The laws were known to be invalid since the development of Maxwell's equations. Einstein was continuing the work of Fitzgerald and Lorenz in the area. All 4 of the papers in the Annus Mirabilis (1905) were very much in line what was expected. General Relativity (1915) was part of a research programme begun to connect Newtonian gravity to special relativity. There were many theories proposed, Einstein just had the luck and intuition to find the right one.
Who decides what those national security interests are? Did the United States have a security interest in bombing Vietnam that was so important it transcended the rights of the people to express their opinion on it through the political system? What about murdering El Salvadorian peasants, bombing the harbors of Nicaragua, assassinating exiles on the streets of DC? Was that so important that the people of the United States should not have been allowed to decide if this was how their country would behave? Politics is the only alternative to violence. We should not lightly silence it.
But you can't avoid the attack. Do you seriously think that terrorists will use any communications medium that can be intercepted now that they know wiretaps exist? Do you seriously think they would need to have the fact that they themselves are being wiretapped known to avoid the wiretap? And if they are this dumb why do you think we should be afraid? The only people who can destroy the US Constitution are the Americans. And they are doing one good job of it.
But will they defend the right to tinker against large corporations with interests in curtailing it? I think not. They are anti-gay rights, anti-abortion, and have a regressive view of liberty. They do not understand the Enlightenment philosophy from which the US Constitution springs. They are not interested in further realizing emancipatory possibilities. A vote for them will be a victory for the forces of evil that seek to make this country into something like Ireland.
Three umpires were asked about their jobs. One said "There are balls and there are strikes, and I call them as they are." The second said "There are balls and there are strikes, and I call them as I see them." The third said "There are balls and there are strikes, but they ain't nothing 'till I call them". There are plenty of court cases decided on opinion, like the ending of discrimination in DC schools. This is a case we should all be happy with, but it wasn't decided on any word of the Constitution, just an argument that the Constitution should bind the federal government more then the states.
Well, that's not how it works. The FCC is told to regulate the spectrum for a variety of uses, and Congress tells it to decide how best to do that. The FCC can make rules that relate only to that purpose. This way we avoid needing acts of congress for each licensing change etc.
Yes, math education in the US needs to better get across the beauty and importance of experimentation in mathematics. But mathematics itself is determined. Take the Intermediate Value Theorem for functions on \mathbb{R}. Some take it as an axiom, others as the result of a construction, some more as a theorem following from continuity and Least-Upper Bounds, and a few crazy people as a trivial theorem following from applying the transfer principle to a simple calculation. But we all know that it's true. What's more, no one with alternate axioms seriously proposes them as True unless they actually agree with ZFC. In fact, working mathematicians happily use all sorts of informal but still rigorous reasoning.
You know what we don't understand at all? turbulence. Anyone can see it, and no one has the slightest clue how it works. And for a ten year old anything they haven't seen is cool. How about the oxidization states of manganese, each one a different color, or the synthesis of aspirin?
Ham radio is still around. There are lots of new ideas in low power communication. In the 2003 ARRL handbook there is a project where you build a direct conversion quadrature receiver, and so can hear the frequency spectrum from left to right. That's actually a new idea, and well within a weekend.
It's not pixie dust. It's noting that a group wishing to take down the cell network probably could make a transmitter to do it rather then use a jailbroken cellphone.
How much does a cellphone cost? Now ask how much it would take to get an RF transmitter capable of speaking cellphone well enough to hack a tower. Getting access to transmitters is not a major barrier. I want to know why towers are not running heavily validated code given their importance as communications systems.
Why don't they just install OpenBSD and write secure code? It's not like we don't know how to do it. Let's stop pissing on our feet and saying that it's raining.
WWII destroyed the British Empire, ruined all of Eastern Europe, and devastated Japan. You want to fight another one like that? Are you nuts? I suppose that telling Americans that war is not a good idea is a waste of effort: They never had to fight a real war on their soil. But let's agree for the sake of argument that killing people because they live somewhere is wrong. Let's agree that raping people is wrong. Let's agree that starving people is wrong. If you don't want to fight a war under those rules, you probably shouldn't start one. Furthermore water and electricity are most certainly not military targets, nor are ports or factories not related to military industries.
So when Roe v. Wade was decided, everyone agreed abortion should be legal? Or when Griswald v. Connecticut enabled birth control to be advertised everyone supported it? Any social code of ethics is most likely derived from a leap of faith, and so should not be respected. Why should we have marriage between man and a woman? No argument can say that that is true from the axioms of logic. And so we have no social ethics, but only law.
~10 Muslims were arrested for terrorist plots in the US. In the same time frame hundreds of doctors have been threatened, and some have been murdered, for providing women with abortions. Let's not forget the murder of Matthew Sheppard. There are 2 abortion providers in Mississippi, all the others have been forced out of Mississippi by harassment. In Mississippi many pharmacies do not carry oral contraceptives. Doctors who prescribe the morning after pill frequently find their patients cannot find the drug. The Christians in the United States do not resort to terrorism because they have already won.
The advantage of a laptop is that it is portable. This makes it possible to bring it down to a common area and have multiple people watching what is on the screen.

Who? Can you show me the studies? Can you show me the absence of papers saying those papers are full of crap?

He's a rightist. Of course he's opportunistic, that's what the right is!

Maybe you should run a secure system at your endpoints.
It's because latinum is liquid and so sloshes around.
This unholy abomination called System V will have to be sliced out ipcrm by ipcrm from the body of the penguin before any merger can be contemplated!
Which can be fixed by having your own CA and disabling trust of the sent out list.
In fact Phil did just that to bring the code to Canada.

The tenure system is what made German research universities dominate science, and Germany dominate Europe from 1870-1918.

So gay sex is disgusting? Nice to see you agree with the islamists so much.
