I think everyone knew that this MSFT and Nokia deal made no sense from the beginning. Always seemed like an inside job by the Nokia CEO who had just come over from MSFT.
The Artisans Asylum hackerspace in Somerville, MA is building a monster rideable hexapod named 'Stompy', with fully articulated legs (18 hydraulics actuators in total), powered by a humongous propane forklift engine.
Did anyone else read this and think they were building a hexapod capable of carrying monsters?
You're a bad ass. Team America - Fuck Yea. The Taliban also served in Afghanistan. If "service" is your criteria, do you thank them also? I'm not supporting the Taliban, but "service" should not be the criteria for thanks.
On a related note...if you feel safer and more comfortable because we're sending people halfway around the world to kill others...in our quest to control our interests in the world...then just keep smoking the good stuff.
I've been thanked for my service as well. But there's nothing I've done that merits that kind of thanks.
Really? Funny, but I can't remember a single example of a 4-year-old obviously American child traveling in the US with her grandmother who has ever blown anything up.
This is because TSA's policies has successfully prevented all such attacks!
In Israel; Hamas and Fatah have a history of strapping young children and mentally handicapped kids with bombs and having them approach Israelis...only to remote detonate the child. Israel has saved more than one of these children by defusing the bomb before they are detonated. So...it's not really true that we don't have the search children. But it should be done professionally and with care.
Teacher: Jimmy, try to do this word problem... Jimmy: Ok, hmmm....maybe if I do this...then take that... Teacher: Never mind Jimmy, this is too hard for you, try another one Jimmy: But I can do this...just give me a minute... Teacher: No, you can't, NEXT! Jimmy::(
Same thing happened to me. My Macbook Pro motherboard fried about 4 yrs out. Apple replaced the motherboard for free; no questions asked. The bill was $1,200 b/f Apple waived it.
They also replaced my iPhone screen when 1 pixel went bad for free...no questions asked...2 months after my 1 yr warranty had expired.
Interesting....the first TVs and Radios were pieces of furniture. Only later did it become fashionable to separate the tv from the furniture. Now we're doing it again.
For Cyberwarfare to be able happen to begin with, critical IT systems on both sides would have to be connected to the Internet, right? Question: Why are those critical IT systems connected-to/reachable by Internet to begin with? Wouldn't you keep those systems AWAY from the Internet, and connect them together using some custom-laid fiberoptic WAN or something?
Systems communicate across the country and sometimes across the world, and their location might be dynamic. It's not possible/practical to have custom fiber everywhere.
Wouldn't you - for security's sake - maybe use custom CPUs/OSs on those systems that aren't even available on the free market? (i.e. having Intel or AMD or ARM manufacture a few thousand non-X86 compatible custom CPUs for you... running a custom-flavour of Linux on them that isn't compatible with the original Linux at all).
It's an almost certainty that there are industrial and foreign spies at Intel, AMD, and nearly every major tech company in the US. And even if that weren't the case, foreign countries have ways of getting people to cooperate, especially when members of their family live abroad. Not sure it's as simple as you think.
Tapes are magnetically sensitive; and don't allow quick random access. Optical disks are fine around magnets/transmitters/EMPs/etc; they have random access.
We have airborne laser based systems capable of taking down ballistic missiles. Who's to say we didn't already use such a system to make sure the N Korean test failed? Would be a great test for the system. Plausible deniability.
However, the humanist in me would argue that the minute we developed strategic missile defense that we should give it away. The world will be a better place if NOBODY can first strike on anyone.
..we will offer it as a no cost option to any country that wants to fall in line with American interests...so it becomes a diplomatic and strategic tool for keeping our allies close and gaining new ones.

don't be such a gimp about it.

neither.
To summarize:
Suspend all rational thought and logic...and you can believe in the space wizard(s) in the sky. For many of us....this comes as no surprise.
Can you really thank someone for what they have done when you don't know what it is that they have done? Seems disingenuous.
VHS?

People who work in the 'chip' business are familiar with SoC, or Salsa on Crotch.
at least it was mini.
That would be frustrating as hell...

most of our bombing will be vai drones to take out other drones. It will be a Drone War.
