Yep, and they're trained to trap you with word games ("do you still beat your wife?"). A bad answer to something like that can lead to all sorts of problems.
You may think you're too smart for that... but they've had years of practice. Best to have a lawyer present.
There is zero evidence, so the FAA should change the rules.
I thought the rule was there because flight attendants can't be expected to know the tech specs of every single device on the market, which have WiFi, which have cellphone connection, whether or not they're in "flight" mode, etc., etc.
Given that problem, the only sensible solution is to ban everything.
Anybody who can't put down their Facebook feeds for a few minutes during takeoff/landing doesn't deserve to fly anyway.
That is the problem biometrics were INTENDED to solve. But all wishful thinking aside, so far nobody has been able to DESIGN a biometrics system that actually solves it.
I believe we will see most of the coverage tonight trying to paint the shooter as a supporter of one side or the other on this whole stalemate deal. Fact is, unless he managed to shoot a few legislators, it won't matter anyway who he sides with, since he's obvious nuts.
I want to know what'll happen if he's NOT Muslim. How will they spin that story?
Hobbyists like it because it's "free money". Plus their bitcoin mining machines are like penis extensions, they can wave them around in front of other people on the Internet.
PS: It's not free, mom has to pay the electricity bills.
See, that would require having good judgment and putting a thought or two towards contingency.
Nope. It would require a magic sixth sense that lets you know that the apparently trustworthy person you're with won't turn into a total asswipe six months from now. To date, there's no known method.
It also requires that none of his buddies will 'borrow' his cellphone when he's asleep/drunk and that he's incapable of hiding a cellphone in a place where you might be naked, or even just surprising you in the shower.
etc.
Short version: Life isn't the perfect little utopia you were imagining when you said that.

I admit I'm not an expert, but couldn't Javascript+CSS do validation and draw red rectangles around input boxes as you type?
A user could make 55 page-reload-causing mistakes and we'd still be ahead...
I assume it's some sort of hack done by an AMD engineer for a deadline DRM demo for the MAFIAA.
The MAFIAA connected an audio recorder to the output, no sound appeared, they went away happy.
Then the PHB from AMD told the engineers, "I don't know how you did that, but I want it in manufacturing by 4pm..."
Result: An adapter with secret EEPROM hidden inside.
He obviously didn't bother to read the documentation and tries to run hard disks without a USB hub, etc.
Rules about current consumption are only for losers.
It doesn't matter if you're behind Akamai if your website is that inefficiently designed. 56 JS files that are downloaded on hitting apply. WTF?
When I was young we used a thing called HTML forms.
I guess they don't have enough 'zing' for Obamacare in the 21st century, that's why they weren't considered.
Mongo just pawn in game of life.
I'm never going to pay a mechanic to build me a replacement engine from scratch. So why'd I need a mechanic who'd know that?
Sometimes you need more than a mass-produced transport designed to a price for the lowest common denominator.
.
if you were to meet a master of software programming, what are you absolutely sure he will recommend to a kid who wants to become a programmer?
Make it clear that 'mastery' of programming involves wisdom and experience beyond knowledge of techniques.
I'd recommend a good all-round education.
Believe it or not, the airlines don't have to let you fly with them. It's their aircraft, their rules.
You don't like it? You're free to start your own...
Yep, and they're trained to trap you with word games ("do you still beat your wife?"). A bad answer to something like that can lead to all sorts of problems.

In related news, the USA has no plans whatsoever to do anything about the environment.
I guess that's what happens when you let J.R.Ewing, et. al. run the country.
"newly discovered" != "new". Those streams may have been there for millions of years. They certainly were there when the continent was free of ice.
Right, but now we can see them and know if they're growing or not.
It's one more item to track on the ever-growing list of proofs.

I use C++ and I never think about memory management.
Once every six months or so the memory checker will beep at me. It's always a trivial fix.
The best part is: I know that files aren't staying open outside their scope, etc.
You can't order a horse to carry gear to specified coordinates unattended. Horses don't climb rough terrain particularly well either.
No, but maybe you could add a GPS system and a couple of servos to pull on the reins like a real rider would.
It would be a lot cheaper/quieter than this thing...
current capability is problem on any microcontrollers..
True, but Arduino owners are used to having a lot more than 10mA.
what I am asking is if it can replace an arduino in any project??
No, not even close.
It's obviously aimed at completely different market than the Arduino Uno, et. al..
Have you seen the maximum speed you can change an I/O pin at? All the pins are accessed via a multiplexer on the SPI bus - really slow.
Also the pins are very limited current capacity. 10mA max, less if you turn on several pins.

Nirvana fallacy
Just because it doesn't solve the problem 100% doesn't mean it isn't damn useful.
I'm not saying it isn't evil, but in India it may be the lesser of two evils.

obviously gasoline cars never catch on fire
They obviously do, but you're forgetting that the fire brigade had to use a POWDER extinguisher to put this fire out!! OMG PANIC!!!!
What happened to live and let live?
It's just a club, like a club for stamp collectors (or whatever).
Mensa might not sound useful to you, but they obviously think it is or they wouldn't be paying membership fees.
(And remember: They're smarter than you...)

This guy keeps turning out to be worse than we thought the day before.
Bitcoins turn you into a bad person, mmmmmkay?
Never nudes.

Although you're posting as AC, you make a decent point to which I would like to see a riposte.
Have you ever climbed Denali or Everest or Chimborazo? I can bet that the folks who do today will love having longer-term charging power.
The folks who do it today have things like this: http://www.amazon.com/Innovative-Digital-Hand-Crank-Emergency-Charger/dp/B0089QB2KY/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_2
They're more reliable than fire in a strong wind (strong winds occasionally happen on Everest, and I should know, I've climbed it 16 times).
