly have the resources, and the motivation. Seems obvious to me.
You are on to the problem - lack of resolution - but a little off in the numbers.
At 687 meters in 0.3433 seconds it is traveling 2000 m/s. So with only 0.1 second accuracy you can only get within +/- 200 meters. Even if there were no floating point conversion error, or accumulation of errors, 0.1 second is simply not enough resolution of time to intercept the missile.
I was wondering that myself. Aside from all the talk of losing your data if it gets too warm, what if the phone got really cold. Wouldn't that make it harder to heat up and write the data? Would it be temporarily unwritable when cold? Not a deal-breaker, but I just wonder.

and I'll guess that their data is in the outer cylinders and your data is on the inner cylinders.
Then the publishing corporations should just sue all the libraries in the world for lost profits from books not being sold.
I think they meant it to be "We own our code, not you."

I'm not even sure there's a me in THIS universe.
Don't worry I'm sure the market will sort it out...
Thats why you have free market, capitalism and democracy!
Yup, it did get sorted out. The money got sorted into the pockets of the corporations. That's the plan and it's working efficiently.

Storing gasoline for the generator is a problem. I'm told that gasoline gets stale after a few months (is this true, or an urban legend?).
Consider a propane-powered generator (or maybe you can convert yours). Doesn't go stale.

...who have forgotten how to make phone calls because they only use their cell phones for txting.
Those kids might grow up to be book buyers!
...just add virus to make him mobile.
Once the LHC makes a black hole that swallows the earth, I'm sure there'll be plenty of lawsuits!

If all the votes are public, you can tally them yourself and see if they match the official total.

How could they ever think this would work?
Yep. He just needs to spend endless years in litigation to get his position back.
He loves an exercise in futility.
