Which war was that? Libya got itself into a civil war.
And of course Trump couldn't start any wars, he's been a real estate executive and TV host. If a real estate executive could start a war, something is really wrong.
Imagine the patience the astronauts needed as their spindly tin can lander is moving toward the moon and funny codes start popping up on the landing computer.
I'm surprised the flight controller didn't call for an abort. They are getting funny codes that nobody understands but back-room techies. Most managers would probably not want to take that risk because they don't know enough about the situation yet. If something went wrong, they'd be chewed out for taking the risk without understanding the situation.
Part of the reason they may have continued is that aborting also had risks.
I was too young during Apollo 11 to remember anything coherently, but Viking 1 memories are robust.
Our TV was acting up at the time such that Viking 1's first images didn't show up very well on the news.
But a few days later at summer school, the teacher unfolded the daily newspaper at her desk while students were (supposed to be) studying. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stood up and walked toward the center of the room and placed the paper flat on a desk in the middle of the classroom without saying word.
On the very top of the front page was a stunning black-and-white image of sand/dust dunes and a big-ass boulder, with just the words "Mars!" as a label.
The students started gathering around in amazement. "It looks like a rocky beach! Maybe it landed on Earth by mistake, like on Gilligan's Island [TV show]," one kid shouted.
It's obviously political grandstanding based on this quote alone: "We are indeed in a dark place when companies put their reputations above the greater good."
Apple has stated it puts all users ("greater good") at risk to find or create a back-door. Even if the BlackBerry CEO disagrees with the weight of one risk against the other (potentially solving crimes now versus creating more in the future), he should give Apple the benefit of the doubt in terms of internal motivation, and simply say, "I disagree with Apple's weighing of probabilities" rather than question Apple's motives.
It's unprofessional to publicly question motives unless you have solid evidence of bias. Disagreement about risk probability estimates does not even come close to that level.
If by chance Apple replies and says BlackBerry is just saying that to get gov't contracts, they'd be committing the same sin of guessing motivations instead of focusing the facts of differing professional assessments.
Everybody probably has some degree internal biases, some they are aware of and some not. Human nature. Pointing that out doesn't tell anybody anything new, and is rude: it generates heat, not light.
My doc asked me about family history of a condition. I told her my mom had surgery for the condition roughly a year ago. She started typing in the date, and paused:
"It requires an exact date. I can't enter an approximation. Can you by chance remember your mom's exact surgery date? They don't like dates that are off in case they want to research it.", she asked. (My mom is under the same provider.)
After pondering a bit, I suggested she see if there is a "notes" fields to indicate it's only an approximation.
"Hmm, let me see...", she replied.
After about 5 minutes of digging between screens, she said, "Okay, here's the doggon note section."
Earth's rotation is due to eventually become tidally locked with the Moon's rotation. That may override the Sun's influence, at least until the Moon crashes into Earth, if the universe lasts that long.
The Moon is due to get further away by stealing rotational momentum from Earth. However, once tidally locked, it will gradually get closer.
Slashdot Mirror
Already solved: the pollution will change their hormones and turn them gay.
He will "create" jobs by causing war and chaos.
If "synergy" is the power of multiple top minds working together, then "suckergy" must be the multiplied suckage of two lame orgs merging.
You mean Mother of All Basements. This is Slashdot.
Shhhh, it's only a model.

It's why I almost want to vote for Trump even though he's a pompous vapid xenophobe who may get us all nuked.
Perhaps they speak (or grunt) to our ancient poop-flinging ape side somehow.
Now excuse me while I go get a banana to snack on while trolling...
In the spirit of Boaty McBoatface, why not "Ronald McDonald"? ...... oh, wait
Then you'll have to kill the rats yourself.

It was a trimmed version of this image.

Agreed!

My dog drinks it before it reaches me.
I'm waiting for their next model, the "Mr. Fusion".

The simulation blew its stack in the "Turtles" aisle.
(No, that's not a Mitch McConnell joke.)
So, my couch can fetch me a beer without me ever leaving it?
So far the "regular" Dept. office email server was hacked. No evidence so far H's was.
(Although, I suspect it has been, just not detected yet. Just about everything else with generic security and gov't related was.)
