I'd like to see all the government officials responsible for this whole NSA spying fiasco to be found hanging from the trees around the national mall; that would be Justice Served.
They are the real Traitors in this; they took the oath, then gave illegal and unconstitutional orders.
I agree; barring incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, the NSA will never be believed again.
Time to dismantle the entire operation and start over with new people; obviously none of these people understand what Domestic enemies are: People who are destroying the Constitution.
It is being destroyed because it is being ignored in the name of "National Security"; that bill of rights is so inconvenient for Despots.
They didn't need to repeal it; take a look around; they know there's nothing we can do about it.
Congress is likely being blackmailed into silence; in our society, everyone is guilty of something, are they not?
And here we always thought the "tinfoil hat" and gun nuts were just crazy...:facepalm:
I know we had unplanned criticality accidents that melted fuel; The US and USSR should have tons of this kind of data.
Shit, ORNL had liquid metal reactors. Seems like one had to be shut down before it exploded... U233 is a strange beast, apparently; it separates from the liquid metal coolant in globs, lol.
Alvin Weinberg talked about some of the stuff in his books; like burning a whole rail car of uranium to see what happens...
I've made some decent bets about whether or not someone can do a donut as well as my 96 Cougar...
Cars with always-on traction control can't do a donut or burnout, no matter how much horsepower they have.
It really pisses them off when you can do a kille,r around-the-front-wheels donut; and they can't even break it loose.:)
One of my coworkers has a newish Mustang with a blower, and it won't but barely squeak the tires. It won't do anything showy, unless you want to go 100mph in a parking lot.:facepalm:
I'm sure that can be fixed with a tune, but it sure is funny to see someone pay that much and be that ripped off, experience-wise.:)
Dude with the Audi was able to do a 4 wheel drive donut; not something I'd seen, but wtf, it's all good.:) .
Almost everything is smt these days, even home stuff, for me.
You can solder using a heat gun, and 2 sided pcbs are cheap these days in proto.
A 10k piece roll of 0402 resistors are ~$30; cut tape of any size is cheap from digikey, lol.
A scope is a required piece of equipment, from my viewpoint; I haven't used mine this month; maybe in july, but nothing else works when you need one.
Car audio amplifiers are one of the big things "friends" ask you to look at; showing them on the scope why it wasted their $1000 highly overrated subwoofer, and telling them how much it cost to fix, usually cures that problem.:)
Both my home scopes are analog; 1MHz and 350Mhz; Audio, and 480p video, lol.
Fixing new TVs is a board swapping operation; the component that fails is the one in the middle with the heatsink and no numbers...
500MHz is pretty much all you need for most analog work stuff; I have a Lecroy that goes to 11 tho, lol.
Slashdot Mirror
Not only that, you paid for it with Tax dollars.
The older cpus only do rpm limits and speed limiters; most obdII cars have speed limits that match the tires it comes with. :)
All my cars are Way too old, lol. :)
All cars with fly-by-wire tech can be turned off remotely, as well as any GM with onstar.
Already done years ago.
Agreed.

I do.
I remember when America was the Bastion of Freedom, not some third-world country with ambitions of being the world's Gestapo. :(
cold ford hasn't had his coffee yet this morning.
I'm sure he'll be back later with something similar...
n/t.

Be careful, you might get arrested for telling someone how to steal.
And burn nitromethane, which burns so fast it doesn't really need rings... or would break them...
Agreed. :)

No, but it made the 'Russkis' crap their pants; they weren't close to that at the time. :)
I feel like this drone announcement is one of those achievements for the "Special" kids, to make them feel better about themselves.
Based on what we've done in the past, I guess it is.
A mole of plancks would be a usable universal length; just exactly how long that is is another question. :)
I'm no doctor, but if I ever see a girl with a bunghole that looks like that, I'm running, naked or not. :)
It would have been great if they would have made one. :)
Just goes to show how much money you can "Blow" writing a video game for 15 years. :facepalm:

Because the laws are made to make the poor shut the fuck up.
And keep them poor, but that's another issue...
Why we all laughed so hard we peed ourselves, for Congress soapboxing the idea on Fox; no one there would get it either. rofl.
I hear "Dead-Eye Cruz" won't be doing anything next election; someone should pitch it to him. :)
I for one could use some Comedy out of Washington, instead of more Drama.
This current group has more Drama than a pack of teenage cutters.
As long as American Nazis are in charge.
Please make a note of it.
The NSA, of course. :)
Or NIST; same thing.
I diagrammed this Sentence in Sophomore English in HS, following up, "Jesus wept." :)
Mr. Countiss really liked that, IIRC.
If there's DNA on your Backdoor, you've just been rooted!
(sorry; but this IS /.) :)
