"The engine burn was normal up until the extension of the feathers," said Hart.
Normally, the feather system wouldn’t be unlocked until the rocket-powered spaceship is moving about Mach 1.4, or 1.4 times faster than the speed of sound.
Instead, the co-pilot moved the lever from locked to unlock when the spaceship was traveling at about Mach 1, Hart said.

This will be amusing to watch the fallout. (Note: the incident itself is not amusing, but rather the nutjobs who will come up with some, shall we say, interesting theories.)

If I wanted a piano player that is fun to watch I'd take Robert Wells instead.
That was quite the performance. Odd that some of the orchestra seemed to be like, "eh, screw this", while some of them were quite clearly enjoying themselves (being completely unable to suppress shit-eating grins).

Whoops. I missed the part where the person you were replying to said slander. I thus interpreted your comment exactly backward--it should apply to the person you responded to, not you. Sorry about that!
I would prefer my stomach and intestines last me for a good long time. Perhaps you might also lay off the coffee, soda, and sugar if you also want longtime GI.
Have you actually seen a photo of Everest, or a video of "rich people climbing it"? The sherpas do 99.9% of the word: fixing lines, hauling supplies, etc.. All the difficult stuff is done by them. The rich people strap on an oxygen mask and hold onto the rope. It's a glorified via ferrata. There are literally lines (both rope and people) up the side. They ook like lines of ants. They'll practically carry you if you can't make it. I doubt most of those people could do it own their own. The sherpas are the ones busting ass and risking their lives to make it a walk in the park.
(I keed! I keed!) They have a fantastic track record. I've finally switched over to OpenBSD myself and I'm psyched about this latest release--been waiting eagerly all month for it.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Apparently he also suffers from Alzheimers! We replaced his escape completion with tab completion around the same time were replaced his lead dentures!
The first explosion happened at 12 seconds in. Not 20 seconds. 2:56 == Launch. 3:08 == 1st explosion. It hit the pad at 3:16, or 20 seconds in. So, what you're suggesting is that the RSO blew it up at the exact moment it hit the pad. From the video, I couldn't say, but it sure looks like it didn't need help.
Forget it. They'll just smash the window and replace it, or haul it onto a flatbed and work on it at their leisure.
Lever tumblers aren't going to be my first choice for something like a car. Large mechanism for one that's difficult to pick, and not as robust as a disc lock. Drill points are available from the manufacturers. Not hard to get. Hard plate and ball bearings and chips are wonderful, but...again, better for safes. Also, auto lockies are going to hate you. Relockers? Same deal. That sort of thinking works better for safes, where you have an object which is purposely large, heavy, and bolted down to concrete. Modern cars already have immobilizers.
Electronic locks hold an immense amount of promise for the future of auto locks. They're not nearly so prone to dust, dirt, space, or cost. A proper implementation will take work, but I don't see it as being infeasible. Crypto done right is harder to get past than a physical lock, which will of course just shift the means of entry to something more appealing. Modern car thieves will use a laptop more than a lockpick. That's just how the arms race goes.
Basing your protocol's PRNG (I'm assuming that sort of design here, although it's by no means the only way to skin that cat) on a serial number is Bad Idea (#1). If you need to hide the algorithm, you've already lost. That's Bad Idea #2.
Something more along the lines of using public-key crypto for your CHAP is more sensible. The car spits out a one-time value and asks the key to encrypt it. Then, the car decrypts the result to verify it. (DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a cryptographer, just a hobbyist in this regard. There's about a million and one ways to screw this up, most of them non-obvious. Taking my advice for anything besides experimentation is downright stupid. Don't roll your own. Hire a professional to do the work.)
Okay, I typed out a whole post, but this is laughable.
Most locksmiths (I Am A Locksmith) and thieves have the same goal, but for different reasons: get in, and get in quickly. (For the professional locksmith, time is money, and I can make more calls if I bust your lock open versus spending a few more minutes to pick it; for the thief, the longer you stand around, the more likely you are to be caught).
They'll just break out the drill if you make it too hard to pick quickly. Or the screwdriver. It's amazing what a long-handled flat-bladed screwdriver will do to your average pin/wafer tumbler lock...
The only way tools/knowledge get expensive is if you're into safecracking (oohhh.. so pretty...>/drool>). The idea that you can make a physical lock (crypto offers some quite nice advantages here) that the average locksmith is going to spend time picking but a thief won't is absurd.
I'll just tell the customer to replace it, unless they have some weird sentimental attachment and feel like paying me to stand there and pick it (I'm totally cool with that too). A disc (not to be confused with a disk tumbler) is a good option in the "hard-to-pick" category (though not unpickable by any stretch, and the Abloy Protecs have a serious flaw... you can google for it). They also take about 10 seconds to drill with the proper milling cutter. If that.
The closest thing to an unpickable lock is the one on some fortress phones which uses a ratcheting lever lock (so once you raise a lever, it will never come down any lower than that). It also doesn't give you any feedback, so if you screw up, it's back to the drill with you!
And that's a disc lock (not to be confused with a "disk"/wafer lock). Those aren't terribly common, although the price has come down significantly in the past couple years. I've got a couple on hand and the tools to pick them (yes, IAAL--I Am A Locksmith). And yes, they can also be picked, although it's a real bear, because they don't give you any feedback on whether or not you've spun the disc to the right position (they're built very similarly to a sidebar wafer lock in the sense that they use a sidebar to avoid giving you feedback). One of my bicycle locks is also a disc lock, works fabulously for gritty/dirty conditions that would murder a pin tumbler. They also have another vulnerability to speed things up, but this isn't a locksmithing forum and I'm too lazy to do your googling for you.
If I had a customer ask me to get in, I'd probably suggest drilling it. The price has come down enough to replace them.

+1, Insightful. If you believe something, you should lead by example--from the front. Otherwise your belief isn't worth the hot air it's made of.
their involvement in the holocaust was all in the past and shouldn't effect their life now
You're right! I say we hang the bastard and prevent their life from being effected any longer!
I know! Dejan was a perfectly cromulent donkey intervarsity whinglebat drapes!
"Bob9113 is an awful human being."
Can't be untrue, unless Bob9113 is not, in fact, a human being.. It's a statement of opinion, not one of fact, since 'awful' is subjective.
I know my school covered fact versus opinion. Sometimes, I wonder how many other schools did.
Whoops. I missed the part where the person you were replying to said slander. I thus interpreted your comment exactly backward--it should apply to the person you responded to, not you. Sorry about that!
Slander? What statements were made that were a) facts and b) untrue? Also, I believe you meant 'libel', as this is in print.
I would prefer my stomach and intestines last me for a good long time. Perhaps you might also lay off the coffee, soda, and sugar if you also want longtime GI.
Or you can buy a refurb'd Thinkpad for $125-150 with specs and durability that will blow away these toys. Works just fine.

people who use spaces in filenames are imbeciles. They don't have a clue how command lines operate.
Grandpa, you've lost your tab completion again! Whatever will we do...
In my day, we had to escape spaces in the snow, uphill, both ways!

Old spark plugs work nicely too. That ceramic stuff is super-hard. Will shatter a window like nothing with just a small chip of it.
As opposed to partially dying? I'm not sure that's how that works.
Forget it. They'll just smash the window and replace it, or haul it onto a flatbed and work on it at their leisure.
