Actually I wouldn't blame them if the did. Who's to say that sometime in the future they won't make a low-powered SPARC processor and a tablet. Heck, with Android being GPL'd they might be the only people who have the undisputed rights to release an android tablet.
Really, how does a muslim air-force mechanic disable all planes? I'm guessing USAF operations are a little bit too sophisticated for a rouge agent to disable the entire fleet of aircraft. LOL, then pakistan overwhelms forward operations with superior fire power. LOL. LOL. go back to your paperbacks idiot.
That is not the suggestion. The suggestion is that as the US are not releasing source code there could be a "disable" function in systems sold to foreign powers. If there is it would involve some secret key, maybe a particular combination of IFF signals received. I would imagine it would be accessible by people in strategic command rather than mechanics too.
The US is willing to invest heavily in upgrading old avionics while keeping the source for all the software. Would you buy a piece of military hardware knowing that the aging paranoid warcrazy manufacturer may have retained the ability to disable all those planes with the flip of a switch?
That's true. All you need is one Muslim in the US air-force to put his duty religion first and all your planes are disabled while Pakistan attacks.

If that's true and safe harbour arrangements are not exempted it will be illegal for any European company storing data that can be linked to an individual to us a US company to store, hold or process it. Its lucky that India and China don't have the same laws.
GP is bullshitting, I can't think of any way that sending exactly the same data from the same host can introduce security issues if you don't close and reopen the connection between each one.
IIRC, some attacks against SSL were based on pipelining (where a malicious man-in-the-middle was somehow injecting its own data into the connection, making it look like it was pipelined data from the original client)
They could do that and not send/change data in a new connection?
I'm still 100% perfectly fine with google+ name policy.
Your name almost certainly isn't "Doctor" (well, unless your parents had really really high expectations from you at birth). Stop being pretentious.
You make a lot of cultural assumptions there. Whereas "doctor" is quite rare, but not unheard of as a name in Arfica, other titles like Lord, Queen, Princess, and Dame are quite common in some subcultures.
To reiterate my reply below no, pipelining offers very little gain vs true "multiplexing" and it represents a security risk.
security risk? like what?

A river of blood is probably not subtle enough to need a warrant to see where it originates from.
(After a quick Google) Hey there is a band named River of Blood imagine that.
You're using your own values to define what "good" is though. To a deeply religious person, good is whatever their god/book says is good. To a non religious person, good probably involves trying to keep everyone happy.
It sounds like your values actually do align with ahimsa. In fact it sounds to me to be pretty much what western law expects of citizens too. In fact it sounds like they also have stuff in common with Islam:
Hindu scriptures and law books support the use of violence in self-defense against an armed attacker.[34] They make it clear that criminals are not protected by the rule of ahinsa.[35] They have no misgivings about the death penalty; their position is that evil-doers who deserve death should be killed, and that a king in particular is obliged to punish criminals and should not hesitate to kill them, even if they happen to be his own brothers and sons.
That's why I said the jain rather than the Hindu concept, though Hindus vary widely and Gandhi's ahimsa is very different from the Rajput code for example.
"some values are better than others" strange/amusing, since by definition it is always going to be your own values that are "better than others".
Many can be seen as equivalent or as good as, at least. I am not even sure that you can say that yours are always going to be best, I have a great admiration for the Jain interpretation of ahimsa (non harm) but see that it can't be applied outside their society.
But you're only judging some inferior because of your own values.
I do agree with your values in this case, I just find the whole judging thing amusing, as if there is some absolute moral code that we should be judging things against..
True, if you didn't believe in the golden rule, freedom of speech, equality of all in front of the law, freedom to practice your religion, freedom to change religion or not believe, equal treatment of the sexes, the right of homosexuals to live, that consummated marriage at 9 is wrong, and that amputation for theft and stoning to death for adultery were not proportionate and reasonable punishments - then you might think that Islam is a fine religion.
If you want to believe it morally equivalent then fine - the funny thing is that saying that they are morally equivalent in a Muslim country (they have freedom of speech so they can criticise or burn the Quran, you're only judging this inferior because of your own values) would get you killed for blasphemy.
If they were obeying their law, why didn't the police let them lynch the guy? Or was the lynching actually illegal, and your statement had no basis in reality?
It is legal in Sharia law, which is only half imposed in Indonesia so far. It is in Iran though.
This is what happens when any country is run by Muslims. We see it in Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, etc.
How's the situation in Indonesia, by the way? It also has a strong Muslim population base, Jakarta being the world's 2nd largest city (Tokyo is 1st).
Aside from mobs attacking churches, laws coming i that call for amputation, and laws that subjugate minorities it is doing well. As Muslim states go it is a political paradise, only a low level of sustained violence with occasional massacres.

Do people really name tablets after the processors?
Possibly not, but it could be a generically used term, like people say "arm tablet", or more unusually "atom tablet".
Actually I wouldn't blame them if the did. Who's to say that sometime in the future they won't make a low-powered SPARC processor and a tablet. Heck, with Android being GPL'd they might be the only people who have the undisputed rights to release an android tablet.

You do know that there is quite a big Muslim minority in France too, right?
Absolutely, if the French systems were being sold without software source code then they should be even more nervous of them.

I will never comprehend the "if you don't believe, I'll beat the shit out of you" mentality.
Read the Qur'an it worked for Muhammad (piss be upon him)
While you probably won't get jailed for saying such...
...you can still get the Christian mob to lynch you, eg. Jessica Ahlquist
The thing is the Muslim lynch squad is literally a lynch squad and they are obeying their law.

A country run by (fundamentalist) Muslims is not a good idea. Same goes for fundamentalist Christians. Or fundamentalist whatever.
To have any moral standing you'd have to fight death penalty in your own country.
My country doesn't have the death penalty
