if you stand for something right, do not be afraid of adversary consequences.
Actually this is the attitude of all religious nuts. Extremist Christians blew up a Planned Parenthood in California last month even though it is clearly illegal. Israeli Extremists are occupying the West Bank, because they think it was given to them by God. All religious extremism has this same type of stupidity.
You interpreted his statement 180degrees. He was saying "Don't be afraid of what others will do to you" (ie expect to be brutalized for what you believe because people will misunderstand) Of course, he chose one of the _worst_ possible examples since the FBI clearly understood correctly that the dude wanted to attack an army base.
No, we have the presumption of innocence that says that he is a law-abiding citizen. If the FBI suspects he's not, they can gather evidence with due fucking process.
Which GPS trackers are now a part of. The FBI didn't play judge jury and executioner here, they acted within the scope of the (current) law to gather evidence.
Rather a (*#$@ move on their part, but perfectly within bounds.
I want all my passwords to be a minimum of 9 characters, have plenty of symbols, and (and no sites ever require this) have no dictionary words in them.
How is %j@L:[`.^ any more secure than %j@Cat`.^ ? The inclusion of a word makes it easier to remember, and no less difficult to crack. Maybe easier to shoulder surf, but a stern glare, harrumph, and eventually shoving the rude shoulder surfer out the door beat that. In fact, I'll take a long passphrase filled with actual dictionary words (and maybe a misspelled one or odd symbol) before going back to a short, impossible to remember password with silly entropy rules.
"Seeing stuff" isn't the danger. When someone has access to your account, it's what they can _do_ that matters. They can impersonate you with emails or system messages sent to other users. They can do illegal, potentially evil things under your account, perhaps framing you. Your account may have access you're unaware of in your network, such that if you knew the true extent of your access, you would be concerned.
one of the biggest excuses I hear from people when I talk to them about password security is they will say "oh my account doesn't do much" or "its not a big deal if someone gets my stuff".
Accounts need to be equated to guns or knives. "Would you care if someone got into your gun locker?"
Or less drastically, as cars. "Do you care if someone uses your car in a drive-by, bank robbery, or hit and run?"

However, if Israel stops and the [if] Palestinians don't, there will be mass casualties on Israel's side.
Because the stated goal on the Palestinian side (their current government) is the destruction of Israel and pushing the Jews into the sea.
If the Palestinians stop and [if] Israel doesn't rescind their apartheid policies,
Because the stated goal of Israel is apartheid (irrespective of violence from those being kept apart)?
Obviously that is true of any ordinary book, but the point here is that it refutes the Bible as the supposed "One True Word of God".
How exactly does it refute anything? Has it been established that God would have spoken to Abraham and Moses, (and equally, Jesus to the disciples) in a language that all men understand (speaking in tongues), and that the hearers of that language could faithfully write it in such a way that all men can read it? I agree that "writing in tongues" would be pretty awesome, but its lack says nothing about the Bible's nature.

So I guess your local terrorist cells won't be having their strategy meetings under the cover of all that stadium noise any more. Of course it also means that Randy Dandy might wanna think twice before sitting in the stands with his best bud and confessing that he's been cheating on his wife.
A several-hour long event, with thousands of people... I doubt they're going to have humans listening to every conversation (that would be a lot of paid man-hours). So they'll be using it for after-the-fact evidence of a crime (just like most security cameras), and _maybe_ they'll filter the realtime audio through a few computers to listen for some keywords.
Its usually a good indication that they are ignored or virtually ignored.
So the social rule on twitter is to always acknowledge receipt of any post? When someone says "I'm in section 2A of the stadium", you're supposed to tweet back "ack'd" instead of going to talk with them in person? If a twitterer gets any responses at all, ever, then that's a good indication that all of their stuff is being read by someone, but only a few things merit a response.
The only reason I could possibly see a higher incidence of cell explosion when on aircraft is if the cell was in a non-pressurized compartment such that the sealed cell expanded in such a way that an internal short was caused in the cell causing a fire.
Ah yes, pV=nRT. Of course, increasing temperature while simultaneously reducing air pressure is a neat trick in an airplane unless you're on a tarmac in Denver. Even then it doesn't seem like enough.
"Sir, please confirm that your laptop doesn't have enough stored power to boot up." potentially followed by "Please boot up your laptop". Hope you didn't forget you charger!
Personally, I like government inefficiency. It is one of the only things that helps keep my government from going on a totally batshit-insane, effective power trip.
There's a reason why our government was set up the way it is; it's intentionally inefficient. The Founders knew that efficiency in government leads to consolidation of power in one man or a select few, and they wanted to avoid that at all costs.
I suppose it's Apple's obsession with not compromising on aesthetics, being stubborn about their way of doing things and their experimentation with new materials and manufacturing processes.
If Apple was a droid manufacturer in Star Wars, their astromech droids would all look (and act) like C-3PO. Sometimes form should follow function.
