Because its now supersonic vers sonic the drag penalty is far worse. Even worse is that you just don't get L/D ratios close to what you get for transonic airfoils. High bypass turbofans are also out, so your going to have worse engine efficiency as well. Oh and you still may have too much sonic boom to fly fast over land. If your R&D is free people would probably pay to make some money. But R&D is going to be horrendously expensive.
It is a high risk, high capitol low return investment.
Don't forget engine development. That on its own could cost more R&D than it would ever be worth. Just intakes alone are very hard to design for these sorts of speeds, and have them work well enought at landing and takeoff.
It would not be that hard to simply power bits and pieces to copy an image. The test passwords till your hearts content. It is not like iPhones are tamper resistant.
The phone is not made from tamper resistant hardware. It is not even in the threat model. It is not hard to gain the required access with sufficient application of a soldering iron.
The exploit is based on the fact that the pass code is too small, so its not really an exploit IMO. There is no way around offline attacks with small passwords or phrases. And if you have the hardware it is always a matter of time to do an offline attack. Hell it really isn't hard to do. Typically you can buy cracking kits off the internet, a new phone takes a little while to get kits common enough.
No nothing like that at all. Unless you want a receiving area many times bigger than what a solar farm would be anyway, its 100s of watts per m2. More than enough to be a problem if there are beam control issues.
You idiot... it doesn't matter how much we mitigate CO2 whatever disaster humans are currently befalling the earth because of us. We will need to adapt to changing conditions regardless. As we have done so for that few million years.
How the fuck are humans better with mechanical failures or bad weather? Some magic pixie human brain shit? Some magical midiclorians or something. Cus a machine is going to see better than a human in *all* weather, adjust quicker than any human to changing conditions and more accurately detect these conditions.
Humans are not magic, why do you think it will be harder for a machine to these things right when they are going to be the easiest things to do better than humans. ALL humans as well, not the just the average human.
These days few of us need a PoP. We just pay for rack space and that is all part of the deal. And to be honest you can get quite good rates. Even better it can be where your customers are and even in a different country. My office need nothing much better than domestic internet with a up time guarantee.
And back on topic there is no indication that this was a PoP setup in the first place.
This is just not true. Sure the peasant working in the farm may not have access to the modern trappings of technology and development. But you bet your arse the nuclear bomb department has it all. They will have all the microprocessors and accelerometers and gyros they want. After all if you can get uranium, getting the other stuff is just not going to be difficult.
SLA still have an up time requirement. Not connected is not connected and would count. Also all of these contracts have a "commencement date" or some such thing. There is no way in hell even standard boilerplate contract wouldn't have minimum times for connection of service . These contracts have good lawyers on both sides typically and well i wouldn't be surprised if comsat tried to just pull one over the guy wihtout any legal position.
And slightly worse. Democrat vs Republican (no it is not quite the same as left vrs right). Many Americans seem to think there is exactly 2 side and only 2 side to every single issue or problem in the world combined.
They have simply not tested this enough to give these kind of figures. Also you really can't hide these sort of tests from the public. So it is doubtful it is based on "secret tests"
The analogy with shooting a.50cal bullet out of the air with a.22 would only be correct if the.22 bullets were made out of some nano particle magic Pt and cost a Million per shot. Then you get an idea of the cost asymmetry. It is *always* far cheaper for the attacker than the defender. This is not a new idea. MAD was the result of this number crunching at the dawn of the nuclear age.
One reason ICBMs worked was because with nuke you don't need to be very accurate. Fortunately so far they have failed in making said nuke. But is 2016, it is a lot easier to make a nuke than in '45. Over all there is no reason to think they can't do it. Probably. Eventually. Also the low end small n. bomb is probably around 10-30kgs depending how you slice it.
Yes they can be expected to foot the bill. Commercial contracts have SLA. If they fail to even connect they can hardly claim you have 99.9% availability. That is why you pay so much more for commercial contracts. Both sides have more on the line.
We use one at our rocket club. You get pretty awesome footage. But it is a *lot* more expensive than $800, closer to $2000. It is pretty shiny. But we only need one for a club of a few 100 people.
The scientific literature is even more vague, for the simple reason the models simply can't predict anything specific. Clearly no here bothers reading it. You clearly didn't.

You know whats clear. You haven't read the science. Not properly that is for sure.

And humans do? I have seen humans "deal with black ice", it is called crashing.

So yes, a simcity 2000 cityzapper.
Even if humans never burnt a single kg of carbon based fuels. Ocean levels would still rise. They rise for quite a while after a glaciation.
titans are more about CUDA performance than graphics. They aren't really any better than the GTX when it comes to games.
His point from the poorly worded summary is that there are far bigger errors. So it really doesn't matter.

120 DAYS! Yea who the hell would sign that? Unless you really didn't need the internet or something and the service was super cheap.
